GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[NJDevs26]

I wonder if guys on the team like Jack and Dougie are just like us wondering what the deal is, refreshing a bumch

Hopefully Dougie's in full recruit mode

NHL network on Sirius XM pooping all over NJ, the team and fans. Saying it’s a no brained to go to the islanders.

Stupid

Bratt with another holdout is very annoying..

There's no doubt in my mind that Philly is trying to move heaven and earth to make the space available, regardless of what we've heard about Philly being out, and Johnny and his agent know this. You've got two offers, easily distinguishable between the two to be able to make a decision and you still haven't yet. You've got two offers out there that tells Philly exactly what they'll need to get rid of in order for him to sign there.
.
He's waiting on Philly.

 

[devlzfan]

Prepare to be disappointed Devils fans. Only silver lining is Palat and Niederreiter haven't signed yet.

 

[MasterofGrond]

not having signed by day 1 of FA is not a hold out

 

[NJDevs26]

BTW why the hell did the Devils have to have their development camp this week? I was considering going to the 3-on-3 or whatever it is they're having tonight but there's no way I'm going there while waiting on pins and needles wondering if we get JG/Palat/whomever.

 

[Csonked Out]

If Gaudreau is hemming and hawing to allow PHI to open the cap space I'd give him until the end of tonight to finish the contract and then move on. I'm sick of NJ being a team used by others.

They could just be figuring out the structure of the contract honestly. If I were him I would want it front loaded as much as possible per the CBA

 

[My3Sons]

So O'Neill is 46 according to google. He has a nice head of hair and the swagger that goes with being a former NHL player but good gravy, he's not rocking that earring. it's like the guy over 50 wearing the skinny suit with flood pants and no socks. At some point you just have to move on from your youth.

Why the hell would Philly sign two MORE guys today though if they were still actually in on Gaudreau?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Area surrounding the rink is not a good look . Fact

 

[Cheddabombs]

 

[Oneiro]

NYI, WAS, PIT, NYR, CAR - win now. PHI self immolating. CBJ have to draft and grind their way to get back.

With or without Gaudreau, you've gotta light up a cigar.

 

[OmNomNom]

area surrounding pru is def a little sketch


that being said, it's not like we're the only arena in a dangerous city - see Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, DC - all dangerous cities

 

[MasterofGrond]

he's the best free agent in the class, he's got multiple suitors, there's absolutely zero reason for him to rush to a decision. it's annoying but taking it as A SIGN or anything is a little too my filling pick up CIA transmissions.

maybe he signs with us, maybe he doesn't. don't try and divine meaning from the ether

 

[NjDevsRR]

Phillys arena is literally in the shithole shipyard outside of Philly on the city limits. Why doesn’t that matter?

Stereotypes blow.

What in the hell are you talking about?

Saw the same on the TSN coverage on ESPN+. Totally dissed the Vanecek trade as an improvement.

 

[BananaGenetics]

Hopefully Dougie's in full recruit mode

"Hey Johnny, its Dougie. Just wanted to let you know that the food here is awesome, and thankfully the winters arent nearly as cold. Also the reception over here is great with no dead spots"

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Area surrounding the rink is not a good look . Fact

The area is literally improving daily and outside of Penn Station (which no player will ever have to step foot in anyway) is as safe as it gets.

Also, midtown Manhattan blows, doesn't seem to stop anyone from signing there.

Because I’m pretty sure Johnny Hockey wore Flyers pajamas even while he played in Calgary.

If Gaudreau does not agree to an offer soon, the Devils should at least consider shifting gears and signing Palat and Niederreiter. Ship out Johnsson and Tatar and Ty Smith, and combined with the addition of Vanicek to stabilize the situation in goal, the Devils should be on the playoff bubble next year.

Not talking in regards of JG, just an example you never hear about.

 

[newjerseydamo]

As an Australian who's been to Newark for games many times, it ain't that bad.

Soft.
