MadDog2020 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think we are done for now. Don't see us adding Brunner. We need Brunner. That needs to get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 1 year $3.5 million. Ill take that. Now to get a Jagr jersey Is this accurate? That sounds fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeCups Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I hope you are right. But this a band-aid and not a good long term strategy in building a winner. It is a nice addition for a last push for Marty I think it can help. It's not like this was Lou's only offseason move. He addressed the goaltending situation for the long term future, and added a couple of other good forwards in Clowe and Ryder. Add the Olesz move and a few of the kids that will make the big club out of camp...I am excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick17112 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Is this accurate? That sounds fair. It will be spot on later/ tomorrow when announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharifijanov2099 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't think there's any money left for Brunner at this point since Henrique isn't announced yet. How much do we have remaining at this point, 3m? Seems to me that to sign a Brunner, you'd need to jettison another D like Sal/Volch, but as has been said countless times on this board, those are not attractive options to other teams, so pipe dream.

NJCroMag Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 At this stage of his career, can we still go with the "Mario Jr" anagram on his first name? Or do we have to downgrade it to something like "Mr Irajo"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ has 10 million in cap space right now, without including Jagr. So there is room for Henrique, Jagr, and another good player, most likely.

Seems to me that to sign a Brunner, you'd need to jettison another D like Sal/Volch, but as has been said countless times on this board, those are not attractive options to other teams, so pipe dream. According to Capgeek, we have $10,129,166 left. If Jagr got $3.5, that's $6,629,166 left. Say Henrique signs for $2-2.5M, we really have around $4,129,166-4,629,166. Plenty to sign one more guy. Not sure if it happens though. Where would another wing fit in the lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsadvoc8 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I hope you are right. But this a band-aid and not a good long term strategy in building a winner. OFC this is a band aid and it doesn't impact long term strategy since it is only 1 year. Unless Lou can rob another team, the only thing he can do is band-aids at the moment. With limited ice time other than PP, we'll see what Jagr can give us. Expectations should not be high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't think the Devils will be signing Brunner. I think they will be moving a defenseman and one of the kids will play the point, either on the 1st or 2nd PP unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 At worst he's a half year contract, at best he becomes a PP weapon for us. I see it as a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby89 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 100% agree on Brunner. Would love to move a dman, just a question of where. Colorado could use d help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
