hf101 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Breaking News. T. P reporting on CSN that within the last hour he has heard that the Devils are focused in acquiring in goalie Zachary Fuchale from Halifax. And that the Flyers will do what they can to make sure the Devils do not draft Fuchale. This becomes rather interesting because the Devils draft #9 ahead of the Flyers. Most mock drafts don't have Fuchale going in the top 12, which means we would need to get a late first round pick or early second round pick. Quote
Vincent05 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Read and our 2nd to get back into late 1st? Makes no sense to me, aren't they high on Stolarz(sp). They would probably make it to the NHL at the same time and create a log jam. We need to draft defense!!!! Quote
flyercanuck Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I'm sure the Devils share their draft board with TP.Who wouldn't want Fucale? He's way ahead of any other goalie in the draft this year. Quote
jammer2 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 If it was anyone other than Lou drafting him in the 9 slot, I'd say it's a all in move. As great as Zach looked, he has a way higher chance to be a bust than any forward or d man at in that slot. That kinda miss is a suicide move for a GM, which is why you don't see a lot of goalies going high.....and this draft is just a little different to all out miss on. Quote
mojo1917 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I *hope* we're not basing our draft on what Lou is doing . 2 Quote
OccamsRazor Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 And that the Flyers will do what they can to make sure the Devils do not draft Fuchale.Craig Button said he is best goaltender he has ever seen at his young age...his idol growing up and playing style emulate Broduer...so we'll have to wait 5-6 years to know if he'll be bust... 1 Quote
Earle'sGaffe Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I'm interested in this prospect but don't know much about him. Can anyone answer these questions?Does he care about the universe?Does he own a husky?Does he have a soft spot in his heart for brutal tyrants?Any help you can offer would be welcome. Quote
Podein25 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 This local scribe and fellow poolie did have NJ taking Fucale in his Mock and he's not alone among locals in the know that predict NJ will take Fucalehttp://thechronicleherald.ca/sports/1138587-why-wait-until-sunday-palov-predicts-the-1st-round-of-the-nhl-draftI don't think it makes sense to sell assets to move up to take Fucale earlier than 9, Move up to get Nurse or someone like that, but not a goalie... 1 Quote
Claude Monet Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Fucale was awesome in the Cup Finals. He outplayed Carruth and Halifax won. 1 Quote
jammer2 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 @doom88 Guess Fucale goes back to jr's for a few years and then takes over for Budji as back up, then challenges Price eventually. Realy nice spot to be in, having the potential successor to Price and have some much time to develop him. I liked Montreals draft. Quote

hf101 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Guess they didn't want him.Nope opted for a NHL goaltender instead with Schneider. Quote
doom88 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 So, when is NJ going to lose that 1st round pick for the Kovy deal punishment? I hate seeing NJ restocking with high picks and CHOOSING not to be punished year after year. 2 Quote

I hate seeing NJ restocking with high picks and CHOOSING not to be punished year after year. Classy move by New Jersey, selected Brodeur's kid in the 7th round. Can never have enough quality tenders.... Quote
doom88 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Next season doom. Let's hope they finish last in the league :lol:/>Man I hope so. I hate Brodeur and Elias so much. Quote
Phillygrump Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Has to be next year. It was NJ's choice of 2013 or 2014.I hope they finish in the top 3. How can you choose when you get punished? Quote
DaGreatGazoo Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I hope they finish in the top 3. How can you choose when you get punished?Cause the evil ButtClown makes things up as he goes along? Allowing the offending team to choose their punishment was soo effed up, he couldn't help but make it happen. Quote
