Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils: On Blandisi, Stempniak, Gelinas & More

Just goes to show how amazing of a sport hockey is, where 3 players, with different skills come together and make beautiful hockey. Chemistry is an amazing thing when you have it.

Well said...

Just picked Blandisi up in my Fantasy Keeper league, hopefully he can continue his strong play!!

I like the way that Stempniak is playing and he's a bargain for the devils at under a million... it's just too bad you can't pay the guy a little bit more because he's been performing so well.

I look at the Canadiens, and their best player not named Carey Price, to me, is Max Pacioretty, and he's only making 4.5M/y while Subban is making 9M/y... can they tell Subban to give a paycheque or two to Pacioretty?

164-14 Devils

Stempniak's always been an underated player. I've wanted him on the Pens since he spent a short time with them a couple of years ago. Could never understand why he's always one of the last free agents to sign.

Good blog Todd

If we're in the playoff hunt at the deadline we should def try to extend stempniak for two more years. If not, he'll certainly fetch us a second round pick with the way he's been playing.

I dunno. At age 32, and with only that one awesome year in St Louis, I still don't think Stempniak would fetch much. That being said, I hope they don't trade him and lock him up on a 2 year deal.

Beating the Penguins tomorrow night. That is the key. They'd be 50 games in and in a playoff spot. No one here could have expected that. Such a fun season thus far.
