Andrew Amerk Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Dell, 32, played seven games with the New Jersey Devils, with a 1-5 record, along with a 4.14 goals against average and an .857 save percentage. Sweet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They learned their lesson last year when they literally had to sign guys off the street, so they load up on experience and character to fill their depth. I really think they still want someone like Giorgiev or Kahkonen to come in and have the opportunity to run with the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Dell and Anderson for the majority of the season, then give UPL 25-30 games after the Olympic Break. Depends how many games of cushion we have on team 31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep Eichel and tell him he needs to score 100 points and we'll trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if he is in the AHL. Then it’s more like 500k less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Has any organization ever displayed this level of ineptitude? I can’t take watching another year of getting shellacked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sad/funny because he probably has a better chance of being the starter in the NHL then he does in the AHL (Assuming UPL is the AHL starter this year) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they have made 7 or 8 signings and have yet to spend $8 mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I am sick of this. I am really quite beside myself. Maybe UPL will come up from Rochester after 30 games? Maybe Anderson will teach and mentor? Maybe Aaron Dell is like a pre-Sabres Carter Hutton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejeanneret Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Another goalie who in the past 3 seasons has a GAA above 3. At this rate we are going to miss Carter Hutton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can buy every drink and appetizer, as he'll be making 16% of the team's salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag0nDan Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I expect him or tokarski in the minors. His numbers last year were pretty terrible, this is probably his last shot for nhl playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had bosses who made way more than me complaining about how they hated their job and the company. Free dinners didn’t evaporate what I had to hear.
