GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[NJDevs26]

Again why do people think Columbus would trade us Laine when they're now in the win-now sweepstakes? Their asking price is gonna be like Mercer or Bratt, screw that.

Gaudreau ends up with a division rival that appears to be going nowhere? Fine with me. He didn't end up on Long Island which would've been annoying. Here, I still just don't know about the fit, Fitz goes and says he wants to add size and then goes after Gaudreau? I think you've just got to make a low offer and hope he wants to come close to home. No reason to outbid anybody.

 

[The Grinder]

He didn’t want to come here. Simple as that.

And overall he was not the Flame I was interested in.

Feel bad for Calgary fans though.

 

[beekay414]

Good. Now focus on going to get Tkachuk. He's a better fit and fits the timeline much, much better.

 

[R8Devs]

lol love a good plot twist, i thought he was going to NYI based on how quiet things were but this is extra funny

 

[Derps]

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

I hear Columbus is real nice this time of year. Can't compete with that.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This feels like a goal line fumble. I don't think we offered him $10 million.

 

[Offseason Champs]

I'm shocked he's going to Columbus. Good luck there, I guess. He can play alongside superstars like Gustav Nyquist and Oliver Bjorkstrand and the ghost of Jakub Voracek. At least he can spend the first four years of the deal playing in front of Erik Gudbranson. Seriously baffling but whatever.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

GIVE ME LAINE!

Puke. Guy’s a floater with a good shot. Do not want.

 

[Xirik]

Maybe his wife can transfer there from her job more easier there? or his parents have a Cabin in the Woods nearby?

 

[NJDevils#4]

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

As an Eagles fan…don’t ever mention that again

 

[Captain3rdLine]

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.

I’m not making a blind bet. I actually have no clue and am fine admitting that.

You didn’t put 2 and 2 together. You came up with your own random assumption

 

[njdevils1982]

22 years for Columbus and this might be the most relevant they've ever been.

I've said this before, we're the only team that seems to make them look GREAT.

Other than that one FLUKE win over Tampa, their only playoff series win in their history.

like i've said before the great f***ing decievers

 

[MasterofGrond]

Maybe my dude is just tired of the limelight and even the devils are in too much of a media market for him taste

Or maybe he’s scared of the ‘offs

 

[Sgt Brylin]

Johnny small market Hockey.

 

[Wierzbowski426]

Shrug

I'm not all that upset lol. He's a filthy flyers fan to boot.

Hes small, soft, and doesn't show up in the playoffs. We already have enough of the first 2.

He would be fun to watch though for sure.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Good. Now focus on going to get Tkachuk. He's a better fit and fits the timeline much, much better.

If JG didn't want to play here then Chucky will really not want to play here as he will have many more suitors.

 

[Offseason Champs]

I wonder if Fitz got out of it when that bs 12m rumor started. Like okay go enjoy Ohio then Johnny. Bye.

 

[mdj12784]

Puke. Guy’s a floater with a good shot. Do not want.

Let me have my dream!

 

[Bcap88]

Guess he can be closer to home during the long off season

 

[New Jersey Devils]

What a kick in the dick to Flames fans.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I’m not making a blind bet. I actually have no clue and am fine admitting that.

You didn’t put 2 and 2 together. You came up with your own random assumption

None of that is random lol. It’s the observable facts. If you want to hide behind “well we can’t know for sure”, that’s your prerogative, I don’t mind.

 

[Devils090]

If we don’t get Palat and Nino Fitz’s ass bettter be on fire

 

[The Wumpus]

Interesting that NONE of the "insiders" mentioned Columbus until about an hour ago

 

[Lou is God]

This has been a pretty rough summer for us so far, lets face it, I mean we had our sights on Slaf, only to be cockblocked by the Habs....and now this.
