ZitatThe New York Post suggests New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello is going after Buffalo’s Miroslav Satan and/or Alexei Zhitnik.
"Imagine that power play," one Devil told the Post yesterday.

With recently acquired Viktor Kozlov set to make his debut in a week or two, as he recovers from a concussion, the Devils' hope more help is on the way.

"There's excitement because of these trades for the fans, [the press] and even for us," Martin Brodeur told the paper. "Teams are loading up.

ZitatThe Post also suggests other names remain, or are becoming, available, especially Brendan Witt, Sean Hill, Glen Wesley, Lyle Odelein, Alexander Karpovtsev, Shawn McEachern, Jeff O'Neill and more

ZitatPhoenix Coyotes General Manager Michael Barnett announced today that the Coyotes have acquired right wing Mike Rupp and a second round pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for center Jan Hrdina.

This season, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Rupp has played in 51 games with the Devils, recording 6 goals, 5 assists, 11 points and 41 penalty minutes (PIM).  In 2002-03, his rookie season, Rupp split the season between New Jersey and Albany (AHL).  In 47 games with Albany, he collected 8-11-19 and 74 PIM in 47 games.  During three recalls to the Devils last season, Rupp recorded 5-3-8 and 21 PIM in 26 games.  After the completion of the AHL season, he was recalled by the Devils and played in the final 4 games of the Stanley Cup Finals, recording 1-3-4.  In Game 7 of the Finals, Rupp recorded a point on all three Devils goals (1-2-3) and scored the Cup-winning goal as the Devils captured the 2003 Stanley Cup with a 3-0 victory over Anaheim.

In his 2nd NHL season, the 24-year-old native of Cleveland, Ohio has played his entire NHL career with New Jersey, recording 11-8-19 and 62 PIM in 77 career games.  Rupp was originally drafted by the New York Islanders in the 1st round (9th overall) of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft but re-entered the draft two years later and was selected by New Jersey in the 3rd round (76th overall) of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

The 6-foot-0, 206-pound Hrdina has played in 55 games with the Coyotes this season, recording 11-15-26 and 30 PIM with a minus-10 rating.  The 28-year-old native of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic was acquired by the Coyotes from Pittsburgh along with Francois Leroux for Ramzi Abid, Dan Focht and Guillaume Lefebvre on March 11, 2003.  In his 6th NHL season, Hrdina has collected 90-167-257 and 253 PIM in 425 career games

Naja das mit dem Sabres Duo wird wohl nichts  :D:
Allerdings sind das schon ganz gute Deals gewesen imho zumindest...

doch ich stimme giguerre zu, noch ein mann für die defense sowie ein Back-up wären empfehlenswert, dann wäre man vollkommen bereit für die PO's  :up:

ZitatDEVILS EXPECTING A DEAL.

NEWARK STAR-LEDGER: Rich Chere reports New Jersey Devils players are steeling themselves for another trade by their GM Lou Lamoriello. It's believed he's in the bidding for the services of Carolina defenceman Sean Hill but it's also possible he could shop for a quality backup for Martin Brodeur (Hill /w Arturs Irbe ?).

NEW YORK POST: Mark Everson reports the trade options for Lamoriello are "dwindling" which could force him to do the unthinkable: swing a trade with the NY Rangers. Everson claims the Rangers are shopping Vladimir Malakhov, as well as possibly Greg de Vries and Boris Mironov. Lamoriello is believed in the market for Washington's Brendan Witt, but his interest in Carolina's Sean Hill may have "cooled". He might also be interested in landing a scoring winger like Atlanta's Shawn McEachern or Florida's Valeri Bure.

Devils look for defense

By DARREN EVERSON
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

The Devils are off until tomorrow night's divisional clash with Philadelphia at the Meadowlands, but their general manager most certainly is not.
With the trade deadline at 3 p.m. tomorrow, the Devils figure to be active. Having already revamped the defending Stanley Cup champs at center, Lou Lamoriello is expected to gear up further for the playoffs by adding a defenseman.

The Devils themselves won't say that they need reinforcements - they are, after all, almost entirely the same team that won the Cup last season - but surely none of them would be surprised to see another new face.

"I don't think we're done," center John Madden said. "I'm not saying that because I think we need to add players. ... (but) there's always a player out there who can help your club."

