[Devils Trap]

Some convenient timing to say the least for NJD. Who do they spend it on?? Gibson?

[Mr Kot]

go for tanev and a goalie I would say

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

 

[Russian_fanatic]

I'd put money that Tanev/Hanifin will be a Devil. They can absorb their contracts and they have some nice assets.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

I mean all that money comes right back (or goes away?) when Hamilton returns. It would be different if he were out for the season.

No salary cap in the playoffs

 

[Jerzey Devil]

No salary cap in the playoffs

Really? Didn’t realize that. That is pretty good news then.

 

[dirtydanglez]

not much out there right now for dmen

 

[Mrfenn92]

Really? Didn’t realize that. That is pretty good news then.

It is yes.

 

[TMLegend]

Lol. Yeah, I bet he'll be fully recovered just in time for game 1 of the playoffs.

Can’t imagine them pulling the trigger on one now. Have to imagine them waiting closer to deadline time to see where they are at.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Really? Didn’t realize that. That is pretty good news then.

It comes back next season though, obviously. We don’t have a lot of money coming off the books and have to re-sign Mercer and McLeod.

 

[letsgowings9999]

Jeff Petry for the low low cost of a 1st

 

[Stephen]

Curious to see if the Devils will spend significant futures to patch things up to get into the playoffs.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lol. Yeah, I bet he'll be fully recovered just in time for game 1 of the playoffs.

To be fair, Devils need to worry about making the playoffs first.

 

[Metroid]

Hmm convenient eh? :

 

[GoBoltz56]

No salary cap in the playoffs

We call it "pulling a Kucherov" around these parts

 

[My3Sons]

So Nemec gets sent back down? Bahl gets sent packing?

 

[Luck 6]

Hahah I really don't see how this is still allowed. Even if it isn't on purpose, salary cap should apply in the playoffs, you shouldn't be able to operate 9mil above the cap.

 

[Mrfenn92]

We call it "pulling a Kucherov" around these parts

Go even further back in time “pulling a Patrick Kane”.

 

[Chips]

Conspiracy time!

 

[Jerzey Devil]

It comes back next season though, obviously. We don’t have a lot of money coming off the books and have to re-sign Mercer and McLeod.

Yeah we can really only sign someone with an expiring contract unless we’re sending contracts back to whoever the trade partner is.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Merzlikins come on down

 

[violaswallet]

Fleury?

 

[Devils Trap]

Yeah we can really only sign someone with an expiring contract unless we’re sending contracts back to whoever the trade partner is.

Believe their premise will be they can spend to go "all in" and then worry about next year, next year
