Im pretty sure him and marty will still do 50 / 50 , since its probably the last season of marty, they won't have him warm the bench all year.

And im pretty sure cory will learn a thing or 2 from the legend

Lou is working to resign Henrique currently
We signed Clowe who basically plays the same roll as Clarkson but for cheaper
Ryder should be playing on second line as a winger
Olesz signed for 1 mill - excellent signing if he can stay healthy

Lookin good for next season

Also Lou signed Travis' brother Darcy - he may play a few games in the NHL but he's still a prospect.

Devils have/had so many family members;
Gionta's
Brodeur's
Zajac's
possibly Parise's ?

lol

Brodeur will probably play like 65/35 games
2-1-2-1 Brodeur-Schneider

im digging the addition of ryder

hope DeBoer can find some good chemistry in the lines

1st: Elias - Zajac - Kovalchuk
4th: Carter - Gionta - Bernier

maybe?:
2nd: Clowe - Henrique - Ryder
3rd: Olesz - Loktionov - Zubrus

hope he finds that proper chemistry in the preseason

Greene - Larsson
Volchenkov - Salvador/Fayne
Tallinder - Harrold

Apparently Clowe and Ryder know each other so they'll make good linemates
Elias & Olesz know each other too but they're both LW'ers hmm



I think the dmen should paired like so:
Greene - Harrold/Fayne (All American)
Tallinder - Larsson / Urbom (All Swedish)
Volchenkov - Salvador / Gelinas / Zidlicky (All Canadian/Russian/Czech)

no particular order

i feel like the devils are always underestimated and they just keep getting better, aside from losing parise :(

Devils are a weird team lately. They seem to fluctuate from bottom 7 to top 7 from year to year.

i never would have guessed they would face the kings the other year in the finals...unreal

Henrik Tallinder -> BUF
Riley Boychuk <- NJD

Frees up some much needed cap space to sign Zidlicky and Henrique? We had 8 vet dmen last season so losing 1 is definitely a good thing - could lose another perhaps + Lou wants to bring up a rookie dmen. Riley is a big body 6'4 220 lb but only 20 y/o. He will play in the minors or 4th line for a few games possibly.

I'm hearing that Lou's going after Brunner who would fit on our roster perfectly

Should bring Joe Whitney up from the Albany Devils - great LW'er - #1 on team in pts and +/- but he's only 5' 6" ... rofl
