I could be wrong but wasn't Todd Bertuzzi's dad the arbitraitor?

He can't play with the pack for another 2 or 3 years?

I really think he will be in the NHL by then anyway. Guys got great talent, the only reason he wasn't a top 5 pick this year was a lack of commitment and conditioning. But if you believe what is being said about him he took his body fat down from 19% to 12% in a little over a year while staying above 220 lbs.

He was a steal at 81.

I think it was his uncle

it's the ultimate "what if" scenario

if the trade happens, it changes every dynamic about the 1994 Rangers and maybe they never win it

but, if you look at how good Lindros was the first 6 or 7 years of his career, having Messier, Leetch, Lindros and Richter as the core of the team would have been something

they probably don't trade Zubov, because the whole reason they traded Zubov in the first place was because he was afraid to take a hit from Lindros

Last night NHL network had a feature on the Lindros trade. I had no idea that the Rangers offered Amonte, Vanbiesbrouck, Kovalev, Weight, 3 1st rd picks and 12 million cash for him I remember the arbitraitor reversing the deal but I forgot the players involved

Who knows how that may have effected the 94 team. Good chance we're talking about 76 years w no CUP.

Correct it was his uncle. Yeah who knows what would have happened if that deal went down

He hasn't signed his ELC, dumb transfer agreement has him either with the Rangers or Mississauga.

He should play for a pretty damn good juniors team though, Hague is likely a first rounder this year and McLeod, Nylander and Bastian will all be back.

That was the same situation with Duclair I wanna say

He was one of I think four players given exceptional status at the age of 15 to play in the CHL. 6'3" great speed, etc. He just didn't give a crap.

I've always paid attention to prospects, but since about 2010 when the Devils started heading south in a hurry I spend more of the season looking at draft eligibles than ever.

EP does a great job of tracking some of the draft eligibles every year.

For us he probably will be. If he were drafted by anybody else he turn into a Marc Eduard-Vlasic type of D-man.

Yes they do. My early pick of a player who will be available that the Devils will pass on this year is Nicolas Hague. Just like Provorov and Logan Brown
