Devils Pride 26 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 47 minutes ago, Triumph said: $8 per?! The salary cap is at $80 million next year. To be clear by way of example, the Devils paid Rolston $5M on a $56M cap. Tavares here would cost at least $10M and then you'd have to pay Hall that, but that would be something Shero should do gladly. There are not many star players and Hischier and Bratt are on ELCs. It would mean going for the Stanley Cup next season. The Devils' cup window gets awfully tricky after 2020. Damn, you’re right about that. For some reason my head is stuck in 2010 in terms of cap and salaries. Can you elaborate on the window getting tricky in 2020? Is that with or without an outside contract?

Devilsfan118 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Man give JT 80M and figure out the rest later. He's a superstar forward in the prime of his career.. I mean he'd immediately elevate us to the elite of the east for the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I knew Zach wasn’t coming back when he signed that one year deal coming off his injury. He knew that was the wrong time to go FA so he used use to showcase himself for another year. He had no intention of signing long term.

He was actually about to agree to a long term extension in 2011, like seven years, but his agent (wisely) convinced him to take only the one year deal. In 2012, the Devils gave a very competitive offer that he considered, but ultimately Minnesota gave him a lot more money than anyone else could, plus he’s from there and he’d be going with Suter. Whatever the case, he was being honest when he said the Devils were a real option right up until the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bad turnover fest in front of him, considering all the scrubs and new line combinations. I know we posting in these forums have been hard on him, but he was never given any chance to succeed. I suppose he did his best, especially considering Ovi was on the warpath. Our playoff G starter is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2 games he gave up 5, and in one game gave up 4.....lost all 3. Kk played them once, gave up 3.... won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so yeah, you're right. But it would make things trickier for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If JT was such a given to be back he'd be back. 6 hours ago, Colorado Rockies 1976 said: Not saying it won't happen, but these guys rarely burn bridges. Looks like he's at least going to test the market first. Zach didn't do that...he basically didn't comment on it much (but everyone picked part everything he said throughout the season, as he had to deal with repeated inquiries via the press), and then eventually said something to the effect of "You can keep asking, but my (non)-answer isn't going to be any different." When the team got back to NJ after the 2012 SCF, fans saw him get off the bus and asked if he planned on staying, to which he supposedly replied "Don't worry about it." For some reason some fans interpreted that as binding. Yeah, Zach didn't really give much indictation one way or another. It was also different with him because I think there was a limit past which Lou was not willing to go contract wise. As far as testing the market goes, yeah, I guess I'd bet money he's going to July 1st. Teams will at least be able to pitch him and I'd have to imagine a strong pitch would be "Come play with Taylor Hall." But I really don't think he would have said the things he has if his plans aren't to at least try to work something out with the Islanders. For the record he said, He's negotiating through the press but it seems like he wants to be back. Of course, that could all change come the summer.

LittleBallofHate Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Rupper likes NJ as a fit for JT... Weeksie emphatically nodded his head yes. That's it - he's coming here A few days old but here it is... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Still think he signs with the Isles. That 8th year is just too valuable to pass up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aclc79 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 They might just give more effort for their struggling teammate. I think they all genuinely like him and want him to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hit the post Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Well that would be his chance to win the job back. If he bombs its back to KK and no looking back the rest of the playoffs....Whatever that might be . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately probably...I'm not exactly expecting anything different then than we've gotten from Cory for most of the last two seasons. Coming in at 5-1 was the ultimate mopup situation and not indiciative of what he'll do Monday when the spotlight's back on him in a big game. Of course if he does actually put up a good performance and (gasp!) win on Monday he can get a lot of goodwill back in one fell swoop.
