DevsMan84 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Apparently Boyle left money on the table to sign with the Rags. In my 20+ years of following the Devils, I have never read or heard of an UFA doing that to sign with the Devils. (This is not counting guys like Marty who signed for less but never hit the UFA market). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 lol I think that might go down as the worst deal of the day. Way too early to say that, but definitely a contender. His cap hit is larger than Clarkson. Bolland must play a lot of Payday 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 LOLOL That's fvcking awful On it's surface its a terrible deal but my guess is that Tallon wants to get a few veterans in there to show the Panthers young players what it takes to be a professional so they don't end up like the Oilers. I think it's all about the development of their young guys. That's all I can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher72 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Not that bad, will probably score 25-30 goals. On any other team...yes. On this team, probably 10-15 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck the Duck Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 In what world is Dave Bolland worth 5 million over 5 years? In what fvcking world? That's what happens in FA. You almost always have to overpay to get players. It's also the reason that the best teams in a salary cap league aren't built through FA the way the Devils have been forced to lately due to their poor drafting.

ghdi Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 We could have given him that Sure, but would he accept it from the Devils is the question. I imagine it'd have cost more to get him here than to get him to Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, obviously we ALL know 'what happens in FA'' - and the point has been repeated a million times on this board over the years. In this case Bolland got almost double value if you ask me.

In this case Bolland got almost double value if you ask me. His value is what he got. That's the beauty of a free market. You may not think he is worth that money, but at least 1 GM did, and there were likely a few others that thought his value was close to what he eventually got.

I think in that case we should not analyze or debate any of these signings today. Edited July 1, 2014 by Neb00rs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm changing my tune. I'm very pleased with the Cammy signing. Term might be a little long, but this team needs scorers. Vanek's coming here. I have no sources, just a feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
