MantaRay Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 What do we need? I think we are pretty stacked: Brylin/Elias-Gomez-Gionta Langs-Madden-Pando Oliwa-Ras-Marshall Freeze-Parise-Kozlov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 At this point I bet we don't have much cap space. Getting a consistent scorer will take a trade.Too bad we have nothing to offer for Gagne (aside from the fact that Lou and Clarke won't deal with each other) that the Flyers would want. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gagne's a RFA. If we wanted to be dicks, we could just make him an offer that the Flyers can't match because they still have to worry about Esche and Johnsson too. And they're tight on cap space, even with the Loud Mouth trade. I just don't know if we have the cap space ourselves to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Sure they can handle the Flyers size. But can the handle Forsberg's talent?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 wow, way too much for Vlad. He will see some serious ice time for that cash ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyNice Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Holy crap we overpaid. $4.1 per for Raffy $3.6 per for Malkhov That's Nieds' money. We are really up against it now. I was hoping we had signed the three guys (McGillis, Raffy, Malakhov) for a bout $5M so we could go after someone else. Now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langs15 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The Devils had to go elsewhere to shore up their defence and did so by re-signing unrestricted free agent Brian Ralalski to an $8.4 million, two-year deal-as well as getting veteran blue-liners Dan McGillis and Vladimir Malakhov under contract. Malakhov signed a $7.2 million, two year deal."We couldn't just sit there and brood over it," Lamoriello said. "We made a substantial offer (to Niedermayer) and did tie up a considerable amount of money, but then had another plan should that not work out. And we feel extremely comfortable with our defence right now."In fact we're excited with what McGillis, Malakhov and Rafalski will bring." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> we dont have that much cap room. Or did we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'm not surprised at those contract amounts, they're what I would expect them to get relative to the market so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langs15 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Oliwa and Langdon should be traded for a good 1st round draft pick and then we can trade that for a good forward. (probs not going to hhappen but still) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwindog Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I think Lou has been reading my posts. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> or sitting at the same bar stool Nah the talent doesn't bother me but who's going to pull it together?
