I could see him with the Devils, but I suppose I'm not really sure there's room. As of now, the Devils have these forwards signed (or RFA's who they will sign) and likely to play (obviously they're going to make additions): Hall Henrique Zajac Palmieri Cammalleri Smith-Pelley Zacha Noesen Wood I would imagine Hischier is expected to make the team out of camp and will get a healthy role with the team immediately. Then there's guys like McLeod, Bastian, Blandisi, Lappin, Pietela, etc. who will get strong looks in camp to play every day. So it will probably be something like this: Hall-Hischier-Henrique Palmieri-Zajac-Cammalleri Wood-Zacha-UFA/McLeod/young dude SmithPelley-UFA-Noesen Maybe you try Yakupov with Palms/Zajac on the second line and see if he sticks? The problem is that he's trash defensively so he's either making your top six or getting healthy scratched.

The Devils will probably outbid almost everyone for Shattenkirk. They have tons of cap room and have an embarrassingly awful defense. I suppose the only enticements they could give him is that he is from the area and he will be "the guy" for them. But somehow I feel like he will want to take a little less to play for a serious contender and maybe not have to go night after night playing alongside Ben Lovejoy or Mirco Mueller.

Devils are also buying out Smith-Pelley. They are going full tank. $27.6m in cap space now.

Zajac/Hall/Henrique/Hischier/Johansson/Palmieri is a pretty nice top six if Hisch comes out swinging.

So the Devils still really need to add another winger to play in the top nine. As of now, lines look something like this: Hall-Hischier-Henrique Johansson-Zajac-Palmieri UFA-Zacha-Wood Then the fourth should be Brian Boyle with some rotation of Quenneville/Blandisi/UFA. They will at least be interesting to watch if Schneider has a rebound year. That defense is still a wreck and I'd hope they can sign and trade Kovalchuk to get a top four guy. So it could be something like: Greene-Severson ???-Santini Mueller-Lovejoy I dunno. They're a year or two away from contending but I like how patient Shero is being and the trades he's making.

Hockey goons, my band is about to embark on a 10-week tour of US/Canada. We tour extensively quite often, we're a duo of brothers. I play drums, he plays guitar/loops, we work with the engineer of The Melvins. Mix of heavy rock and a sort of cinematic post-rock I suppose. Come say hi, mainly because I've never met any of you in real life and have been posting here for a long while. http://www.jerkagram.com/tour We're going almost everywhere, and if you live in a major non-Alberta Canadian city, we will be playing it. *end shameless promotion*

Infidel Castro posted:And yet you choose Madison over Milwaukee. The booking process isn't necessarily choosing somewhere to play. There are a lot of variables which go into choosing the best show and a big part of that is what is available on that day and which bands can play it. We've played Milwaukee plenty but it didn't come together this time so we went to Madison. Brodeurs Nanny fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Aug 18, 2017 |

goldrush posted:I listened to your music on your website, I liked it. But I won't come to your show because you're only playing Vancouver and not Victoria so SCREW YOU PAL, we're way better than Bellingham, Olympia or Tacoma We planned on Victoria and almost had a show there but it fell through. I badly wanna go there. Not playing there was not by choice.

Chad Sexington posted:I wouldn't count on it given that their D is Andy Greene, Damon Severson and some stacks of driftwood. The forwards really aren't too bad now but losing Zajac is brutal and means it'll actually be pretty bad come to think of it. Hall-Hischier-Henrique is gonna be fun to watch and if Schneider regains form they should be about where they were last year maybe better, but their defense has like 4 holes in it. Ben Lovejoy-John Moore was getting 20 minutes as a pairing last season and they didn't add anyone to supplant them on the depth chart.

Chad Sexington posted:Is the consensus that Nico is going to get serious playing time out of the gate? I like the kid, but I wouldn't expect him to be able to handle top-line defensive matchups. They're definitely throwing him into a serious role. As you mentioned they have a terrible offense and no center options for the top six with Zajac gone (Henrique is better on the wing). And he's a first overall, you gotta see what he's made of.

corn on the cop posted:The jury's still out on his current NHL-readiness but talent wise he's closer to Ryan Pulock than Charlie McAvoy. He's flashed in the prospect tournament which is what he should be doing. Nice. I am a big fan of Pulock, and the Devils defense is so bad that he should be able to make the third pairing.
