Can our twitter please stop calling us "Jerz"

That's not a thing...

 

[Darkauron]

Aighty then. Took 11 hours but we signed someone

You guys are my new Eastern Conference team as long as Crow's on your roster.

Excellent signing. Zero complaints here. Should be a good mentor for Mack.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Alright Fitzy alright

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

Unreal. Great signing, couldn’t ask for better

 

[Darkauron]

Goodnight Fitz

 

[Forge]

I've been suggesting this for a while, so obviously I'm in. I'd rather have him in goal than MAF, though the assets from taking Fleury may have been nice

Welcome to Jerz.

Assuming there's no NMC on this one, so Crawford is theoretically eligible for expansion. I think that explains the high AAV. It's a lot but the Devils have the room in the next two years.

 

[Emperoreddy]

About as makes sense a signing you can get.

 

[Mgd31]

Excellent deal. Crawford was fantastic last year behind a terrible Chicago defense.

 

[NJDevs26]

Guess Fitz did have a late-night signing on the docket after all, and a solid one at that.

Is the plan to start Crow or Blackwood? I guess NJ might envision a 1a/1b scenario with Blackwood taking over the reigns when Crawford retires? I’m curious how much Crawford has left in the tank, I was surprised with how effective he was last season.

 

[mtnet]

Good that's taken care of

MBW will benefit

Solid signing

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Also, Crow is literally unbeatable in Montreal. Be very mad if they don't play him at the Habs' barn.

Plan? Dude doesn't even have a place to sleep in Jersey yet.

 

[Devilsfan992]

At first I was confused, then looked at his #s and he's still pretty good.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Awesome. Perfect addition.

My guess is Blackwood will get the majority of the starts but Crow will be his 1B.

 

[Davegarri]

Really really big fan of this move

 

[Triumph]

Whatever season we get next year will likely have packed schedules, so you really need a guy who can play at least 30% of your games.

They should at least get good goaltending which is something we haven't had from both goalies since 2015-16.
