Devils discussion (news, notes and speculation) - part IV

[TrufleShufle]

I dont understand LTIR and salary cap implications, but it could be smart?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

1.15 million?? How will we ever recover?!?! The sky is falling!!1!1!1!

is isnt really about that man, and yea at the end of the day it isnt a HUGE deal (assuming Jack is going to LTIR), it is just that the optics are objectively hilarious lol we're all hoping for reinforcements (which still may come!) and we get hit with trading for one of our scout's mid children.

6-5 220

 

[MB3]

We barely have enough room for our own deadline additions, the only way we are adding other teams' salary is if Jack is going on LTIR

Trade itself is whatever. Lachance has 52 points in 72 games for BU, probably ends up as an AHL forward but we need those. Hauser is basically a nothing and I doubt he's ever coming over to NA.

The first part of your reply contradicts the second.

We need cap space. That doesn't make the trade "whatever". That makes the trade baffling.

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

This trade is basically to pay a million dollars to give the son of an employee a chance?

Its 1.15 million to broker a deal with space we were never going to use; a prospect, good will, whatever we got was better than nothing

Jack is about to be LTIR'd (because even if its best case scenario he wont be back for a month minimum)

People will overreact because they see a deal that doesnt help the team right now. Theyll live (or theyll stop watching, which may be better)

Dont fall into the twisted pretzel most here have put themselves into

 

[None Shall Pass]

We're retaining half of half (So a quarter) of his $2.3M contract, so like approx $650k.

Got an asset for nothing.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Team is brokering deals for other contenders getting depth meanwhile we have f***ing Ondrej Palat and Tatar on the second line in the middle of clinging onto to our playoff spot yet we have posters here saying we're being too critical on the GM LOL

 

[TrufleShufle]

If anyone was still looking at him.

 

[jkrdevil]

Off the top of my head, Toronto brokered some deals to grind out some assets while still being in a playoff spot.



One more point than Cole Eiserman! I thought I had read some positive things about Lachance a few months back. Not expecting him to be a world beater, but the trade essentially is Lachance for Hauser and less than 300K in actual dollars.

I didn’t mean they were selling. That they are probably going to be dipping into LTIR

 

[guitarguyvic]

How much cap space is 50% of the Frederic contract??

 

[NjDevsRR]

Optics make this horrible

If this happened earlier in the season, it would be whatever

But yeah, this man better improve our forward roster somehow. All good will is long gone

The reinforcements are coming; Friedman said the Devils are 100% getting a center. When have we ever heard him talk so definitively about something like that?

1.15 million of a near ~10 million in cap space, it isnt going to affect anything. And one day Boston will retain for us because thats how this goodwill gesture works

How much cap space is 50% of the Frederic contract??

1.15mil

I agree, its whatever. But Optics are awful

A dude who won't sniff the NHL Devils roster ever + has ties to the Devils front office which reeks of nepotism as is for 1.15M, what a sick deal. This team was linked to Frederic for months too which makes it x200 funnier.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

How much cap space is 50% of the Frederic contract??

I think its 50% of 50%, so like $550k ish?

Space we were never going to use? Source?

 

[NJDfan86]

We need to use as much Cap space as possible before they put Jack LTIR.

 

[Killing Joke]

One less center we can target.

Great job waiting until trade deadline week Tom.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Just to reiterate:

Boston retained half of 2.3 first. We therefore retained half of 1.15.

 

[NJDevs26]

Unless Jack is literally out till the playoffs what’s the point in that? And if he is good luck to Fitz magically hoping he’ll come back day one and be vintage, assuming we haven’t outright blown a spot.

 

[AfroThunder396]

You guys set up these impossible expectations where we trade for every good player on the market and then throw a tantrum when anything less than your made up fantasy happens. Teams are allowed to make small trades too.

Give LaChance a chance

 

[Brodeur]

How much cap space is 50% of the Frederic contract??

2.3 mil AAV for a full season * about a 1/4 of the season remaining * 1/2 retention (Boston) * 1/2 retention (New Jersey) ~ 144K

--------

Deadline's not until Friday, I'm trying not to act like this is the only deal we're going to make.

 

[VoidCreature]

Don’t want to overreact, but if we’re giving up on a year where we’ve been in a playoff spot the entire duration because of one injury (albeit to our best player), I seriously doubt the temerity of this office.

 

[NJDevs26]

Optics make this horrible

Just the optic of trading for the scout’s kid is horrible lol, but it fits in with the good old boy network
