Post-Game Talk: Another day, another Devils loss (NJ gets blanked by EDM 4-0)

At this point Hall may be lucky to get Hischiers contract

Nah, he's going to get his money. Whether it's with us or somebody else remains to be seen.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We should definitely just embrace the Oilers of the East role and hire a bunch of ex-players to replace our management and coaching staff now.

I think Stevens is a good assistant but we need a real HC. My money is still on it being Bruce

I don’t think a true contender pays him. He will take the money from a team a step down like Zach did.

I agree. Sakic is the only one with the juice, and he's smarter than that. I guess we'll get to see if Hall cares about winning as much as he claims.

Didn't he get hired within days of getting fired before? Would be funny to see it happen again.

Various loser talk:

"I thought it was more a 50/50 game than the scoreboard said it was. When they had opportunities they put the puck in the net and we had some real good looks and opportunities but the puck didn't get in the net."

"You're here to win games and when you play well enough to have a chance, it's tough. But we lost by four. Maybe it wasn't that close, maybe it just felt like it but I thought we played much better tonight."

"I thought we deserved better in the second but that's on us. We need to continue to improve and get better."

In Boston? What would he leave?

I think he's referring to Boudreau.

Someone is going to want to make a splash and will offer him big money. Canadians are desperate for a star winger for example though I am not sure they can make the cap work.

I just don’t see the teams in the best position handing out that contest. Definitely not Colorado.

Renting him for a cup run is a different story.

 

[Nubmer6]

OMG, the fire trail & the blue puck, hopefully whoever created that died a horrible death.

I actually worked with the guy who invented that.

Funny story... we were out grabbing a bite when the waitress overheard us talking about that.

She made him scribble out a written apology on a napkin for her BF.

 

[Blackjack]

I think he's referring to Boudreau.

Derp.

 

[JimEIV]

Hall is injury prone and if I were him I'd take as much as I could get from anyone who was willing to pay. I don't see Hall as a guy that can be an effective older player. Just my opinion.

 

[NJDevs26]

Or he pulls a Hossa and takes a cheap one-year deal somewhere on a contender with cap issues lol

 

[MadDevil]

Oh god, it just occured to me that Hayden and/or Tennyson will probably be back in now.

Hall will eclipse $7M, but I 100% believe he's seriously hurt himself financially with the disappearance of his goal-scoring.

I think $11M is out-of-the-question now, $10M I think is doubtful, something like $8.5M to $9.5M I think is more realistic.

 

[Blackjack]

Tennyson for sure. I think Rooney gets back in before Hayden though.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Vats is most likely concussed so Tennyson is definitely back.

Yeah, he overplayed his hand. Shero probably would have given him $10 million a year in the offseason, although maybe not without seeing his knee first.

 

[JimEIV]

A one year deal is too much risk for a guy that has played more than 70 games 4 times in 10 years.

A GM will offer $10. It just won’t be a contender.

 

[MadDevil]

Tennyson for sure. I think Rooney gets back in before Hayden though.

I actually don't mind Rooney that much. He's kind of a net even player, which is fine for the 4th line.

 

[Emperoreddy]

He can’t do that with his knee and injury history. His agent should be fired if he allowed that.

I knew I shouldn't have joked about a Mueller/Tennyson pairing...

 

[Blackjack]

I okay with Rooney, there's just no one on the roster that I want to take out, which is weird for a team I'm so upset at right now.

You know what? Rooney in for Hall!

 

[JimEIV]

The amount is less important than the term with Hall...I wouldn't want to give him more than 5 years.
