    Ooooh you can't beat that trade... Setting up the post Brodeur era...

    In Lou we trust...


    P.S. You had to shed a tear when Marty drafted his own kid... classy move Devils to pick up the 7th rounder just to make Marty happy...

    that was maybe the worst trade I have ever seen. How Vancouver can give up for 1 draft pick is beyond belief.

    What a :censored:
    Could have done this before Free Agency or was this the front office cutting salary because they are going bankrupt.

    Either way... Good riddance.

    Even funnier, the Devils lost next years first round draft pick in trying to get this guy a contract, and they did it against the rules of the CBA at the time.

    Now he just leaves. I bet Clowe and Ryder are pretty bummed right now.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    He is "retiring" from the NHL. He's going to the KHL to make even more money. Some shady shit going on here...

    I love all the Flyers fans laughing at this when the Devils have owned us forever. Arguably the but run NHL franchise. They just keep rebuilding and will plug someone else in that will get they job done. So frustrating as a Flyers fan.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I disagree. I think this could be the end of the line for lou and possibly the devils. They have almost no organizational depth, especially at forward. They also did not have a high 1st this season and next season their pick is already wasted. It is impossible to come anywhere near building a team through ufa. Brodeur is about done and I do not believe schneider is a franchise carrying goaltender.

    Think they could be bad for multiple years... and I dont think their market can sustain any prolonged losing.

    Yep, especially when the franchise is already bleeding money. They needed the NHL to step in and help them.

    They can fold for all I care.

    Ultimately the nhl wont allow a relocation imo. The team will likely hit the grindstone financially and could be the next phoenix. The nhl likes the nyc market money and it isnt their style to pull a team who just built a hockey arena.
    I just cant believe there isnt more of a sustained following with the amount of and length of success.

    Former season ticket holder... Moved.
    It's a suburb.. Most people don't get home in time to hit the games that easily and the areas which would attract hockey are not that close to Newark... It's a weird place for a 3rd team in the NY market... NYers are not coming over unless it's Ranger or to a much less extent Islander fans.

    They should do a Kovalchuk jersey trade in like the Pats did for Hernandez.
