@TheBrattPack63 The thing is that I don’t think Jack Hughes alone changes this outcome tonight.. but losing Hughes compounded with Hamilton and Siegenthaler is just to much right now
@ProducerDrew_ Also - if you think everyone is overpaying then that should be your first indication that it’s not an overpay and that’s quite literally the market
@TheBrattPack63 These are the same people who want Fitzy to make a “big splash” can you imagine their reactions when they see what it would take to acquire one of the big dogs?? These people need a reality check on how the trade deadline works
@TheBrattPack63 Fact of the matter is that this team is still good enough to make the playoffs and SHOULD make the playoffs even as things stand today.. not sure what the ceiling in the playoffs is but make no mistake it would be a failure if they miss even with the injuries
@daniel_amoia Two games against CBJ over next two weeks. This Devils core is still good enough to make the playoffs. After that who knows but they still should not miss.
@JamesNicholsNHL Any chance Lou tries do Brock Nelson a solid and keep him in the area near his family by trading him to the Devils? Also with the hope he just re-signs with them?
@pitchforkedpuck I’m sick to my stomach this comeback win would have been so huge for this group you saw how they reacted when they tied it just a gut punch
@daniel_amoia And I believe this is the case so primary focus is really on the Rangers as opposed to worrying about these non metro teams possibly sneaking into wildcard
@daniel_amoia Might be a dumb question but if a non-metro wildcard team has more points than the devils and the devils are still top 3 in the metro they are still in right?
@pitchforkedpuck I feel like we are seeing a lot of the “hero ball” plays we’ve been seeing all season and also he just can’t hang with the physicality which is a little worrisome for playoffs.. but obviously love him and wouldn’t trade him for the world
