We were smart today. Not like we had a choice tho

I've been looking at this way, we signed Richards to a 1 year deal worth 6.6...next year we say goodbye to him and we bring in two twins from Vancouver. Hank is happy and signs an 8 year deal...we bring one more behemoth of a winger who can shoot dah puck and score dah goal...next thing you know we're in finals vs St. Louis

Theyre all free agents hahaha...

Only forwards we have on contract after this year are Nash and Dorsett.. assuming a Richards buyout.

Very good signing by them. Might have preferred him to Moore, especially since he played last year and knows AV's system well.

Devils have signed Michael Ryder.

(frank)

kovalchuk - zajac - ryder
zubrus - henrique - elias

very solid top 6. decent defense. great goalie. one of the top 4th lines in the league. if they get a 3rd line...then damn.

i think we'll be okay. we were a mess last season from start to finish. we're a much better team than what we looked like last season.

let's not forget we also made it to the 2nd round. it's not like we missed the playoffs or got swept in round 1.

I thought uncle Lou overpaid paid for Clowe, but he's done a good job with the team. They will be right there again this year, as will the Islanders. Maybe there can be another lockout.
