Pete Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 What a shame for the team that was going to run away with the Metro because there's so much better than the Rangers, according to Ranger fans everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 That is a huge, huge blow. Depending on the severity of the tear, he can be out anywhere from 4-6 weeks at best or 3-4 months at worst. Either way, bad break for the Devils. Hughes may get the spotlight but Hamilton is right up there with him as far as importance goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I hate that sweater more than any other but I don't want to see guys get hurt. That's too bad for him but I hope that team tanks to the bottom of the league. Hope for a speedy recovery for the guy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you aren't coming back from surgery in a matter of weeks. Typical duration for recovery is 4-6 months but for a young healthy athlete he might be able to return sometime in February barring any setbacks.

RangersIn7 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 This loss, on top of having lost Graves in free agency and the trade of Severson really hurts an already thin and inexperienced blue line. This could sink them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Their Defense is pretty poor at moving the puck and clearing the zone. Hamilton was probably their best at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) With both of their goalies playing so inconsistently, and now this injury, I think the risk of them missing the playoffs could be a reality Edited December 2, 2023 by Karan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Hate seeing the guy or any guy suffer a severe injury but he couldn't find the DZ with a compass the last couple years. Somewhere along the way I think he decided he didn't need to play defense, probably after signing that big deal. His effort some games was downright embarrassing. Big part of why they've struggled if you follow some of the stuff on their board. Having no defensive D and 2 sieves is a big problem. huh, too bad.

RichieNextel305 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Appears he will be out for the remainder of the regular season. That is a massive blow for a Devils team that has been very uneven this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always going to be optimistic returning for the end of the season. Might as well shut it down until next season and let him recovery properly.

Everyone overlooked the fact that they lost Graves and Severson. Two guys that played great for them last year and soaked up huge minutes. Talked them up cause of all the speed and skill they have in that forward group. And overestimated their goaltending. Lots of hockey left, but they just lost their best defenseman. They’re feeling the loss of the other 2 cause they can’t replace those minutes. And their 2 goalies have been below average. Pretty sure they’re fucked.

RichieNextel305 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 As bad as I don’t want to see them trade for someone like Gibson, who would solve a huge problem they have in net, I don’t think it vaults them into contender status. I watched tonight, and that team defensively is just lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they’re playing two kids back there now, in Hughes and Nemec, who are both very gifted, but very inexperienced and deficient defensively.

Valriera Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It will never happen but I would be thinking about offering up someone like Schneider for one of the devils’ talented middle six group. Schneider where he is is a luxury and someone like Dawson Mercer would make our third line look a lot more sane if chytil is not coming back contract doesn’t work but that’s the idea, even though rivalry trades hardly ever happen. Both teams well positioned to help each other in this case tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
