Mercer for 3 years 4 M each, is that realistic?
That's around the type of deal I've been expecting.

Actually 1.15 mill (the maximum fully buriable contract) is exactly what I would give a player who I planned to primarily keep in the AHL and call up when necessaryI mean sure they could but the plan is obviously for him to be on the team. You don't give him 1.15x3 if your plan is to send him down. Jettisoning Nate, never ever signing this waste of space, and having 2 guys on min deals instead would've been the smarter move and opened up another 970k in space

For us or him ?Mercer for 3 years 4 M each, is that realistic?
That plus Fitz gushed about his supposed leadership when we signed him.Disagree. I don't think you give that guy 3 years if the the plan is he's an AHLer primarily. I think the plan is to keep him up and then sending him down is the fallback option. Keefe also just played Reaves 49 times. I think we're going to see our fair share of MacDermid
To my eyes I think MacDemrid comes across as a serious thoughtful guy. In a young team I can see that impression being superficially appealing but leadership is obviously much more than that. Who knows how he plays in thr room or if he even tries to work the room at all.That plus Fitz gushed about his supposed leadership when we signed him.
The least claimable contract possible without harming us is again, exactly what I would give a player I want to stash in the AHL. If you wanted to see him in the NHL, you'd have a lower AAV to save cap hit.Disagree. I don't think you give that guy 3 years if the the plan is he's an AHLer primarily.

Every day Kurtis Macdermid is in utica is a day where NJD is able to accrue that portion of cap spaceThat's what you would give. I will be stunned if MacDermid goes to the AHL this year. This contract is allowing for the possibility that MacDermid can be demoted in future years, while also giving him the maximum amount of money that allows him to be demoted for no cap hit. To me, only some other wild circumstances on the roster or a rash of extremely selfish penalties can have him in Utica this year.

I think most of us wish for MacDermid to be buried in the AHL this year.Every day Kurtis Macdermid is in utica is a day where NJD is able to accrue that portion of cap space
Yeah, 4M seems low based on some signingsI wouldn't accept 4 if I were Mercer or his agent. Maybe for 1 year certainly not for 3 years
I think we kept 3 of the assistants: McGill, Taylor and Rogalski. We replaced Greene with Colliton. Greene left to become head coach in Ottawa.Again I am here to shout loud and clear for Tom Fitzgerald, our GM. Last season the Devils used everything they had to miss the playoffs.
288 mam games lost due to I juries.
They did their best to put out the worst defense and allowed 3.43 goals/game in their division.
And had a whooping .886 save percentage.
That is behind us, thanks to Fitz.
He fired the HC and staff
He got us goalies
He got us defenseman
He got us a new Head Coach
He got us a new Associate Head Coach
He got us new assistant head coaches
He got us grit in the bottom 6
Jack, Luke Nico and Jasper are a year older and hungry
I only tell you Devils' fans this stuff to remind you that I am proud of the job done by Fitz and I am ready for some playoffs.
Yeah, 4M seems low based on some signings
Or something like 3.75, 4.75, 5.75
14.25 over 3 years
4.75 Cap hit.
Yeah but Mercers camp may not agree4 is on a bridge is not low when Lundell just signed for 5 over 8. 4 is the highest I go on a bridge after that shit show Mercer just gave us
Lundell only got 250k more per year for an extra 5 years. 4.75x3 is definitely too much for Mercer.
Yeah but Mercers camp may not agree
Hi, didn't we keep Brylin as well. I just threw in that point. He wasn't going to keep Green so I don't care how he got rid of Green but technically you are correct, Camille the Eel.I think we kept 3 of the assistants: McGill, Taylor and Rogalski. We replaced Greene with Colliton. Greene left to become head coach in Ottawa.
I'm guessing like 3.8 x 2I was guessing 4.25 x 3 personally
