But what can he gain in negotiations from not releasing the contracts details ??

Maybe he's still trying to move pieces around and if teams know our exact cap hit standing, it takes away his leverage. For example, maybe he's on the phone with a team far from the cap floor about Rolston, if teams knew we were desperate, price goes up to take him, maybe?

Chere may have just confirmed my theory: Devils still looking to make a trade.

Chere on top of things:

Devils may be done with free agents but are looking to make a trade, according to GM Lou Lamoriello.

Devils GM Lou Lamoriello: "We'll see if a trade can be made. For us to make any addition, we have to make a subtraction."

Lou Lamoriello told me he would now concentrate on signing first-round draft pick Adam Larsson.

I'm convinced Lou doesn't release terms to gain any possible advantage in other negotiations - other teams not knowing our cap space.

The only way details are released are through player agents (ala Grossman)

I think Lou could give a fvck if a bunch of fans on the internet can't discuss the details of the deals.

Harsh but true.

That's probably bang-on true.

Lamoriello said re-signing Parise "is a priority even today, but he will be here and I think that will take care of itself."

Overpayment in an inflated market for sure.

The amount of money that gets handed out every year is just unreal. Take what a player is worth and add at least 33% to it. That's likely what you have to pay to get/keep him.

TG's got jokes ...

This Brad Richards' bidding is way too much like the Lebron James silliness last summer when teams went in one by one to meet with him.

Maybe the Rangers will send Isaiah Thomas up to try to seal the deal.
