He won't realize it until he's playing for half of his worth in a couple of years....so now is the time to get back on the ice and for smiling.

After everyone gets their 8/9 million dollar contracts that 4.2 in 2027 is going to feel like hot spit in the face.

Yes I will feel very sorry for the 25 year old multimillionaire.

Jim, he is represented by a professional agent. You are portraying him in this thread and the Mercer signing thread like he's some sort of feeble weak sap guy getting massively abused by team.

If money was so important to Mercer, he could fight his side more via his agent and tried stronger stances and held out longer. He's not a poor sap slave to this process. At some point you have to accept he accepted this deal too and weighed in the options that were realistically in front of him.

12 million over 3 years plus the future leverage (if he performs well during this contract) to say he is worth a lot more than this one and can leverage that for UFA time telling NJd or others that he took a reasonable NJ friendly negotiation last time and expects this time for them to pony up.

How come you and everyone see my response to the snipes as the stirring or the troll and not the snipe?

Hey, I love good ball busting...so I don't have a problem either way but at least see the full picture.

That is correct.

We’re not doing this in two threads, either cut it out here or the signing thread gets closed

I actually thought I was in the other thread. Lol. Can you move posts....? I'll go back to Mercer thread if there is follow-on.

So you want Luke, Nemec and Hischier to "get robbed" so Mercer can make more money? I hate to break it to you but they are more important to the future of the Devils than Mercer is.
