GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[mdj12784]

I’m at F that guy. Let him go.

 

[Classic Devil]

If he doesn't sign by 5:00 we should give up and just sign Palat.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Friedman also just said that he thinks Seattle and the Devils are in on Palat.

Palat is the backup plan

 

[BostonDevil]

In this case he is . No way Gaudreau goes to Columbus …. players fight to leave that place . But Johnny is going to choose to go there out of his pick if any team in the league ? No chance

Shades of Hall signing in Buffalo to win a Cup

 

[Nocashstyle]

Just stick to whatever price. Please no bidding war.

If it doesn’t work out, gimmie Palat plz.

 

[My3Sons]

not if you hide behind the shield of "going home"

In that world, they want their cake and to eat it too.

 

[NJDevs26]

If this guy legitimately chooses Columbus over us I'll be floored.

So will Calgary fans after his bullshit about family considerations

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Devils could go higher, his agents know this. It's all part of the game. Stay strong, throw him a face-saving bone if absolutely necessary.

let him go rot in Columbus. lol

(don't think that will happen 'cause I'd like to think Johnny himself would balk at going there but still....F his agent)

 

[Devs3cups]

@JrFischer54 said there was a deadline… it might be at 5.

 

[The Wumpus]

Seney

Kane wants to "wait and see how it goes" before requesting a trade...

 

[newjerseydamo]

We've been down that path of "it's all about the money" type players before.

If he doesn't want to play here for any other reason, move on.

 

[Classic Devil]

So will Calgary fans after his bullshit about family considerations

I wonder if Calgary would offer him a 7 year deal at this point, if all his near-home options fall apart.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Ok you are right it is a beautiful neighbour hood

If you're that unhappy with it you're welcome to head to the south side of Philly, redneck Long Island, or the homeless encampment that the garden has become.

Or perhaps the lovely city of Buffalo suits you better?

 

[mdj12784]

I’m over it dude. All about $$$ Let him fail elsewhere

 

[Emperoreddy]

Locked and loaded. Supposedly devils offer is better but gave islanders a “deadline” to exceed it. Devils are the ones in the driver seat. Maybe deadline is 5pm

Any idea on this Columbus stuff? Just a last minute ploy to get another 500K from us?

 

[devilsfan35]

Starting to think it’s not about family now

 

[Devil made me do it]

As bad as the contract offered would play out in later years, why would we want a player that isn't exactly trilled to join the Devils and is using the team as a trading chip?
Screw Gaudreau. Pull the plug and focus in improving the team in other ways.
This never felt right from the start.

 

[glenwo2]

@JrFischer54 said there was a deadline… it might be at 5.

It's now 4:44 pm EST ....tick tock....

 

[The Wumpus]

Lol at all these assumptions based on nothing but silence. These things take as long as they take. I'm going to the grocery store.

 

[Guttersniped]

Seney

Damn wanted Luke Philp for Utica.

 

[TrufleShufle]

Starting to think it’s not about family now

I mean getting out of Canada, if it's not philly, a couple hour in any direction isn't that big of a deal. Still all a lot closer.

 

[Lou is God]

Starting to think it’s not about family now

I'm starting to think there is a unknown team talking to his camp.

 

[jkrdevil]

Kane wants to "wait and see how it goes" before requesting a trade...

Smart on his part. Enter the season and see who is good first.

 

[BostonDevil]

Screw Gaudreau. Pull the plug and focus in improving the team in other ways.

While I agree, I think we’re all sort of guessing on how it’s playing out
