Have Marty move up to LW, he can play the point on the PP too. Cory will play in goal. Marty can put up numbers if he takes those pads off.

That would be funny, if the Devils didn't already have an anemic offense with the Defector!

It's not really defecting when he is he leaving to go back to his home country.

Can't wait to see what massive story the Post decides to fabricate about the Devils finances from this whole debacle. My guess is something about Kovy being mad that the Devils couldn't pay him all of his salary.
- rmdevil313


we'll talk about that when the story is written!

I'm just messing with ya, we agreed to disagree and I wasn't bringing it up again lol

Well you still think we have financial problems so anything you say is basically ignored.

Stopped at New York Post reported 4 days ago. If we were so strapped why did we add any salary at all this off season? Seems to me we could of shed a lot of space. Explain that? Better yet send me a link explaining it please.

All based on an NY post report and a bankers estimate who is in no way connected to the NHL, team, or lenders. In short, TG proved the report "bullpoop." If we were heading to any sort of bankruptcy court, we wouldn't be adding salary. If JvB payed over 100 million that we know of since the debt was at 230, and since had the rest refinanced, and it grew back to 230 million in a matter of months, he has the worst deal I've ever seen by a mile.

He completely mishandled Grigorenko as well. You can argue that he shouldn't have been in the NHL in the first place but as long as he was there he should have played. Having him in the press box every other game was an awful choice for a kid like that.

Why would you play a kid that isn't ready?

Its all part of JvB's master plan. Have the team look as unattractive as possible right before he sells a minority or possible majority stake to Oren Koules and Len Barrie.

Of course they were, first 2 years of his contract were 6 million in cash... even if he KNEW that Kovy was going to leave, he still saying, ok... lets low ball the first 2 years and if he decides to leave, it wont hurt too bad.
- aecliptic



Did he not want a long term 100 mill contract?
