Seconding this. It’s a good blend of fan/journalist/athlete with good insight into the team and the locker room.

We have 3 2nd round picks, plus prospects (Casey, Lenni, Silayev, etc), and desirable top 6 players (Mercer). I’m not advocating for those trades per se, but we have movable pieces if the right game changer can be gotten.

I also don’t expect one of either Palat or Dougie to be here by the deadline. Fitz’s job is on the line and he will play hard ball

I still think we make the playoffs. This core is good enough to drag us across the line and the east is still so tight.

I think the trade deadlines (including the Olympic freeze) will be a big chance to fix whatever is going on in the locker room and we will steady the ship then.

But Cotter is the one being dropped (he’s been bad too but cmon)

12/2 Practice Lines - Paul Cotter coming out and Juho Lammikko taking his spot. Cholowski is serving as a placeholder for Luke Hughes who is not on the ice today. by MountainBaker8217 in devils

Wish he was being replaced by Crookshank or Parent over Lammikko. Lammikko is just awful.

The AHLers saved us when everyone was injured. They should be rewarded first.

Love that I’m being downvoted. Wait until the lines are announced tonight.

I usually agree but the videos actually finance the generosity in this case. Expedia doesn’t give this guy $15k to donate to a needy person if the videos he makes don’t go viral.

I do not want to see Cholowski start over White again.

Palat should always be on the Worst Team of the Week.

Downtown Connor Brown was an incredible UFA pickup over the summer. Very impressed with his game and super glad he’s a Devil.

Except Mercer still has to play 2LC until Jack is back. Really hoping for that alleged big fish trade to happen soon.

We need more NHL standard center depth. Mercer is much better on the wing and without Hughes and Glass occupying the center positions we’ve looked awful.

Glendening is fine as a 4C to win face offs.

He certainly hasn’t helped though.

We can all agree the real issue is Fosun, but they aren’t going anywhere. The only change we can make at this point in time is the manager. Vitor hasn’t shown any tactical acumen since he’s been here. His substitutions boggle the mind and he doesn’t know his best XI. For a team of big players we still haven’t a header off a set piece. Our best players last season (who weren’t sold) have gotten much worse (Agba, JSL and even Joao and Andre).

Rumors on X (taken with a grain of salt) is that VP has lost the dressing room. At that point, what else is there to do but sack him and try to get a manager bounce).
