and in what way are devils relevant?
all their star players leave that franchise, kovalchuk thought the team was so bad he even voided his contract and left for another league
schneider isn't a proven starter
devils prospect pool is pathethic and you lack any top position players. larsson won't be a #1, he won't develop in NJ
for devils to be relevant, they need to get a new goaltender, a whole top pairing + a top line. elias might be decent now, but he won't last long enough to be relevant when the rest of the team is relevant
devils is stuck in a pathethic attempt of a rebuild mode where they refuse to go full rebuild but instead going to end up being a tweener for many years
and you call out habs, panthers and oilers fans for talking shit? panther haven't had any success, but i know the situation my team is in, you don't.
habs have been in the SCF more years than your team has been in new jersey, how does that feel?
oilers have won more cups, have a better team and have bred more talent than devils have
> 'all their star players leave'
- Parise's contract expired; wanted to go home (would've happened had he been anywhere else)
- Clarkson's (if you consider him a star player) contract expired; wanted to go home (would've happened had he been anywhere else)
- Kovalchuk wanted to go home which he's stated for years (would've happened had he been anywhere else)
- Elias is not a star player although he leads our franchise in points and led last season in points - l0l ok
- Zajac is a great 1C, and was one of the best faceoff men last season even though overall he had a bad year - guess he's not a star huh? fuck logic
- Brodeur... don't even have to go there ROFL
> 'prospect pool is pathetic' like 7 players in the minors are projected to be ready to play in the NHL come October 'pathetic' ROFL
> 'need to get a new goaltender'
- ROFL... Schneider ? ? ? ? ? ? Better than Habs/Oilers/Panthers goalies as of right now and is still pretty young - will learn even more under the vet marty. He beat all of their goalies in Sv% and GAA over his career.
- Brodeur is still a top 15 goalie at his age
> 'stuck in pathetic attempt of a rebuild'
- uhm.. we went to the finals a year ago.. aside from three players moving, not much has changed - if anything the team is better now with talent spread out as opposed to in just 2 players
- Sure, I'm not denying that moves like that hurt the team, but Lou has shown and continues to show how good of a GM he is and the moves he makes are genius 99% of the time
> habs won a majority of their cups when there were 10 or even 6 teams.. Devils have won all of theirs when there were 30 I believe. Oilers haven't been relevant since 2006. Panthers haven't been relevant since 1996 (want to say never been relevant tbh..). Habs haven't been relevant since '93. I don't see where you're going here. Fighting a big up hill battle.
- The only way I could see you or anyone else here justifiably talking shit about the Devils are if they are a Blackhawks/Red Wings/Penguins and maybe a Bruins fan.. Panthers are the most laughable franchise in hockey... or even sports, so I wouldn't even go there
> 'Oilers have bred more talent'.. literally laughed out loud on that one.
tl;dr I find your ignorance humorous
