Devils 2018-19 team discussion (player news and notes) - offseason part VI

[goonybird]

“ken, ken!” i shrieked as the players marched off the bus and into the arena. daneyko’s gaze met mine, our eyes locking for what seemed to be an eternity. he threw me onto his broad, glistening shoulders and carried me onto the bus, closing the door behind him.

he laid me on a bed of old national geographic magazines, as wave after wave of involuntary ******* rippled through my body. he nuzzled my ******* with his stubbly head. i yearned for more.

again.

Ray capping off an incredible offseason .... Jesus.

how the hell do you know its immediately Shero thats in the wrong...?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Yes but if the subject veers into anything regarding the devils and money or cap management or anything like that, it is a knee jerk reaction of this board to swarm to the side of "no big deal, this is normal, this is nothing, who cares". Its just the way it is.

ah someone mentioned the word contract, so the Zezel alarm got sounded. Good to know you only post about one of two things on this board. Still.

 

[Oneiro]

If this team ends up doing anything, you're gonna look back and relish that Shero did nothing this summer.

He rightfully concluded that there are enough fresh bodies competing for the few spots available. Some kid will want it more than a third tier UFA.

Look, I was hoping we would have made a trade for a DMan this summer, but the right opportunity did not present itself. How many good DMen got moved? Dougie Hamilton? After that, who else?

I am disappointed we stood pat. But I also understand it. Starting next year, we are going to have an influx of DMen likely ready to take over for guys like Greene

i won’t post the twitter account because mods remove it (although it has a good track record) but, in regards to karlsson rumors-

NJD are offering Zacha+McLeod+Greene+2019 first.

for a signed karlsson, i make that deal

 

[Triumph]

lol @ the idea that 'a twitter account' for trade rumors has a good track record

 

[NJDevs26]

If it's blacklisted here, there's a reason for it. And good luck getting Greene to waive his NTC to go to the dumpster fire that is Ottawa in that hypothetical.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I'm sure a rebuilding team would have a huge interest in 36 year old Andy Greene

 

[None Shall Pass]

Was it the same Twitter account that was the guy who designed a (hideous but absolutely serious) third logo for the Hurricanes and asked his followers to Retweet it so the team could see it?

Because, that to me just screams "Someone who has no inside knowledge of hockey".

You and I both know that OTT holds out for Lovejoy in a deal for Karlsson

I admire your persistence.

I admire your persistence.

He’ll be gone next season and I won’t be able to make these absurd comments so I have to get them all in now.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

I dont want to pay the assets for Karlsson. Not unless its cheaper than what Id think it'd cost.

Id willingly move Butcher+McLeod+2019 1st+2020 2nd(becomes 1st if NJ makes cup final in 2018-19 or 2019-20 seasons). This is for an extended Karlsson paying 11.5-12m/8 years. Dont like the contract too much but its what itd take to get it done.

much more than that and I pass.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

they aren't going to trade Butcher. Severson will go long before him.

 

[Billdo]

To be fair the cap itself seems to go up every year and other guys will come off the books by then.

 

[Bleedred]

In before the ''Devils extend Ben Lovejoy: one year/$750k'' thread that's soon to come!

 

[Billdo]

Oh for sure, I'm just making the point that while we obviously could probably afford to overpay Wood, we are not going to have all of that space in only a few years time. Hall is getting at least a 3 mil a year raise, Vatanen will get a good amount more, Hischier and Butcher will get larger contracts, etc. Yes the cap goes up and contracts will end, I'm just not all for throwing money just to do it.

Keep Butch

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah. Just isn’t much reason for Ray to fold on Wood’s demands. Team has all the leverage.

At some point a deal will be made.

Most of these ''Rumors'' guys are illegitimate. It's pretty easy to come up with a trade scenario between two teams just by looking at rosters. Just take a look at the main board proposal forum!
