I can't believe this shit is happening right now.

Did everyone take their Prozac today?

Did everyone take their Prozac today?

There is not enough to go around in here.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Did everyone take their Prozac today?

I replaced a molar with cyanide, so I’m ready to go at a moments notice.

Once again: I told you so. We're the Devils. We're the second-worst franchise over the past decade. You are naive for thinking it wouldn't come to a worst case scenario.

Just stop, your posts are becoming insufferable.

NO!

 

[RangerDoggo]

But they're right

 

[FooteBahl]

Bratt has wanted Columbus ever since he was born and the Devils are lucky to have drafted him

Bright lights and big cannon, brah!

 

[Lou is God]

But they're right

No, they're not even close.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Did everyone take their Prozac today?

I’m out. Tic Tac?

 

[RangerDoggo]

No, they're not even close.

I said he was going to arbitration when nobody else was willing to entertain it.

The hell does that have to do with anything?

Give me a break. Fitz got Dougie to sign here, signed Hughes and Hischier to REALLY reasonable long term deals.

It's not the team's fault Bratt's agent is an asshole... two negotiations in a row. Even before he put up his great year... caused him to miss camp. Here we go again. This absolute bad faith between the player/agent and the team. Fitz said at the draft they have an offer on the table that is long term and shows financial commitment to the player from the owners. There seems to have been no negotiating from Bratt's camp.

Bratt has to know that once this goes to arbitration, why would Fitz want to go through this crap again next year with this dude's agent?

Then don't be like a 12-year-old (unless you are) and start with "I told you so" crap. Even clocks are right twice a day. Once if you're doing military time.

When nothing is happening = this shit is happening. It happens. Shit?

Congratulations here's your doom and gloom trophy...

 

[njdevil26]

Indeed. The shit that is happening IS the nothing that is happening.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Pretty wild that people like Friedman are asleep at the wheel here too. Not that he's being given real time information, but a player of Bratt's caliber going to arbitration is pretty significant and there's just radio silence.

And you can hear the faint sound of no one caring if you laid off the tooting of your own horn.

To me that just supports the theory that there has been no negotiation or response from Bratt and his agent. Even when he's had to talk about he he said there's pretty much nothing going on.

You figure one of the big guys would have came out a while ago and said he was on his way to arbitration. He's the best player in at least the last 5 years to go...

who really cares? we either sign him long term or we trade him for a nice return
