I'm pretty sure we could upgrade elsewhere too outside of just Hamilton and Coleman, I mean come on let's weaponize to get in the window at something other than a snail's pace. Focusing on only two guys? What happens if and when they go elsewhere, no plan B, C, or D? Terrible management in any business even outside sports if there's a single plan (while realistically acknowledging the odds of getting both are pretty damn slim) One may even be a pipedream. Fitz has to be way way better than that imo . Edited July 21, 2021 by titans04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Ottawa Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I just meant the highest profile guys. There is no reason why we can't also go after mid tier players as well. Who do I mean? Guys like Chiarot in Montreal. He was a late free agent pickup who I had wanted in NJ who just had a massive impact on the playoffs this year yet was never considered a top free agent.

Guadana Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 5 minutes ago, Aitchmack said: Wouldn't surprise me if they sign Palmieri. I`m afraid we will do it. There are a lot of guys outside of Coleman that can help Devils. Bonino shouldnt usk much, but he is very consistent and very competent for 3rd line role. Granlund will ask much, but he is pretty intersting option for middl-6 role and can play pp and pk. Janmark is an option for 3rd line to replace Johnsson, if we will replace him. I really like Glendeling as another option for the third line center role for a short deal. He isn`t great producer, but he play pretty safe game, good faceoff guy. And I think this guys(except Granlund may be) can be signed to inexpensive and reasonable contracts, while we can give them a little more, it will not affect us much, and at the same time we can be a good option for them. In an environment where players prefer not to sign with the Devils. I`m very surprised about Larsson, he could get more from the market, but he didn`t. If devils will not sign Hamilton, they still have option on the market. Montour is a guy to sign, especially if subban leaves. Hamonic could be a 3rd pair guy for some pk minutes. I dont like Ceci, but he is an option for the third pair stll. I wouldn't say that there are a lot of good offers on the market in general, and after the Seattle draft, there are a lot of interested consumers on the market. I am not sure that the Devils will be able to find solutions for their needs, because they are among the last in the queue. I hope that Fitzgerald will find at least one defendseman and at least one forward for the third line, but it's better two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Don't see the Devils signing Palms. Kinda feels like that ship has sailed, and both parties have moved on from each other...besides, Fitz seems to want to build a "Children of the Corn" team, where everyone who's 30 years old or older needs to be killed off. I think Palms might get a multi-year deal somewhere (2-3 years) if he's willing to take a discount, but if that doesn't materialize, it's a "Bet On Myself", one-year deal (maybe even to a non-contender looking to deal him at the deadline). I know he got it going a bit in the playoffs, but his overall numbers for 2020-21 were 70 GP, 17 G and 13 A. Just down enough that I don't think teams are going to go that out of their way to sign him...he's more of a Plan B or C type, or a temporary piece to flip later (for the moment). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 its frustrating cause for a time we were one of the few teams who could really throw the bank at guys like hamilton. But now so many teams made moves where they also could. So while i was not that confident in signing him, i feel like its impossible now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to stay positive until there is reason not to be, but man I am not holding my breath on this offseason being really different from what we usually deal with. If Hamilton also signs with the Krackheads-- EDIT: Also saying EDM is in on Hamilton and that might be why Larsson agreed to talk to SEA.
