GDT: 2024 Free Agency - July 1st - 12 P.M.

[Cheddabombs]

Gonna have to trade the Hughes bros to make room for all these free agents!

 

[Andre Palot]

 well we can't sign both of them lmfao

Who the f*** is this guy…the bio says one of the Chicklets

he's the producer of spittin chiclets. Of all the Chiclets guys he is probably the least connected. But 'least' is subjective, he's good friends with several current and former players. Is always in pictures with guys around the league out at bars/etc.

Knows way more than we do. Way less than actual insiders.

 

[youryeah]

I really do not trust anything kevin weekes posts' anymore when he does his "hints"

 

[ndkjr70]

lmao if we don't sign Pesce and just load up on 32 year old forwards.

I really do not trust anything kevin weekes posts' anymore when he does his "hints"

I am also way out on weekes.

BREAKING: Devils draft Bronny James

 

[OmNomNom]

all i know is fitz has to have multiple things going

He just knows our fans would drive his engagement crazy rumoring us for Stamkos.

Also "in the race for..." is such a vague statement. It's right up there with Friedman and his "I wonder if...".

 

[Davegarri]

f*** it, just sign everyone and worry about it later. Future is now!

 

[regulahbread]

The cap isn't real anyway, just sign everyone you can

 

[Blender]

Cap space is just a concept. GO GO GO GO.

Potentially maybe possibly something could likely happen it feels like if I'm reading the tea leaves...

 

[Saugus]

How the hell is Fitz planning to fit all these guys?!

 

[AfroThunder396]

AFPA has Marchessault projected at 3 years / 6.3M AAV. If that's accurate:

6.125 (Pesce) + ~6.3 (March) would leave us like ~5.5-6M in space to re-sign Mercer and add a LD. Pretty doable.

 

[The Grinder]

Grennell is one of the “other guys” on the Chiclets podcast but he does have some player sources I am sure. That sounds probable.

Stamkos might be a back up.

 

[Andre Palot]

Get ready for it to be like war of the worlds in here until noon

 

[MadDevil]

Don't worry about his cap.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

It would be difficult to be worse than last year, but all this turnover might make this year tough too.

the 11-12 season was pretty hairy for a couple months, too

 

[Devils Army]

A long term deal for March would be bad even though he's a good player. Please don't do anything rash Fitz

 

[TheUnseenHand]

the 11-12 season was pretty hairy for a couple months, too

And no Cup, and it got ugly after that...

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

And no Cup, and it got ugly after that...

yeah but that team was structured way more like the current Penguins than the current Devils

 

[Zacha37]

Marchessault seems like the type of player who would age well but hopefully it isn’t anything more than 3 years

I take a 40 goal scorer at 6.3 all day.

 

[Devils Trap]

We needed a right handed shot for the PP
