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

[Winnie the Pooh]

Two years of control beyond this year is not nothing. The only reason you wouldn't pay for that is if you think those two years would he a hindrance and he is cooked as a player.

Well I just remembered OReilly has been outspoken about Keefe and his coaching style not being a fit for him

So yeah this isnt happening lol; Toronto fans reminded me of this

If we can get ROR for relatively cheap im all in. But a 1st next year is too much

ROR will be the opposite of “relatively cheap”, I’m legit frightened at what Fitz’ll give up chasing his next big name target.

Is this us paying the price for dancing on Rangers grave earlier this year?

Listen to the queen. I’m livid and afraid.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I wanted ROR badly when he was still in STL but no way I want him now unless it is dirt cheap and we flip him after this season for a return of youth at C. 3 years too late imo.

Welcome to New Jersey Luke.

It's that center you've been asking for

 

[HoliksGhost]

We need players. The upcoming trades may look ugly but we bodies.

Pete just said on what chaos that he preceded his EP talk by saying he has no connections and it was just a little birdie told him that. He never meant for it to take off.

Dude is a career 16% shooter who is over 30 goals a year - he is not just some perimeter playmaker

Twas a joke, bud.

Hard to tell these days! My bad.

give me chris drury over tom fitzgerald tbh

 

[Better Call Sal]

Yeah I agree the cost for ROR would probably be far too rich. He’d be the perfect guy to have next year behind Jack and Nico. Would really take some defensive pressure off of Nico, too.

Friedman was just on NHL Network and indicated that Nashville is basically treating ROR as if he has a no movement clause. It’d have to be a worthwhile trade for them to consider even asking him if he would go. So it sounds like it’d be far too rich.

 

[Killing Joke]

If you go after Oreilly you ask for retention so you can still add. If you go for Petey you don’t ask for retention because it will cost less because of the cap hit.

Hell no lol. Drury sucks even more.



He just took on this ass contract and bad player.

 

[Killing Joke]

I’d stay away from Oreilly. He has no offense. We need offense.

 

[Devils Trap]

So now when seeing the Soucy trade so people realize this market!? Soucy has been one of the worst D in all of hockey this year and he got a 3rd

55 pt pace
70 pts last year

I wouldnt say no offense. And that Nash team is a MESS this season. Nothing going right

So now when seeing the Soucy trade so people realize this market!? Soucy has been one of the worst D in all of hockey this year and he got a 3rd

And thats with no retention. Seems about right in this market

Rumors back in Toronto that OReilly and Keefe didnt see eye to eye and thats what led to his short stay

Honestly, if Dougie wasn't hurt, I'd seriously think about moving Kovacevic, with prices for defenders being what they are.
