IT'S NOESEN! IT'S NOESEN!

 

[Blender]

YES

 

[Triumph]

lol yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa oh well. He was a perfect add and fit for this roster, but figured he'd be priced out. 7 years AAV > $6.....

Honestly, still would have been worth it to the Devs imo if it wasn't for their current cap situation. Insert 1000th rant about Palat contract here.

Chandler Stephenson is not worth anything close to 7 years, and Palat at 3 years and 6M is better than that - it isn't close.

 

[Saugus]

Seeing the crazy money that other GMs are handing out today for declining and/or complementary players, I'm actually pretty pleased with this contract for Noesen.

Solid work by Fitz.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Good move. Skilled clutch player and an aggressive competitor and as a footnote also happy it isn’t Debrusk. Much better value here. Much more adaptable player who can be slotted in in multiple roles, including some power play.

 

[RSeen]

Great deal, should add value to PP 2 and potentially be a solid 3rd liner.

Palat-Haula-Noeson

ALL YOUR CANES ARE BELONG TO US

 

[Better Call Sal]

I can’t say enough how happy I am about him coming back, I love this guy. His story is fantastic.

He was as close to being out of the league as you can be just 3 years ago. Bounced around after 18-19 with us, spending time in three organizations over a two year span and playing just 46 games. Then he winds up on Carolina’s AHL team, goes and puts up nearly 50 goals and wins the Calder Cup, and finds himself back in the show for the next two seasons putting up career highs in goals, points and games played.

I’m stoked to have him back.

 

[Barry Tallackson]

Best deal of the day for NJ

 

[Classic Devil]

I like Noesen a lot but that's a lot of money.

 

[Forge]

No real issues with this. Projection was 3 x 2.5, so right in line with that. Right hand shot, term isn't egregious, good utility who can play all times if needed. I think he has to continue to stay around that 30 point mark, but he's been in that range two straight years.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Sweet.

Now just take a look at Chandler Stephenson and this would be a decent day. Curious to see how inflated his cost is post Vegas production.

the answer is…extremely a lot

 

[Triumph]

The 3rd year hurts, not sure he's still at a high level by then, but Noesen was so good at boardwork when he was here. Always liked him and was bummed at how poorly he played in 2019 such that he wasn't kept around.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Happy to have the Nose back. The original Nose.

Hope he can keep up that production pace that he had with Carolina... Although not sure that is realistic, as he was getting PP2 with them?

Hope this works out, good to have a return back.

Noesen Agrees to Terms to Re-Join Devils on 2-Year Deal | RELEASE | New Jersey Devils

Noesen agrees to terms on a two-year contract worth $4,000,000 million with an annual average value (AAV) of $2,000,000

www.nhl.com

Devils press release has it as 2 years??

EDIT: Ignore, the article has the three years mentioned. Someone f***ed up the title.

 

[Devils731]

Noesen shores up some spots the Devils could improve at. He could end up with some over his head raw numbers if he can be the net front guy on PP1. A person even halfway competent there and who digs the misses off the boards will bank a bunch of “oopsie” points.

He's picked up 10 PPGs and 26 PPPs over the past two seasons, so I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see him in that spot.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I forgot how many entertaining goals he had in 17-18.

 

[My3Sons]

So any clarification on the contract term and AAV?

Edit - Nevermind saw it was corrected.

I guess i'm a debbie downer....

I see most are happy but i'm not really thrilled.... no me gusta.

Not exactly returning to team speed.... getting older n slower(maybe not so slow'er)

Yeah, I'm a little worried about team speed for sure.

 

[Devil X]

I like this. First the history part of one of the best and most random 4th lines in recent Devils history.

Second because hes gotten better and adds depth to the bottom.

I did not realize he had 35+ points each of the last 2 seasons. Thats nice.

 

[Triumph]

The team is not going to play like it played in 2022-23. They've made it clear that that's not what they're looking to do. I don't know why everyone is convinced that team speed is the only way a team can win, or that this team can win. There's still lots and lots of speed on this team.

 

[NJDevs26]

If it were John Smith I'd be a little queasy about both term and money but because of who it is I'm willing to overlook the double FA tax.
