So who's the top prospects avaialable in next year's draft? God damnit I want to punch something.

John Carlson is on the final year of his contract in Washington... come home to NJ next year pretty please... 

[njd3b1ink 28]

So when's this defense getting better? 

fvck this

Time for a lot of assumptions about the Devils not being able to beat that deal

That was pretty obvious when we were bought by the guys who owned the Sixers.

I was in denial about that, but I think it's true now.

[CarpathianForest 449]

Hey look on the bright side: One more year of Ben Lovejoy.

[Weekes Head 368]

Good thing we have all this money. For no one. Grumble.

I...cant. I fvcking cant.

[MB3 4,938]

So how far are we from the cap? We can't exactly just not sign anyone else

I imagine with our crappy beat writers, we'll never get a real answer.

Well, at least we have Julie R whatever her name is to tell us all about Brian Boyle's cat.

Well...so much for FA day....as usual.

 

It's not Free Agency day unless we get shut out on all the halfway decent players. We'll never be that glamorous destination spot for these players. fvck us. 

[Devil Dan 56 1,784]

I hope he chokes on a street gyro. 

That being said, Shero most definitely offered a better deal. This guy just wants to play for that sinking ship

[DevsMan84 2,170]

another season of cheap tickets on secondary market is cool I guess.

if Shattenkirk signed because the Rangers gave him the best offer I will not be a happy camper with management.  Please tell me that the schmuck just wanted to play for the mongoloids over in manhattan.

['7' 1,213]

fvck sh!tkirk. Hope he tears his acl and mcl first shift

Shero really isnt anything special as a gm

Yeah, I mean Gulitti was always great at getting dollar figures out of his sources about guys the Devils didn't sign.  Hell, did we even know about people the Devils might've tried to sign and failed to?

[grcenter47 28]

what does everyone think of  cody franson?... nhl radio was big on him saying he would be the best option after kevin

This is where our "just the facts" beat writers get me in a pissy mood.

[2ELIAS6 254]

and thats that. figures, more disappointment as a devils fan. They should've done everything they could to have gotten him here. Instead it surely seems like they don't want to spend to improve this team. Brian Boyle wow ... thats what we are going to walk away from this with. Another year another let down and more to come I'm sure.

[NJDevils1214 2,603]

Bobby Holik, Scott Gomez, Wade Redden, Chris Drury, Marion Gaborik, Rick Nash...am I missing anyone? Shattenkirk the newest major FA signing to ruin his career in NY.

[Weekes Head 368]

I'm so fvcking irritated. 

[Daniel 1,579]

One thing is for certain, Lou and Conte destroyed the franchise.  Absent a sustained tank job for like three years and more lottery luck, we are not sniffing the playoffs for the next decade.

[DevsMan84 2,170]

So which schmucks are we going to overpay now to hit the cap floor?

[Aitchmack 461]

So we'll be taking on some bad contracts to reach the cap floor in exchange for picks then?

[Derlique 582]

Nothing you can do when the guy takes tens of millions less to sign with the other team

[Weekes Head 368]

Give us all your bad contracts and call this a day. fvck us . That's our free agency.

After building it up from nothing. Don't be so dramatic.
