Nico Hischier Was Not At-Fault For The New Jersey Devils' Struggles...His Leadership & Impact Was Important

Recently, Travis Zajac threw some shade towards our organization in terms of our "structure" and overall "assertiveness". Man, guy gets to New York, and suddenly doesn't know how to act. There is some truth to his claims, however I still do believe that he's wrong in some instances. Also, let's do an update on the Islanders and Bruins series, because our draft pick from the Islanders plays a factor.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

In this final two part episode, I evaluate Seth Jones' overall impact on the sheet of ice. Because I feel like he gets an unfair amount of hate, especially since he's a four time all-star. However, I do need to admit that I am changing my mind on whether if the Devils should potentially sign him or not. Because I fear that he might ask for too much, and I am not sure if the positives outweigh the negatives in this regards. But, I am still a fan of his game.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

For their goodwill and overall social impact, Kurtis Gabriel and PK Subban, along with Pekka Rinne, are the finalist for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy. Even though I believe that Rinne will win it, I am still pushing for either Subban or Gabriel to come out victorious. Also, let's get back to some silly season discussion. Because Seth Jones wants out of Columbus, could he end up in New Jersey? Well, we need to discuss his contract and narrative involving the situation.Interview with Kurtis Gabriel: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-devils?selected=LKN6062967590Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

The draft is about a month and a half away, however I still want to have a discussion involving the hypothetical scenarios. If we think about it, there's no clear cut favorite to be selected first overall by the Sabres, despite the popularity from Owen Power. This kind of draft makes for some fun overall discussion about the potential slips, and options to choose from. Since they're a lot of good defensemen, could it be possible that the Devils select Brandt Clarke? I mean his brother already plays in our organization.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

This draft is quite compelling. I'm hearing a lot of various opinions involving who will be drafted first overall, or even who the New Jersey Devils might potentially draft. Ultimately, I am happy with the fourth overall selection that the Devils were awarded. Because now we have to be favorites to get Luke Hughes...or maybe somebody else. I'm hearing rumors that New Jersey might go for a goaltender with their first overall selection? Yes, you heard me correctly.

The NHL Draft lottery is tonight, and I'm loving the New Jersey Devils' chances of getting a relatively high draft selection. There are a lot of great University of Michigan Wolverines on the board for the taking (two of them are great LHD). However, I want to discuss possible worst case scenarios just in case somebody has their hopes set a little too high. But, like I said, I love our chances.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

The draft lottery is almost here, and we are finally going to see whether or not the New Jersey Devils get the first overall selection or not. From recent reports, I heard that they have about a 20% chance to do so, however I think everybody wants the organization to draft Luke Hughes, younger brother of Quinn and Jack, if we aren't awarded the #1 pick. Luke can provide the overall package to our team whether it be defense, scoring, or passing he can do it all potentially. This episode will provide a player profile for the Michigan native.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Pucks and Pitchforks (Fansided) posted an article that talked about certain narratives that people would potentially be discussing this offseason involving New Jersey. I side with Pucks and Pitchforks in this regard, because the claims and statements are flat out blasphemous. Today's episode will involve me coming to the aid of Blackwood and Hischier and breaking down why both of them are great in their respective roles.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AG: There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.
