The Devils have traded Haula Sucks to Nashville for a 4th round pick and Dman Jeremy Handel. https://www.nhl.com/devils/news/devils-acquire-hanzel-pick-from-nashville-for-haula-release-6-18-25

We could have had him…

This is the time for positivity. Everyone is undefeated and coming off of an off-season of hopefully helpful moves. We'll find out what the reality is soon enough.

Meh… it’s better than being an afterthought.

Our hype should be independent of the work the team and players put in. fug the karma. Let’s be happy while we can.

No

I always expected it locally but even national media is talking like this team is about to do something. I personally don’t like it, because it rarely works out that way. The blueprint stuff too. When you start speaking like you have arrived it diminishes the drive and the hunger it takes to compete. We haven’t won even a game yet, I am cautiously optimistic, but this team has too many questions from a roster and development perspective to be talking nonsense like playoffs or even a division title. Let’s just enjoy the journey and take it easy with the projections.

I think it depends on what our opponent does. We need to play our starters as long as theirs are playing. I dont think it does a whole lot of good for our starters to whip up on their backups.

Sam Bennett has got to go for more than that right? We should go after him.

Yeah who would guess you dont want your qb to think

Heres a good piece and update on this topic- https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-what-is-holding-up-nfl-draft-second-rounders-from-signing-rookie-deals/ Third year seems to be a issue and the amount of that's guaranteed. Part of the issue was Texans allowing the first full guarantee, but in the piece its states the current hang up is Saints 40th pick tyler. Qbs always are harder to pay, 3rd round Milore is also messing up. Every player drafted close to any great contract, they want the same. It honestly looks like some 2nd rounders could miss TC reps, including Panthers Nic. Its a showdown, no agent will want the title "didn't get my 2nd rounder full guaranteed like the pick before". Teams may have to conclude in order to end this mess.

Tepper still thinks he can run this like a hedge fund. He's such a fuging tool.

like this?

Deep Pounded

I left my mark in my underwear after lunch.

"Keep Pounding" was part of a Sam Mills thing that turned into a slogan, not something dreamed up by someone to motivate the team... I like it quite a bit since it has real meaning to it!

They somehow found a slogan worse than keep pounding? Impressive

Save it for game day, lol

I'm sorry, I just don't see what difference it makes. Preseason is preseason. Coaches know what they need to get out of practices (which are decidedly more important), and--whether we want to admit or not--preseason games can upend seasons before they even start due to injuries. We see it every single year. We're going to have to be patient and let the process play out. So what if we're still learning and gelling in September? It's going to happen anyway, and a quarter or two in largely meaningless preseason games isn't going to change it. Fool yourself that it makes any type of substantive difference if you want, but it's the camp, the practices, film time and all that other stuff that happens over time that makes the real difference.

We're going to have several (4-5 by my count) rookie starters and several starters on D that were on other teams last year. They need a lot more preseason snaps, especially the rookies! NFL is a big jump from college ball. And as it has already been pointed out, we need to hit the ground running and win those early game!

I would like to see the Starters in the first 2 preseason games get about 2 series each. The final game should be those that are fighting for a roster spot. Plus I don't expect to see any real difficult plays being run. Very vanilla

AR was never ready to be the opening day starter, just like Bryce. These rookie QBs are rushed into service when they really need time to develop and learn without the pressure of being the immediate team savior. I liked AR with the right HC, not Frank, and always thought he'd need some time to get up to the NFL speed and competitive level. He probably would have learned over the course of the year that running repeatedly into NFL defenders as a QB is a recipe for a short career. Cam was the exception, not the rule.

Oh I forgot about Barkov….im naming players on a team I don’t like….the team is stacked. Seth Jones! Holy poo
