bruins4777 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 i don't think the devs are in too much danger of the cap honestly....not too many wild cards and you already know ari's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) If this really is legit, where are the Devils getting all this money from? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, Lou did help write the new CBA. We'll need to check the fine print closely. (If they ever release it! ) "Section 8, Paragraph 2: The salary cap shall be calculated as 54% of the league revenue divided by 30 teams.*" "*The New Jersey Devils may spend up to double that amount." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well it hasn't shown up on TSN or apparently anywhere else yet so who knows. But seriously, if true Lou HAS to know something the rest of us don't. The Devils can't keep (apparently) going over the cap. If he's got an under the table agreement to trade someone or a few players to another team, the other team better not go back on their word Big Brother style If Elias is hurt more seriously than is being reported than I'm not exactly going to do cartwheels over Mogilny's return cause then we'd be replacing our best skater with a nearly shot 36-year old Mogilny. BTW not for nothing, if Mogilny gets put on IR HIS salary doesn't count against the cap Edited August 17, 2005 by Hasan4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Even if it's true, that puts them at around 35 mill and that excludes Friesen. This would be w/o Elias counting towards the cap. They could be swinging some blockbusters. P.S. I love Mogilny. He and Gomez once teamed up on a great line. Only thing is with his hip, you never know how much is left in the tank. But he'll put out max effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) Very interesting... this came out of nowhere. Lou said that he wasn't done, and I guess he wasn't kidding. I always liked Almo, happy to see that he is back. I just hope he is healthy and plays well with Gomez and Brylin again.

Z-Man Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Jeez, I take a nap, and I wake up to this!?!?!?! Something big needs to go down now. A 3 for 1 deal or something. Even if they use the Elias situation to their advantage, they need to be under the cap when he comes back. That may buy Lou some time, but he'll eventually have to move someone.

NJDevs4978 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I had to change the title ever so slightly, there's really been no confirmation anywhere else (looked on the NHLPA website, the Devils' site, ESPN and TSN) and sportsnet historically is not perfect.

vadvlfan Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I dont like it. Hes old, hurt, past his prime, and yea where are we getting this magic money from? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I sincerely agree with the above post. Out half the year, and you dont know for sure he'll be 100%. Dont understand this one. I should, I guess, be happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueNJ97 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If this is true we can be certain about a few things: (1) Stevens isn't coming back (sorry, PK/DD, but maybe they will let him set up a full time kissing booth at home games in his retirement as a way to try and attract fans) (2) Elias is going to be out for a pretty long time (3) Somebody's ass is getting traded as soon as Elias is back if not sooner (4) There was a lot about those old contracts for the 10 players that were already signed that we didn't know about because they must have contained lots of (a) deferred $$$ or (b) bonus payments that don't exist now...otherwise Lou would be in very deep sh!t and there is no way he could do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Not buying it. I see no confirmation on TSN or anywhere else. I do not think Lou would sign Mogilny for 3.5. At most Alex would come back for 2.5. Anyway, we'll see what it's like in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My thoughts exactly. This is one of those times when Lou feels like God, but in a bad way; you know, like "I don't understand what you're doing, but I know you have a plan... and would you just give us a freakin' sign already?!?!?" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> HAHA! Dude man you're on crack. Yes Almo! I called it. There was NO reason for him not to come back. No demand for him, why not go back to the place that totally spun his career around. He always said he loved it here. Yes! I love this move. Gomez has got to be thrilled too. But damn 3.5 a year, I hope that doesn't mean Elias isn't coming back for awhile. I doubt it, Elias has said in the past how great it was for Lou to give him that qualifing offer when he knew about how Elias possibly couldn't return for awhile. Lou knows the ways to beat around this new CBA. As Oasis says "It's all part of the masterplan..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) I really wish TSN or some other major site would just report that Sportsnet is wrong with a big headline. SPORTSNET WRONG Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate)'s blog more accurate, better scoops I dunno. Just a thought.

thefiestygoat Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If this is true then I can't wait to see what Lou has in the making in terms of a trade or something. I have always loved Mogliny but I am worried about giving out this much money to a guy his age with his injury problems. Neverless, I will continue to drink the kool-aid, with rum of course,...lots of rum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I keep checking all the sites even watched News 12 NJ- NOTHING! Until another source I'm skeptical that it's true. It's 11:00 pm in NJ I'm not going to stay up for a confirmation that may not come. Good night all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 This can't be correct. Almo would be a good signing for this team, but for that kind of moeny. Surely there couldn't be that kind of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
