Devilsfan118 3,046 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Єklund (2.3% accurate) reports Kucherov going to the Rags. 99.9% chance it's clickbait. But fvck me if not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why overpay when you can take advantage of teams with cap problems and get decent/good players that way. Instead of dealing with 30 other bidders, you're dealing with a small handful which both increases your odds of landing the player and doesn't artificially raise their value with a bidding war. Trust the process.... but if people want to lose their minds and freak out ala Twitter, hfboards, or Facebook go ahead.... it will change nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PacificDevil 49 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 With cap going up what teams exactly have cap problems to force them giving away good players for pennies on the dollar? Even Johansson last year cost 2nd and 3rd rounder - Devils simply ran out of such picks to offer this year due to Vatman and Grabner trades 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lateralous 675 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It's almost like some team rep was just f'ing with Єklund (2.3% accurate) just to see if he would actually run with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

De Haan has missed nearly 2 full seasons since turning pro. Healthy, that's a bargain. If he misses 100 games over the course of the contract, less so. Having an unreliable player on the cap can certainly affect future plans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarpathianForest 454 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I don't know what everyone is upset about. That third pairing of Lovejoy-Gryba is gonna be the next Stevens-Rafalski Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah fvck that, if he’s willing to sign there, he damn well better be willing to sign here. I don’t have to go into all the reasons NJ is a better place to live than motherfvcking Columbus, Ohio, so I’m not gonna waste my time. There is NO REASON we should not be involved in these talks.

Actually the only two times I’ve been to Ohio, it was NE Ohio (Cleveland and Canton, as both trips were to the Football HOF), and it isn’t bad, it’s a lot nicer than it gets credit for. So I’ll take your word for it that Columbus is nice- but I’m partial to my home state lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The shoulder is scary, for a defenseman.. no doubt.. but like you said its a bargain for a solid defensive d-MAN.. something we need ... I'm not thrilled with what we are going into this season with back there.. not making the Playoffs will be a bit of a setback.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
