clarkson is known for his skating, great figure skater
- dmarsden2988



cool, when he's done I'll watch him on battle of the blades.



Clowe was (frank)ing terrible last year. He was traded by a playoff team in the middle of a playoff run because of how awesome he is.

Aww, it must hurt having one of your staples leave.

First Parise, then Clarkson, then Kovy. Yikes.

One of those doesn't belong...

Probably has nothing to do with the team in front of him.

Just because you guys paid him top line money doesn't make him a staple.

Well considering we were on top of our division when Marty went down I think it might have been hedberg. What I watched last year confirms this.
- rmdevil313


Oh for sure. Marty had a great season, if he played every game I'm sure they would of been fine right?

Clowe can replace Clarkson, who had 5 goals and 8 points in the last 30 games of the season. Jagr and Ryder replace kovy? Maybe. Our goalie and best player is 27.
- rmdevil313


I don't mind Clowe...but the guy had 19 points playing with some pretty talented players last year. he may match Clarkson's output though, and he'll bring some toughness.

Kovi was a top 10 player in the league (although not great last year), I think it'll take a little more than Ryder and Jagr to replace what he brought.

Guy probably wasn't even a leader in the Devils room. Bet his teammate hated him and the zero intangibles he brings.

Better than what moose was doing. We were giving up the least amount of shots in the league. Moose had a save percentage of .883.

And a lot of teams missed who usually make it but it is you few who dont usually make it and did that put so much stock in the demise of all these other teams based on 48 games but hold a whole other standard to you're Leafs in that same 48 game span.

How many times have you seen this guy making over 5 million a season who has never hit 50 pts in a season play ? not very many times you say ? well then your opinion doesn't really matter now does it? You think because you are a fan of an original 6 team you're opinion matters over all other fans of other teams ?

Clowe > Clarkson.
- SameOld



Ryder>Clarkson Jagr>Clarkson

Clowe and clarkson are a wash if clarkson is better than him it's only slightly. The only real damaging thing was losing Kovy but we hope and expect the organization to go back to a more score by committee instead of let me give it to the superstar and watch philosophy.

Heard there was like 15-20 teams chasing Jagr. NJ just seemed like his best chance to win.

no debating he has lost quite a few steps in goal, and right now his greatest asset is providing confidence in his team (for some reason devils play better in front of him than his back up-might change now with schneider in the mix) and leadership, his play has taken a hit

If you really think Clowe & Clarkson are a wash, may god have mercy on your soul.

idk giorock and cranford are pretty bad


leaf fans are delusional

- dmarsden2988

I'm really hurt by this, you're comparing me with Cranny? He really hates the devils, for me it's more of a mild dislike. You should even consider yourselves fortunate I even visit from time to time.

It will be tough but I don't think its unreasonable. Kovi was huge and that was felt when he was injured. But the biggest reason it was felt is that we were replacing him with Poni, Sullivan, D'Agostini, etc. They were doing nothing. Elias can create for Ryder. Jagr can still create offense even if he's slow. Either Tedenby or Brunner are likely to make the team and are both creative players. It will have to be a team effort and we'll have to rely on our depth.