Judging by Lamoriello's decision to join the team in Raleigh on Saturday for the final game of a four-game road trip, Madden may be right.

Lamoriello is believed to be interested in Carolina defenseman Sean Hill,who recently agreed to waive his no-trade clause. Hill is said to have agreed to go to one of two teams - the Devils and Stars - and Lamoriello did speak with Carolina GM Jim Rutherford on Saturday.

Other possibilities include the Capitals' Brendan Witt and the Rangers' Greg de Vries.

The Devils need to shore up a defense that has suffered without Scott Stevens. The penalty kill has especially been hurt by Stevens' absence, although the Devils' captain is expected to return from his post-concussion-like symptoms by the end of the season.

March 8, 2004 -- The Devils may have to make their first-ever deal with the devil, which is how their fans regard the Rangers.
Lou Lamoriello's options are dwindling. Bolstering his defense may require him to trade for ex-Devil Vladimir Malakhov, while Greg de Vries and Boris Mironov are also possibilities.

This next day stands as the Devils' last, best, chance to successfully defend the Stanley Cup for once. Unless a big deal that doesn't appear to be happening suddenly materializes, Lamoriello may be wasting that golden chance at securing his team's place among the legends with a fourth Cup in 10 years.

It will be different when they return from the lockout that this trading frenzy is all-but-announcing. Scott Stevens may decide he's played enough, the 30-year-old restricteds might be sprung as unrestricted by a new CBA, and the game itself might be less conducive to Devils-style hockey and Wandering Martin Brodeur. By then, the old guard will have changed, and the Devils will have to be luckier even than they were last year to win another Cup quickly after the lockout.

Do-Little Lou has already done a pair of little deals, trading for Viktor Kozlov and Jan Hrdina to bolster the center position, and add righty pivots. But it may come to tomorrow afternoon's 3 p.m. EST deadline before he can land the defenseman he needs.

That backliner may well turn out to be Washington's Brendan Witt, as reported here two weeks ago. Aside from the flock of Rangers, Lamoriello's other options seem to be vanishing.

Lamoriello is believed to flatly rejected dealing collegiate hotshot Zach Parise for Brian Leetch, but is said to have discussed re-acquiring Malakhov from the Rangers. The two neighbors have never made a deal since the Devils moved from Denver in 1982. Lamoriello has long had interest in Mironov, and Malakhov won a Cup with New Jersey in 2000.

Word is that talks have cooled off with Carolina for Sean Hill, but those discussions are almost certain to be rekindled before the trading ban strikes. Buffalo is virtually precluded from dealing Alexei Zhitnik by its refusal to concede the final Eastern playoff berth. Unless minds change in Florida, where Lyle Odelein is expected to stay put, and Anaheim, where Keith Carney is supposed to be remaining, Lamoriello's options are limited.

A scoring winger is the other big need, and Valeri Bure might be that answer, or Atlanta's Shawn McEachern. Jeff O'Neill might not fit with Lamoriello's style. Otherwise, Lamoriello might seek a veteran backup for Brodeur, although Scott Clemmensen has done well in limited action. Arturs Irbe and Brian Boucher could be answers there, but it wouldn't seem the need would justify much cost.

They may be different Devils when they resume play tomorrow night against the Flyers at the Meadowlands. If they're not, it could be early summer in the swamp.

* Kozlov skated Saturday for the first time since his Feb. 14 concussion . . . Hrdina made his Devils debut, wearing No. 16, in 4-1 victory in Carolina Saturday.

Rafalski fällt bis Playoffs aus
(17.03.2004)

Bereits am Dienstag vor einer Woche erlitt New Jerseys Verteidiger Brian Rafalski einen Wadenbeinbruch kurz unterhalb des rechten Knies. Dies ergab am Sonntag eine Röntgenaufnahme, woraufhin das Management jetzt den 30-jährigen US-Amerikaner vorsichtshalber gleich bis zu den Playoffs vom Dienst freistellte. Rafalski muss zwar bis zu seinem nächsten Einsatz keinen Gips tragen, soll aber das Bein möglichs schonen.

