Tavares replaced already. Lol

Tavares for Komarov.

The swap is one for one.

Rumor on reddit is she's going to announce some personal news. Might be inaccurate, but she eluded to it yesterday as being not hockey related. 

Oh man, if it's not Devils related she's going to hear about it on twitter.

Foolish to phrase it this way on day 1 of free agency.

Lou really had to go to the ends of the earth to bring Tavares back. Not sure he did. Or even wanted to. Komarov almost seems like an FU now to Isles fans

They still had a great draft through I feel

Well "dotting the i's" is kind of being intentionally deceptive if all you're going to do is dump personal news on us. Especially on day 1 of UFA

Yeah I agree, that’s just stupid on Amanda’s part to word it that way on today, of all days.

Have to read things in context; it’s about her own contract. It has nothing to do with free agency.

Looking forward to her "stop bullying me twitter" tweets later this evening.

Still tone-deaf.  Especially to phrase it this way, and imply people are anxious about the news.  Phrasing leads one to think she's talking about.. her job.

I mean, no offense Amanda, but I'm not sitting here impatiently waiting for you to announce something about your personal life.

I'm probably being too harsh but I'm salty about what a quiet and boring day the Devils have had so far.

She’s a team employee. I guarantee she is not going to leak news about free agent signings.

I get people are anxious today but I have absolutely ZERO problem with what she did. She warned yesterday she had news coming and honestly, I think fans all over Twitter are pretty eager to hear her announcement. Adds some stupid suspense to an otherwise drab day 1 of FA. In general, Amanda announcing personal news won't change who gets signed by the Devils and who doesn't.

Yup. And it’s obvious what she meant. If you believe otherwise you didn’t read it in context or you lack common sense.

Wonder if it's a legit offer or just one they can point to and say "eh we tried" once they trade him.

Who knows. They probably know that convincing him to stay will be difficult with the ship going down in flames.  That said, the whole goal in life is to get an elite 1D so my guess is they want to try and sign him. They also traded away Mike Hoffman, who along with his wife, seemed to have some personal issues with the Karlssons. That could be seen as an attempt to keep EK happy or just generally as part of a larger rebuilding effort.

I don't follow her so only seeing what guys post here the tweet posted here looks bad here out of context and could have been easily avoidable if she posted "I am crossing T's and dotting I's" it's free agency day, be a little more intelligent about what you post and at the very least don't be surpised when people are annoyed about it when you intentionally worded it that way.

Bored...boring...disappointed....wha, wha ,wha. I hate it when there is nothing happening on FA day. I sure hope Ray has something up his sleeve other than his arm.  Too many of these weird signings, depth stuff for AHL  

:angry:

I think she handled the [few] fans who were annoyed with her pretty well. She didn't lash out a la Abbey Mastracco and she apologized for stringing people along. I think she sincerely wanted to share personal news with the fans whom she seems to care about a lot. It's just not that big of a deal and it's all part of keeping Devils fans entertained. 

Could she have been more clear... yeah.

Gabriel's a bad signing - if you can't get a guy with character who can't score more than 5 goals in the AHL, maybe character is a little overrated.  Other two AHL signings are good.  Only a few contracts today I would've liked the Devils to have signed.
