Yeah we weren’t gonna give him 3M.

Yep. Good for Shara getting $3.1 M out of Calgary. A nice little bump. But he probably wasn’t worth that to us.

I envy the fact that you're in front of that waterfall.

I DON'T envy the fact that you just read through all 14 pages of the trade forum.

I don't know what goes into their defense metric, which don't look good on that card. His actual numbers look OK. Certainly not bottom quarter of the league bad. Maybe they skew it based on competition?

Colton doesn’t do so hot defensively with Hockey Viz either, but that’s because it’s fallen off lately.

Thank you for recognizing the year I entered this earth, Jim.

So the Calgary is going the elementary school route with their hashtag this year? Cool. Make sense with the youth movement.

Why did Kubalik get non-tendered while Sharangovich had the value of around a 2nd round draft pick? Just the fact that Shara could PK? Kubalik had a 30 goal season. Both weren't great in their 3rd seasons.

These charts make my eyes cross.

But the 5v5 heat maps just look like he's become more high event yoy. Offensive chances as well as defensive chances have both increased.

I see the ca/60, sa/60 and xga/60 all being higher for the likes of Point, Kuch and Stammer, yoy as well.

Seems like a team thing, moreso then a Colton thing.

Awesome view.

 

[rrekaj13]

not sure why there is Colton discussion here, but he is a solid middle 6er IMO

Dang, would've loved to have Ross Colton on the Devils. NJ guy and I played with his brother for a bit.

Fitz specifically targeted Palat for his leadership and intangibles, and Burakovsky lacks those in comparison, so I doubt Palat was consolation prize for missing out Burakovsky.

I meant instead of being hyper focused on Gaudreau, they could've been in on him too. They offered Palat a bit more after missing out on him, not sure how anyone can deny that

I’m saying I think there’s a real chance Fitz wouldn’t have wanted Burakovsky with a 5 year/5.5m deal and wanted Palat. He’s a shot on wheels and not much else.

This was from the July 2022 Athletic article after Palat signed. Fitz likely wasn’t so hyper-focused he couldn’t talk to more than one agent.

Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald recruited Palat, telling him he wanted an experienced veteran to help their young talented core take the next step. Fitzgerald said they made a push for Johnny Gaudreau, but Palat was at the top of their list.

Fitzgerald said both Gaudreau and Palat were at the top of their list, and it would have been challenging to fit both under the cap. There was a time where Fitzgerald thought Gaudreau was going to come to New Jersey in the process. “Yeah I would say I thought (that) because of the conversations I had with him and his wife Meredith, that we really connected,” Fitzgerald said.”I know Johnny, my (son) played with him at Boston College. I know his mom and dad. I felt like we were going to be a destination for him. But I’m guessing so were other teams. We put our best foot forward and he chose to go to Columbus for for reasons he gave. He could have gone anywhere.”

Palat could have gone a number of places, as well. Fitzgerald said they had a good idea Tampa Bay wasn’t going to be able to fit him in their cap, so he felt it was “game-on” on Wednesday when free agency opened. Palat said he heard from former Olympic teammate Patrik Elias, a Devils legend, who told him he’d love it in New Jersey.

New Devil Palat said it's been an "emotional roller coaster" the past few weeks between the playoffs then free agency.
