Dreger: Devils close to moving out pieces

[Deen]

I mean c'mon, man

Those are decent pieces MAN. He is a UFA next year.

 

[Deen]

That’s awful.

Again... He is a UFA next year.

 

[Csonked Out]

Again... He is a UFA next year.

He has 1 more year left after this year. It's a terrible offer for last years MVP.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

ahh damn Hall is UFA after next season, guess we better dump him for whatever slop we can!!!

 

[Jerzey Devil]

It’s like people think if they can trick a couple of people on a message board into thinking that their proposal is good then the GM’s will think it’s good too.

IIRC, the rumor was a base of Wood and Gudbranson - which I didnt particularly like

When was this

It was last offseason prior to Wood signing his extension.

FYI, the "rumor" was some Nucks fan posting on HF that "apparently a Miles Wood and Erik Gudbranson deal was discussed" with no source and no one credible backing it up.

Value of: - Miles Wood (Devils)

That's literally it, this one guy posting on HF is the entire rumor.

it was Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Athletic and it was tweeted and in his article in october

I posted it in the devils team talk thread.

well gladly take Monahan for him

They’re decent...how exactly do they set the Devils up for the next decade?

For the league MVP? Those pieces suck ****

 

[CartographerNo611]

Lovejoy at 50 percent retained would be some solid depth for a contending team. Pretty decent number 6-8.

I looked at your quote and this guy said it was "a rumor that has been floating around for a while" that the Devils asked about Gudbranson's availability, and then added his personal speculation about Wood.

Even if the part about Gudbranson is true, which is a big if, that in no way means Wood was offered or discussed in any way. He only connected the two together because Wood was holding out, which is a pretty stupid reason.

So yeah, this is nothing. Not a sourced rumor, just a thing he heard that 'was floating around'. Water cooler talk. The random guy on HF has just as much credibility here.

No - its a fact NJ called about Gudbranson, the speculation was if it involved Wood or not.

Considering its from a leading Vancouver insider, I doubt he just makes shit up. Also this was before Wood signed

 

[Deen]

you don't actually think thats a good offer do you?

Two first rounders, Neal, and Kylingnton is a solid offer for Hall who likely won't re-sign.

A mid to late 1st, a 3rd line center, a border line AHL/NHL defenseman, and one of the worst contracts in the league for Hall.... I can’t believe some of us Devils fans wouldn’t want to do it!

Well when he walks and you get zip you might re-think that.

 

[devils29]

Well when he walks and you get zip you might re-think that.

So according to you, it would be better for the devils to take a late first and 4 years of Neal (4goals, 6 assists, -11 this year) at 5.75m than let Hall walk for nothing. Yeah I think we’d rather let him walk for nothing

Neal isn't bad. He is just stuck on the 3rd line.

sir, do you know that the Calgary Flames are not, in fact, the only other team in the NHL?

 

[Volica]

I would rather lose Hall for nothing than take that hot garbage.

Wow. A first, a young big centre and a up-and-coming modern NHL D (who at one point of time was projected to be a top pick in his draft) is hot garbage. That'd be a better package than 99% of TDL deals.
Not that I'm saying another team wouldn't offer something better; but... man... what a ridiculous take.

I like how you conveniently left out Neal's anchor of a contract. Also what does it matter that Kylington was "At one time projected to be a top pick"? Hes 21 already, his draft status matters not anymore.

For the reigning league MVP, that is a horrific offer. Period.

Your descriptions of Bennett and Kylington are pretty generous

I'm leaving Neal out in general, because a player that'd make money work isn't someone that'll be an anchor for 4 more years. It'd be more along the lines of an expiring deal... but man... yikes.

I hope Hall re-signs in Jersey.

It was Jankowski.

Oh Jesus Christ, you’re expecting Hall to be a deadline deal?
