Curious that Burlon is not among them.

600k backup is pretty ballin. has to be one year right? play his way into a solid backup stop and get 1M+ next year

 

[Devils Dominion]

Clermont still in the mix is interesting

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Isn't Burlon a RFA? Which almost all were given QOs?

Wedge+Clermont for 15-16 A-Devs?

Who else aside from Burlon was not tendered a contract?
Hoeffel?

Lou said some RFAs down the chain wouldnt be QO'd

Hoeffel?

Boychuk, Pelly, and Young were the other UFAs. I know Boychuk and Young weren't given offers. Not sure about Pelley and Hoeffel.

I think McPherson could be next d-man up. Stable player, led d-men in +/-, big guy, more mature then most in Albany.

I think it's certainly possible, especially if the team wants to let Severson mature. Although Helgeson is there too, and I'm optimistic about Hrabarenka.

According to Capgeek, we have the following RFAs unsigned:

Burlon
Pesonen (to Switzerland)
Tedenby (to KHL)
Timmins
Urbom (to KHL)
Wohlberg

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Shame about Burlon and Hoeffel (If Burlon wasn't offered). Two former 2nd rounders who didn't crack the lineup. Had hopes for both. Burlon a better, mobile version of Colin White, and Hoeffel a 3rd/4th line grinder with size.

Did Urbom sign to KHL?

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Did Urbom sign to KHL?

Yup, with the Severstal Cherepovets.

 

[SeidoN]

Timmins should be signed he was great

 

[devilsblood]

Yup, with the Severstal Cherepovets.

Welp a lot of that log jam has been cleared then. Volch and Fayne up top, Urbom, Burlon amongst the prospects.

And none via trade. Is there really no market for any of these guys?

Loved that save.

 

[Devils Trap]

Kinda weird that Clermont is making more money then Kinkaid... Albeit only 5k more lol

Clermont is going to be in the AHL so his NHL salary doesn't really matter

Hoeffel skates very well but doesn't offer anything else.
A morbidly bad pick by Conte at the time.

Devils Brass just hasn't seen enough out of Burlon over the last few seasons. Numbers game.

Someone mentioned McPherson in another post, he is not close to being NHL ready from the games I saw him.

 

[Devils Dominion]

It still is odd though, right?

Conte is Odd.

Lou is Odd.

All of Devils management is ODD.


What did you expect? Something normal and logical?

Seems Kinkaid's agent did put a higher value on his AHL salary and was probably willing to give up a bit NHL salary in return. (Kinkaid gets 105k in the AHL to Clermont who gets 50k according to capgeek). Might also have to do with how qualifying offers for RFA's are calculated (it's a couple of % added to the old salary).

 

[Bleedred]

Loved that save.

And we didn't even give him another period of work after that.
