Devilsfan118 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think that's a very reasonable deal for our 1C for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 so is that the first time Lou sign a player before a season? ever ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Can't hate those terms. Well done, Lou and Travis just sold a lot of jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grcenter47 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Lamoriello says he does not plan to talk contract extension with Elias or Clarkson during the season but "they know what we think of them." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I guess he wasn't cool enough to have Dany Heatley recruiting him too. Probably could've gotten more than $5.75 on the open market so I'm not complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Way to get it done Lou!!! Wow, talk about coming out of the blue eh? What a relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I like it. Good cap number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) This is just the kind of news I needed. It makes me happy to see one of our great players want to stay a Devil. Edited January 16, 2013 by NJDevils1214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) This is definitely a situation where I believe we could have seen a stupid GM throw 5 years / 6-6.5m his way on the open market. So glad he's signed long term. Edited January 16, 2013 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 good cap hit but he'd had to stay a steady 60-70pts guy down that road or it would have been a liiiiiiittle too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Nick Kypreos @RealKyper #Devils Travis Zajac no trade 8yrs 46M deal. No more front loaded money. Case in pt. 1st yr 3.5M. 2 yr 5M, 3rd-6th yr 6.5M. Last two 5.75M. And that's how a contract should look, imo. (...it's a damn shame Zach's contract didn't take him one more freakin year to the new CBA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven M. Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My day is made. In Lou we Trust! Guess my next jersey will be Zajac's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My day is made. In Lou we Trust! Guess my next jersey will be Zajac's! I was thinking the same thing! I still need to find a way to get rid of my Parise jersey or have the stuff changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Oof the dumbass canadians on twitter are going around saying what a bad deal this was lololol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well the Devils finally gave something back to the fans...who would have ever guessed it would be Zajac's autograph on a max length deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLinfante Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I know Zajac denied becoming the next captain, but he does have the locker of Zach (and Langs before him). Now that Trav is locked up, he makes a good case for captain. Then again, lockers probably mean nothing and we should just be happy that we have a #1 Center for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeCups Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah, what does that dipsh!t Lou know about anything? What a zilch he is. If only he scoured more message boards, he'd have a better handle on how to do his job. If you don't think his routine of waiting until 7/1 to resign our own guys has cost us players....I don't know what to tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoArmySports Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So I'm assuming he'll be given the "C" to wear now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 who have we lost recently besides Parise which was a stupid/dopey/unique situation in the last 5 years? If you don't think his routine of waiting until 7/1 to resign our own guys has cost us players....I don't know what to tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
