Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

[Beacon Isles]

Pagnotta reporting that we’re below 10 AAV and NJ is above. Saying we don’t want to exceed 10.

If that's the case, I'm assuming we are out.

 

[GOLFWANG]

There either has to be another team or waiting for us to up the offer as he wouldn't be waiting any longer if Devils are a team he really wants to go to.

Hopefully Lou doesn't go above that. Gaudreau is a nice player, but shouldn't be paid as a top 15 player - Not to mention jam up our cap that much especially in the short term.

 

[Glorydays22]

wow if that's the case. I'm impressed with Lou sticking to his guns. Usually just caves in and gives out horrible contracts. But in this case, for me I'd go to 10M and tell Johnny, come here and help us with the cup

We are out. This is so dumb give the man money.

 

[periferal]

People want to kill Lou right now.


If he signs Gaudreau a second later people will want to throw him a parade.

[Throttle]

How come you believe that’s the case? We are past the days of the Wang. We have a competitive team and a new arena nowadays.

I mean Pagnotta, not Lou/Isles

Lou currently trying to sell the idea to go to the island for a little bit less. Only problem is that he communicates via USPS.

 

[Lights911]

Time to get this show on the road, Johnny. Can’t wait much longer with everyone else flying off the board.

People want to kill Lou right now because he hasn’t added a significant piece in his tenure, so yes, people will be happy if he finally does that.

 

[mm11]

Sweet Lou, it's not my money but heck, through another million at him

ya turns out the carrier pigeon was knocked out by Johnny when it got there so they had to send a new one.

The Telegram isn't working today?

 

[doublechili]

Nothing is better than the posts where the guy makes up a dialogue. Those are really good.

You forgot the quotation marks.

Or were you actually posting your own thoughts?

 

[MJF]

To lose a player to the Devils over $1m would bother me a great deal. If Scott Malkin has okayed Lou to offer $9M, go the rest of the way. He’d be our best player outscoring Barzal by almost double.

Who the f*** are we saving the money for???

Another season of no offense to save $500,000? What will that be used to do? Sign Aho? Pay him $11 million like we were willing to do for JT and Panerin.

Did Lou do that in TOR? or NJD?

Short Term Cap Space, come get the Stanley Cup!

You have to pay Barzal, remember?

Maybe waiting for Philly to try do something

No we don’t.

To be fair Fridge on Skates needs a new contract soon.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Did Lou do that in TOR? or NJD?

Yes, every team’s needs and rosters are the same.

 

[Chardo]

Barzal should do the right thing and tell Lou to pay the extra million and take it off my next contract.

 

[doublechili]

Maybe this is like the reverse Panarin and he takes less to play for the Isles?
