Did the part where they fired money out of the cannon at you help? I don't blame Gadreau for not signing with the Devils. We have the worst owners in the league. The worst GM in the league. The worst coach in the league. The worst goaltenders in the league. Pay mediocre roleplayers lke Palat like they are star players. Can't say I blame him. This team is going to finish in last place in the Metro next season. No question about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I mean, we're a young team with young guys that will get better. For anyone sh!tting on Fitz for failing... Philly and the Islanders did worse. Philly, obviously they traded Giroux last year so they are re-tooling, but getting Gaudreau would have been a huge jumpstart to that considering he wanted to go there, not being able to make room for it is a good example of why it's important not to give bad contracts as much as possible, impossible to move them if you have to. The Islanders it's even worse cause they were expected to make a run last year. Also after firing one of the best coach if not the best in hockey after he couldnt get as much from being given a worst roster every year by just patching holes with over the hill dudes. They go and didn't really get better so far. This is the begining of the end for them i'm pretty sure. They'll just keep on patching holes and take on bad salaries in a desperate attempt to stay relevant up until all the core guys are too hold and either walk away for nothing or lose all their value. We're in much much much better shape going forward than those teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzMB30 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) NJ Media just did a full 20 minutes with Brendan Smith. Says all the rights things. Link below. Also, looking at all the new players that have come in so far. They all have significant playoff experience. Smith, Palat, Haula all bring this element. Smith likes the Palat move cause he's sandpapery when he moves down the lineup. Edited July 14, 2022 by RizzMB30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa went out and got great players. We got Palat for 2 million dollars per year more than he's worth. I would rather have nothing than what Fitz has delivered. Let the cap money just sit vacant. I would enjoy that more than the 35 points a year Palat will put up here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just signed an extension!! There are people legit worried about Palat's deal and OMG it's going to prevent us from getting someone in 4-5 years!
