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

[Zacha37]

Wish I didn’t already assume that Marchessault was on the team. Now i’m heartbroken lol

 

[Saugus]

I wouldn't have liked that deal.

That's pretty high. Guy is a good bottom 6 player but that money and term is a bit too high.

That's what happens in UFA though: add 1 year and $1M to whatever was actually reasonable.

 

[Billdo]

So we've got
Siegenthaler-Hamilton
Hughes-Pesce
???-Nemec

We need Dillon.

We have Dillon according to Weekes

Dillon is confirmed by Weekes.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Big no to that Trenin deal

 

[Devs3cups]

Losing out on Marchessault would sting, but imo getting Dillon/Pesce to round out the D-core is more important.

 

[Traitor Zach]

The leaks happen because a lot more than just insiders know these guys personally like the Chiclets/Empty Netters guys due to their podcasts, it is what it is in today's social media world with sports mixing lol

Its also them mucking it up to drive "engagement" and "clicks" and "tuning in". Thats how dollars get made.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Damn marchessault was exactly who I wanted too. Perfect fit for what the devils need

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I'm generally the alarmist here but I'm struggling to see why a tweek that said Nashville has emerged as contenders for Stammer and March that we 100% aren't getting either of them.

Didn’t even know who March was until today, let alone getting him on our team

 

[Guadana]

Marino, didn't step up for the Devils. He was too inconsistent especially when others were injured, he never stepped up.

I think he should play with bigger stopper. He is good defensively on the move. But Luke is the same type on D zone. So it was obvious Fitz should rethink the partner for Luke. It couldn't be Nemec now, it couldn't be Dougie ever.

Indeed, just go grab two middle 9 players and call it a day. They should be playoff in team next year and should be active at the deadline and wingers are usually widely available + they have 3 2nd's to trade for guys

I'm generally the alarmist here but I'm struggling to see why a tweek that said Nashville has emerged as contenders for Stammer and March that we 100% aren't getting either of them.

They have a ton of cap space to overpay both if they wanted. I don't want a bidding war for either

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

That's pretty high. Guy is a good bottom 6 player but that money and term is a bit too high.

The cap is going up as well.

We need to see what we are going to pay Pesce and Dillon or we might be saying the same thing about that Trenin deal...

The two who linked Marchessault to NJ, Grinnell from Chiclets and Dan Powers from some other podcast, both worded it like it was a done deal for Marchessault in Nashville. Stamkos on the other hand appears to be all smoke.

We were ahead on March, at the goal line. Now Preds swooped in and are likely to get him is what the report said.

[Emperoreddy]

We have the draft capital to go get a forward if we don't sign who we want and aren't satisfied with what's left

 

[Devils Trap]

Montour to Seattle - HOLY OVERPAY

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Francis will get fired for that Montour deal in 1-2 years, tops

 

[Saugus]

The term for Montour is absurd too. 7 years for a 30 year old?

He's not going to make it to the end of that contract.

 

[Better Call Sal]

That deal is horrendous lol.

 

[JrFischer54]

just when you think NJD are becoming a top UFA destination its taken away still happy with dillion and pesce if true. march would be great

 

[Blender]

Montour deal is gross.
