Speculation: Will Michael Cammalleri get a contract?

[MMC]

Obviously he’s not what he used to be but he still scored 29 points in 66 games. Will he be able to get a contract?

I doubt it. Brain and hands are still good but he can’t skate anymore. Probably KHL bound.

I don't think he gets a contract. I believe he should retire he had two good reasons for the devils scoring 27 and 20 goals then his injuries came into play and when he was healthy couldn't find the back of the net. If he does manage to get signed I can see him pulling a Brian Gionta with the Bruins late in the year on a contender.

All he's really good for anymore is that filthy leg kick, back hand 5 hole shootout move.

I can't wait for when Kyle Baun gets a thread

 

[Lukin1978]

Stick a fork in him he's done

Enjoy the good life, head to Europe for a season or 2 and bank money.

All the young guys are pushing the olders guys out of the league

PTO? Can see a team like Buffalo maybe offering one.

 

[Jumptheshark]

PTO

 

[TML1967]

PTO or a 1 way deal in the AHL.

Give him a full year to rehab all the injuries and try and get some of his legs back.
Was always a gud pro

Been the trend since about 1917 or so

 

[pheasant]

I don't think he does. But I'm sort of hoping he does.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Maybe a PTO somewhere... But I doubt any actual signing. Off to Euro or KHL for him if he wants to keep on playing.

Not really, 5-10 years ago old veteran players were favored over young players

 

[PensandCaps]

...a Metro team should sign him...he'll be good for 7 goals vs the Pens.

Thought LA got a steal on him last offseason and that turned into a bust

 

[AlphaBravo]

He wasn't given a decent chance to showcase what he has in Los Angeles. He was initially slotted on the first line to play with Kopitar and Brown. But rookie Alex Iafallo turned heads during training camp and ended up securing that spot. Cammy was unfortunately not effective in a bottom 6 role and couldn't hold a spot on the roster as a result. I think he is still a good option for a team that needs a top 6 winger. I think if he is given the chance, he is still good for 15-20 goals.

agreed. I was surprised when the devils bought him out as when healthy I thought he was one of their better forwards and they did not need the cap room

Cammalleri is not really a centre. He only has 1 season of 500+ FO and only 5/15 over 300 FO. For reference, 154 players took 300+ FO last year. That is 4.96 player per team.

He's a winger that can play some centre.

I think that's the joke?

 

[Kamiccolo]

PTO imo. Maybe he goes the Clune route and becomes a good pro mentor for an AHL team while making decent money and getting to still play. After a few years he can transition onto the coaching staff.
