OT: NJ Devils 2024-2025 Thread

To make the playoffs.

You’re a hockey fan - you know once playoffs start - it’s a whole new season and anyone has a chance.

Devils won’t give up that chance.
I get its one game but this team is abysmal. Pretending they have a shot at anything is laughable. Shouldve been sellers
 
There were plenty of guys available, like O'Reilly, Schenn, or Boeser. Fitz/ ownership did the same thing last year. Not to mention a 2nd for a 3rd pair defenseman. Be happy your a Rangers fan. Fitz called about Rantenan and Petterson, neither player I would want. Although not as good as a few years ago we still had potentially Nemec, Mercer, Casey, future 1st round picks, and other early round picks for actual help. Look at what other GMs did, the Devils should have done better.
Zero of the guys u mentioned got moved. There GMs said it would take a massive overpayment to move Schenn or Oreilly. Both turned down Toronto
 
Just examples during another great game. There were many more. For example I would rather have Tanev than pay that price for BD. Not to mention Norris for a 4th.
Norris was part of the cozens trade . What you talking about. NJ needed a D with Siegs out and Hamilton out .

The Devils get an F, this was a terrible job. For what we paid I would have rather seen Hatakka. This team needed to get Palat and Tatar out of the top 6, and Dowling out of the lineup, as well as a veteran D man. Can't win if you can't score more than 1.

Dude you’re all over the place . Norris for a 4th . Lie . Complaining about BD and then saying we need a veteran D in the next post 😂😂😂. Hatakka had major shoulder surgery and hasn’t played . Glass is gonna replace Dowling once he gets to NJ . You keep talking about what ifs .

The price paid for the D is annoying. I'm not a fan of what was done, no disconnect, we just see it differently. I now have lost faith in us winning because of bad, cheap ownership. I hope I'm wrong, but doubt it.
 
I wish Fitz gave up the 2nd for Nyqyist and/ or got in on Sturm for example.
Nyquist sturm tanev glass are all similar bottom 6 fodder with no real scoring ability . Glass is at least a 6’3 center that’s RFA after the season. There’s no big difference in any of these guys

Luke Schenn was traded for a second and a 4th. Soucy went for a 3rd . BD was a second with retention . Those are the going rates for veteran dmsn

I’m just as disappointed as everyone else bc they didn’t take a big swing . But if there’s no realistic big swings to make how can you be mad ?

Retention why?... to save our cheap ass owners money. Sprong for instance has been in the AHL lol. Nico has been here for 8 years, 2 playoffs only 1 series win. Oh but the future bright. No these owners don't care about winning.

Very bad. Agree…lol.

I’ll say again - every team has a shot in the playoffs,

Do I think they have a legitimate shot? Nope. But crazier things have happened. Sneak in and see what happens,

They weren’t gonna sell. Selling says to Meier, Luke, Bratt, Hischier that there’s no faith in them. Sets a terrible precedent.

As a Ranger fan I can understand Devils management not wanting to make a big commitment to these playoffs with Hughes out.

Still, the path for the Devils if they shored things up appeared to be a weakened Hurricanes team followed by a Caps team that is good but nowhere near unbeatable.

It seems like they sure wanted to, they just failed. And that’s 1000% on Fitz.

Cotter a healthy scratch and Allen starting over Marky today. This only makes sense to me if your tanking.

Not for nothing, did you see what Fabien Zetterlund was traded for, what a damn joke.
