Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

There is some scuttlebutt on some of the Devils' social media/boards that we may be on the other side of a Nemec trade, FWIW. I would be shocked if NJ traded him, but, Gretzky was traded, so anything's possible.

Apparently, according to one poster, we tried to trade Anderson for the #2 to pick Nemec. And that we've been offered 1sts for Anderson "many times' and have turned them down. So thus this rumor being floated about by Devils fans now that Nemec is healthy scratched right before the TDL.

Question. What do you guys think if we were to offer Hutson for Nemec? Or ??
Devils don't need Hutson, they have Hughes as their puck carrying D man.

I'm with the Rooster, geeman and GGPX on this one. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'm not convinced Hutson has a career as a regular D man. Maybe sheltered bottom pairing PP specialist. Nemec on the other hand is a bull. Built kinda like Bullion. Although he's got some defensive wrinkles to iron out, he's doing good this year and would really solidify our RD and D overall. Near future RD: Popcorn, Nemec, Maillioux/Barron unless we keep Savard for a bit longer. Then it opens-up playing time on LD for Meth, WiFi and Ghule (Harris/Struble).

But again, I don't know if NJ is entertaining offers. There was some indication for a while now that Nemec is not happy with the Devils. So add that for more fuel for the fire.
 
When did Kessel ever play for the Oilers?

Kessel was a Leaf who the fans derided as fat and lazy. But he never stopped scoring and started winning Cups as soon as he was no longer playing in the Six.

Proof once again that it's not a case of a loser player but rather a loser organization.
well not like Penguins and Showers wouldn't have won if he weren't there

The way you make out, I swear you believe Mario Tremblay and Doug Risebrough are higher ranked than Sittler and McDonald because 5/4-0

Lanny managed to win one (not with the Leafs but against the Habs, at least)

Sittler's entire career was a huge waste of time and talent.

Phil was a huge part of their Cup runs. Lead the team in scoring the first year and was 3rd the second year. 45 pts in 49 games those 2 seasons combined.

yeah I forgot fat Phil played well but weren't they the favourite without him anyway? After all, they had 87
