Someone tell me how to feel.
I thought Walsh was a decent prospect, but I get that he’s older now and has been probably passed over by a number of our younger higher regarded prospects.
Well I guess that answers where Walsh is on our depth chart
Well, I called it in another thread last week that he may be traded to Boston. It just made sense being that he was blocked in NJ and I remember speculation he was going to graduate from Harvard and sign with the Bruins before the pandemic cancelled the season during his senior year at Harvard.
This makes me sad. I really wanted Walsh to get a fair chance but it seemed like it was never going to happen. Blogs and podcasts barely even mentioned him.
Now who the hell is this Bowers kid?
Barring a miracle we’ll most likely never see Bowers here just like Walsh with the depth on D.
I think that’s a horrible trade. Could never have enough defensive depth especially at the right side. Rare fitz L
How the fuck has Bowers wiki page already been updated?
This was expected. Our AGM the other day [dropped a huge hint](https://www.nj.com/devils/2023/06/devils-prospect-reilly-walsh-could-be-traded-early-next-season-assistant-gm-says.html?outputType=amp) that Reilly Walsh’s time with NJ was coming to a close.
Yeah Walsh isnt a make or break piece for us but what the fuck is that trade lol? Not great value, unless we felt for some reason that we needed to get Walsh out of the organization.
got passed by nemec and casey on the depth chart and they’re doing right by giving the kid a fair chance. don’t mind the move, he didn’t have a future here
A guy who wasn’t going to play here for another guy who wasn’t going to play here. Shrug
dont love this. really liked walsh as a prospect…would’ve preferred to trade him for some picks or something
This is certainly a trade of all-time.
Absolutely no room for Walsh nowadays with the emergence of Dahl and drafting of Nemec. Would’ve liked to give him more of a chance in the NHL than he got the past few years, but nothing we can do about it now. Best of luck to him
Why would the Devils instagram even write “TRADE ALERT” in all caps on the post if this boring shit is the trade
This is kind of a shame but he was getting boxed out. The pipeline is pretty flush on RHD talent right now. Can’t keep them all.
Explain in Diablo 4 please?
