New GM comes in and deals a 2nd and 3rd for Palmieri who has 29 goals. Those picks were used to get Hagelin who sucked for the money and they gave away for nothing. New GM gets Devante Smith-Pelly for Matteau who dumbass Lou took at the end of the first round instead of forfeiting his draft pick for the Kovalchuk mess which was one of the dumbest moves in NHL history. Pelly has 11 points in 11 games. Matteau still sucks. The Devils that year probably would have been drafting 8 to 12. Could have had chance at Ristolainen, Horvat, Nichushkin, Morin, Domi, Morrissey or Wennberg, I laugh remembering to the old ESPN days when I used to tell the moron Devils fans how freakin stupid Lou had become.
To pass time by the last two nights, I saw a Devil team give Pittsburgh and Washington fits with their hard-nosed play. Would love to have Palmieri in a Ranger uniform. There are several NHL players I'd like to see on the Rangers.......really impressed with Vince Trocheck of Florida; Ondrej Palat of Tampa Bay; Colton Parayko & Kevin Shattenkirk of St.Louis. Really enjoy their contributions to their teams. As far as Lou Lam is concerned.........every Ranger fan holds bitter memories as his team won 3 Stanley Cups under his tenure.
