Fitz is smart enough to understand that NJ as a state has a lot to offer, and good on him for that. He knows the outside perception of the organization isn’t great right now, but is letting guys know that that is all about to change, and you could be a big part of why it changes. That is what he needs to be doing, while selling all the things living here offers. Whether it nets a Hamilton or another big name UFA I have no idea- but he’s doing what needs to be done, and I’m thrilled about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Fitz actually trying on this is encouraging. If Hamilton does indeed sign here it will for sure shut people like me up for a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be nice!(I'm JK) Anyone big signing here is a pipe dream but I am torn on if Hamilton or Landeskog would help more. I am not sure if Zacha can have the season he just had again. Landeskog replacing him on the top line and pushing Zacha down a bit to play with Wood and McLeod or something changes the complexion of our top 2 lines so much.

I think both are still a long shot, but Hamilton seems more and more realistic as other teams allocate their cap space on other players. If we land either of Hamilton or Landeskog then the off-season is a win, but I think Landeskog is a much more of a longshot than even Hamilton (who is still a longshot).

If it wasn't for this article I wouldn't think Hamilton was anymore likely than Landeskog. This is the only place I have seen us linked to either of them. Landeskog also fits the bill to exactly the kind of guys Fitz wants in the locker room so...yea. I'm sure he is doing his thing. We just wait.

SterioDesign Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) So we'll know wednesday. Hell if he's moving on i might even go crazy and hope that Fitz trade for his rights and get it done. We REALLY need to land him. Edited July 24, 2021 by SterioDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadana Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Murray and Hamilton would be great. And we need in Hamilton Graves - Dougie Murray - Sevs Smith - Subbs This is lookin good. But I cant imagine we will sign Murray for long term, and I believe he will take that deal on the market. I`m all in for returning Kulikov for 1-2 years deal. Very interesting how Fitz will manage their defensive prospects and who will play on the right side. Edited July 24, 2021 by Guadana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Fridge confirmed NJ's interest in Hamilton on the draft show(according to other people). Idk why he would wait so long and get this close to UFA without at least seeing what the market is going to offer and I wouldn't expect Waddell to be truthful if things were more 50/50 anyway. Starts at 5:20 Talks FA period There won't be the usual development camp this year, maybe something smaller in August but not confirmed The prospect tournament in Buffalo is on, but Pittsburg won't be attending so it is Buffalo, Boston, & NJ.

SterioDesign Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Waddell may be full of sh!t. He was already pinching money and made terrible trades. Now has to sign goalies and if anything Hamilton's price went up because of makar and jones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the taxes are a bit cheaper in Carolina but not sure if its enough to make a huge difference. Also they can offer that 8th year if they have to. But at the same time, if they were this close and really wanted it done... they might have get it done already Hopefully Fitz can really sell him on our potential Edited July 25, 2021 by SterioDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Mac has his ups and downs, and the Devils of the 2010s were a dumpster fire, but Carolina what direction are the Hurricanes going?
