Sp = Top Skating Speed (mph)

Ross Colton is more of a 3rd liner.

I would love to have a 4th line that can crash and bang like Carter - Gionta - Bernier

Maybe Duhaime - Cousins - Bastian (that is if we keep Bastian)

Mantha would be great, but he may cost more money.

Three fellas that are heavy, fast and hard on forecheck…would be a nice mix up to top-9 that we have.

Seamus Casey was named a finalists for Big Ten "Defensive Player of the Year" (goes to best defensive player....can go to forward or dman)

He's a throw in on a Markey trade!

I went to the game today in Vegas

Brutal…

Missed the game
It looked like they held for a bit, just same ole same ole?

I think at this point, we should just stop watching the games.

Left off....
Santeri Hatakka
Graeme Clarke
Topias Vilen
Samu Salminen
Ethan Edwards
Charlie Leddy

Odd list

Can't generate any offense under Travis Green

I'm stunned!
At least that helps us not choose him as a full timer
Jack should be surgery about a week from now!

Can't generate offense.

Veterans can't motivate them

Captain can't even speak up.

Why did we even give Nico the C?

Amateur hour in Calgary they tried to sign a 25 year old to an ELC

Dcore tonight:

3 rookies
Bahl
28 year old rookie
Brendan Smith

What a lineup

Former Devils pick Patrick Moynihan has earned an AHL deal with Chicago (unaffiliated with any NHL team).

This looks like the 2022-23 Devils!

Nice win

I want to believe it is the start of a streak. I want to believe that we are this year's Panthers.
