This game is just what the Rags need to get back on track.

If his RFA deal is only 1 year, then I expect that to be why. He'll play his time that he has to, but I doubt unless the treatment changes that he'll want to stay past his obligations. I realize he's very young yet & has a ways to go, but the best way to learn is out on the ice playing, not on the bench. |

Building blocks: Forwards Adam Henrique (23), Andrei Loktionov (23), Jacob Josefson (22) and Mattias Tedenby (23); defenseman Adam Larsson (20)
On the way: Defensemen Jon Merrill (21), Steven Santini (18), Eric Gelinas (22), Damon Severson (19)
Movable parts: Forward Jaromir Jagr; defenseman Marek Zidlicky
Missing pieces: Everything but a goalie. Literally. Everything.
Stumbling block: The obstinance of GM Lou Lamoriello, who continues to put his faith into high-mileage 30-plus players instead of accepting the inevitable.
Timeline: Two years after reaching the Stanley Cup Final, the Devils are a franchise in steep decline. And while they may not yet embrace the concept of a rebuild, they won’t have a choice for much longer. Finding a legitimate replacement for Martin Brodeur in Cory Schneider was a big step, but beyond that, this is a wasteland. There’s little in the way of young talent at the NHL level and the prospect pool is inarguably one of the weakest in hockey, lacking true, high-end upside and utterly bereft of scoring potential. If there is a destination called Hope, the farthest place from it is New Jersey. |

Just found out john madden has a house 30 minutes from mine and he brought the cup there one year.
Mind blown. - shvingter88
That is awesome man as much as I always wanted to be that superstar forward when I played I always said If I had to compare my game to anyone it would be John Madden hell of a player who never got enough credit for what he did. One of my fav's! |

I agree with the exception that Tedenby, Lokti, and Josefson shouldn't be listed as building blocks, but rather movable parts. They've done nothing to demostrate ( albeit with limited total ice time) that they should be considered keepers. Personally I think they should be moved in a package for another FW. I'd list Boucher, Pietila, Coleman, Kujawinski, Scarlett, and Helgeson as additional "building blocks", however the only ones I see as keepers would be Boucher (until we know what exactly we have with the kid), Merrill, and Gelinas.
EDIT: Even Henrique should considered expendable at this point. Although I think his production will go up if A) he's played at center & B) he gets decent linemates. But, he may be the only one outside of Merrill & Gelinas that could fetch a decent return. |

Anyone else notice Larsson's age compared to two other guys we assume are surefire all-stars yet get the benefit of the doubt because they're not Swedish ?
