But i was also sure Gaudreau was down to NJ and NYI based on logic. Logic doesn't always apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean maybe it is...I have no idea. But to be spurned for Columbus....I want him to be asked, it was your home state, the young talent is there (some of it elite, Hughes) it was more money. What is it about Ohio and the Blue Jackets that won you over? He'll for sure address why he picked Colombus. 200% so we'll have our answers sooner than later im sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, I'll call for Fitz' head. Your major offseason additions cannot be Vanecek and a 7th defenseman.

He obviously had reasons that he did not want to play here We do need to know the reasons so we can fix them. If you're spurned for less money and Ohio then you need to know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I mean let's be honest. You grew up a huge Devils fan... Make the NHL and when you turn 28 you hit free agency leaving your team behind thinking the Devils will make an offer... they can't make it work so your contract options are now the Rangers, Flyers, Islanders and Colombus... where do you sign?

Also, keep in mind that when this guy said he wanted to be close to home, he was talking about the flyers. He was not talking about the devils. Flyers couldn’t do it, so he went for close enough, and the team that he doesn’t hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't follow the family line of family over everything, but it definitely kind of says we were probably 2nd and then dropped to 3rd on his list once Columbus was in.

If all things are equal, the team that gives me the best chance to win and make money. If it’s the Rangers and I’m a 28 year old professional, then that’s what it is. It’s a business at the end of the day. Three of those teams put me relatively close to family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzMB30 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Fitz has nothing to explain imho. You make the offer and you move on. Close doesn't count for sh!t in this league so we continue on. New possibilities now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
