Buffalo will be desperate, they just put Tuch on IR and Dahlin is day to day. They really want to add but I have to think they’d focus on Chychrun and possibly a goalie like Talbot.
I’m sure Buffalo would love timo but man, they have half a defense even when everybody is healthy.

They need help elsewhere.

Because Tom is a leaker. Obviously we didn’t experience this under Lou. Though Kovalchuk deal leaked (both trade and contract) a little before the deal.

This doesn't much to do with Fitzgerald IMO. The Devils were rumored to be in on Cammalleri in 2014, Zidlicky to NJ in 2012 had huge traction, Kovalchuk obviously - this is just the media world now. Horvat to NYI wasn't out of nowhere. There's more stuff floating around now.

That trade was fun. I think Marek literally said to Minnesota "You're going to trade me to NJ and nowhere else"

or Graves.
or Vanecek.
or Palat signing.

the only one I can think of is Hamilton.

Friedman had us being in on Palat the day before free agency opened. So that bolsters his point. I just think that teams can't keep this stuff quiet anymore. There were no rumors about the Islanders in UFA and guess what, they didn't sign anyone.

I don't know if I would say they're desperate, they're like us in that our windows are just begun to open.

Also, most of this information has come from other teams that dropped out of the negotiations rather than Fitzy. You’ve gotten almost nothing around the specifics of what the Devils are offering or where things stand from their perspective.

I don’t really care about a late 1st given how awesome our prospect pool is.

How exactly is Holtz going to score +30 when the top-6 wingers are locked in as Bratt, Meier, Mercer, and Palat in the top-6?
Was Holtz the potential 30 goal scorer in that post?

If Holtz was a legit 30 goal scorer this deal is made already.

True, we have very little idea what the Devils are even offering. Just that the Sharks wanted Mercer and obviously that didn't and won't happen.

I was being a little facetious with the Tom is a leaker stuff. I do think the organization has a wider decision making core and the more people who know stuff then more stuff gets out.
