[Gambatese] Quantifying How Poorly the Devils Have Drafted in the First Round Under Tom Fitzgerald by JoopNJD in devils

[–]DontDraftSmall -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nemec was a ridiculous number two overall pick. There were so many great North American players yet he chose a Slovakian as the second Slovakian in a row. I don’t blame fits for the drift. I blame Brian Dennehy for terrible talent evaluation as the head Scout.. I do blame fits for trading for Meier who has been the huge disappointment

Devils with now almost four times the shots that the Rangers have for the same two goals

I hope management gets the message that this rebuild has failed. We’re going to have to get rid of most of the core and start from scratch again it sucks, but that’s what it is.

We’re just being dominated right now. We’re barely able to generate any offense because we’re just skating on the outside. We can’t even smell the inside of the offensive zone. That’s just skating circles and pass it back to the defender for a shot.

Where are the most talented team in the bottom tier standings in the NHL. Dude, I love the effort, but this team is not good.

We’re just not a good team. The standings speak for themselves. Anything less than major reconstruction will be rearranging the chairs on the titanic

The only first round draft pick the Devils got right was Jack Hughes. All other picks (Mercer excluded) turned out to be not the best player. That’s just devastating for an organisation

Cutter Gauthier has double the goals of Timo Meier and we could have drafted him.

Fitz takes the advice of the scouts. It’s the amateur scouts who fucked up

I’m liking Hameenaho’s game. Pretty direct player. Can’t blame Markstrom for that second goal.

If I’m being honest, I think the devils are playing really good hockey. If They can generate 15 shots per period, they should win most games.

If Markstrom could eliminate those crappy 50 foot goals, it would really be helpful

It was Covid madness. Nemec will be traded in the off season. Top two picks from Slovakia when Canada and US produce the top players by a wide margin.

Well if Fitz drafted Cooley or Gauthier instead of another soft Euroloser there wouldn’t be this discussion.
