The Mad Crapper 07-09-2007, 12:59 PM HockeyBuzz.com is saying that the Devils are in the running for Darren McCarty.
Although McCarty would be a nice fit with the Devils; lots of energy, toughness & capable of scoring some goals...I would think that would be the end of the Janssen era as he'll be spending time in either Lowell and/or Trenton.
Thoughts anyone???
Voice of Reason 07-09-2007, 01:04 PM McCarty is like 100 years old. We'd probably be looking for more of the leadership intangibles/character than serious on-ice production.
Systemfel 07-09-2007, 01:04 PM D-Mac is finished. He missed 50 games with injuries last season.
DevsOwnYou 07-09-2007, 01:04 PM I would rather give the roster sport to a young guy.
Unless Lou is planning on trading Cam?
Richer's Ghost 07-09-2007, 01:06 PM He's 35 years old... the age when fighters get hurt too much to make the lineup.
I like Cam better for filling the role, but Darren could do some grinding in front of the net and make a big screen for a PP cannon shot (hmmm who could have one of those?)
JRZ DVLS 07-09-2007, 01:11 PM Can't Grant Marshall do what Macarty does if needed? No need for Darren

Thing about Asham is he's going to get twice as much as another player who can fill his role.

Man Mccarty would look great on our 3rd line banging the other teams top forwards.
JimEIV 07-09-2007, 01:30 PM McCarty is a shell of his former self......So many problems in his life he isn't really a Devil type of guy.
goin2hell 07-09-2007, 03:27 PM Steer clear of this guy. His heart is in the right place but his skills are lacking. Too bad he is a great team guy.
feerlessleadr 07-09-2007, 03:48 PM why do i have a feeling that mccarty would be the second coming of darren langdon?
njdevil26 07-09-2007, 04:14 PM NOOOOOOOOOOOO
no more players who are CAPABLE of scoring goals. that's crap. WE NEED TO SCORE MORE GOALS
The Omen* 07-09-2007, 05:36 PM Thing about Asham is he's going to get twice as much as another player who can fill his role.
He's also 3x better.
fIREnIcE 07-09-2007, 06:14 PM He's also 3x better.
yup...I cant see marcarty signing for less than 750 to get asham it would cost maybe 1-1.5 he is everything Cam Rupp and McCarty is but better. I know with the cap money is always an issue but I really feel to make deep into the playoffs we need to roll 4 lines
bottom 2
pandolfo madden clarkson
rupp brylin asham
viokhula
lets leave the question marks out of the equation....
1. Can Clarkson really fill a spot on the roster all season long?
2. Can Rupp/Jannsen really do the job, AT a high level for more than 3 minutes a night?
3. Is viokhula's game going to translate here in NA?
Add asham in the picture we can have a floating 13th player between rupp-viokhula-clarkson
jaydevils 07-09-2007, 06:29 PM Darren McCarty is what the devils need he is a gritty guy and the devils I think are lacking that Gritt on the lower lines. If you where to put him with Madden and Pandolfo I think it would be great and he has a heck of alot more skill the Janssen even if he is older.
NJ_Devil_Boy 07-09-2007, 06:36 PM The last time I heard McCarty news, it was related to $$$ problems. I think it was him, and I hope the situation has been resolved before he gets back in the game.
Give'em Hell! 07-09-2007, 06:46 PM i hope hockeybuzz.com is wrong about alot of the players we are supposedly interested in if you look down the list we are interested in nothing but complete garbage at this point.
LOU PLEASE DO NOT START SIGNING VETERANS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING VETERANS.
this team has enough veterans we were one of the oldest teams in the league last year.
PS how the hell are we rumored to be interested in Brian Boucher?!?!?
4check22 07-09-2007, 07:29 PM I like it. After signing Darren McCarty, we can then sign Stu Grimson, Marty McSorely and Jesus Christ if he is available.

Brooklyndevil 07-09-2007, 09:04 PM I rather have Asham as well. Also, the Buzz reporting that Vancouver loading up on defensemen for a trade, possibily with the Devils.

Hmmmm....who do they have that would be of interest to us I wonder???

No, you didn't hear?...according to the NHLLine.ca Jesus is signing with the Rangers for 6 mil per
Lou's Koolaid 07-09-2007, 09:47 PM No, you didn't hear?...according to the NHLLine.ca Jesus is signing with the Rangers for 6 mil perWhat are you talking about didn't Jesus sing with the Kings? Anyhow were better off bringing Randy Mckay out of retirement than getting McCarty. Clarkson can maybe become this type of player.

6? i heard he was taking a discount just to play for a contender

That is the discount...the whole resurrection thing is costing them a lot.
Jared Ramsden 07-09-2007, 10:15 PM D-Mac is finished. He missed 50 games with injuries last season.
As I posted on another thread, I am also a believer that he is indeed finished. He's a great guy to have in the room, but his rambunctious style has definitely taken a toll on his body. It really was painful to watch him get from point A to point B last year. He just doesn't have it anymore.
Voice of Reason 07-10-2007, 09:38 AM That is the discount...the whole resurrection thing is costing them a lot.
Well, He'd qualify for the over 35 yr old incentive-laden contract.
Imagine, Jesus getting less than Gomez. Who'd a thunk it?
