2011/12 Rumours Thread - Absolute nonsense spotted!
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
This is a great post, and one i totally agree with, lets give it time before we start judging people, its so early at the moment and good things come to those who wait. We have a club thats more professional than ever, a great coaching staff, a game night experience second to none, and the best bloody fans in the land, not a lot to fret about at the moment. Have to finish with this already repeated comment (good things come to those who wait.)
HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS.

Think this one might be a bit far fetched. 
He has consistently spent blocks of time in a few clubs both at NHL and AHL level illustrating he has not been traded (except to get called up to NHL), and is still near the top of his game.That stability/consistency would indicate he has a good chance of continuing at AHL level next year. He was Alternate Captain at Albany and played a majority of games last season.
Unless he is going to be on an MBA uni deal, why would he leave North America when still playing at AHL level? :?

Thommo did say he had an offer out to a defenceman with a serious number of NHL games and was 50:50 about getting him
Where has Finner said we're not on a wage cap? Not heard anything up here other than PR saying we are on the same money as you.
I have a feeling Globke and Clark are meant to be on 2 year deals. Could be wrong there though

The Ben Simon to Coventry rumour has been denied by Simmsy. I can't believe that one ever had any legs.
For some reason the Davison one seems more possible, as unlikely as it sounds. Thommo mentioned talks with an ex NHL defenceman and whilst he is clearly still a solid AHL player, his NHL are likely to be behind him so given the choice of long road trips across North America or a nice cushy life in the UK, perhaps it isn't as stupid as it first appears :?

But the money would, I guess, be a bigger motivator.
Yes, easier life - but a player like Rob has had limited (by NHL standards) earning potential, so will probably look to maximise his pot. I guess any player would.
I would be shocked if he came to the UK without at the very least trying the AHL or even the higher paid European leagues.

Speculation that 1 or 2 of the ex-Blaze import defencemen (Lee, Smith) might end up at the Panthers to complete their D corps...with Jon Schwarz, Chris Zarb and Jeremy Van Hoof also on the list.
Wouldn't it be fantastic to see Jon Landry, Jon Gleed or Mike Burgoyne as the Devils' final import defenceman? :shock:
