Parise and Suter are two slightly overrated players capitalizing on being the only thing shaking on a weak ass FA market .
Parise is a glorified grinder. Useless past the circles or in the slot unless its on a breakaway or PS. he'll never touch 90pts again. He's a 30G,60-70P LW. Period. Is that worth $80M? Nope. Next FA class will be better and depending on the CBA it may yield a buyers market.

Parise's production cab easily be replaced. Easily.

Its the whole "leadership" angle that's tough to replace. But Parise quit in the Finals on this team. He got out produced by a guy with a blown disk who's supposedly a soft weak Russian who doesn't care and cherry picks etc etc etc. I've heard all the negatives about Kovy for years now. And know what? He still showed up. Still out produced Zach. Still took over and won a series vs Philly. What did Zach do? Had 2 good games all playoffs. Has consistently trended downward. Wanted to go home and get married in a cock-ring ceremony with his lover Suter so his daddy JP and his fiancée can run his career? Peace out you wussy-whipped money whore. I hope Parise never sniffs the SC. NJ has dealt with the departure of stars plenty of times before. Yet, as much as haters hate, guess who still makes the playoffs? Guess who still has a shot?

The New Jersey Mother(frank)ing Devils!!!

I'm a Devils fan period. That means Zach Parise is now the enemy. I don't cheer for players on other teams. They all play for the same prize. (frank) #9!

Of course! Top line forwards are available this offseason by the poop load. They have nothing to worry about.

NEW JERSEY ALL THE WAY!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

*spafs*

Leopold was our best defenseman last year. IMO
- Powerslave

agreed, sekera has been a tad bit better the last two years and the deer in the headlight look has been seen less often

I would still like to see him get more time on the second team pp to get more confidence
- homiedclown

The team's record when Ehrhoff was in the lineup versus when he wasn't begs to differ.
- buffalofan19

I disagree. I think minus the first month of the season, Ehrhoff was our best D man. When he was out of the lineup, we were a much different team. That says something.

lets use facts! this was posted before: http://hfboards.hockeysfu.../showthread.php?t=1195891

EVEN STRENGTH

Quality of Competition
1. Regehr +0.065
2. Sekera +0.038
3. Weber +0.002
4. Ehrhoff -0.004
5. Myers -0.013
6. Leopold -0.023

Goals Against per 60 on ice
1. Myers 1.97
2. Regehr 2.01
3. Sekera 2.19
4. Leopold 2.40
5. Ehrhoff 2.70
6. Weber 2.81

What did we learn?
- Regehr and Sekera faced toughest competition and both performed very well in that role defensively
- Weber needs to be protected from tougher competition
- Myers was able to dominate defensively against weaker competition
- Leopold and Ehrhoff are not very good defensively, are given freedom to take more chances

Quality of Teammate
1. Ehrhoff +0.081
2. Weber +0.053
3. Regehr -0.008
4. Myers -0.013
5. Sekera -0.053
6. Leopold -0.056

1. Ehrhoff 2.85
2. Leopold 2.62
3. Sekera 2.51
4. Myers 2.47
5. Regehr 1.50
6. Weber 1.37

What did we learn?
- Ehrhoff gets a lot of ice with the scoring forwards
- Sekera does not get such ice time, and yet still produces offensively at a similar rate to Myers and Leopold
- Regehr and Weber are terrible offensively.

+/- On ice per 60
1. Myers +0.51
2. Sekera +0.32
3. Leopold +0.22
4. Ehrhoff +0.15
5. Regehr -0.52
6. Weber -1.44

What did we learn?
- Myers is #1, but has weaker competition and better linemates
- Sekera is #2, while having stronger competition and weaker linemates
- Leopold and Ehrhoff overcome their weaknesses defensively, with their strengths offensively. The need to continue to avoid strong matchups
- Weber is bad
- Regehr's play is acceptable, even though the end result is a negative. We know he faces the best competition and has no abilities outside his own zone.

