If this were 3 years ago I am all over this. I have no interest in Eric Cole now if I am Lou. Eklund is such a joke. Figured I would post it since it does involve the Devils.

There is no need for him. LW is our best position.

I like the laughs. One more person is not going to put him over the top and exactly ahead of tsn!!. Plus Howard Berger is not terrible so I go there to read that and some of the Sam Woo stuff. Eklund is a farce and a phoney. I agree all the way.

I don't see the Devils acquiring another forward at the deadline, and of course Eklund is just full of hot air. That being said, Cole is definitely a Lou type of player.

I never understood why people know that Eklund is ridiculous, yet go to his site and post his thoughts.

Great! He's a RW.

I'm not even sure what Tambellini would want from the Devils for him.

He actually plays both LW and RW these days.

But I agree there is no use for him on the Devils.

That makes about 8 teams thus far he's named that "want" Cole.

21 more to go...

I agree, if the price is not too high. Still, Zubrus adds a physical element to that line and he can play ANYWHERE!!! Zubie is under contract for a while and is still fairly young.

And if Lou gets a defenseman, it would be nice if he is not an UFA. Unless he thinks he can sign him, along with Johnny Oduya. I just don't want to lose anymore UFAs and get nothing in return.

I think Madden and Gionta will not be traded, but Lou may let both walk if he feels he can upgrade their positions. I can see Mad Dog going to Toronto. Gionta might end up on Buffalo. The Rangers will try to sign Johnny O. And they may go after Clemmer, because Valiquette sucks. Also, the Rangers love to sign our players. Maybe Lou will sign Brandon Dubinsky. I would give up a few picks for him if the Rangers don't match. He and Zajac would give us youth and tremendous talent up the middle for almost ten more years!!! Patrice Cormier will eventually be our third line center and we can always find someone to take a few shifts on the fourth line.

Because it is a forum and it still makes for something to talk about. Even though he makes up rumors and he is not reliable he still at rare time does make up a rumor where it at least makes some semblance of sense it it were to actually happen.

How so? I'm not saying I disagree. But I thought of Cole as a hard-nosed player, at least in the past. Maybe because I have memories of his coming back to play with the neck injury, but I thought he had a lot of heart.

Still not sure we need him, though.
