GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[severian]

Gimme 10.26m and an announcement that he'll wear 26 and has evolved into his final form.

Wear 26? You sure you’re a Devils fan?

 

[Patrik26]

Each year, this is the most exciting day of the non-game news. It's also the most exasperating.

WTF?

Hmm youre right, itll probably be retired right?

Maybe?

 

[My3Sons]

If the NYI are below 10 I'd park the offer at 10 with a favorable structure and he can say yes or no.

someday maybe lol

I apologize for I have sinned

Or how the AAV will be laid out and NMCs are being hashed out.

It always takes a little time (into the evening) for the headline free agent. They don’t have to scramble to get their seat like other players

 

[theoptimist]

Pagnotta reporting on NHL network its believed the Devils are offering above 10 million while Lou is below 10 million and he doesn't want to go any higher.

The difference is my mortgage

Pretty much. Hold up might be his agent seeing if he can push someone closer to 11. If he won't take 10 from us then good luck.

 

[MauDevils]

Maybe?

I'd say the chances are pretty good...

True. I see no reason to be doom abd gloom about this. We should have the inside track.

 

[Hisch13r]

The Islanders beat writer for the Athletic and NHL Network is nobody?

lol I remember last year when even after it was said Dougie was coming here he would go on about how it could fall through. I don't think he'd believe anything until the guy is on the ice in a game.

 

[Devils090]

Yeah don’t go anywhere near 11, stand firm at 10-10.5. Lou isn’t going higher than that.

 

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

Picked up my kids from hockey camp and was hoping to come back to good news...
I guess more waiting.

 

[MVP Zacha]

I hate when wahipped cream is pronounced wipped.

it's pronounced "hwhipped" like Hwill Hwheaton.

Relax we got him

 

[BananaGenetics]

Theres gotta be some graph that can be drawn up for the correlation between Johnny Gaudreau becoming a Devil and the lowering of tax and interest rates, right? Maybe property value will rise?

If a scholastic textbook can make one for the relation of pirate smuggling off the coast of Africa and orange sales in the US, then Ill be damned if we cant. Murphy may already be on the phone with Gaudreau as we speak

I'd say the chances are pretty good...

I had to double down for my own ignorance

Its been a long three hours. Thats all Ive got.

 

[HersheyBob27]

If it was truly about family then why make his family commute to LI to see him play. That’s dreadful. So much easier going to Newark.

The islanders new rink has got to be a selling point. He is coming from a crappy rink and honestly Prudential centre is really sketchy

 

[Emperoreddy]

Lou's ship isn't that tight. The Zach and Palm signings were leaked weeks in advance.

If the Isles pulled ahead there would be a report saying so because someone on our side would leak it

 

[Devs3cups]

Relax we got him

Man… I sure hope you’re right.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Prudential centre is really sketchy

LMFAO

 

[Emperoreddy]

Relax we got him

Was it you that called our lotto win?

 

[AfroThunder396]

I think the hold up is just salary structure like it was for Dougie. I'm not worried. This will be done in the next few hours.

Just look at where the players enter and exit before and after games.

 

[TrufleShufle]

It was.
