I think Henrique could potentially have a killer season this year, it does depend on his line mates though of course. You can feed a guy beautiful set up passes and if they can't capitalize it is not reflected in your stats. I wish there was a stat for 'should have been goals' missed open net opportunities, etc to highlight when some are doing their jobs and others are not. Many have brought up Henrique-Elias-Havlat. If Havlat can stay healthy it could be a great line and a chance for Henrique to shine. Time will tell.

Damn I wish the season was here allready, almost there... at this point I'm like a recovering heroin addict in line at the methadone clinic twiching for my hockey fix.

Completely agree and feel the same and the fact Bernier and Gionta were brought back first is salt in the wound. Carter is the workmanlike Devil they always chirp about and they are leaving him high and dry. The Devils are so closed lipped about everything I am sure there is more than we know as far as why, ie Brunner or Ryder trade that got the kabash at the last minute or Havlat as an unplanned deal, whatever but Carter is a great Devil and responsible for 70% of the synergy of CBGB line (IMO.)

An article (with pics) about the Devils dancers would be cool.

22 days until preseason, 40 until opening night @ the pumpkin suits!

I have been trying to pay attention to quennville as a lot of teams have started pre season and in fact a bunch of teams have already played multiple pre season games but Brandon doesn't have their first pre season game till the fifth which sucks

Absolutely Carter is the only reason that line does somewhat well. Last year they where lost until he came back from injury.

The situation with Carter is nothing new.
Lou has jerked guys around before.
He still has to move some FWs.

There seem to be quite a few teams in the same boat so I don't think it will be that easy. He also said he wanted sykora back and never signed him again

Good point.

Get whatever you can at this point, but I think logically he'll wait until after training camp to see who earns a spot.

Then again, Lou/DeBoner love giving ice time to players who don't earn it so who knows.
