GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

Has Pagnotta actually broken anything? Ever?

Did any of the Outsiders have Columbus last night?

 

[Devilsfan118]

I def didn’t. I failed you all

Weird though wonder if he would’ve took less then jackets to play for flyers?

Man I'm not gonna lie I kinda hate you right now.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

If Fitz offered more and JG still choose Columbus, then I can't blame Fitz.

You got to think NJ could of gone up to 10.5m.

Anyway time to sign Neiderreiter and call it a day. We have been productive today by upgrading the 3C position. Just need another top 6 winger in Nino, get Bratt re-signed and the rest of the RFAs re-signed. The opening roster will then be set.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yes, involved in the biggest free agent two years in a row. Definitely just picking our noses and not trying.

LOL involved…what award do we get for that?

 

[BMOK33]

Then why not re-sign in Calgary today like Stamkos did with Tampa?

Its possible they pulled any offer...some teams have done that before with UFAs if they turn down the 8 plus offer they are done and they won't offer 7

 

[BananaGenetics]

Tarasenko is available, Necas is available. Tkachuk might become available. At the deadline, Patty Kane and Pastrnak may be available. Miller is just another name on that list.

My plan now would be to sign both Palat and Niederreiter and then plot the next move.

Palat does nothing for me

Niederreiter would be a good signing. Bigger frame and can score 25

 

[Traitor Zach]

No, you just lied and made stuff up on a hamster-supported hockey forum. Not a criminal offense. But you are headed to my ignore/block list permanently.

 

[EnglishDevil]

It's quite possible he simply didn't want to join us given that he is a Flyers fan.

Also, even if we offered slightly more money isn't the state tax rate in Ohio considerably less than in NJ? The after tax difference may not have been that significant.

 

[Devil made me do it]

Best outcome for the team. Fitz should be heavily focused on free agency next season once Luke and Nemec are called up. Target players from cap tight teams. Bring balance to the bottom six. Don't overpay for players that are past their prime. Draft a stud forward or two. Just keep sailing the steady ship and don't make moves for the sake of making moves.

I’d be interested in Necas.

 

[Devilsfan118]

f*** it. Give Kadri that money.

No, God no please no.

Although giving an aging 2C 8M+ after passing on a future 1C in the draft because of our depth at the position would be very on-brand for Fitz.

 

[SKNJD9]

Dude probably just doesn't like North Jersey/ new York.

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

Ma

Hes a physical player whos already 32

Idk about all that

Maybe you will end up with your JT Miller after all.

 

[Slasher72]

Gaudreau wanted no part of the Devils. He probably dislikes the organization, or thinks we're a mess with Ruff, or didnt want to live in NJ again.

 

[severian]

Dude probably just doesn't like North Jersey/ new York.

This is what I’m thinking. But man he must really hate Calgary.

 

[JrFischer54]

Man I'm not gonna lie I kinda hate you right now.

Lol yeah I mean I heard what the devils offer was compared to the isles and figured it was all about money. Guess it’s not who would’ve known he would take less. My bad

 

[MadDevil]

LOL involved…what award do we get for that?

Nothing? I guess it's just better to piss and moan everytime somebody chooses not to sign with us.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I have little to no interest in:

Miller
Kadri
Palat

This is given what they are going to be paid or what it will take to aquire them

 

[SKNJD9]

I'll take Palat. Couldn't care either way about the rest of the ufa crop left

 

[Unknown Caller]

Honestly not even worth it to spend money on what’s left. Just pack it in for the summer and roll with what we have.

 

[The Wumpus]

Big picture: it's really not that weird that one of the worst teams in the league didn't sign the top free agent two summers in a row

 

[Forge]

Well in theory we can overpay to secure palat ? Lol

I'm expecting to give him like a 6x6 deal or something

 

[MauDevils]

Now just stay the course. No knee jerk reactions. Just some good, short deals and regroup at the deadline.

 

[BananaGenetics]

Ma

Maybe you will end up with your JT Miller after all.

I figured now that Gaudreau is done it must be in serious contention

Especially if talks have already been had

But if we are doing that its gotta be soon, otherwise just sign Niederreiter or settle for Palat.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Honestly not even worth it to spend money on what’s left. Just pack it in for the summer and roll with what we have.

Yep, no interest in any of the remaining dross. Stay the course and hopefully our kids will take a step forward, save the money for UFA next year.
