Goodbye Goose

Surprising they couldn't get a 6th rounder or something.

He makes $4.5 million, even at half-price no one is going to take a risk on that.

We also have only 1 more contract we can retain on, which will hopefully be Murray who would provide a decent return.

So we still have to pay him the rest of the year right? And what happens to that obligation if he signs elsewhere?

No, mutual termination ends the contract and the obligation.

Will be interesting to see how we make the cap floor next year.

Fitz this summer...

Speaking of that, good news, only 4 years left of the $250k Kovy recapture penalty

 

[NJ Fan 12]

Will be interesting to see how we make the cap floor next year.

Hopefully by re-signing two of the UFA defensemen, some bumps for the RFAs like Kuokkanen, Sharangovich, and Bastian and some veteran acquisitions such as Killorn, or the Schenns to complement the core group.

It was worth a shot but I didn’t like his game

 

[njdevils1982]

Zajac, Palmeri, Goose... all such great long term Devils

are you being serious? cant tell

sarcasm was implied! ​

 

[njdevils1982]

kind of thought so but had to make sure

 

[Oneiro]

Curious to see who takes a shot or if everyone stays away.

I hope we're done with players who can't skate.

Would have to imagine that his agent (with NJ's permission) talked to other teams already to see if there was interest before they decided terminate the contract.

I think it comes down to just before 3:00 on Monday for him to sign as he may be a backup option for several teams that are looking to make trades first.

 

[Bleedred]

When I first read this thread like an hour ago (that’s how I found out) I thought maybe someone did trade for him.

Maybe someone could sign him and retain half and then trade him to a cash strapped team that wants to ice a $350k winger

 

[TheUnseenHand]

He is a skilled, east west, slow player on a team of not so skilled, north south burners. No surprise he didn't fit in. Bummer because I like his game, it just doesn't fit this Devils team at all.

Not sure if serious

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ruff not really mincing words

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

But most of all, I’ll miss his smile. It always made me feel better my choices in life.

 

[TrufleShufle]

It’s better to have goosed and loosed than to have never goosed at all...
