SterioDesign Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I think soon Andy Greene should show how much of a true leader he is... walk into Shero's office, rip the C from his jersey and slide it on the desk and say that he knows what's best for the team and wants that to be part of the pitch to Hall for an extension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a lot of people within the organization see AG the way a lot of us do. Himself included. I don't see this happening without pressure from management.

If an extension is signed, I fully expect it to be Taylor the next year when Andy is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Can't see any scenario where Taylor doesn't sign now after getting the first pick. Huge win/win last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on the team respects Greene and he’s going into the last year of his deal. Hall’s decision will not depend on whether or not he’s named captain next year. And if it is, I almost would be willing to say good riddance. Whatever, what happened last night makes it like a 90 percent that’s he’s staying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no secret that Eberle and Hall are best friends. If you give him 5/32.5 I think he signs it, we can easily afford to overpay. Hall-Nico-Eberle Bratt-Hughes-Palmieri Boqvist-Zacha-Coleman Wood-Zajac-Who The fvck Cares Karlsson-Greene Smith-Severson Butcher - Who The Fvck Cares i like it when I can dream. I actually didn't know Hall and Eberle are best friends, but knowing that now, it makes a lot more sense for him to come here and I'm starting to think it could be a reality. The lines for the forwards that you presented also seem reasonable, and pretty damn good. It would be easy to slot someone into that 4th line winger spot, probably Q or maybe a cheap free agent signing. The only issue I see is that didn't people say Boqvist isn't likely to come over here next season? Regarding the defense, I don't see us getting Karlsson, but that's a separate discussion.

So to recap: Hall skates with Hughes, so Hughes definitely wants to come here Same as above, means Hall definitely wants to sign an extension here and play with Hughes Hall and Eberle are best friends, so Eberle wants to come here. Does Hall know any good defensemen?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 All this talk about Eberle had me curious to check out his stats, and I was surprised to see he only had 37 points this season. Wonder why he had such a down year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you have it all covered, and from what I just learned after having a brain fart and thinking he was still on the Oilers, him being on LI and relatively close would mean either he doesn't even have to move at all, or at the very least wouldn't have to move very far - win win!

SterioDesign Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 being canadian i will always have a soft spot for Eberle because of that goal he scored at the world juniors but i'm not sure at this point that i'd want him on the Devils... he's probably a 50-60 pts guy not doing much else on the ice when he's not scoring and he's been criticized quite a bit for . He should get a similar contract around 6m too.... i dunno... he's really borderline for me. Budget wize he could be a good gamble but i could see him not panning out cause there's a lot of knocks on his all around game. But just like he could do super well in our system, who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boqvist can still play with Devils, the contract he signed lets him leave to play in NHL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that - thanks! Have to imagine the chances of him making it next year are fairly good. Can't really say anyone else impressed all that much, and lord knows they had their changes and opportunities to showcase their skills and try to secure a spot on the team...most guys got a good 10-15 games or more down the stretch of solid minutes and ice time when we were putting out there a team of almost entirely AHLers.

Daniel Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) At this point I'm starting to hope that Hall agrees to take less money than he otherwise might to help the team fit in more talent, perhaps in exchange for getting as much money up front in bonuses as possible. Like not a whole lot less, but perhaps something like $9 million AAV as opposed to the $11 million he could probably hold out for. If he agrees to that, the Devils could probably in theory give out a $13 million AAV deal to someone, maybe an offersheet to Marner that the Leafs can't match.

No player is worth 4 unprotected 1st round picks outside of McDavid imo. I'm not even crazy about the idea of giving up two first round picks. Unless you're getting Marner for less than 8.118M AAV I don't want him, which he wouldn't agree to anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