+/- Off ice per 60
1. Sekera -0.03
2. Leopold -0.02
3. Myers +0.03
4. Weber +0.28
5. Ehrhoff +0.35

2. Ehrhoff -3.02
3. Weber -1.02
4. Leopold -0.63
5. Myers -0.03
6. Regehr +3.03

What did we learn?
- Even though Sekera faces some of the top matchups, he still has the best differential between his On ice/Off ice numbers. The Sabres are at their absolute best when Sekera is on the ice....Why? Because he keeps the opponent out of our zone, and we possess the puck MORE when he is on the ice then any other defensemen. We limit shot attempts the most when he is on the ice. We create the most shot attemtps for ourselves when he is on the ice. And he does all of that with some of the weaker linemates on the team...

the last time I checked, you can't get scored on when you have the puck (all due respect to Mike Ryan and Geoff Sanderson)

Off Zone Starts
1. Ehrhoff
2. Leopold
3. Myers
4. Sekera
5. Weber
6. Regehr

Off Zone Finish
1. Sekera
2. Ehrhoff
3. Leopold
4. Myers
5. Regehr
6. Weber

Sekera doesn't get the benefit of top offensive zone starts, yet finishes there the most... one of the most important stats you don't notice IMO

interesting stats:
1. Sekera, while being a distant 4th in pts per 60... he does happen to be 2nd in secondary assists per 60... anyone want to venture a guess why?
2. Only defensemen with more penalties drawn, then penalties taken

POWER PLAY

Goals For per 60 of PP

--------------------------

My overall ranking of these 6 defensemen based on the entirety of their performance taken into account with their role is as follows.


1. Sekera (By a mile)

2-5 the other others

6. Weber (the way lindy uses his pairs, there is no where to hide him)

I came across an interesting article about Doan. Thought I might share it here...


Coyotes' Doan Fears Buffalo 'Stalker-Blogger'

It was as if things couldn't get worse.

Phoenix Coyotes' star winger and highly sought-after UFA Shane Doan had just checked his email when he gasped for breath.

"Another one," he said. "Jesus - will this guy ever stop?"

The hard-hitting hockey player is no stranger to brawls on the ice and has a reputation around the NHL as one of the game's toughest players, but when it comes to stalker bloggers, "I just get scared - this is something a referee won't come in and break-up," Doan said.

"I mean, I haven't even talked to (Buffalo Sabres General Manager) Darcy Regier yet - I think he sent a fax, but he definitely didn't call," Doan said as he clutched a blankie and looked side-to-side anxiously. "But this blogger guy - Garf or something - has already written 12,340 blogs about me. I mean, I'm half expecting this hoser to start writing about what floss I use and how old I was when I stopped wetting the bed."

"Not that I ever wet the bed," Doan added. "But this guy might write something like that, know what I mean?"

When asked if Doan would consider joining the Sabres despite blogger eyes perpetually staring at him, the current captain of the Coyotes expressed reservation.

"You have to understand that I've been playing in Phoenix for years and over there, the closest to a hockey blogger they have is Steve Nash when he texts his girlfriend," Doan said. "There's no hockey and no blogging involved, but he's Canadian and he's typing - so that's the closest we have to a hockey blogger. And now he's in LA, so there's that."

Not being stalked by obsessive bloggers was a positive quality, according to Doan.

"There's nothing wrong with anonymity," Doan said. "I can walk around Phoenix with my jersey on and the only person who will recognize me is maybe a lost, drunk Canadian tourist. But if this blogger is any indication of what Buffalo fans are like, I'm imagining an entire city of lost, drunk Canadian tourists who follow me home, camp in my front yard, and steal my dog's poop for souvenirs."

Doan added: "You know what? As a matter of fact, there was a guy who did that last year - and I think the cops said his name was Garf or whatever and he was from somewhere near Buffalo."

The rugged winger immediately got on his phone and called his agent to instruct him to never, ever schedule a meeting with anybody from Buffalo. Ever.

Went to the dogs' game today. The place was packed.




