GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[Antiillafire]

Is the 3v3 tournament going to be streamed?

 

[Dialamo]

Is Vin Diesel the GM of Columbus? Maybe that's what Johnny meant by it being a family matter.

 

[devilsfan35]

How do they expect to sign laine lol

 

[Patrik26]

NHL tonight guys say the Isles are much closer and a better fit. Grimson said that another small guy up front isn't what we need to win playoff hockey so the Isles might look like they could compete. Don't kill the messenger.

Grimson hates the Devils going back to being on the losing side of the '95 Cup.

How do they expect to sign laine lol

Its rumored hes available

 

[Devils090]

Agent putting out BS to drive up offer. Fitz should tell whoever it is to kick rocks

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Good old classic move, have a 3rd team randomly show up hours later…

It’s like a WWE event.

Jarmo is the third man

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

If I was CBJ I’d take Johnny at 12 over whatever shit ass contract Laine is due for. Plus they can get some assets for him.

 

[jkrdevil]

Even that wasn’t actually a lock considering he later said there was a 5PM deadline put on the Isles making a new offer. I think he needs to learn what a lock is

There is no deadline from the Islanders. We know Lou “if there is time, use it” doesn’t operate that way.

 

[JrFischer54]

Even that wasn’t actually a lock considering he later said there was a 5PM deadline put on the Isles making a new offer. I think he needs to learn what a lock is

Did say 5pm it’s 512 and news coming out.

 

[Patrik26]

I'd call palat's agent now anyway.

Better yet, keep JGs agent on the phone and conference Palat's agent in.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Very cool and legit how just a few minutes before 5pm, which was rumored to be the deadline for a decision between NJ and NYI, every insider suddenly gets information about this crazy left field mega offer from the most irrelevant team in the conference making a supposed dark horse play.

 

[Traitor Zach]

No way I give Gaudreau 12m. Not even 11m.

I'd take Palat on a shorter term deal, lock up Bratt and keep enough flexibility to foray into the UFA pool again over next two offseasons.

 

[Unknown Caller]

I mean $1.5-2 million more per year is a pretty significant number, maybe a little less so when you take out agent fees, taxes and escrow, but still a shit ton of money. Invest that $1.5 million extra per year over 7 years at about 10% interest and see what you'll have in 20 years. That's a hard offer to pass up if it's legit.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

CBJ offered $12M AAV?

**** that in both ears.

Go enjoy Columbus. Lmao.

Tell him you’re out by signing Palat.

...just kidding, but I am aggravated.

 

[NJDevs26]

It's just so annoying every other damn team in this division has to be all-in, all the time. Why can't we have at least one Arizona or a Buffalo in our division? Hell we've BEEN that for too long.

 

[Devils090]

I wouldn’t even go to 11, 10.5 and that’s it

If he doesn’t want it then go get Palat

 

[JrFischer54]

Didn’t see a 12 million offer coming. Devils offer is better then the isles that much I know. Was right about 5pm

Yeah I want Johnny but Noway I go above 11. That’s the cut off point.

 

[EnglishDevil]

They can't afford both Gaudreau & Laine, if Columbus wants to ridiculously overpay for JG then we should trade for Laine.

 

[Csonked Out]

Johnnys agent is trying a last second Hail Mary it appears lol

 

[billingtons ghost]

Grimson hates the Devils going back to being on the losing side of the '95 Cup.

That makes sense.

 

[devilsfan35]

You absolutely cannot pay Johnny gaudreau as much as mcdavid. That’s stupid

 

[Devilsfan118]

Best of luck to JG if he truly has 7 x 12M on the table in Columbus.

He'd be a fool to leave that money there.

 

[MauDevils]

At this point you have to stop playing his game or you risk us walking out of this without improving our team at all.

 

[BahlDeep]

I would honestly not go a penny over 10M.

We have a great team, if this dude wants to go to the Isles for a bit more or Colombus for way more, good luck to him.
