Oh Jesus Christ dude it’s been 9 hours. Relax. If we’re still at the point that we can’t give up a first round pick for someone as good as ROR, then we might as well blow it up again, or at least just go back into tank mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this. ROR is a fvcking beast, and would've perfectly slotted into our 2C slot. If we're not willing to trade a 1st because we're afraid of the rebuild failing, then what's stopping us from shipping out the vets and going into a full-on rebuild (again)? Can't believe we didn't do a single thing today. We'll see if the coming days yield an interesting trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a good center in return, but he didn't come cheap and his contract isn't cheap. As I said earlier, the Devils' problem is that, for a slew of reasons, they didn't get much from the draft over the years they sucked. If anything, applause to Ray for not biting on what was a pretty terrible FA class. We might actually escape the day without adding an albatross contract. That feels quite nice. There was nothing out there worth overpaying for. Agree. 2 minutes ago, Daniel said: If we’re still at the point that we can’t give up a first round pick for someone as good as ROR, then we might as well blow it up again, or at least just go back into tank mode. Good lord, why is it that some fans think if something big doesn't happen on 7/1, that it's all going to sh!t? It's like some of you can't wait to start bitching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I mean, it doesn’t matter, and I guess the Isles can tank without being so obvious about it. If things turn up Millhouse for them in the lottery, they get Tavares replacement to go with a really sick prospect pool. But yeah, right now for Isles fans this has got to be like getting tobacco rubbe in your eyes after getting hit in the face by Mike Tyson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think things aren't looking up for the Devils. They just don't look good on paper. But there's no intelligent way to change that fact in a significant way, today, tomorrow or next week. And we aren't going to trade our way to greatness either. We can pull of maybe one more big trade with the assets we have. And if we do, it should be for a d-man. I've accepted that the only way we're getting better is through some good drafts and through some of our untested prospects turning out to be better than expected. Maybe there's some decent FA's we pick up over the next few years in future FA classes. I also have faith that Nico is going to take huge steps forward.

That's all I'm saying. Shero's on the clock. This team as it stands doesn't make the playoffs unless Hall has another herculean effort up his sleeve.

NJDevils1214 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I also think that is cheap for a player of ROR's caliber. With NJ trending on the up, it would be a decent step back if that 1st round pick were even top 17-20. Ray made it seem like things were moving into more of a win now direction over the next 1-2 years. Oh well though, the ROR to STL rumors were starting as early as last week so it seemed like that was the team for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no clock. But we’re certainly not as strong as we ended the season, UNLESS the prospects come in and shock us all. de Haan isn’t signed yet. Maroon isn’t signed yet. There’s more coming. I’m not judging a GM on one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not judging a GM on one day. Neal is also on the board, unless I missed something which based on the day I just had would be absolutely probable. I was a little down seeing some of the deals today, but the off-season is not won in one day, and Cups aren’t won based only on free agents either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Alright Filppula is a one-year deal. He's a space filler and the Islanders are going to have plenty of cap room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 @HockeyPulz Ian Pulz Retweeted Arthur Staple Isles lost Tavares and signed Filppula + Komarov. I feel like this is very much like when Niedermayer walked in free agency and then Lou signed Malakhov and McGillis to try and mitigate the damage @StapeAthletic Filppula is a one-year deal for $2.75 million with #Isles. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muevelos Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Shero has done alot for this team. He deserves the respect. Believe in Shero. If he believes in our young prospects, then so be it. The teams that win the off-season don't always win the regular season either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
