hopefully by next year the kids have their kinks worked out. Helgeson has been solid so far. Then when Greene moves on Santini will be more than ready. .. if all goes according to plan.

Oh Santini forgot about him! Damn we are STACKED with quality Dmen prospects. We could use a couple more high end forwards though, not looking good once Jagr and Elias are gone.

Will be a whole different team, lots of cap available after this year. Free agency market isn't that great though for value per dollar.

Odds on Bobby Ryan not signing a contract extension with OTT and signing here next offseason?

25-1. Speaking of odds, I actually put a bet on Zajac. Bovada had the O/U for his point total at 44.5. I took the over. DON'T (frank) THIS UP, TRAV.

Other player O/U's listed:

Cammalleri - 50.5
Jagr - 56.5

I would've bet Cam, but he's too injury prone for me to feel safe all year.

I could definitely see Ryan leaving the sens and Lou giving him an offer. But he's from Philly, if he comes it will be because of the offer/opportunity not because he's "coming home".

I saw someone post this a while ago on a different site and thought it was really interesting. I posted it in here, but none of you animals responded. Re: Bobby Ryan coming 'home'

Do people know Bobby Ryan's past? His family changed their last name (it's actually Stevenson) and left Collingswood, New Jersey, a suburb of Philadelphia (where his father was friends with Bobby Clarke) for California because his father beat his wife and was about to be prosecuted for attempted murder. His father jumped bail with the family when Bobby was only 10. Bobby grew up in LA where he played with the junior Kings. What do the NJ Devils mean to him? If he were to ever come here, I doubt it would be because he wants to "come home." People don't like to leave California, especially rich people. I'd expect him to sign with a California team when he gets the chance.

And if you're curious, his father was eventually caught, and he served 5 years in Camden.

Damn. Honestly I don't know if I'd really want us to go hard for Ryan. Always has seemed like the type that can be an all star forward but also disappears for weeks at a time. I have a feeling he's going to sign a big contract this summer and never live up to it.

Yeah, I remember reading an article a while back that talked in depth about the situation. I don't get why devils fans ever thought the devils were his home town team when he's from Cherry Hill.

He's a 60 point player that will be paid at a 90pt players rate. Unless he signed for 5 mil I don't want him.
