Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 looks like the real deal, QB the PP for the Devils who lead the AVs 3-1 end of the 2nd all PPG and Will has 3 helpers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 Good for him, he definitely had a lot of doubters. But it's only one game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 yeah, hes not had a lot of ice time in respect but he's looked ok in the main. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 I remember reading that he was probably already a top four offensive defenseman, but that he likely wouldn't be a top pairing guy. But I've never seen him play so I have no insight. He definitely got dragged quite a bit around here though. Then again, they are playing the Avs. So maybe it's that.

Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 funny how his first NHL game was against the team that drafted him and he cold shouldered then and signs for the Devils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 I feel like the Avs and the Wings are basically the exact same team right now. Hard to believe a player would find New Jersey a more desirable destination than Colorado. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Could be worse, you could be like the Wings organization and beat writers who are still "joking" about luring Lidstrom out of retirement. A joke which was funny the year after he retired, but sad when made 5 years later. I think Ken Holland and co. would burn an orphanage to the ground if it meant they could go back in time to 1997.
