The New Jersey Devils have placed 7 players on waivers today, all of which will be sent down to Albany when they clear them tomorrow. I focus on Tyler Eckford, a prospect thought to be in a battle in camp, yet on the verge of not playing one preseason game this year.
Martin Brodeur revealed in an interview today that John MacLean actually ran practices, meetings, and more on the Devils when Lou was the interim head coach in 2005-06 and 2006-07. Based on this, I feel more positive that he's the head coach now - and I poll the readers for their reaction.
Adam Mair is on a try-out basis with the New Jersey Devils training camp this year. I review his advanced statistics from last season and conclude that he's not very good on multiple levels.
One of the rising issues after the Ilya Kovalchuk signing saga is whether he will be worth all of the assets the Devils traded and lost this year for him. I argue that he already is worth more than the traded players and the picks lost by virtue of his talents and that the Devils would not be better off without him right now.
