Zubie#8 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wanted to start a thread devoted for free agency tomorrow regarding the Devils and the entire NHL. Who do you want to see targeted by the Devils? Demers, Okposo, Neilsen? Hopefully we also sign Bennett DSP and Merril. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fun but he will never score like that again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitchmack Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Okposo & Neilson would be good signings. A defenceman is likely as well now I'd of thought. As long as it's not Warfosky, he looked awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zubie#8 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 I would love to land Okposo. We would have 4 really good wingers with a potential 5th in Zacha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm definitely on the Okposo train. Now I'm convinced another defenseman is coming with Larsson's departure.

CommonDreads Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I'd like to see us go after a defenseman, Kris Russell is the guy I'd like (don't care if he doesn't pass the fancy stat test, dude is shot blocking machine). Also wouldn't mind Dan Hamhuis or taking a flier on one of Schultz or Wisniewski. EDIT: Also like the idea of bringing back Stempniak, would be a good 3rd line guy who could play up and down our lineup.

coldply123 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I love this new Bruins regime. People knock Chiarelli for some of his trades in Boston but he was GM when they won the Cup and came close to a 2nd. Sweeney and Neely and company seem to try a rebuild but the blueprint to me looks confusing like they think it's the 90s. I think we will see a lot of the signings today. Guys have had quite a few days to discuss interest and offer of terms. Should be fast and furious through the afternoon. No question the big forward dominoes need to fall but I think we will see a few more trades too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I'm hoping for Okposo as well, but I can't help but feel he's gonna get PAID. I don't want him 5+ years at 7m+ Edited July 1, 2016 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I wouldn't mind seeing Wisniewski if you can get him on a relatively short term contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't see us going after Okposo - I think if a closer Cup contender wants him, there he goes. Aside from Schlemo, Merrill and Bennett - I don't know what else I want that's out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Not really high on Okposo like I was previously. If I had a choice between Eriksson and Okposo, I would lean towards Eriksson. I think we should go after a defender though today. To me with Larsson gone that is the higher priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that this where all free agents can be discussed. If there's a significant signing that affects the Devils -- either the Devils sign someone or a rival signs someone significant -- a separate thread should be created for that. Just a suggestion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first 6 weeks or so, he was a zero factor. Actually a minus factor for taking dumb penalties, diving and getting himself suspended. As for giving everything he has, same could be said for most of our Albany team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just saying from his point of view he really really did everything he could and did surpassed expectations, yet it's not enough haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby89 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think Okposo goes to Minny, Those Minnesota boys always love going home...No one else agrees but I wouldn't mind Boedker, that dude can fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want him 5+ years at 7m+ Okposo is looking for 7m per year for 6 years. apparently it's gonna be either Florida (who's ready to offer 6m for 6 years), buffalo and Minny.

When he came here we just all thought he was a guy who plays hard and bring energy to the 4th line. He finished 6th in goal scoring on our team.

Half the guys you can call up from Albany can bring the same energy and hard playing that Farnham brought. It's such a vague and general description of a player. In terms of his goal scoring he scored 7 goals in his first 28 games and then 1 goal in his last 25 games. You're looking at him the same way Toronto looked at Clarkson who was coming off of a 30-goal season, but everyone outside of Toronto's offices saw that he is not a 30-goal player.
