GDT: Free Agency Frenzy is here - NHLN coverage starts 11 AM

[Emperoreddy]

Wish we had a GM like Lou who is out there making noise by signing plugs left and right while losing his star player.

What is Urbom up to these days? I remember the outrage when we lost him on waivers.

It was the GOAT on this forum.

At least since the pre-2013 posts disappeared, along with the likes of the ''Kurtis Foster must go NOW!'' and ''Mark Fraser files for arbitration'' threads.

I remember the outrage continuing when Urbom scores his lone Capitals goal and one of his 2 points in 20 games. He scored a weak ass goal on Evgeni Nabokov's skeleton and people were so sad that he was firing away goals. Or should I say ''A goal''. People were screaming how it was horrible asset management by Lou. You could have pointed the finger at Lou over plenty of things then, but who gave a f*** about Urbom?

There should be shirts made in the spirit of the Devils shirts: DD vs. HFBoards

To be fair, him doing that when Gomez left got us Zubrus, who was perfect in every single way.

 

[Bleedred]

Oh f***, AND it was the Panthers who signed MacDonald?

Better plan the parade for next June! Sunrise? Fort Lauderdale? Miami? South Beach? There'll be plenty of options!

oh god, not another succeeding defenseman!

too much personnel, SELL THE FARM! ASSETS ASSETS ASSETS!

Also this:

I wasn’t fretting, Leo

Yeah, the first time we signed Zubrus it worked out, but we gave him too much term the second time around.

2018-2019 - The Rise of Michael Kapla

 

[Blender]

Jon Merrill getting picked by Vegas all over again.

(As in, very much not a big deal).

I'm devastated that Merill didn't put up his 3 points in 34 games here last season.

 

[Darkauron]

Kapla didn't seem like anything too special when he played for us this year tbh

 

[NJDevs26]

It doesn't sound like we made him a decent offer.

Not good....

How would you know what it sounds like? All we know was they did offer him an NHL contract and he declined and decided to go FA. We have no idea of the terms of our offer beyond that. It’s this kind of over the top hyperbole that sends discussions off the rails.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

oh God, the Jon Merrill debates

those were fun times

[Darkauron]

Well f*** him then

 

[OmNomNom]

once again, i love julie, and so does everyone in here and @Devils Dominion

who is (an)drew ruscil? maybe it's someone in here

 

[RSeen]

Ryan Ellis is a fascinating name to keep an eye out on. He is on the last year on his deal and is absolutely a top pair Dman. I'd definitely look to add him if him and the Preds can't agree on a deal.

 

[ThePrideofStockholm]

Urbom is back in Sweden, on The first defencive pair with Josefsson as his center......on My home town team...

They could get a lot for him, what would we be giving up?

 

[OmNomNom]

Well **** him then

he joins the ranks of other fellow ex devils legends reece scarlett and graham black

 

[Better Call Sal]

Pfft, lies, we didn't offer anything competitive.

 

[Triumph]

oh God, the Jon Merrill debates

those were fun times

You talk about them like they're over.

 

[Tundra]

Could McDonald carve out a career like Ron Hainsey?

 

[OmNomNom]

You talk about them like they're over.

hahaha that got a legit chuckle out of me

i still think he's a functional 6/7D though
