Rumor: Miles Wood and Devils not having contract discussions right now
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date
Probably a similar situation with Severson last year. Devils gave him short and long term offers and the ball was in Severson's court with which route he preferred.
And as I understand it, Wood is not eligible to sign an offer sheet due since he doesn't meet the service time (three pro seasons) requirements.

There sure seems to be a sizeable amount of bigger name players without deals right now, especially with some camps opening tomorrow.

Would be nice if they got him signed. One of the fastest skaters in the NHL, still some room to grow, has good size with that speed and his hands caught up to his a feet a bit more than the year before. A player you should want to keep.

I'm a Detroit fan and I'm here.

Hi, I'm mat.
Not 100% uncommon, Ray didn't sign Severson until camp eve last yr. Wood doesn't have arb rights this yr or next yr. He'll sign soon. He has zero leverage.

Devils trade three third liners and a mid-first for the best defenceman in the NHL?
I mean while I wouldn't put it past the Sens I'm gonna say probably not.
Maybe still obscure outside of New Jersey, but Wood had a reasonably productive 2nd full NHL season. His 16 even strength goals were on par with guys like Joe Pavelski, Anthony Mantha, Jake Guentzel, William Nylander, amongst others. Tremendous speed, but his hands/hockey sense are still catching up to put it nicely.
I can understand why it's a weird contract to negotiate. Wood put up those numbers usually playing bottom six minutes, so his agent is probably projecting him to do better with more ice time in the future.
I heard they both agreed to 2 year bridge deal they just can't agree on the dollar. Miles Wood might be asking a bit much cause he got 19 goals last year and was a sufficient 5 on 5 goal scorer.

I really like this player. Feel like within a few seasons everyone is going to want this kid on their team. Lots of moxy

So... what are you? What are you made of? What is your line of thinking? Are you prepared to sacrifice your being for dissection so we can figure out this cryptic puzzle?
