Subject: Re: [Devils-list] Holik in the news
With all that being said, it is sad but I have this bad feeling that =
this is just the first of many exits by the current Devil players. >>
The prospect of some of the Devs leaving sucks, but we all knew at =
one time or another this team would go into a 'rebuilding mode'. I mean, =
a REAL rebuilding movement where they may not do so well for a few =
years.. I can honestly tolerate that if they can continue to contend =
after having a couple of rocky seasons. Well, I'm an ex Whaler fan and =
that team never won ANYTHING so I really appreciate what the Devs have =
managed to accomplish in the 1990s and early 2000s. Honestly, Lou has =
kept this team very competitive for many years and we have to give him =
props for managing to accomplish this feat without an unlimited payroll =
and excellent drafting (many recent years he hadn't had any Top 10 pick =
but managed to still draft high quality NHLers).=20
=20
<<I don't think Stevens will be here.>>
I heard that Stevens is building a home on some land in NJ so I =
don't anticipate him being all that willing to ditch the team, if he's =
going to that trouble. Just a thought. Maybe he'll sign a short term =
deal and only play a few more years at most, who knows.=20
<<I will draw the line on Broduer. If Lou lets him go, I am finished =
purchasing season tickets and will become a casual fan.>>
I can't imagine Lou dumping Marty unless a) Marty is ridiculous in =
his $$ demands (then I don't blame Lou for considering letting him go), =
and b) Ahonen is the real deal. I have heard Ahonen is DAMN impressive =
from my pal who talked to Jacques Caron this past season, but we don't =
know if that will translate into AHL or NHL success.
