Jerzey Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 He was awesome on the pk but he was definitely a little overpaid and had the extra year on his contract as opposed to Salvador's only one remaining year. Smart move by Lou IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 https://twitter.com/EricEngels/statuses/483448660189929473 Someone is offering Gionta more than the Habs are ($5 mil per year).

I'd speculate a team could be the Sabres. Gionta is a NY kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher72 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'd speculate a team could be the Sabres. Gionta is a NY kid. With every fiber of my being, I hope you're right.. My only fear is that his brother plays for NJ and Lou's penchant for former Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 thatd be amazing. but don't sleep on Ryan O'Reilly, i personally think he may be a better option if we can pry him from the Avs (or an offer sheet, however that all would have to play out) jesus, i am awfully nervous at who those teams are It was reported that NJ, Florida and someone else had discussion with his agent... cant remember now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyP. Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 No worries - like everyone else I don't believe Єklund (2.3% accurate) either.. Didn't know he reported it, don't check his site much. I saw Bob Mac report it. He's usually iron clad with his reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Devils have bought out more. Edited June 30, 2014 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmann422 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Good luck Anton. If fayne is gone too, who plays the right side on the pk next year? Larsson and Merrill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Oh well...nice to clear up that money. Considering there was serious concern that Volch and Sal would both be here next season, this is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say the Habs are offering $5 million per year, that's just what he made on his last contract. He's not getting $5 million per on this contract, I don't care if thirty teams have contacted him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It doesn't say the Habs are offering $5 million per year, that's just what he made on his last contract. He's not getting $5 million per on this contract, I don't care if thirty teams have contacteQA Although it is interesting to note that Gionta's starting point for negotiations is Andrei Markov's 3/17.25 extension. If the Devils have inquired, we better be WELL below that 5.75 AAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I thought they just said the term (re: years) was a starting point. If he's really getting upwards of five million on a contract for any length then we'd better run for the hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Unless the devils unload Brunner or Ryder, how are they going to add another RW like Gionta or Vrbata? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
