Make it 3 points. With a nasty facial wound too. Warrior.Goal and assist today.
Now, make a thread bitching about Meier because he's been responsible for two goals against in two games and needs to focus.
One bad contract may not be crippling, but it does impede a team's ability to maximize their potentialHis contract is a four year deal if they want it to be. The first year is almost over. Next season his cap hit won’t matter. Years three and four it can be bad. I agree it’s too long and for too much but it isn’t close to those other deals where guys were counted on to be main cogs. If Palat can be a middle six player for three years after this one it’s fine. Presumably the cap will start to go up a bit also. No one contract is crippling its when you start loading up on older less skilled guys like Vancouver or Calgary or SJ.
Very few third contract players are ever worth it. He’s hardly unique.One bad contract may not be crippling, but it does impede a team's ability to maximize their potential
How much better would Calgary have been in last year if they went into the playoffs with someone actually worth the 5.25 million cap hit they were paying Lucic
Instead, that money was wasted on a player who amassed a total of 1 assist while averaging just 9:25 minutes over 12 games
And maybe Palat proves me wrong, and he'll end up being worth every penny, but I'm guessing that won't be the case
Wait till the playoffs. That's where is value has been in the pastOne bad contract may not be crippling, but it does impede a team's ability to maximize their potential

Idt its brutal plus it was never signed with the intention of seeing it throughYikes, forgot about this brutal contract.
Made me remember that Panarin makes 11.5 million a season for a fre more years , is the same age as Palat and is one dimensional. Wait till you guys sign Kane in the summer.Yikes, forgot about this brutal contract.
7 goals, 16 points in 30 games this season
1 goal, 2 assists in his last 10, playing less than 15 minutes per game
He'll be 32 in a few weeks, and is taking up 6 million in cap space through the 2027 season on a team that will soon be looking to re-sign Bratt, Meier, and Mercer to long term deals before the next waive of youngsters like Nemec and Holtz are due for theirs
I was very critical of the deal, and thought it was a shortsighted move for a team built for the long term
So, to those of you who applauded or defended this signing, do you still believe it was a good move by the Devils? Would you sign Palat to the same contract if he were a UFA today?
Yikes, forgot about this brutal contract.
3.6M for 30 pts + is all right.at least hes not barclay fning goodrow rofl
I’m fine with it especially with all the young guys on the roster and the ELC’s coming on soon. Palat brings a lot of experience, is physical and can slot in the top-6 easily if there’s an injury.
4 years after this one. Also saw a tweet recently saying that the contract is very “buyout-able” in the last 2 seasons if it has to, so there’s that.

people want to crap all over JT Miller and his contract, he’s atleast a ppg center who wins face offs. Palat hasn’t scored 20 goals and 50 plus points in years….and makes only 2 million less then JT Miller….
let’s hope those Tampa playoff numbers weren’t propped up by the stars…

Why whine about this when we still have to pay Corey Schneider and Kovalchuk for another year?
