CAPS watered down ?
When the prospects played PITTS and Boston those were not real prospects either but we lost both of them games big.

It does not matter whom you play it matters how you play. ESP. PRE SEASON.

Nico will get a strong winger to protect him no worries.
Possibly WOOD.

Bladisi looked very good .he played center which is strange as we have
Zacha , Nico ,Boyle and looks like MOJO all playing center. also possibly Henrique .
So why Blandisi at center???

Hall-Mojo-Palmieri
Henrique -Zacha -Stafford
Wood -Nico -Noesen
Blandisi -Boyle -Hayes

- thechezman


I'm in agreement with martysbetter. Take away Hayes. He's slow and its costing us PIMs. But I like that you included Wood. I was impressed with his potential last season, and he's often overlooked

you take Hayes out of that lineup right now

Would love to but we are so short on right wings they're going to give him some more play....

I have to believe there will be better options off the waiver wire as teams cut down their roster and if not just use one of the kids as a plug until Travis is healthy.

from the presser sounds like it shouldn't be that bad but still that's some serious poop.

They say they caught it early, so prognosis is good, but it’s still a form of bone marrow cancer, no idea what that means for his career.

Credit to the Devils medical staff for testing and doing blood work before training camp started.

just awful. my goodness.

not to minimize the seriousness of that for him personally..

but for the Devils, I guess that means he won't be playing. another center spot open. With Zajac out, losing Boyle actually means a little more than it otherwise would.

Says he's pretty much planning to play through it. He'll be on meds and out of camp but aiming for the opener.