Rafalski gehört den Devils seit 1999 an und holte mit New Jersey in seinem ersten Jahr, sowie 2003 zwei Mal den Stanley Cup. In dieser Saison erzielte er sechs Treffer und gab 27 Vorlagen in 68 Partien. Während der nächsten zehn Spielen steht er dem Titelverteidiger nicht mehr zur Verfügung.

Zitatwar wohl noch nix mit Nr.400
vieleicht nächstes mal  

Zitat
den raff ich trotzdem net?!  :confused:

Das gleiche denke ich auch !

Ist zwar geil das man sich mit hoffentlich 2 Siege in die PO´s geht !

Aber danach geht es erst richtig los !

Und dann bringt das alles nichts was vorher war !

Subject: A Big Thank You!

Dear Bill,

   I am deeply touched by the card I received to-day from the Devils Office.   As for the donations you have collected and turned over to Hockey Fights Cancer i am truly honoured that you have chosen my name in this deed.

   I wish to tell everyone that treatments are difficult but are going relatively well.   My surgery is scheduled for mid July so we'll know a lot more after that.

   I want to take this time to thank everyone for the kindness and compassion to be able to fight this awful disease.   You are truly wonderful people and i'm looking forward to seeing you all in the fall for another Cup Run!!

Go Devils

Pat Burns

ZitatWie jetzt ????

;(

Zitathaha, sehr schön. Das gibt wieder einige nette Nickligkeiten in der neuen Season (wenn sie denn irgendwann mal anfängt) bei den Flyers vs Devils Spielen...

ZitatIch hoffe einfach mal dass, die Devild diedes Jahr gut im Team zusammen arbeiten weil so wahnsinnige (Top)stars habens ja nicht

ZitatThis may end up being Lou's worst signing in his career

$2+ million bucks right now for Matvichuk is questionable.. but a 4 year deal!!! - Matvichuk in several years if he gets any worse could end up in Albany making $2+ million.

Zitat@Turco: Der Kommentar eines Fans aus einem anderen Forum muss rein gar nichts heißen ...

Zitatnaja.....99-00 das war eigentlich seine beste season,da hatte er sich den #3 spot bei den verteidigern ergattert...... und von da an, hat er eigentlich nicht mehr viel gebracht

ZitatJa in Dallas hat er immerhin eine Plus Minus Bilanz von 0gehabt während beispielsweise ein Mike Modano eine Bilanz von -21 hatte.

ZitatNaja, dass kann man glaube ich nicht vergleichen!
Matvichuk ist Verteidiger und Modano ist bekanntlich Stürmer und ich glaube dass man als verteidiger mehr plus/minus (plus meine ich jetzt) punkte hat als Stürmer.
Oder etwa´nicht .... ??

Zitatmatvichuck ist bestimmt eine gute verpflichtung der devils. er wird sich wohl, wenn stevens und niedermayer fit sind, mit white um die nummer vier streiten.

übrigends statistiken. hab mir mal die statistiken der devils verteitiger in der reg. season angeguckt und da ist mir aufgefallen, dass nur raymond giroux eine negative bilanz hat. :ee:

Zitatwir sind halt die besten!  

ZitatWenn das so ist,dann gebt Rob so schnell wie möglich ein Angebot für 2 200 000 Millionen und er gehört euch.Das wäre der beste Deal für die Ducks und für die Devils.

ZitatSeit wann bruahc tman den draft Picks um einen StanleyCup im hier und jetzt zu gewinnen???
die braucht man nur damit man auch in Zukunft noch welche gewinnen kann.

Zitat
Die Devils haben Tough Guy Krysztof Oliwa unter Vertrag genommen.Oliwa spielte bereits von 1996 bis 2000 bei den Devils und gewann 2000 mit der Mannschaft den Stanley Cup.

ZitatWundert mich auch,dass man nach langdon den zweiten tough guy verpflichtet hat,aber ich könnte mir vorstellen,dass einer der beiden im Waiver Draft geht.

Zitat
Ich bin auch der Meinung dass Oliwa der spielerisch bessere Spieler als Langdon ist.Langdon kam in 64 Spielrn auf lediglich 3 Punkte(0+3) während Oliwa immerhin in 65 Spielen auf 5 punkte kam(3+2).

ZitatWow, da ist Oliwa in dieser Hinsicht ja wirklich um Welten besser ...