Took a spot in the stands and began to chat with two men, one of which happened to be an ex-scout for the Mooseheads. It's when you go to those events that you see how hockey is loved and how a lot of people know their hockey.

I was really impressed by that Farnham guy. Small guy, but he's a speedster, he works hard and he doesn't back down from anyone. Hope they tend him a two-way(AHL/ECHL) offer.

Beaulieu had a pretty average game, still almost scored on the PP, but had two bad penalties. Displayed his skills and his good skating ability but the guys were fore-checking hard and he's not used yet to the speed of the level, you can see it. He needs to take better decisions, on one play he tried to deke around a guy instead of just doing an 'over' to his partner. But that will come with maturity and that's why he's going to start in the AHL.

Pretty good game for Tinordi who seems to be very hard to play against 1v1. He made a very long pass to send Lefebvre on a breakaway, showed great vision there. Didn't make many errors during the game, he was paired with smaller Nic Gagné who didn't look out of place either. Tinordi will need to make his plays faster as the pressure comes quick at the Pro level.

Gallagher was buzzing almost every shift, especially when he was playing with Bournival, he's very good at opening himself to passing lanes in the slot and is always in the face of the goaltender.

Bournival did good, while not great, didn't make many mistakes, saw him win a 3v1 battle along the boards, very feisty and his footspeed will be amongst the best on the Dogs' team.

Berger looks faster than last year but he didn't show much offensively, laid a good hit on St-Denis but beside that a quiet game for the Swiss.

I liked Chaput, did lots of good plays, he's talented and was dangerous on many occasions, I think he has his spot on the team.

Fortier did score, but he wasn't very dominant. Expected more from him, he did the good plays and was flawless defensively but I want more out of him offensively, maybe it's time to say farewell to Olivier.

Geoffrion got connected by Owuya in the center zone and score from a slapper, he's a good AHLer and when matched with Palushaj and Leblanc they were dangerous. I still don't think he will amount to more than an injury call-up.

Hagel fought against Schultz and he did farely well, expected him to look way worse than that. I'm not sure about him, if he has his spot or not. Didn't look bad or good.

Now here's one guy that is impressive, Patrick Holland. Speed, smarts, seems like he's always where the puck will end at. He did good on both sides of the ice, I'm looking forward to see him play this year.

Lefebvre displayed his speed on a few occasions and was robbed by Desjardins on a breakaway.

Leblanc will have a great year in the AHL and looked stronger and faster than last year. Made smart plays as advertised and had a few chances offensively.

Macaulay doesn't have that split second yet but he's big and laid a few good hits. Might be worth giving him a contract.

Nattinen scored a beautiful goal 3 seconds before the end of the game, a snapshot from the slot top shelf. He looks more confident on the ice and should be a top6 forward for the Dogs.

I didn't notice Ouellet much, did he even play?

Palushaj seemed way too fast and strong for this level of hockey, but with him it's not whether or not he can dominate against try-outs and prospects but it's if he can make the next step which is the NHL, he looked bigger than last year, but I'm eager to see him against NHL players.

Quailer looked good, jumped on a rebound to score, and those are the kind of goals he'll need to score if he ever wants to make the NHL. With his frame he has to go in front of the net. His skating speed looked fine, I think it won't be a very hard period of adjustment for Steven.

Small Randford did good today, definitely could receive a try-out by the end of the year with the Dogs.

Like the way Torquato plays the game and thinks it, interesting invite from the management.

Really disappointed by Avtsin and Schultz who were pretty invisible throughout the game.

Didn't really notice Stejskal.

Pateryn did good with Beaulieu, which could eventually become a pair for the Dogs, safe, physical.

St-Denis was solid, flawless.

Owuya was physical and didn't look out of place, he's not the fastest skater though and reacts slowly.

Liked both Boutet and Corbin, nice to see the organization invite big bodies.

It's not a homer statement.

Vanek is indeed better then anyone on the Kings.

If I would take Vanek over Kovy 100 times out of 100 I would certainly take him over anyone on the Kings.
