What the ****?

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Woof.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

absolutely gross.

 

[Devils Trap]

I rather get Clowe at 4.85 then Clarkson at 6 mil + but I agree this is too steep

 

[britdevil]

Horrible.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I'd rather give $4.85M to Clowe than to Clarkson.

Can't really be that upset. This is the guy Lou wanted, hopefully Lou isn't done yet.

 

[Captain Lou]

Good. He's better and cheaper than Clarkson.

 

[Status Quo*]

**** this. so ****ing pissed. **** **** **** ****

 

[ThePSEGPowerPoster]

Good signing. Thank you Lou. Clowe is going to outproduce Clarkson for the length of that contract.

Would have preferred 4 million but no big deal.

 

[Status Quo*]

mother ****. **** **** **** eat **** **** no ****

 

[ThePSEGPowerPoster]

Ryane says he's excited to be a Devil. That he's spoke with Lou and PDB and is extremely excited to get to NJ.

 

[ghdi]

Eh. Hope we do something else too.

Another twitter account to be closed.

Clowe on TSN right now

 

[Kensu]

Going into UFA = means overpay, unless you guys are happy with sticking with the same team as last year.

I expected this.

 

[Classic Devil]

Ugh.

 

[Lou is God]

My question - who in this league would have offered Clowe a similar contract?? I bet no one but Lou still gives a sweetheart contract, not cool Lou.

 

[ThePSEGPowerPoster]

Not better...

A lot better. Look at their career numbers.

And Clarkson is awful.

 

[rtr1105]

A more physical Ponikarovsky

 

[Wingman77]

LOL so Patty is making $700K more than him, Zubrus is making $1.5m+ less than him and will likely put up similar production

Great start to free agency for us

 

[Classic Devil]

A more physical Ponikarovsky

At what, three times the cost? Ugh.

I hate free agency.

 

[gdsmack267]

You guys overpaid big time, hes worth 3-3.25 at most

 

[donlumpa]

Cheaper than Clarkson; not great, but not too bad and now it just means Anton Volchenkov is prolly gone.

 

[The Great Dame]

Bit more than I thought, but I'm pleased with this signing, I'd rather him than Clarkie at what he's gonna get so all in all good addition, now go get Brunner please

 

[NJDevilsZG]

Ouch ...
