I know we don't have anything besides Cory Just Hall, Palmz, Mojo, Henrique, Zacha and one of the most promising prospect pools in the league led by Hischier and McLoed let's be honest Eichel is good but he will never live up to the hype and O'Reilly is good but not a star center
- Devils314



Yeah none of that other than hall matches up to what the Sabres have. Palmieri? Really?

Goal scoring wise that put him in the Evander Kane realm.........

I mean ECHL/ROR/Risto/Sam/Nylander/Studt and I haven't even mentioned K.O/Kane. Handful of others with high-decent upside.

And never above 55 points. He's decent but roughly equivalent to Okposo.

Remove your head from Pegula's incompetent butt and wake up to the world outside of Buffalo. The Devils have a solid core going after these past few drafts, 1 of them being #1 overall pick this year in Hischier. The acquisition of Taylor Hall, Marcus Johannson, Kyle Palmeiri, Cory Schneider to name a few.

Both teams are hovering around mediocre in the standings but the futures are bright. Buffalo just has a sore spot for NJ from what it seems. Not sure why considering we aren't rivals in any way. I've never understood it.

Lol NJ doesn't even register to me. Hiescher is probably gonna be good, but the D is mostly a tire fire, and until proven otherwise there aren't any known centers worth a damn on the roster.

Taylor Hall is good.

Idk, NJ has always been such a boring team. Other than Hall and possibly Hiescher, it's more of the same. Palmieri is fine but unremarkable

O'Reilly Has been in the league for 8 years to expect him to become a star player has long since past

right so other than eichel and o'reilly who exactly outranks him to a point where it'd be silly to mention a guy who score 25+ goals last two years?

Yeah. When talking about why the Sabres are gonna be good, Okposo doesn't figure to me. He's a nice complimentary top 6 guy. The fact that devils fans are excited about palmieri shows how boring that team is

I said star. He's a world cup center for the best team in the world. He's one of the best defensive forwards in the league today. He had better stats than everyone's favorite Bergeron last year
