[Devs3cups]

[Captain3rdLine]

Hes like Plan D apparently. A lot of stuff would have had to gone wrong

Fair. Lets not tell him that in case it gets there

Or we can go the super fun route and get him PLUS another Top 6 Forward

If you can have someone like that on the 3rd line + 2nd PP, thats good depth

Limoncello

Phil Kessello?

 

[youryeah]

On a particular discord...according to someone trusted...should Sunny miss out on his trade targets, there is a backup plan in UFA on a short term deal ... he's OLD but it would just be a stop gap

giroux?

Phil Kessello?

Jaromir Jagrello

Not sure his AAV will be low enough for that

We are looking to clear alot of cap so maybe ?

I that’s necessary for one big add unless there’s more going out the door than we think (i.e. Mercer, Markstrom for cheap replacement, etc.)

Markstrom I am pretty sure goes. I think Dillon, Mercer, Noesen and Dougie may as well. Wont be all of them but Id bet atleast 2 of the extras goes as well

I went out for a while and see that everyone got traded while FitzSunny has been sitting on his hands since, like, 3:00!!

Hey, new guy, get off your ass!

 

[MB3]

Only Ranger I ever liked while they still actively playing for them. But that was like 38 years ago at this point.

Seen this quote circulating on Twitter. Obviously means nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I have a hunch that Sunny will target him with the added ammo/cap space.

All in on Jrob, but i would expect to lose Grits in a deal for him.

I assume Nico is done to the point where it'll be announced on 7/1 since Sunny is doing other stuff now it seems during draft week. They probably have a ton of time on Grits since he's RFA unless someone comes in with an insane offer sheet then they should be fine in that regard too

 

[Bcap88]

Grits is probably on the back burner until they see what they can pull via trade or free agency

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Robertson is the pipe dream but if he's ignoring big money in Dallas then it has to be him wanting to go to a contender and that leaves a few teams left but my god my non favorite Devil become a Devil would be shades of 2010 Kovy trade

he’s the best player available BUT he would cost a haul

Im expecting like: Grits / 12th Overall / DAL choice of any D not named Hughes / Pesce and another pick?

I'd do that right now

 

[Devils Trap]

I'd do it tomorrow

As would I, but his cap hit does scare me a tad bit.
