So again, I don't see the reason to rush unless there is a plan to spend money somewhere else. Also, maybe this is wrong, but I saw that most of PK's money was already paid out in bonuses and he was only owed 2MM on his 9MM cap next season. Again, maybe that is bad info. This is according to Capfriendly. I'm not sure when that bonus gets paid. I'd guess July 1st most years or whatever date contracts are up this year. But I agree, even with PK they are 10 million under the floor. Without him depending on salary retention they are 15-20 under. Either way they will need to spend money somewhere this off season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunninWithTheDevil Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 We will not be making any splashes or signing any big names so let's get that fantasy out of our heads. There is 0% chance we land Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 These Ladd and Ghost moves are pretty blatant. At least they involved "future considerations" or a 6th rd pick or something back in the day. Now its just "take this garbage contract and some picks" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I also thought Vegas did a lousy job when they drafted and they turned out alright... but this time i just can't really see the plan so far if its not tanking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No side action for Seattle. GM’s learned their lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not an option for the Devils, but for a team that wants to take the cup - a great option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 8 minutes ago, MB3 said: currently legitimately lol’ing about the Rangers signing of Goodrow. 15 team no trade clause and ~$4m/year for 6 years for a bottom-6 player who just had the only good professional season of his life (playing on the best team in the past several decades)? that’s the type of deal that is so, so, so horribly bad. it’s a FLAT CAP and they are going to need to sign their big boys sooner than later. I watched a ton of Lightning games this year because I’ve been growing as a fan of them living so close to Tampa. This would be like the Devils giving Stephen Noesen a 6 year contract with an NTC after his solid year. Goodrow is a tough, hardworking 3rd/4th line grinder who will be 29 next season. SIX years. Holy fvcking sh!t lol If he gets that deal, what’s Blake Coleman worth? 7 million a year? LOL rangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i’m his agent I point to the Goodrow contract and I say “that times two.” yeah Coleman even shared that contract saying the Rangers got a steal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I feel like this entire process was very underwhelming. Leaks aside, I feel like Francis didn't really.. take advantage of the situation. Guess Vegas absolutely jobbing lots of teams last time left folks more cautious this time around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been spectacular but I don't see why some people are in such a rush either. Because he hasn't been spectacular. Because he is a bottom 3 and there are plenty out there that are better D players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 After last night I’m half expecting to Seattle select someone ranked 20-30 in most draft rankings at #2. That should clear us to get one of the 3 D everyone wants at #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
