Hey all well welcome back. I've been Mia over the lockout but also before that. Kind of was Mia end if last season. But with a new season starting i hope to beable to keep this page going. Not much to report but maybe more than every other team.

Henrique injured thats a big blow espcially how exiting he was last season. Hopefully he will come back sooner than later and continue where he left off.

The big news out of NJ is brodeur confirming that as Long as he is healthy he is committed to playing out his 2 yr contract. That is a great thing as we all know the devils goalie pipeline isn't anything amazing. Atleast thats what the critics say. I think we might have some good prospects and we will hae to see what happens.

Frazee- he is in his last leg but his play in 11 AHL games this season is just average so not sure whats going on. Looks like his cut to the throat might have been the end of his career. He is 3-5-3 with 2.15/.918

Wedgewood- some people's pick as the future but in 23 echl games he is 3.08/.900 and 10-10-2 not gonna cut it.

Kinkaid - last summers signing and my pick he in 20 AHL games is 2.38/.918 and 10-7-3 not bad overall. Not sure what and who is on there AHL team so cant tell u if its a world class team.

Just some info on goalies.. But ill leave the real goalie talk to Justin!!!


Other news which i won't talk about now is kovy. All i gotta say is big contract big money noones walking away from that

about to acquire Brodeur in a deal.

Think he can still put up solid numbers? Will he start pretty much all the games, or is he looking at an even split because of his age and the compressed sched?

I will say go for it and get him. Yes his game isn't the same as 3 yrs ago but then again the devils have gone through a big transition over the same time span. I read on fire and ice that een last yr they were giving hedberg more starts and it might be the same this yr but dont forget hedberg is also 39. Brodeur is old school goalie and feeds of action and game play. He is better when he plays more then when he rests. I'd say we will probably see a 70/30 split for this season. But I can't promise u that just what i see. Come next yr it might be different if no trades happen they might bring kinkaid up and let him feed and learn from brodeur but this season i say brodeur is still the go to guy. And yes i think and hope his numbers will be good not great but good.

Nice. I landed Iginla and Brodeur for Lucic and Holtby as I make a run this year.

Thanks

Hey, newper114, what are your thoughts on Zajac this season and going forward, both with regard to his health and Parise's departure?

Interestig move. Hope u win bc you are giving up alot in holtby and lucic. But for the win smart move. Today brodeur said he wants to play alot not all the games like he used to but enough. They have 9 or 10 b2b so you can count on hedberg playing those. Probably take away a few other starts but not too many i see brodeur in 30+ games

Gotta be honest i have no idea lol. Gonna be a very different look on that top line without parise. Parise was the sound offense dman and zajac was a close second. They could use him with kovy as the dman to protect kovy flying all over the place or let him run wild as well.

I dont know yet who the 3rd person in the line will be there are so many options. They could bring Elias in on the lw as we know Elias can be a ppg guy if needed even being older. Or they can use clarkson for tuffness, or one of the youngsters. Gonna be interestig also with henrique out this will change.

For now I'd assume he will play with kovy, will be a 60-70 point guy prorated for a full season. High face off wins average +-. Very little PIMs. He is a super player and i think he will do just fine without parise. Ill know more on lineups as this week goes along but if anything is like last year lines will constantly be juggled.
