Why?

Anything over 3 mil is too much. We'll see

What about $2.95M?

 

[Blackjack]

I’ll guess around 2.2-2.5

Wood gives up a little money for the security of an extra year.

Edit: just saw what the filings were. Might be higher than that.

The filings were for one year. Common sense would dictate that Wood might give up a little on the per year for the security of a multi-year deal.

Has to be over 3, otherwise it doesn't make sense. I'll say $3.15M.

 

[Mgd31]

I was really hoping we'd just dump this guy, but oh well.

There is no way its that low. Wood likely would have gotten around $3.5M on a one year. It is almost for sure going to be in the $3's.

Oh no, the link is gone. Did Weeksy act too soon?

 

[Blackjack]

As the team filed Wood had the option to make the award for one year or two. Or at least that’s my understanding.

I’m thinking it could be high twos rather than low twos. Anything over three would be hard to understand.

hahaha oh boy he deleted the tweet

Yeah, I see your point. This whole thing is so strange, why didn’t NJ just let him sign the QO? I thought they filled for arbitration to save money.

I guess I’ve memory holed this but I didn’t realize that Wood actually had solid underlying numbers when he was last healthy.

 

[britdevil]

Was the Weekesbomb a dud???

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I changed the thread to rumor for now

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Weekes is wrong as often as he’s right.

 

[britdevil]

It's probably close. A two year deal would surprise me though.

Yeah, he's a better player than the typical go fast, score goal 4th liner in terms of game impact if for no other reason than his speed makes the defense play honest. Problem is I don't know how you can be confident he'll be that player again.

 

[devlzfan]

When you've fooled Kevin Weekes into thinking you've signed a new two year deal.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Anything more than 1 year is too much....

 

[Bleedred]

$3 million for next year too?

Oh give me a f***ing break.

I will start a riot in Newark if we do the same shit with Blackwood next year in his last RFA year.

Anything more than 1 year is too much....

Unless it's for cheap.

Only 1 year arbitration award is an option here as Wood is 1 year from UFA. Otherwise, yes.. he would have been able to ask for a 2 year award.

I also don't think we can learn much from the arbitration filings here. The Devils would have likely filed lower than 2.975M if possible but that's the lowest they could file per the CBA (85% of last year's total salary). Hard to pay a guy who only played 4 games..

Wood was about to sign but he heard about how nice Columbus is
