Confirmed with Link: Weekesbomb: Palat to NJ for five-year deal

[Dialamo]

The term is meh but I really like the player. Hope the AAV is decent. Brings that winning pedigree!

 

[NJDevs26]

Not everyone, but plenty of people wanted him when it seemed like JG was destined for Philly.

I did too, but when the Isles also missed out on JG I figured they'd swoop in and give Palat some six-year deal lol

This COMPLETELY f***s our cap up. Don’t you know? He’s going to be a pile of bone dust as early as next offseason.

We saw how far a guy like Tatar deteriorated. It’s just f***ing stupid to be giving this type of commitment to non star players at 31

 

[Davegarri]

I specifically said I didn’t want Palat, even more so after we missed out on Gaudreau.

What's your plan? Be a lottery team again?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Some of you need to take a break from this forum til September.

Let’s talk in 3 years when we’re legitimate cup contenders and we can’t make the additions we want because we have a 34 year old Palat locked in at $5.5m.

You think Palat would be the difference?

 

[Devils090]

I mean I can see why people are weary of this deal(Ryane Clowe certainly comes to mind) but Palat isn’t going to breakdown like Clowe did. The deal might not age well but I think we get at least 2/3 solid seasons from him.

If you think Palat is the difference between us being a lottery team or not, I don’t know what to say. This isn’t Hedman.

 

[BurntToast]

Ehh, Chill.

If David Perron can get 10m for 2 years at 34, from the great mind of Stevey Y, then a 31 can get a 5 year deal..

Same here . Over rated 30+ year old . Sweet backup plan.

 

[Devs3cups]

It’s 6mil AAV apparently

 

[Hisch13r]

f***ing clowns. Literally the thing I wanted to stay away from

 

[Unknown Caller]

Wtf.

Oh of course. Gladly.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

I really like the player, but that's an ugly contract.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Who cares what the contract is

If we're legitimate cup contenders, trade a few picks to get him off your damn roster. Teams do it all the damn time. Let's actually get into the conversation first before we have this issue. I swear if the Devils signed Gaudreau today, some of you would've asked how we would pay Nico Daws in 2035 or some shit.

 

[Saugus]

Not great, but not as bad as that fake 7.5 that the Twitter trolls vomited out.

 

[Blackjack]

But Fitz is still good, right guys?

 

[Unknown Caller]

This offseason by Fitzgerald is slowly approaching trash territory.

 

[Hisch13r]

Should’ve just f***ing tossed Johnny 11 instead of going 6 on Palat.

 

[Devils090]

5x6?

Goodnight everyone

 

[mj2sexay]

5 x 6 for Palat is ridiculous.

Worst move of Fitz's tenure so far.
