Forge Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Travis Zajac out 4-6 months following surgery for a torn pec. The devils dont exactly have a high octane offense, even with the addition of Nico. This hurts. Be lucky to get him back at the start of the new year.

All but guarantees we'll be seeing Michael McLeod up with the big boys. Well, either him or John Quenneville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Bad injury there for the Deviils. 4-6 months? Means he probably won't be back until the new year. See how rest of the team steps up in his absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like McCleod was already likely to make the roster before. I think now we could have a decent shot at both opening up on the roster.

If the plan was to keep him at center, he was kinda screwed with Zajac, Henrique, Hischier, and Boyle. Now, if they planned on him playing RW, yeah, he had a very real shot either way. Now they can keep him at C and see what he does. It all but guarantees that Hischier is up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look forward to the young guys playing. If the team is going to be bad, be bad in a way i can be hopeful lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be cut and paste at this point at 9 mill. I believe the issue is Eichel not wanting to commit longer than 4-5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oodles of talent and ability. How is your defense shaping up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just takes a few to develop and they'll improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuy82 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Will Butcher making his decision Sunday.. He's narrowed decision to 4 teams with couple sources thinking Buffalo will be front runner. Hopefully Jack Eichel keeps up his campaign job. He's very familiar with Eichel, Mittelstadt and a couple other American players we have Edited August 25, 2017 by BillsGuy82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
