Devils 2021 offseason (news, notes and speculation) - part VII

[Devils731]

Did the GMs only figure out this year a trade can be for literally nothing? It was always a 7th or BS future considerations before, I believe.

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

There goes the Lehner option. MAF traded to Chicago.

Good. I did not want Lehner.

 

[Buck Dancer]

I wanted Fleury but I guess he didn’t want to come here. He’s one of the most liked players in the league and would’ve been a great mentor to Blackwood.

Oh well.

 

[The Wumpus]

How convenient they leave out year 8..... What happens in year 8 they don't want us to know about? What are they hiding?

Ragnarök

 

[Captain3rdLine]

We have some really good up and coming young RW’s. Losing some 4th line/healthy scratches is not a big deal and it leaves room for Holtz, Mercer, Clarke and Thompson to push for spots in the lineup. I’d be happy if we signed a top 6 RW in free agency too.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I’d check VAN for Boeser’s availability if I’m Fitz after that Garland extension before I circle back for Tarasenko

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Seems like MAF wasn’t an option for us.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I’d check VAN for Boeser’s availability if I’m Fitz after that Garland extension before I circle back for Tarasenko

I love Boeser I just don't reastlically think they trade him. Plus even if he were available, we'd definitely have to include our 1st which I am on the fence about.

 

[britdevil]

Idk where to post something like this but, what players today are like Jeff Friesen?

hes one my mothers favorite but I never got to see him play much

You missed out. Great player.

Blake Coleman has similarities.

 

[Buck Dancer]

There is no way I’m moving this years first, none. We’re still a bottom #10 team, if not bottom #5, so we would have to add the pieces we’ve talked about for even thinking about it and still, I wouldn’t do it.

 

[aboriginal]

I want boeser too but honestly since the canucks are in such a giving mood these days, you kick the tires on quinn hard as f***.

 

[HBK27]

Seems he didn't want to go anywhere.

May not be anything personal against NJ, as he was probably trying to structure his NTC to make it as difficult as possible for Vegas to trade him.

A season ago, it appeared that Chicago was going into a rebuild, which is why they didn't offer Crawford a contract. Fleury didn't have an opportunity to update his NTC until tomorrow.

I have to imagine Quinn’s a near impossible get. Jim’s an idiot but you have to think he’d try and squeeze out as much as possible if he’d even move him

 

[Forge]

You missed out. Great player.

I mostly remember a lot of frustration

 

[NJDevs26]

the deal has to be in by 5 pm today if he is re-signing and not hitting the market.

Like I said, we’ll find out tonight if he’s going back or not. He’s not leaving the extra year on the table to turn around and stay

 

[MauDevils]

If we get Quinn it will be in 4 years. No chance it happens sooner.

Although I'd be more than happy to offer him a 3 year offer sheet next year that walks him straight to free agency.

I disagree. I think he could be had for Severson. Not saying I would do it. But they are in win now mode. Severson helps them more IMO then Quinn does right now/next season.

Now I was for this idea before but now I'm back to the wait the 4 years and then do something.

Point still stands but I doubt he signs a 1 year deal this year but a 2/3 year bridge then offer sheet the rest would be nice

He’d know we are trying to form Voltron and look for more

 

[HBK27]

Why would he have to sign by 5pm today? I haven't seen that as any type of deadline anywhere.

 

[Devils Trap]

I havent heard this as well. Is this new?

 

[Forge]

Don't think that we are in a position to make that kind of move.

 

[ScottyK]

I know there is a cut off and it isn't midnight I thought it was 8pm est but not sure

 

[OmNomNom]

I know there is a cut off and it isn't midnight I thought it was 8pm est but not sure

isn't it midnight? if you want to sign an 8-yr contract

 

[AfroThunder396]

Today is the last day to sign 8 year term. Once the UFA period begins, a player can only be signed to a maximum 7 year contract, regardless of what teams previously held their rights.
