Vanek and Camms pls

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

Matty Nets

 

[Desert Devil]

And so it begins. So pissed I'll be at work for it.

 

[Devils Trap]

Moulson/Hemsky/Cammy/Stastny/Vrbata/Vanek/Grabovsvki all very intriguing to me

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Please steal one of Kulemin or Vrbata from the Penguins. And please don't re-sign more than 1/3 of CBGB. I don't even care which at this point, as long it's not 2 or more. And please don't sign Vanek or Moulson. And if you forget about Kulemin or Vrbata, just sign Stastny and Camallerri instead. Easy.

What's wrong with Moulson?

What's wrong with Moulson?

I don't think anything's wrong with Moulson or Vanek honestly, I just have a feeling they're the two that are gonna end up most overpaid.

 

[NJD1982]

Kinda hoping we pull off a trade

Doubt any trades will be going on tomorrow....

I can hope, can't I?

All I wanna see is Harrold for future considerations. Re-sign Fayne and my day is made.

 

[Devils Trap]

Im just saying I think GMs are more focused on FA's instead of offers

 

[MichaelJ]

I can hope, can't I?

1 trade, 1 FA signing

 

[Emperoreddy]

Considering the whole offer period things should move pretty quickly tomorrow. Players already know exactly what is out there.

Hope we hear news of Cory resigning tomorrow too

 

[MountainGoat]

I'm more worried than excited

Pleaaaase don't sign Cammy long term

 

[MasterofGrond]

Need: Good players

Have: Not that

 

[MadDevil]

I'm interested to see what Fayne ends up getting. I have the feeling he's going to be grossly overpaid by somebody. I just hope it's not us. We just cleared one bad contract on D. Please don't replace it with another one.

Outside of Moulson and Vrbata, there's really not much in terms of forwards I'm that interested in honestly. I'd throw Stastny in there too, but I don't see him signing with the Devils. Hemsky I'm kind of iffy on.

What do you guys think of somebody like Grabovski or Jokinen (Jussi that is)?

 

[Pegi90*]

id be happy for moulson, stastny or cammaleri(this for 3 years max) others 2 for multiple year deals.

vanek, there's zero chance he would come the jersey and dont know if i even want him.

sign cory long term and kinkaid for 1-way for few years, 750k or something.

id sign fayne with 5 years, 4m per, not more than that.

 

[Pegi90*]

What do you guys think of somebody like Grabovski or Jokinen (Jussi that is)?

grabovski prob looking long term deal which i think none of these team should do, will be bought out at some point ONCE AGAIN.

i wouldn't mind jussi, devils been lacking of finnish players then, now and 4ever so some finnish blood with ruutu wouldn't hurt. jussi is shootout specialist as well so it would come on use. give him 3 years, 2.5-3m and use tuomo as a decoy-bird(lol) for him.

 

[SeidoN]

Jokinen would be Ryder 2.0. signed to a multiyear deal and then everyone would want him gone after 1

 

[devlzfan]

Will the TSN coverage be streamed?

 

[Ripshot 43]

Jokinen would be Ryder 2.0. signed to a multiyear deal and then everyone would want him gone after 1

100% agreed. He seemed washed up in Carolina with decent talent around him and then he has a resurgence in Pitt. We've seen this before.

 

[SeidoN]

Will the TSN coverage be streamed?

100% certain there will be streams floating around. I wont be able to watch much of it this year, but ill post one when I see one

 

[MartyOwns]

All I wanna see is Harrold for future considerations. Re-sign Fayne and my day is made.

man I just don't get this. harrold is the perfect, PERFECT 7th defenseman for this team. factoring in salaries, I'd rather have him than fayne at this point, for when we suffer a rash of injuries
