What top line ? We have no stinking top line .

Exactly.

And yes, Philadelphia is worse than Buffalo, but it also isn't located in the tundra.

Tallinder equals no thanks.

Care to shed light on Josefson and Urbom?
- kingcong39

Myers and him being a great pairing doesn't interest you?
Josefson is a decent 3rd liner, good 2 way player, Urbom is a solid D prospect, probably mid-pairing. You can have Tedenby too if you want a skilled speedy winger.

what about Ryder/Horton?

Zubrus-Loktionov-Kovalchuk
Elias-Zajac-Ryder/Horton

i think either winger would compliment these 2 nicely.

add Raymond to the 3rd line LW with Henrique and whoever on the right, and we got ourselves a team without trading the world for Vanek..

Dark days are coming up for the Devils...

i'm surprised you can even be able to distinguish the difference between dark days and bright days.. being and Islanders fan for so long. This year must be a revelation for you.

i'm fully confident brighter days are coming for the Devils.

A lot of riff raff coming out of the woodwork.

The Devils need Sam Woo

Leaving up "The Devils are truly built for this time of year" throughout the summer...true wisdom.

Uhh, no - I have. We're right where we wanna be, adding another high draft pick. The Avs management has refused to fire the worst coach in the NHL, so we endure another painful year, albeit shortened and sweet.

Once Succo is gone, we will be fine. Coming from a Blues fan who went through the very same thing for what.. 15 seasons? I would have thought you coulda gone back just a tad to when Hitch was hired. How did that work out for ya big guy? Did that help? Did it make all the difference in the world to a young team who was up and coming to have a real life NHL coach behind the bench? You tell everyone your thoughts on that one for a minute.

As for our team, we're going to be fine, as witnessed by you guys fighting for your playoff lives, and we're out, but hung a 5 spot on you, lol.

Our defense is terrible. They can't figure out that Barrie and Elliot are better than the pylons we call Hunwick and O'Byrne. They sent Barrie down after the team won games with him in, and were losing with the others in.

What do you want me to do? Their PK at home is the best in the NHL. Didn't know that did you?

We can't play ES or PP because Succo is a moron, and has no idea what he's doing. He was a career 4th liner. Say that again 3 or 4 or 5 more times to yourself. CAREER 4th liner. He was a terrible player, and has no business trying to tell kids like Landy and Dutch and the rest how to play hockey.

Care to trade head coaches for next season? Just as an experiment.

Please?

The Devils should be able to get a really good player in this year's draft? Are they likely to go offensive or defense?

Well, okay, good point.

Regier: Sorry, we called up Grigorenko so he would have time to break Gretzky's career goal record this season. No room.

Lou: Crap! Okay, on second thought, we've decided that your punishment is to be a Flames fan for the remainder of the year.

So basically your goal is to become the oilers and just stockpile high picks without making the playoffs.

As for my original point, yes Kovy stinks and isn't worth it, not even close.

He goes down and the team tanks? Get real. This isn't the AHL. Teams should be able to endure the loss of a player. If the rest of the team is that BAD then holy hell... hahahaha.. i'm laughing even harder now..

His contract is a joke. He's there forever. You can't trade him. He's going to retire early.. he packs it in half the time.. what's his career +/- ? Anyone? In how many years in the league? Hmmm...

1 pt in the Finals last year?

DEPTH. Look at it. You gotta go out and get a starting goalie, a backup goalie, because well... Hedberg (frank)ing sucks.. At least one top 6 winger.. possibly a top 6 C...

Zajac = bust. Lokti? lol.

If you think he's top 6 then lollerskates.

You guys are in deep poop. Enjoy pretending like it's not happening.

Oh, and a shrinking cap next year. weeeeeeee

Our defensive prospects are deep. Unless we can get a top notch offensive D, then I'll be disappointed if we don't go with a winger.

Offense. Devils have some solid D prospects, definitely need more O.

Do they have any young goaltender talent in the pipeline?

That's exceptionally harsh. You don't want to break his head, do you?

We donn't really have a blue chipper but a couple of options. Drafting a goalie in the first round won't do us much good, but I wouldn't mind using our 2nd rounder on one.

Uhh, no - I have. We're right where we wanna be, adding another high draft pick. The Avs management has refused to fire the worst coach in the NHL, so we endure another painful year, albeit shortened and sweet.

You might be the biggest moron in awhile to post on HB. Being a career 4th liner doesnt mean you cant coach or know how to play hockey. Doesnt even mean your a terrible player. If your role is a 4th liner that is what you do. You did something to get there. You sound very very bitter. If you know so much more than your coach now, why arent your coacking your beloved AV's to the promise land? Why are you just trying to put down a Blues fan? Oh no you put up 5 goals on them. Theyre still going to playoffs most likely. Even if they miss out theyre season is more a success than yours. You need to worry about your management more than your coach. EJ trade is setting you guys back many years.

Good day.
