Yes, you arrived at the reason to be upset about this.Salary cap ?

It really is an insignificant amount of money.If the Devils make this signing on August 18th after everyone else is scooped up and they swung and missed, fine.
But as it stands right now, there are 1.8 reasons to be upset about this. That's not an insignificant amount of money, and it certainly signals to me that the Devils are done adding forwards. Plenty of reasons to be upset about that.
In fact the complete oppositeYes, you arrived at the reason to be upset about this.

I think if they were a getting a better top 6 option in the offseason it would have happened and that Tatar was probably plan B or C.I’m just worried the $1.8 will tie their hands with better top 6 options now or at the tdl.
They could've easily accommodated Tarasenko at 4.5 before they gave 2 to Tatar. They can no longer do this.In fact the complete opposite
Tarasenko wasn’t coming here for less than 4 and there’s nothing else in the market 1.8 mil for a forward who can provide top 9 minutes seems like an easy decision to me
Who is saying it's catastrophic? I'm upset, not throwing things or cursing Fitz.They could move on from Bastian and free up $1.3 million. Then this is effectively a $500k transaction.
As it stands, we still have $4.9 million in space. If Tatar doesn't play well, we can ditch that contract fairly easily also.
None of this is catastrophic.
we really need to stop the "top 6" and "bottom 6" stuff. Most teams operate under top 9 and 4th line anymore.
I'd rather have the guy with proven chemistry with a couple of our key forwards plus the Nemec connection.They could've easily accommodated Tarasenko at 4.5 before they gave 2 to Tatar. They can no longer do this.
Welp. Time to let the big guy know this

I think Mercer will get less than most people probably think he will, but yeah, I still don't know if we could have swung it.How were they going to fit Mercer's deal under the cap with Tarasenko at $4.5M?
I wouldn't call that a well actually. You told everyone how they need to see the team while the guy building is saying the opposite.thats great and all, but I like to go by the ice time, and the ice time bears this out
I k now you have to be the "well actually" guy all the time though, so nice work on that front
If you'd rather have the guy who just scored 24 points & has been healthy scratched in 3 consecutive playoff runs by 3 different hockey teams than a 2-time Stanley Cup champion who was over a point-per-game two years ago and was lauded by Florida management for his ability to play up-and-down a lineup en route to a banner, you're out of your f***ing mind lmao.I'd rather have the guy with proven chemistry with a couple of our key forwards plus the Nemec connection.

Either way, I'd much rather be the "well actually" guy than confidently wrong while demanding others be wrong too.
If it's one thing I know in message boards, it's to always listen to the one random person demanding everyone think like them regardless of everything else presented.if its one thing I know about sports, its to always take everything GMs and coaches say at face value
