Todd Cordell: Islanders 2, Devils 1: Quality start from Schneider wasted in loss

I caught some of the game and Cory seemed confident and quick.
Bratt's playmaking is awesome and that toe drag into the shot was one smooth motion. Thats raw talent.

I just hope all this losing doesnt F*up the kids' morale.

We dont want to end up like the Oilanders.

Was pulling for Corey to get the W. He played well. Hopefully he is turning the corner

What injury did Hall sustain? He has been out for a while now.

Don't even think it's public. Was listed as day-to-day around Christmas and still out.

just crossing my nuts the top 3 in this draft, or whoever Jersey picks, actually ends up being a top tier 80pt player. Hischier is good, and young, so it remains to be seen.. but it would be nice to have a Tavares-level guy.

Well it's clear this season is a complete loss so it would be helpful to get a good asset out of the draft. We are in a good position right now and selling assets would only help. I'd sure move Mojo if a strong offer came along. I think he's a good complimentary player for a contender.

Nico will def be an 80pt guy. He hasnt slumped in his second yr which is HUUUGE. Hes gonna be our Datysuk.

Nothings a guarantee, but there is no reason to think that Hughes and Kakko won't be the types of prospects that immediately jump into the NHL, and there's no reason to think Byram and Broberg won't be top 4 NHL defensemen within a year or two of the draft.

Remember the 2016 NHL draft was billed as lacking top end talent. I think Devils, Flyers and Stars fans are pretty damn happy with what they got at the top of that draft.

Kakko is the one.

Defence never been the same since they traded larrson. Hall seems to always get hurt. Same happened in edmonton.

Wood on IR. Devils call up Lappin and Murphy. I’m interested to see Murphy, but what is it going to take to get a fair look at McLeod in the NHL. He got called up for one game and got 5 minutes of ice time. poop even Bastian got a better look.

He's a bust and they know it.

We are so doomed, and of course now with Kakko/Hughes on the line Corey decides to play like he belongs in the NHL. He just couldn’t wait until next year.

Is McLeods situation a waiver thing or is he exempt?

Don't worry, Gabriel will punch his way to more penalties since he's going to play the rest of the year.

Still exempt. Crazy thing is if you look at their non-roster players, almost all of them are so young or have so little service time almost everyone is waivers exempt.

So glad we are getting extended looks at Gabriel and Rooney while McLeod, Q, Speers and Bastian waste away in that black hole in Binghamton.
