For tax reasons.... Yes.We talking Andre Palot?

Im not going to lie, 100% fooled me.I made a joke about Palat giving Stamkos some of his money to come here. I see it caused a debate about the legality of it. I understand this is my fault and I promise, in the future, I will make the same types of stupid jokes and not clarify that they are in fact, just stupid jokes. If you take them seriously going forward, this is on you.

You shouldn't have explained it...in fact you should have antagonized it...I made a joke about Palat giving Stamkos some of his money to come here. I see it caused a debate about the legality of it.

Give me Pesce, DeBrusk, and Kulikov on Monday and then let's ride, Bronco Nation
I think Fitz is wanting to really gun it these next two years to A.) maximize Nemec on his elc and B.) save his job so I don't see much reason not to sign an older player on a short term contract. I'd be surprised if Kulikov got more than 2 years.Isn't Kulikov gonna be bone dust soon particularly after that last season? 33 already, 34 by October.
Gotta go a little more youthful now.....

This team really needs to find that Patrick Sharp, Chris Kunitz or Zach Hyman for Jack.
Just seems like such a glaring hole on the roster now that the net and defense are basically what they are.

SJ, reportedly passed on him in the Meier trade, CGY passed on him as well...likely twice but def once for Markstrom. Team sweden cut him from a pretty poor world championship roster. Holtz having no value has been a thing for a while now. Like you said highly doubt it has anything to do with Fitzy's commentsFitzgerald shit talking Holtz has nothing to do with the return. Do you really think teams pay attention to that stuff? It's all about a team that thinks Holtz can help them, and there just aren't many teams that think that, because Holtz has not shown much ability to do anything during his time in the NHL.
I agree with a lot of this. I'm with you that I'd rather Fitz look forward than backward. He should be proactive, not reactive. Which is why I'm fine moving on from Holtz and Schmid, if you don't have a spot for them year then why bother hanging on? Just rip the band-aid off and get it over with.
I just think that these attempts to plug certain holes are opening up larger, more valuable holes elsewhere. 18 months ago we had surplus talent, now we're having trouble icing a full top-12. This didn't happen over night, we've slowly been bleeding skill for a bit now. We're getting slower and more simple, and I don't think that's the right direction to go in after committing to Jack, Nico, and Bratt as the core.
I'm not expecting +50 wins every year. I'm fine with getting more physical, but getting "harder to play against" shouldn't come at the cost of what made you a great team. It looks to me like they're banking way, way too hard on Jack carrying this forward group and I just think that's a losing strategy.
Sprong and foegele are nowhere near the same thing. Sprong is a selfish shitty teammate and foegle is actualy a productive teammatePesce (it's pretty much done even though I prefer Roy)
Dillon
Henrique
Sprong/Foegle type

These signings would fit really well with the current NJ lineup, with Foegele my preference over Sprong. With both Toffoli and Holtz departing, that’s 42 goals we need replacing. Henrique (24) and Foegele (20) is a good moneyball approach to replace those goals.Pesce (it's pretty much done even though I prefer Roy)

I believe it will be Mercer if we don't give up on him. If we do, I fully believe he will go to another team who has a Mcdavid, Mackinnon, Matthews or Crosby and turn into one of those guys.This team really needs to find that Patrick Sharp, Chris Kunitz or Zach Hyman for Jack.
