Devils Pride 26 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Good. Cheap depth defenseman and forward. Avoided department stores and got some deals at Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Nothing major, but definitely better than the final few July firsts with Lou at the helm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Avoided some awful deals, thankful for that. If we can bring in a solid defenseman I'll give this offseason a solid A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can bring in a solid defenseman I'll give this offseason a solid A. Agreed, part of a good offseason is not signing bad UFA deals. All of Ladd, Lucic, eriksson, okposo, and neilsen will have an ugly end to their contracts, so I'm happy we avoided them at those prices. I think we could use another defenseman but I'd be OK with Shero holding off and seeing if he can find someone in the trade market midseason if we find ourselves in a playoff fight.

BlueSkirt Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 More deals than the Rags, so that's quite the different July 1st ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubie#8 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Good, we did good. And we did not overpay for anyone which would hurt us when it counts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitico12 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Given the price for a decent 1st or 2nd pairing DMan, I don't see us making any moves unless Russel or Demers comes to us cheap, which I don't see happening. I think Shero is also looking at the contract status of Palmieri before he moves forward with anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell, Demers, for depth although they will cost a lot just for depth. Maybe Hudler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Would love to get James Wisniewski for 1 year/3.5 mill. That way, NJ gets a PMD and lets Santini get 20+ mins a night in Albany with the potential of a call up if a RD gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Are we at the floor yet? Edit - Looks like we're only around 1.5 million shy of the floor and Palmieri's contract will surly cover that. http://www.generalfanager.com/teams/new-jersey-devils Edited July 2, 2016 by Jerzey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Can't help but think after some of these UFA contacts that Palms isnt close to 6x6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. No long term deals to concussion prone players, busts, or ex-Devils. I'd say that's a plus. Love the Hall trade and Lovejoy is solid.
