But, re: the bolded - I'm a little annoyed with this line of thinking. I'm obviously in the camp of "slightly confused" as to why we haven't been mentioned with any of the top UFAs. I think a couple definitely could've helped this team next year, plus getting an asset on a decent contract is always a good thing (for example, maybe getting JVR allows us to shop a guy or two on the left side for a defenseman). I don't think Shero's trade history prevents one from being slightly disappointed with the team's performance during the free agency frenzy. The two can be mutually exclusive if you ask me. That said, I mean, if people are truly doubting Shero then they're probably beyond help anyway (read: stupid). We seem to have a lot of those fans lurking on twitter and /r/devils. Weren't we in on the JVR discussions? I thought it was us, Boston, Philly, and NYR. We are still in the running for Maroon, so that would be nice. Not even kicking the tires on DeHaan is a bit disappointing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things don't always go the way you want and it's not like it is someone's fault. Just because we haven't heard much doesn't mean people aren't trying to make the team better. Be disappointed, yea it would be nice if one of those guys came to NJ, but they didn't. That's life. I'm a little disappointed too but anyway, fvck JVR. 6 minutes ago, Devil Dan 56 said: Weren't we in on the JVR discussions? I thought it was us, Boston, Philly, and NYR.

Just a shame none of them wanted to come here. Oh well. sh!t happens. It isn't like Ray is hanging at the Jersey shore with Snookie and just not doing his job lol. FWIW, that tweet by Mike Morreale said Devils were "not in the running". That doesn't mean that Shero didn't reach out or even give an offer. It just means that De Haan wasn't interested in NJ. I'm much happier Shero closed the door than overpaid the dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it’s a moot point anyway. As frustrating as it is not getting JVR and/or DeHaan - you gotta give Andersons and Yakovlevs of the world a chance to push for a spot. Wouldn’t giving a chance getting Bobby Ryan make more sense though since he’s RW as opposed to JVR since two top LWs should be Hall and Johansson?

MadDog2020 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Interesting read to pass the time here on Karlsson/Dallas and the price Dallas would prefer to pay (something around Julius Honka), and the price Ottawa is asking (a deal around Miro Heiskanen). https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/the-dallas-stars-need-to-keep-miro-heiskanenSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily beat the proposed Honka deal. If only we had $40 million in cap space it might make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 8 minutes ago, Kinkyisth3b3st said: Jesus Christ there’s no way Dallas would ever trade Heiskanen. ...but who else could they possibly have on the table if the rumors that they are the leader are true and they're not taking Bobby Ryan back? Other than getting lucky on two late round picks in Benn and Klingberg, they've drafted like ass for a decade. Maybe 3 or 4 of Klingberg, Nichuskin, Honka, the dude they just reached for at #13 in the draft and next years 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I still think Karlsson ends up in Vegas. They can offer a better package than Dallas (think Shea Theodore and Cody Glass). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dallas wants Karlsson with no Ryan attached, they’re gonna have to part with Heiskanen. I don’t see any way around that. Another reason to give the nod to Vegas.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I still think Karlsson ends up in the red and black.

Erik Karlsson is a superstar that costs $11+ million x 7 years against the cap. Heiskanen is a potential star and he's $900K against the cap for three years and won't get a Karlsson type contract for another 8+ years. The Star trade for Karlsson and they're in win NOW mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I’d never make that trade if I’m Dallas. Who knows, Heiskanen could end up being the next Karlsson, and be in his prime tearing it up while Karlsson moves into the back nine of his career. I wouldn’t take that chance if I was Jim Nill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzMB30 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Interesting to see how many of you want to go back to Lou's "zero news, zero information" era with the Devils. We'll see if we can pull this one off. Interesting. I like how everything is stil hush-hush. Reminds me of "status quo" but without Shero saying it.Sent from my LG-LS777 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Has anyone considered Jake Gardiner in Toronto? He popped into my head because im watching these USA classic games on NHL network. They have Lilegren coming up and is pushing for a roster spot. I think Gardiner and he are LhDmen. Just a thought. We never got free agents under Lou either. You guys should be used to this by now. Players dont want to come here and we have to work overtime to convince them to stay over going home or to bigger markets. EDIT: Lillegren is a rhd and buried in the minors it looks like. Nevermind. I thought they were more stacked in defense. Their bottom pairings dmen are nobody I've heard of.

SC Devs Fan Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I just want to get this straight; there were, like 4 good free agents, some who just reupped with their teams and people are upset we haven't made moves? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
