I would try to see if we can get Dawson Mercer with the difficulties they have with his contract

AmenGet some muscle for bottom 6 and build a real fuxking 4th line instead of washed up plugs.

no ufa for MTL which most of us knew
If you look at the contract structure, it's actually pretty perfect to give Sid/Pens flexibility to move him if the Pens attempts to re-tool & be competitive by next season fall flat.
That relatively low cap hit, assuming he physically holds up, makes him easier to trade, and the heavy signing bonus could make it easier for a rival club to justify giving up additional futures if he's traded in season/after bonus paid.
Won't be surprised at all if he doesn't finish that contract in a Pens jersey.
Man this won't go away..Pittsburgh is not moving Crosby. He wants to retire a Penguin and they're not going to move him without his agreement.
I'm 90% sure he's going to get a "Show me that last year was an aberration" bridge deal for a year or two with hopes that he'll get a bigger $$$ contract next time.I would try to see if we can get Dawson Mercer with the difficulties they have with his contract
I'd definitely be open to discuss it. I've always been a big fan of Mercer, I think he'd fit real good in our top 9.I'm 90% sure he's going to get a "Show me that last year was an aberration" bridge deal for a year or two with hopes that he'll get a bigger $$$ contract next time.
Trade wise the Devils would want someone who can play this year or the next and the biggest position they are lacking is a 3rd like center. I think the ask would be Beck +2nd round pick + something else
The Hab's have Hage and Kapanen as Center depth so I don't think it would hurt that bad.
Anyway that's the a "Devils fan prospective"
Have good day!
Never got off that trainTime to circle back to PLD now that Crosby is gone.
Nah Crosby is only on a 2 year deal... We'll get him anyway!Time to circle back to PLD now that Crosby is gone.
The frenchies always use MTL to get more. The ones who can't find work, eventually sign here or pass their prime to be closer to their families aka Savard. Brière was another. ABB is just not good enough anymore to merit a chance on another team. Instead of Dubois, they got the other because as I mentionned before was persona non grata in Columbus.Marchessault was interested but wanted more years than Hughes was willing to give.
Yup when he is 40Nah Crosby is only on a 2 year deal... We'll get him anyway!

Or before then, if he gets boredYup when he is 40
Depends on how good Beck looks this year.They'd probably like to retain Evans.
Savard might get a short term extension.

He absolutely would be. He would be the perfect centre to add.I'd definitely be open to discuss it. I've always been a big fan of Mercer, I think he'd fit real good in our top 9.
Mercer is 100% not a center its been tried multiple times and it destroys all of his offensive ability.He absolutely would be. He would be the perfect centre to add.
I'm with you on this , i dont care about the rest of the names on that listThey'd probably like to retain Evans.
Savard might get a short term extension.
I don't understand why he was on the 3rd line if he wasn't centring it.Mercer is 100% not a center its been tried multiple times and it destroys all of his offensive ability.
I think the ask would be Beck +2nd round pick + something else
If Mercer was a centre, Beck and a 2nd is a reasonable deal. Not sure i would give up a centre at this point for a wing.Maybe it’s just me but that’s cheap for Mercer? I’d do that in an instant.
Also while you’re here what’s up with Seamus Casey? You guys have Dougie/Pesce/Nemec on the right side, is he gonna be trade bait? Or AHL to start and get called up for injuries.
1. My proposal might be a bit weak Devils wise but I am deep in a "foreign land", Its not good to upset the locals. Even though Mercer is still a RFA him forcing it does weaken the Devils hand a bit and to be honest its hard to find a prospect/player that I could see the Hab's giving up that would fill a hole somewhere in the Devils roster. Roy would be nice but I think he'd be untouchable at this point and Center is a bigger need.Maybe it’s just me but that’s cheap for Mercer? I’d do that in an instant.
