OT: 2022-23 NHL thread….Devils & Rangers & Islanders
- Thread starter zappaa
- Start date
Looks like we get Kane after 5 pm today!!!
Vesey to the 4th line with Goodrow and Motte….that’s pretty good.
The Tank unfortunately playing like a slow old German Tiger Tank.
He’s doing nothing for that line in any zone
Trochek living his dream, the man is going to center Panarin and Kane….he must be going insane over it.
It’s like playing center field between Winfield and Joe Di’Maggio

As I said when he was acquired…that’s how Tarasenko has been all year. Not the player he once was, nor obviously is Kane. But Kane shoujd have a bigger impact for sure.
Yes Kane can still carry and protect the puck like a Dennis Savard, he will definitely be impactful
Agree.
The rangers issue is defense though and Kane provides very little. We will see how this trade when’s out.
Looking that way now!
Have to hope playoff hockey and the way the game is played will ignite Tank.
Here’s the thing Mike, if we play the Devils in the 1st round, their speed and the way they move will leave Tarasenko in the dust
One thousand percent.
With Meier I give the edge to Devils. Not upgrading their D won’t help the Rangers
It's going to be interesting how the Rangers handle this with Kane coming on and the cap because even so Miller is suspended without pay, it still counts against the cap.
Fine line… obviously the best defense is playing in the other teams zone, and no one expects Kane to be a shot blocking, back checking winger.
Here’s the fine line, helping on the break out and getting through the neutral zone.
We do way to much puck reversal, I need Kane to improve the breakout with speed in the proper friggen direction, not backwards…lol
.
That's a nothing burger. Keeping their top prospects was the most important thing and they did.
Lol
Nhl def has collusion
Only A 2nd and a 4th for Kane
Also a 3rd that they gave to Arizona for retaining salary.
It’s fine.
Our first two pairing are great. We should be trading for a 3rd pairing guy by the deadline.
Tied for the third lowest goals allowed and the second best goal differential in the league. A third pairing defensemen that can push Bahl and Smith out of the lineup would be a nice addition, but the defense certainly doesn't need an overhaul.
Starting to feel like the West is going to be far better rested by the Finals.
Bettman's parity is lacking . . .or is it parody.
There's not really much Bettman can do about parity between conferences, unless you want him to redraw the divisions again. These things ebb and flow, sometimes the West is better, right now the East is.
Then can’t you say 29 other teams defense is “lacking” since the Devils have the 3rd best in the league?
Just confused by what you meant my lacking.
I certainly wasn’t the only one as another poster also disagrees it’s “lacking”.
Think it was your post that was confusing, but you seem to agree we just need a 3rd pairing D. So we agree and no confusion here
Eh there certainly is a disparity but there is more parity in the NHL, and the entry draft makes for fluctuations in the balance of power so it's not the same handful of teams always at the top.Same could be about the B1G.
A friend of mine just sent this great description of the recent trades and looming playoff race: "The East is preparing for a cannibalistic trench war and the West is fingerpainting."
I missed something...why does a 3 game suspension have any salary cap implications?
I could be wrong but with Lindgren out and Miller suspended, don't they need to call someone up from Hartford?
If you’ve watched them all season it is obvious what spot is lacking. 6th defenseman
If that's all you're lacking, you're pretty much in great shape.
Agreed. Their 6th defenseman is lacking.
I see where you're going now. It's about the roster moves this late in the season. Danke.
Harrington has been claimed by the Ducks.
While Bahl has been playing better lately, I do expect the Devils to get a defenseman or 2. It is nice getting Timo and still having so many tradable assets.
Personally I would like TVR and Tom Wilson.
