Speculation: Dougie Hamilton Negotiations (Pt. 2)

[DougieSmash]

I doubt they go over 7 M/5 years for him, so he's gone.

He won't get 8.5-9 but we won't pay more than 7.

 

[Chrispy]

Edmonton is still out there and may need a replacement for Barrie. I think they pay the premium.

They will expect Hamilton to replace Barrie and Larson, which will be Hamilton’s downfall if he signs in Edmonton.

 

[Daeavorn]

Maybe the idea of the Dougie is not very physical is more prevalent than we thought? I mean I certainly don't understand why he hasn't been signed yet.

What's even more odd is we haven't heard a single thing about it. Not one leak.

That is very suspicious to me.

This morning my phone suggested an article with a headline alone the lines of "how new jersey got dougie hamilton" and I was like ughhhhh... the article was all entirely speculation that maybe the devils would be interested. I know pretty much anyone can say pretty much anything on the internet but damn. How they can get away with a title or headline or whatever like that is frustrating

 

[Tryamw]

Jones gets 9.5 x 8 holy hell... nice knowing you Dougie.

That Contract I expect will NEVER be a good one.. I'm not saying he's not worth much dollars. but that was Ludacris..

 

[SlavinAway]

I know it's different circumstances but does Makar at 6x$9M as has been rumored help us any?

True but he will be rolling in Canadian $.....

 

[Svechhammer]

I am legitimately worried about our defense if we enter free agency with Slavin, Pesce, Skjei and Gardiner as our only NHL quality defennsemen in the organization.

Moreso if we are trying to rummage the bargain bin again in net

It looks ugly, but there is a scenario where it actually isn't that bad.

If Toews is fully healthy, then Chicago has a 1st PP of Jones/DeBrincat/Kane/Toews/Kubalik. In that case, Jones could put up offensive numbers close to John Carlson, and Jones is definitely 1.5M better defensively than Carlson.

It will really depend on health in Chicago. Toews, as I said, and Dach being fully healthy make Chicago a much better team, maybe even a top 10 in the league team.

I'd still rather have Pietrangelo. Note Neither of the guys above him is a good contract either. (Karlson and Doughty.) IMO.

Rumor: - Mutual interest between Devils & Dougie Hamilton 7 years/$63M

Bye, bye.

Bye, bye.

I wonder if he'll drive his chevy to the levy.

 

[Wolfpuck]

He’s all yours Jersey. Enjoy that contract.

So, Subban with some retention to CAR (only due $2M in real cash), a pick to Seattle for said retention and Hamilton’s rights to NJD sound about right?

I want nothing to do with Subban. Hes a premadonna and a troll who has fallen off a cliff. No.

Subban seems pretty cooked. I'd want a good asset from NJ along with Subban at 50% retained. Or to avoid trading for him altogether.

 

[Chrispy]

No to Subban.

My gut says Goligoski ends up signing here.

 

[FreshSeabass]

Serverson would be more of interest if they were willing to part with him. Believe the canes were previously interested at one point in time.

 

[GoldiFox]

Yandle is reportedly signing today. I think he makes some sense at 1 year x $1-2 million, but only if Hamilton is gone. Especially with Bean being traded.

 

[Borsig]

this rumor makes the Bean thing look worse

Yandle to Canes. No, heck NO

 

[Borsig]

Id Rather give deangelo a show me deal than Have Subban

 

[FreshSeabass]

Everything ive read on the twittersphere says yandle going to broons. But who really knows.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

What? Subban is an awesome human being. His play has just fallen off a cliff, as happens with players who rely on their skating when the years and injuries pile up.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Bean isn’t close to Hamilton
