fsu1852 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm upset he went to the Rangers, but to get him we would of had to pay 7x7 for him. I'm glad we didn't sign him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Agreed and it speaks volumes if the guy left 20M on the table it's just another sign that for most top free agents there's very little interest in coming here. I work in the city and hate every second of it the only thing it has going for it is its not Newark. There's no comparison in these guys eyes. The Rangers aren't making anything close to a serious run any time soon so even less incentive for him to go there. But like Vescey (sp) he was detained to sign there. Let's see if Sheri can make any kind of meaningful improvement as the next few days play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLLYWOOD Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 This is the most entertaining thread in years... it should be gold plated! Speaking of gold plating, I wonder how the season ticket holders are going to sound off on this SH!T-Show of trades/acquisitions by Shero and ownership? Betcha it's all moneyball with bean counters; $13 plastic cup beers, $7 bags of peanuts, league revenue sharing, heck, they probably care less about Prudential arena being half filled. The once fearsome giants of the ice and winning, continues it's patchwork quilt of mediocrity. Well, it's more of getting drunk watching this year's 2017-18 patchwork parade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Marleau would be interesting. He was still good for 27 goals this past season. I know he disappears in the playoffs, but we're not making the playoffs anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair- if they're judging NYC against Newark as the basis for their decision that's stupid- you can live anywhere you want in the Metropolitan Area and play for the Devils. The players don't live in Newark. Most of them live in Hoboken or Jersey City, which allows you access to NYC anytime you want with a two minute PATH ride. Now- sadly, a lot of hockey players are low-IQ, slow on the uptake half-mongoloids when it comes to intelligence, so I wouldn't be shocked if some of them actually did base their decision to go to the Rags over the Devils solely on a comparison between Newark and NYC.

They call him the Prince of Plates, self absorbed dooshbag that most likely will be poison for the locker room. Send him anywhere but Newark.

Anhkheg Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) The four youngest FAs who are NHLers would be Franson, Jared Cowen, Gelinas and Despres. I think we go for Franson or Despres, Jared Cowen is also a first rounder for the Sens. Dont know if Cowen is any good.

Weekes Head Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'd feel okay with Franson. Seems like he could do well here. So that means we are likely signing Eric fvckin' Gelinas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anhkheg Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The four youngest forward FA would be Grigorenko, Yakupov, Pirri and JJ. Grigorenko could play on the fourth line, he has size and can net 10 goals as well. Share your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the NJ Devils Communications and Marketing departments need some serious improvements on their recruitment and enticement techniques .

Hopefully Shattencocksucker is next on the list of losers to sign there only to be abject failures. I'll add that I hope someone on the Devils takes a suspension on him next year just because.

MadDog2020 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 What's awesome is there's more disappointment to come! I can't WAIT for Monday, or Tuesday, or sometime after fvcking Labor Day or whenever he makes up his little pea brain, when that Russian assface clown either decides he's staying in the motherland, or will only accept a trade to the Rags (because you KNOW that's next), meaning we let him rot.

Daniel Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Shero gave an exclusive interview.

Nicomo Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I'm dissapointed too, but ffs some of the people in this thread... Really don't understand blaming Shero. If someone takes a discount to play for their preferred team nothing you can do. Signing Boyle seems counterproductive to what he's trying to build, but whatever. At least Cammy, DSP, and BB (sorry I know some of you liked him) are gone. Guess we'll see where the kids are at next season. Not going to "save money not buying Center Ice." I've stuck with this team through thick and thin (a lot of thin in recent years) and I'm not bailing on them now.

I've stuck with this team through thick and thin (a lot of thin in recent years) and I'm not bailing on them now. I'm not bailing on them, but it's not worth my time and money to watch them lose 45 plus games next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
