GDT: Honoring Greatness: Your New Jersey Devils (38-15-5) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (23-27-10), 7 PM, MSGSN

[Richer's Ghost]

Not signing Bratt because you trade for Meier would be foolish, same applies to Gaudreau. You finally have a good team and you're cutting corners. Only forgivable way would be if they knew Gritsyuk was coming over very soon and even then I'd be pretty pissed.

what happens when Bratt wants too much $$$? He may want the money more than the team.

What's your cutoff at? I'd give both 9Mx8 and call it a day

Lots of avatar material in that last Rewind... but gotta roll with the 1OA connection!

That's the thing...they might be going big-game hunting for wingers because they know Bratt will be impossible to sign before UFA at this point.

Hedging the bet is what it comes down to

That's sorta what I'm thinking too.

Which is unfortunate. Fitz was always seen as being the unreasonable one in the situation, but might come to find that that truly wasn't the case.

How many does Hannu Kamppuri have?

My friend that I've brought up before (Carey Price looking guy built like Jagr) just now in the other thread is a big fan of Hannu, who played for the Devils when he was 1-2 years old.

He has an extremely random picture of Hannu as a Devil on his wall at his house and has had this picture on his bedroom walls since he was a kid, along with some other players, but Hannu Kamppuri is easily the most random guy on there.

He claims the first game he ever watched featured Hannu Kamppuri in net for the Devils. His memory is even better than mine ever was to be able to watch a guy that last played a game with the Devils/in North America before his second birthday.

He says his memory of it isn't strong, but that he heard the name and kept saying Hannu as a little kid and his parents knew he was fond of this player.

He's said that before he dies he really needs to scour the world for Hannu Kamppuri to get him to sign the picture.

He's probably the biggest fan of Hannu Kamppuri on this side of Finland. He used to pretend to be Finnish and tell people he was of Finnish descent when he was a little kid because of Hannu Kamppuri. He even gave himself a Finnish variation/alias of his name. In recent years he took a couple of the DNA tests, which came back a small percentage of Finnish and he was really excited. He's PUMPED about that and even tries to speak with a Finnish accent.

i think freud called that finnish envy

Who extends first timo or Bratt lol

I mentioned it earlier, but I think Bratt would be traded in the off-season if we get a Meier.

I'm not sure how you can tell Bratt he can't make more than Jack and then give Timo 9+.

At this point I'd be betting it's Timo before Bratt and we haven't even acquired him yet.

 

[R8Devs]

or just because timo gives them another elite winger which gives them someone elite to put with both Nico and Jack. they have enough space to fit both long term (they will have to make cuts with some UFAs but that was probably going to happen regardless if Meier comes here or not).

The Flyers' broadcast called Hughes McDavid East after the 6th goal.

that jack to bratt play is insane.... but something like that needs a bit of ineptitude from the flyers

amazing the embarrassment

I am not quite all the way there, but I definitely think there's a reasonable chance that this is how it plays out

 

[Bleedred]

If we ever have another international tournament anytime soon (not world championships) the Swiss team might almost feel like a Devils team haha.

 

[Devs3cups]

I think so too. If we don't get Meier, then we're good with Bratt for sure, but unfortunately if we do, it gets dicey...

 

[Richer's Ghost]

If Fitz can somehow get Bratt pressured into signing to soak up the cash before Timo and then convince Timo to sign at a discount that would be some epic management

I need the Torts presser…and Flyers YT obliges

Absolutely not. Bratt’s an RFA. At worst he’s ours for 1 more season.

 

[NJDevs26]

Wow…Torts ‘that’s a good team, we’re not anywhere near them’

 

[Whaddagoal]

Didnt realize nico had such a snipe shot there. My in game view didnt caputre that angle.i did yell shoot half a second before though. He tucked it snug in corner/bar.

That pass by Hughes..2nd best pass by him, by eyecandy this season (2nd to the Dougie OT)

Nico reliving 2000 cup pass.
