Doesn’t matter. 40% of 25% of the last year of his contract is nothing.Is it confirmed that we retained 40% of Mojo’s salary?
I also hope that the devils make a splash on july 1 but i think your all kidding yourselves. no big name ufa have come here and they wont be coming here. i have a sinking feeling the devils will keep all the picks. i dont see any help coming in july 1 and that the kids will be given a chance. whats that mean for hall? i dont know
damn you guys are hating on the general mojo twitter too? lol you guys must be a hoot at parties lol
The hope is to use the surplus of draft picks to acquire a more proven player or two, similar to how we acquired Palmieri and Johansson.
UFA is a crapshoot as to who will even make it there in the first place, so pinning any hope to July 1st in the first place is just wishful thinking.
Agree, plus teams almost always overpay for the production they get. UFA's are typically 27-28 and many of them get 7 year deals which means they are highly likely to be underperforming their contract by the end of it. Personally I am not interested in signing any of the top free agents in this years class, but I know that puts me in a tiny minority.The hope is to use the surplus of draft picks to acquire a more proven player or two, similar to how we acquired Palmieri and Johansson.

The fact that people are so against MoJo coming back is hilarious.
Did you not watch the last 10-15 games? He was the Devils best player, and his chemistry with Bratt was clicking at levels we haven't seen since Elias and Sykora.

if he only performs that way for a quarter of the season, and he has a history of concussions, signing him long term probably isn’t the best move. having said that, it sounds like shero isn’t interested in signing him so you may want to take it up with him
What makes you say that?

Easy to eat in order to get a 2nd and a 4th back. Not bad at all.Roughly $440k.
I don't know about historically but last year I think Tavares was the only guy to sign a 7 year deal.Agree, plus teams almost always overpay for the production they get.

IMO Shero has put the Devils in a good position moving forward. The Devils are going to get a good look at some of the young players the rest of the year, the Devils are well under the cap, and have draft capital that can be traded for players or to maneuver around during the draft to get players our scouts like. I see the light the end of the tunnel.
there were a bunch of shero quotes you can look up, but here’s a sort of summary-
if you read between the lines a bit, it’s clear mojo wasn’t part of our long term plans. mojo served a purpose here, but i think moving on is the right call
Makes one wonder about Hall. I know he is a different level of player, but the above points to building around Nico and the young guys.
Savvy answer.
if the party was as lame and tired as that twitter account, i’d drop a deuce in the host’s fish tank and leave
I don't think Shero's quotes implied they had no interest in signing him at all. I think those quotes implied they clearly thought that recouping assets for him was the better move, and if he makes it to July 1, I'm sure Devils will be calling.

if we’re adding a top 6 forward in july on a long term contract, it should be a center. hell, if the lottery gods are good to us we may very well be able to replace mojo through this year’s draft (although i’m not counting on it)
I should have written "top end" in the first sentence when I commented on the length of contract. You are probably right that the less than top end free agents go for 5. I would be more worried about how much of the time the player is in their 30's during the contract.I don't know about historically but last year I think Tavares was the only guy to sign a 7 year deal.
In general I imagine they are pretty rare. The 5 year deal is the more common.
so it ends up he's taking suggestions for a new general... *facepalm*Lol Good.
