I am going to miss Bryz and Tortorella. Both of them were kinda crazy and fun to watch on TV. Torts made the 2012 playoffs so much better.

Yes time will tell but a decent goalie on a Devils team will look great. Hedberg and Terreri come to mind.

If there was anywhere for a goalie to develop, it's NJ with Brodeur and the coaching staff. Players don't come to NJ and get WORSE (generically), whereas players that leave NJ get worse.

I agree with your assessment of the Islanders.  They have a much greater chance to make a run than the devs (bleh).  I don't know what guys you mean the Rangers will lose.  We locked up McD, Stepan soon most likely, and have Hags to look at for 2 more years.  Henrik **may** leave but i don't see it happening. Nash still has plenty of time left, Richards can be bought out next year to clear cap space for free agents and rfa's like brassard and krieder.  Girardi and Staal have a little time left. The rest of the team is basically spare parts that we can fill in with prospects/fa's

Callahan and Girardi also. Lose them they are heart and soul ofthe team. Not saying rangers will be bad but they will be huge loss if they were to go
