More fear mongering nonsense. The Devils have an ABSURD, ungodly amount of cap space to work with. Of course they have upcoming deals that have to make - after 5 playoff less years and the draft picks you get from those you would certainly hope they have some extensions to sign.
And they have a superstar to extend as well at what will be a humongous number.
That is not exactly outside of the normal business of an NHL franchise. To suggest that the team has to essentially shut down operations in advance of offering contracts to Taylor Hall, Nico Hischier and Will Butcher is, again, asinine.
People are acting like the Devils are in some kind of unusual, challenging situation that must be expertly navigated. Give Hall his money, extend the young players and be done with it. Look at the top of the league and the amount of players on those teams that are making real money. Stop it.
At least we have something nice to look at on the pregame show now. And dont worry guys - I am talking about Bryce Salvador!
