[The 29th Pick]

He's a lot of hairs shy.

oh no you didn't !

 

[Khione]

Great deal! And only 5 years. Its perfect!

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

I've ragged on Lou a lot in the past but he was tremendous this summer. I really can't complain about anything. Yea, it would have been to have Fayne back but its time for the kids to get a chance. Every other signing and resigning was great, in my mind.

 

[Devs4life]

Greene resigning with the Devils
Lukaku staying with Everton

Good Day Indeed

 

[Emperoreddy]

5x5. Ya that is a great deal. Can't complain at all. Excellent move Lou.

 

[Bcap88]

Safe to say Andy took the hometown discount

 

[NJDevs26]

wow what a steal

Well yeah a steal considering some dope probably would have given him 6-36 in FA.

Andy already showed the last time he was loyal when he stayed off our worst season in 20 years despite being offered more money elsewhere. I'm glad we stepped to the plate early and decisively this offseason.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

Greene is going to make less than Orpik, lol. That is an outstanding deal.

 

[Emperoreddy]

With some of the drunk contracts handed out this summer for D...ya I agree. He could of made at least 6 per on the open market for similar term.

Andy Greene's extension with the #devils is worth $25M over five years.

That's a pretty great deal right there.

That is less money and less years than expected. Great deal.

And Lou has finally learned from his past mistakes which also means we have less to worry about next offseason.

Lou's Offseason:

1) Get the 30th pick in the draft
2.) Clear the log jam on D
3.) got rid of one of Salvador/volcehnkov
4.) Signed Cammalleri,Havlat
5.) Re signed cory a LTC
6.) Signed Andy to LTC

Cons:
1.Let fayne walk (Cant really complain with the younger kids getting a chance)

Overall tremendous off season for Lou

 

[Classic Devil]

Sheer thievery.

 

[MadDevil]

Cory signed. Greene signed. Logjam cleared. Scoring added. I'd call that a pretty good offseason.

 

[Bcap88]

Greene is going to make less than Orpik, lol. That is an outstanding deal.

A year less and 500 k less than Girardi also and don't even get me started on niskanin

 

[Emperoreddy]

And Lou has finally learned from his past mistakes which also means we have less to worry about next offseason.

We have almost nothing to worry about next offseason as far as players leaving go. Everyone important is locked up. Only the old men and the plugs (Brunner, Ryder) coming off the books next year.

Lars contract too, but he is still a RFA so really Lou has finally given us an offseason with no worries of talent leaving.

 

[Bcap88]

With everyone important locked up next off season, Depending on who we bring back I would love for Lou to make a run at Bobby Ryan next off season. I fully believe Ownership has given him the keys and said Go have fun unlike with Vanderbeek

 

[Chessarmy]

Very nice deal - I'd love to see Greene get the "C" at some point in his career.

They have about $46 million in cap committed to twelve players next year with Andy, only two of whom are defensemen. Depending on how much the cap goes up (or not) they'll have to allocate some money on defense besides Andy. I'm not sure how much that will leave for up front.

...and the dust cleared. the only remnants of the Lou Resistance consisted of a quietly smoldering effigy in the town square, which hadn't been visited in weeks.

indeed. there was hope yet for peter deboer, crouched on his rooftop as the keyboard crusaders waived their pitchforks. indeed.

 

[Devilswede]

Great deal for both sides. Lou has done a great job indeed this summer.

yeah it would've been nice to keep Fayne around,
also signing Carter over Bernier would've been good by me (this can still play-out though)

 

[Pattysaurus]

Awesome deal. Give him the C.

 

[Chessarmy]

Great deal for both sides. Lou has done a great job indeed this summer.

I think ownership must have played a much bigger role in Lou's past offseasons than we thought. This has been one of the better summers I've seen in a long, long time.

 

[tycobb]

Sheer thievery.

I thought Lou was going to give him at least 6 million. Some of these undrafted guys are really loyal.
