Devils are going to push for a playoff spot this year.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The Devils have the brightest future in the Metro right now with Hughes x2, Hischier, Holtz, Mercer.

Just a reminder that HANK was bang on when he had the courage to write that RJ needed to retire. It's sad to hear him do the get off my lawn routine, reminisce about buffets & boozing, or in the case of the 1st period wonder aloud multiple times why the whistle went. will the Santa suit return!?

Teams built through multiple top 5 picks..

If only they would have finished 10th those years so we can watch 82 games of decent hockey

- Pegullaville

Some of Tampa's best players were drafted outside the 1st rnd. Toronto hasn't done sh!t with it.

I'll take a team that continues to try to win while drafting and developing their players.

WINNING CULTURE.

This "losing on purpose" is like pulling out of your girl and using your own hand to finish yourself off.

We had a franchise Center in Eichel and a 2C/1RW in Reinhart to build around thanks to tanking.

But yes continue to blame tanking, not ownership and management

- Pegullaville

They sold their soul for those two. And they ended up worse. Sorry.

So tanking for Eichel is the reason we couldn’t build around Eichel ?

The Sabres were trying to win with Eichel no ?

Speed up the rebuild ?

Tanking wasn’t the issue, everyone likes to conveniently blame it though for what reason I don’t know.

Im done losing brain cells having this conversation though.

Im out for today

You mean removing the worst d-man in the NHL from your roster pays dividends ?

Who would have thought.

Cody Eakin looks like a hybrid cross between Joe Dirt and Budnick from Salute Your Shorts
