GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[Jersey Fresh]

Maybe he just didn't wanna sign w us

There’s a lot more here for him, competitively and otherwise, than Columbus. I can say with 95% certainty we just didn’t come up with the money.

 

[Hisch13r]

Time to kick the tires on Tarasenko

We are not in the position to be giving up assets for a rental.

 

[Lou is God]

Not how I saw this ending.....

Around 3pm I started fearing an unknown team would come out of nowhere and scoop him up, that's always seems to be the case.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Can we get laine lol

At least he'd fit with our timeline / age group far better than Gaudreau. Not 100% sold on Laine as a player but he'd add goals.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Just read the great news on Twitter!

 

[Seachd]

Something fishy about the whole thing

Such as?

 

[OmNomNom]

On the bright side of it all, we now have our third gm in the Metropolitan division that does not know how to properly rebuild a team and will be stuck in mediocrity for the forseeable future.

Gaudreau would've been a good get, but wasn't a must have at all costs at the end of the day - let's see what happens

 

[MadDevil]

Oh well, on to the next target.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Nino Nied I guess now?

 

[SKNJD9]

Truth is none of us have no clue

No you really can’t say that with any cartainity because you don’t actually know anything.

If anything there was reports saying we we’re offering over 10M

 

[NJDevs26]

Maybe but I'm tired of looking for excuses...and now we're gonna be competing with the f***ing Isles for Palat, lovely

I'm talking about Jarmo incase you thought I was talking about Fitz

 

[Devs3cups]

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I don't have any words, this reminds me of Nnamdi Asomugha to the Eagles from 2011.

 

[Patrik26]

It makes zero sense. Why leave the extra year and $10 million offered by Calgary?

Because he didn't want to play there and apparently not in Newark either,

 

[Cheddabombs]

lmao all that for Columbus, laameee

Oh well, we move. In Fitzy I trust

 

[NJDevs26]

The same reports that had Columbus offering $12? I'm not gonna believe shit Fitz leaks at this point.

 

[captainscott12]

I’m not even bothered.

Never thought it was the right move for the team anyways, but what do I know.

i agree if you look at this roster.... i feel like it wasn't the right fit. i for one will admit i wanted it to happen but I'm not crying in my soup over this.

 

[Hisch13r]

Yeah sure man. Just like reports were Columbus offered 12

 

[mdj12784]

GIVE ME LAINE!

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

We're like 12 minutes from his house. He stated he wanted to be close to home. The final accepted offer was less than 10 million to be at a place not close to his home. You don't need to be Sherlock to put it all together.

You go out and you get the guy. He didn't do it. Stop the Fitz simping. This is embarrassing.

What are you supposed to do if the guy doesn’t want to come here?

 

[MadDevil]

Not to pat my own back but I did say I'd laugh if a team nobody was talking about signed him.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Gonna be honest, I love Johnny and wish we had signed him

However, maybe now we can find some too 6 size

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Hey, I’m just putting 2 and 2 together and making a call.

I feel way more comfortable making my blind bet than yours. Am I an oracle that knows for sure? Of course not.
