SterioDesign Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 the amount of attention and discussions the media and announcers go on and on about Gallagher's cuts is incredible. They almost make it sound like he's the only player in NHL history to bleed during the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I think we look back at the Pickles goal as the turning point when it’s all said and done. That goal was a right hook to the jaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I think Pickles either stays in Tampa if they can get a deal done or ends up in Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 He's going to Dallas unless they offer him an insulting contract. He has a house there, his wife and his families are all there, now has 2 young kids as well. Plus he's already going to have 2 cup wins now and he'll get to play for his favorite team growing up. Really seems like a no brainer. Even if he somehow doesn't sign with them, he isn't coming back here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might buy a hat. That's literally why I've been a fan of them for the 20 years I've been here. They'll never come close to my fandom and love of the Devils, but they're an easy hometown team to root for when the Devils aren't doing well.

I think that the term is almost certain to be his main concern. I think 5 years at 5.25m would be great. I would go 6 years if we had to.

I do still feel he will end up in Dallas but that could just be because that’s what guys do instead of playing for us. The question then becomes, if we can overpay, should we?

Yes, he will represent an overpayment more than likely, but Devils have the cap space to not have it hurt them. I think there's a fine (and much needed) vet presence that he will bring...not to mention, for years he's had that knack, for scoring a timely goal. Not to mention he could very well have two rings to his name...that's the kind of thing the kids should respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is what it will take, no question. Like MB3 said, you gotta blow Dallas (and anyone else who might be interested) out of the water. mfitz brings up a fair point in that it's fair to wonder if the Devils should overpay (Coleman's not a kid, etc)...but I just feel like Blake brings something the Devils really need at the moment...and like we've all discussed plenty, there's a ton of space and with PK entering his last season, even more will come off. There will be guys to sign as these ELCs expire (hello, Jack Hughes and others), but you need some solid vets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No state income tax in Texas or Florida though and NJ has some of the highest property tax in the country. Money might talk but less money in Dallas will still go farther. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 If he’s offered the kind of money and term we’re talking about in this thread, Coleman could be back here in NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 21 minutes ago, MB3 said: Dallas can't win a bidding war with NJ, though. They've only got $15m in cap room to fill out 5 roster spots, and one of those roster spots is a likely $8+m contract to Heiskanen. $6m for Blake Coleman is a luxury they likely cannot afford: with big money tied up to Seguin, Benn, Pavelski, Radulov, Bishop, and soon Heiskanen. Are you suggesting we offer sheet Miro? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
