Teams can’t talk to free agents early…yet teams often sign mega deals with guys after only 5 minutes of talking. Suggests the back channel talking is real.Are we 100% on Pesche. Aren't we unable to talk to him yet? Only way I understand this trade.
I'm still surprised Carolina isn't complaining about tampering at this point, the way the Pens did when the Sullivan rumors were heating up. Even with the wink wink stuff this is a LOT of smoke pre-July 1. They must literally not give a **** since they aren't signing him anyway.Teams can’t talk to free agents early…yet teams often sign mega deals with guys after only 5 minutes of talking.

Every insider has linked Pesce to NJ for a week. It will be a massive coup if the Devils do not get him, either something will have gone really wrong or someone came in with an unanticipated offer.
I do wonder if the Pesce thing goes on past two PM on Monday will there be mass panic the way there was with Dougie when it took all day to work out his deal after we were rumored on him lol
The Rangers would try to splurge on Stamkos and Patrick Kane before they paid through the nose for Pesce lolDepending if NYR can offload Trouba them coming in last second would be classic them but I think if they get him off the books, it'll go to Lindgren ASAP and a top 6 forward. But I agree, I can't see why Fitz would do this if he didn't know Pesce would be a Devil on 7/1
Wouldn't care unless Roy gets signed in the same time period lol
I'm reserving my judgement till I see the deal Pesce signs but I'm already preparing for an ugly 6-40 type of contract and Dillon to get like a 4-year deal lolI still hate trading a young Dman on a good contract when his value is at the lowest, on the basis of a rumor that we're getting an aging replacement on what's going to be a big contract. There's going to be lots of money tied up in D.
for me it’s “don’t wait til the end of the season to fire Lindy Ruff” or “don’t hire Lindy Ruff in the first place”So idk maybe don’t trade the guy when his value tanked

Who knows, maybe Carolina gave him permission to seek a deal pre free agency so they could get a pick for his rightsI'm still surprised Carolina isn't complaining about tampering at this point, the way the Pens did when the Sullivan rumors were heating up.

We didn't trade him at 'low' value, we traded him at meh value. Were we supposed to trade him after last offseason? Or hope he bounced back just to trade him for marginally more next offseason? This is actually an improvement over 'Ty Smith and a third' that we traded for him two years ago.
Fitz clearly wants to remake the defense and goaltending at both NHL and prospect level.
I think the clock is ticking for Dougie and Siege, neither will finish their contract here.I still hate trading a young Dman on a good contract when his value is at the lowest, on the basis of a rumor that we're getting an aging replacement on what's going to be a big contract.

Yeah I mean this could be it. Just full rebuild of the DI wonder if he asked out. It's either that or that they really wanted a bigger, more physical RD.

Marino wasn’t bad by all meansSomehow the Ty Smith thing factors into this for people, so yeah I REALLY don't think people understand value.
You have a young Dman who was our best two years ago eating #1 minutes with a stable partner, then inherited a top role and a learning 22 year old partner and a forward group who thought they could play River hockey.
I dont think Marino was nearly as bad as people think he was and we really don't have ac replacement for Bahl yet...
So let's trade away another defenseman.
There's got to be more to the story, like people are just down on him as a person bc this isn't a smart trade.
