For a player who was a key component in the Buffalo Sabres lineup, his move to the New Jersey Devils has been quite disappointing.
For a defender like Tallinder to put on a Devils' jersey, there were high expectations. But this season has shown that this was not a good move for New Jersey. Tallinder's numbers aren't terrible, but they're far from those of previous years. To make matters worse, he's clashed with other Devils blue liners.
This move has clearly been one that did not work for either the team or the individual.
I copied this from a Bleacher Report written by Liz Brownstein. I'd have linked it but it really isn't an article, just a slideshow. She mentions one player form each team that she thinks would benefit from a change of scenery. I've no idea if she's credible or not, I just found it interesting.
What would you think of trying to get Tallinder back? Would he be worthwhile, and who do you think Jersey would want for him? Would his return help Myers?
And what do you think she means saying that he has "clashed" with other Devils blueliners?
