I'm more excited to see how Severson plays. He put up damn good numbers last year.

It would be cool if the Devils end up scoring Brunner. He'd definitely give our forwards a lot more "skill"; they need it from the lack of skill from some of our other brash forward checkers.

I'm glad the team is reverting to the puck possession style they played under Sutter rather than the heavy forecheck, but that heavy forecheck served the Devils so well in that playoff run.

They might make the playoffs with this team (if it includes Brunner), but I foresee them struggling with on-ice leadership unless Henrique is ready to step up into that role.

I feel like the current line-up would categorize them as a "tricky" team. One of those teams who if you are an opponent, while you may have a better roster and record, you can't assume a win otherwise you'll pay the price. Like Florida was two seasons ago.

Either way, the Devils roster never impresses anyone any year, so go figure.

Brunner could honestly turn this team into like a 10th placed team into a playoff team.
Cant believe he went unsigned... he should 100% make the team if he does well

good luck in making the playoffs, seriously. I hope NJ can prove all those ignorant NYI fans wrong about you guys being a bottom feeder, and actually beating out the Isles

(frank) the Isles fans, thats all.

I like the defensive pairings.. not sure about the forward lines though.

Olesz on the first line? No Tedenby? Boucher on the 4th line?

Donde esta Henrique? Also Boucher on a line with Barch makes me wonder if DeBoer is trolling.

zidlcicky violently skates back-first into a wall in the offensive zone and is immediately way out of position when it come back to our own end. I see he worked on his game a lot this summer...

Hopefully Merrill forces his way on to the team. Zid has been dreadful so far.

This game has digressed fast. I think Cory is the starting goalie after this performance.
