It's going to be StvBroDan!!!!

In regards to Oduya if we sign him or not, I'm sure he's a better player now than when he left. Playing on a great team with great players in big game and may walk away with 2 rings helps.

im hoping Chicago wins, because I don't see oduya leaving an awesome situation if he doesn't get it this time.

If he wins this year, I can see him going more towards financial stability and a home in Jersey.

San Jose did it to Chicago and it doesn't seem like Chicago really holds a grudge. Same with nashville and philadelphia.


It's one avenue to explore with a guy like Galchenyuk and the flexibility of the Devils.

 

[GhostofKenKlee]

I have read the theory that it just forces trades. However, there is a bit of ole boyz club out there. what was the last successful offer sheet?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Brandon Saad and Tyler Toffoli should be the guys you target on an offer sheet

it aint happening though

 

[R8Devs]

That's true most of them get matched only one I can remember is Penner. You can say SJ was successful from their offersheet to Hjalmarsson because they got what they wanted in Niemi because the blackhawks had to make a decision between the two due to the offersheet.
But this year it might be different with some of the teams in a cap crunch.

 

[GhostofKenKlee]

I guess these guys figure they have to deal with each other. There was an article about how Shero lied to Saad's dad about drafting him, instead taking Morrow. It would be interesting if he did offer him a contract. Shero and Lombardi seem like pals, I doubt he would cross him.

 

[ScottyK]

I liked Shero's response about how every team in the league on October 1st think they can make the playoffs, then when asked about the roster he said the season certainly isn't starting tomorrow.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Shero gave some vintage Lamoriello-like vague as hell answers.

It would be great to offer sheet Galchenyuk.

"How much is too much" is almost the question when deciding to go through on such plans.

Is 6+ million something the Devils want to commit to? can MTL not afford to pay it?
are we willing to sacrifice 2016 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I don't want to give up 3 rounds of picks for one player, regardless of how good Galchenyuk is.

Like ZBC said, Saad and Toffoli would likely be the most realistic offer sheets on our end. Handcuff a cap-strapped team, force them to make a move or so. If they can't, we take their player.

I doubt that's the course of action though.

I wish he was honest and said my forwards look like cold diarrea in a dixie cup.

 

[DevilsFanInFla]

Well, we're now limited in our offer sheet options as we gave up our 2016 3rd in the Hynes hire. So it's either go big (4 firsts) or go smaller. Neither will do us any good.

And after a five year hiatus, I'm on Twitter. Tomorrow I toss all VHS tapes and start using Blu-ray. Fresh starts.

John Hynes impressive in first press conference as Devs' head coach. No "sales pitch", appears all business, with acumen to handle media.

cangy has emerged. where is chere?

damn i just saw its the nj pick they are giving up. i guess the slim chance becomes no chance.

Aside from debating who the better player is between Galchenyuk, Saad, and Toffoli, what difference does it make how much we give up?

salary offered and compensation is something we should examine as well.

Nonetheless, if Saad is who you want (and if Saad also agrees to getting moved here) let's be prepared to give up a couple of picks.

 

[theoptimist]

Ruutu and Elias still have value too. Could be deadline deals. If traded, we could expect to net alteast a 3rd from Elias.

 

[Czech Trio]

I like Ruutu but I wouldn't mind seeing him moved. Too many guys pushing for spots and I have a hard time believing Zubrus is moved before Ruutu.

Tarasenko is listed as RFA. 4 firsts?

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

I would part with an entire draft for Saad lol. Incredible player

 

[Devils731]

If the Devils wanted to offer sheet someone and they needed their own 3rd, they could trade to get it back first.

Offer sheeting someone was unlikely either way, I think.

He boycotted after missing on the Paul MacLean AND Phil Housley hirings.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Was Chere at Prudential Center today?

Rich, not the singer
