Any idea on when we might find out who is getting the nod in net ? I personally would like to see Cory back there. Marty always seems to win against teams we have no right beating and struggles when we play a team that we should in all accounts beat.

When DeBoer meets the media a couple hours before the game, likely.

How come today he waits to make a decision ? Is it really that difficult to play the hot hand. Or does he really want to test Cory and see if he will buy the back to back crap.

considering brodeur has played 15 of last 20 games or something like that, i think you may have your answer

Tough Q considering they don't have a 1st rounder. Maybe Jaden Lindon (Owen Sound) or Eric Cornel (Peterborough).

So those would be the 2 guys take with the second or is that who you would take with the second and the other guy will the third ? And what type of players are they and what do they bring that you want to see the Devils drafting !

That Jaden kid has some decent size ! like that Cornel kids points a little more but I think we could use the rw a bit more then the center.

You will win and like it.

Some how 2/3rd's of a line combination I have been preaching for was together & both players had an assist. Ryder & Brunner. Unfortunately Loktinov was at C.

Note to DeBoer.

Ryder at LW with either Elias or Henrique at C please, Brunner at RW. I did say please. Just give it a shot for 3 to 5 full games, PLEASE!

I agree I don't mind these lines I would prefer Henrique at center but Adam doesn't seem to be struggling as much play wise at the wing this go around and if Elias gets tossed we have Hnerique to take the draw. I also can't recall if Ryder or Brunners assists where because of skill or luck that they missed the net or whiffed and it went to a guy who scored

Ha-ha! I don't care if the bounce in off their ass.

It's a skill set issue for me. Brunner is a soft 1 dimensional player. Ryder is not the perfect grinder or digger along the boards but with Clowe out he's still the best player left who can play LW to compliment Brunner's shooting ability.

problem is that it would need to be Elias at center which would force Henrique to the wing which no one really wants because with Henrique on that line it would have 3 shoot first players

I don't mind going with Marty tonight because its a back to back but Corey is clearly the hot hand and needs to play monday.

How many back to backs has marty played in in career where he has seen both games. I think it would be ok going with Marty for the back of the back to back had he not played 3 straight games after Cory stood on his head. Because of the way the schedule has worked out Cory should not get to play 3 straight games ? I just don't think it's fair when he didn't play for 8 straight days or 3 straight games.

Ekblad or Reinhart ? I haven't seen any of Reinhart but I have seen a fair bit of Ekblad and he is a stud. He is like 6'4 or 6'3 I think he plays a similar game to Jones. You guys recently drafted D heavy last year but the previous year you drafted Grigorenko and Girgensons so do you take the center or the D ?

I'd like to see Corey back in net as well. Hmmm Buffalo bad team, struggling on the road. That means we'll probably lose in a shootout.

Reinhart. I think we addressed the D in the last draft and the need will be center. We also have the Isles #1 pick in the Vanek trade but they have the option to defer that pick to 2015. It's all about the rebuild in Buff.

Yea but you can rebuild with the D just as easily the center. Hodgson is 23-4 then have Grigorenko and Girgenson that could be your future top three. I guess it depends on who is the best pick at the time I don't know much about Reinhart like I said but F usually have higher value then D with the 1st overall. You guys really need the help on wing ? Is Floligno and Armia the only young 2 wingers opn Buff and in the sytem that have a higher ceiling ?

Pete DeBoer said Cory Schneider will start in net for the Devils tonight against Buffalo.
