I worked in the Short Hills Mall and he was a regular customer. The talk was that he’d be trying free agency and that the Rangers might have interest. So I told him, I understand it’s his shot to sign a big contract, and I understood if that meant he had to sign elsewhere. But not with the Rangers. If he signed with the Rangers, I told him, he wouldn’t be allowed back in the store. He laughed. My manager (my best friend a d a Devils fan) laughed. I did not laugh. Fast forward, and the guy signs with the Rangers despite my warning!! Few months into the season, here comes new Ranger Bobby fvcking Holik strolling back into my store. I told him no, I had told him if he signed with the Rangers, he wasn’t allowed back in the store. I asked him to leave multiple times. Loudly, and dead ass serious. If he wasn’t a giant pro athlete, he probably would have been afraid. My manager let him stay (I didn’t talk to him for two weeks), and I was asked to wait in the stockroom until he was done shopping. You may not have remembered, Bobby, but I fvcking did!! Parise used us by signing a 1 year deal after an injury shortened season to use as a springboard into free agency when he had no intention of returning.

Guadana Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 My buddy was in minnesota with his board - he is an aircraft engineer. He is also a devils fan too. And he met parise. He looked at him in silence. Parise asked him if he wanted to get an autograph? Buddy said "no" and left. End of story. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Rangers thing though i guess. I just wouldn't blame any players for walking if their GM pave them the way to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylbert Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 To this day... I am still livid at The Fourth Period who had Holik re-signing with the Devils, only for him to sign with the Rangers for 9mm a season... He came back to us later, but yea... the memory of Holik is sour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach is 35 and still under contract for 6 years... He's a 50-60 pts player with a 7.5m cap hit... he should start declining (again) sooner than later. He's been productive when healthy but his health is a concern Unless we'd somehow get him for like... ridiculously cheap i'd stay away. Yeah I’d pass on Zach. He made his bed, let him lie in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know that I’d say definitely a goalie. Blackwood could very well be the guy. I like the forward group a lot, but yes, another top 4 defenseman would be nice.

ajsgolf Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If they can pick up another defenseman through a trade who could be a possible option at this point and who do you think they would need to give up to obtain them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we only have Senn and Cormier signed otherwise. They could very well try to bring back Eddie Lack or someone like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I would take a 50-60 point guy at a reasonable price all day long, but fvck him I’m not interested lol. Man I guess I'm way more vindictive than the rest of you all - but let him rot in Minnesota. Maybe I'm a monster, but I absolutely do not feel the slightest bit bad for him that he's lost his desire to play hockey or whatever. That latest Athletic article about his decision - that the Devils were never really in it - really put the nail in the coffin for me. Screw him. I would be disgusted if we ever even considered bringing him back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Ottawa Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 What about mcelhinny from Tampa? they just traded for Condon from Ottawa, so they technically have 4 goalies under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you sit out a year injured and then sign a one year deal, you’re only trying to show the rest of the league you’re healed. Fvck that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand his choice and I'm glad he got to spend those last couple of years with his dad, but I don't think there's any point in going back down that road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
