The Devils and NHL did not comment to Forbes, but NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told CSN Philly: "To the extent [the report] suggests that [the] league is intending to take over the club, it is inaccurate."

This is the best guesswork I've seen on the Flyers draft board from Flight Plan. It seems like that late season run didn't change anything since they had Morin ranked 6th. If they had taken him ahead of Nurse and Ristolainen people (including me) would have gone nuts, even though we all know if will be at least five years till we can really start evaluating a draft.

2. Jones
3. Drouin
4. Lindholm
5. Barkov
6. Morin
7. Mueller
8. Zadorov
9. Nurse

I was a bit surprised they had Morin ranked that high all along. I'm glad we got him, as it appears he was the man all along. I wouldn't have taken Nurse now in retrospect, Risto was still my first choice. Hagg will be a steal for us.

colliding knee-first into a catcher's shin guards is probly not the best thing for a guy with a degenerative knee condition to do... but whatever

Vanderbeek was probably begging Kovy to leave for KHL.

It has to suck to play for the Devils. Nothing about the area, the fans, or the arena appeal to me.

Who the hell would want to play in Newark?

One of the blanks is Pulock. I'd imagine the other would be Wennberg.

Any truth to the rumor that Gary Bettman is about to proclaim himself, El Presidente por Vida?

But the travesty of the shared Sixers/Devils ownership deal would mean that a portion of the $0.50 I pay for a 76ers ticket on stubhub will help the NJ Devils swipe free agents from the Flyers.

Think about it-- 19,000 tickets @ 0.50 each for 41 home games means that the Devils will get a smooth $389,500 to use to directly compete against Mr. Snider's Flyers.

The horror!

I think the smart vote here is Coburn; has spent the most time here, and has been (generally) good. That said, I voted for Markov.
- jmatchett383

Yeah, me too. A much better player. They should have held onto him.

It's very easy to boycott the sixers, then. I have been doing it unknowingly for the past 20 years.
