Devilsfan118 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Jesus the frustration of the offseason is really getting to people this year I'll bet Jagr is signed by Wednesday, whether here or somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLL765 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I think you are simply adorable. ----------------- I'm hoping this news moves along; it would make it much easier to start talking realistically about playoff chances and line combos once we know who we're dealing with. Also, the more Lou talks about "a kid playing defense" the more the Zidlicky deal confuses me. Yeah, it's a very cheap signing for a guy like that, but... Hmm. To me, it kinda smells like a just in case one of the young guys doesn't work out fail-safe deal. Somebody could always be moved at the deadline, hell, even Zid might be someone who could go, assuming someone grabs that last spot on the D corps.

I think it's more people want all this free-agent BS to get done and to be able to start focusing on getting up for the season. This waiting to see if we sign Brunner, Jagr or someone else and lock up Henrique is frustrating. Nobody seems to be in a hurry to get it done...well I guess it give us fans stuff to talk about all summer while we wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of it. It'd be easier if people realized that most inside sources are bullsh!t. And don't worry once free agency is 'over', then you'll see the trades coming that teams have to make to get under the salary cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Jesus the frustration of the offseason is really getting to people this year I'll bet Jagr is signed by Wednesday, whether here or somewhere else. to me its the past 3 offseasons, its been hell literally, never has a fan i remember been able to just relax and wait for hockey to start. 2010: 1- Zach's contract talks part 1 / arbitration 2- the NEVERENDING Kovy saga 3- The contract penalty 4- have to start a season and play a man short cause Lou handled the cap terribly and players had to play with that black cloud on top of their head knowing someone had to go. 5- Bankruptcy rumours looming 6- terrible (if not worst ever) start of the season + Zach's injury 7-missing the playoffs The draft expectations and drafting Larsson we're good points i guess. 2011: 1- Bankruptcy rumours looming again 3- Zach's contract talks part 2 / him leaving Cup run was of course fun, thank god. 2012: 1- Missing the playoffs again 2- Clarkson walking 3- Eternal financial trouble talks 4- Kovy fvcking retiring of course im not saying everything of the past 3 years we're bad, but as fans we had to go through a fvcking crazy amount of sh!t compared to other teams. Seems like we're ALWAYS waiting for a situation to get resolve and until it's done we're just waiting and waiting and waiting all nervous hoping for the best, very annoying after awhile. I'd just like to have all our team signed not having to worry about losing our top players, confident in the team for the upcoming season, confident about the team structure and financial stability. Its not that much to ask to me? lol Edited July 21, 2013 by SterioDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin226 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Slightly ironic only because, when I first joined this forum and became a more avid fan, the main complaint was that our offseasons were too boring and bland.. Maybe we get what we ask for? Edited July 22, 2013 by Colin226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezer34 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Slightly ironic. The main complaint was that our offseasons were too boring and bland. ..good point. Since 2006 between trade-deadline(s) & free agency, it's been roughly about 1 project "name" player per season: Mogilny, Shanahan, Arnott, Kovalchuk, Schneider, Sykora, possibly Jagr. Kovy the signing was obviously great, but Kovy the trade was widely considered a rental.. and that the Devils wouldn't be able to afford him come July.

SS#4-Life Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 i always thought that boring stuff w/the devils was unfair andnever really agreed w/it. i can remember great trades and signings from the late 90's of andreychuk thomas housley gilmore nichols broten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezer34 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 i can remember great trades and signings from the late 90's of andreychuk thomas housley gilmore nichols broten Early 90's too.. Peter Stastny, Slava Fetisov, Walt Poddubny, Claude Lemieux, Stephane Richer. Lou will give you at least 1 name per season, be it an all-star player.. or older veteran. The exception came between 2001 & 2005 -which is where the boring moniker comes from. Albeit the Niewendyk transaction there were very little flashy trades\signings during these years, because with homegrown talent like: Brodeur, Gomez, Daneyko, Rafalski, Elias, Sykora, Niedermayer, Gionta, Madden, White, etc.. there really didn't need to be! Meanwhile the rest of the league was spending money like maniacs on "SuperStar Teams." Between 2001 & 2004, the Colorado Avalanche had; Sakic, Roy, Foote, Bourque, Kasparaitis, Blake, Deadmarsh, Forsberg, Selanne, Kariya, Hejduk, Tanguay & Drury. The 2002 & 2003 Redwings had; Chelios, Datsyuk, Hull, Hasek, Lidstrom, Fedorov, Larionov, Shanahan, Yzerman, Murphy, Joseph, Robitaille, Schneider, Zetterberg. Then of course the Rangers with Messier, Leetch, Gretzky, Fleury, Graves, Richter, Bure, Lindros, Nedved, Kovalev, Holik, Jagr, etc. The Devils throughout these years, were successful not only through losing players like Arnott, Sykora, Mogilny, Holik.. but by doing practically nothing during July.. and with Grant Marshall deadline deals. To say other fanbases became a tad jealous would be an understatement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Zdenek Janda @zdenek_janda 22m The situation around Jaromir Jagr has stabilized. He should sign the contract with New Jersey Devils today... Finally... #jagr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 My worry is that Jagr will want to bug Stevens about how he contained him so well - then he'll ruin his whole game fixing himself and we'll be on the hook for a broken Jagr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
