mfitz804 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 11 minutes ago, nessus said: I realized today that if the Devils actually did want to sign Bratt to a huge deal (e.g. 8x8), they don't even have the cap space. Maybe the plan is to lock him up for that kind of deal during the upcoming season for once Tatar and Johnsson are off the books, and the 1 year deal was part of that plan from the start. It's possible that there really isn't and never was anything to worry about. I might agree if they just signed a 1 year deal, but Bratt filed for arbitration, and Fitz says he offered him a multi year deal. They were definitely not on the same page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair, it gives him a chance to prove his hip is ok and then they can revisit a longer contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for now, $3.4 million over two years shouldn't hurt too much from a cap standpoint...especially with at least one of Johnsson and Tatar likely to be jettisoned prior to the season (and of course Bernier's money going on LTIR).

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Two years, that's exactly what I expected...no surprises there. Will probably be right around $3.4 million too...again, no real surprise. It's fine. Hit is obviously manageable Fitz decide to move him at any point.

Teams love guys with grit, and the 2 years makes him look way more attractive (see blake coleman) Agree, I think Miles has a 50-50 change of being here by the end of that contract, at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Weekes is the only real source. Kevin "the Devils are about to pull off a major trade with the Sharks" Weekes! Kevin "I'm told it's between the Devils and the Flyers for Shattenkirk" Weekes!!!! Great. I look forward to the three page pissing match between you and Guadana this post will undoubtedly lead to over who is a real fvcking source or not. Just let sleeping dogs fvcking lie man….

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Mildly surprised, really thought he’d get two. Think I prefer one actually…just not sure where Miles’ game is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I prefer one actually…just not sure where Miles’ game is right now. To me it’s the exact situation you want a one year deal, because his game is speed and he’s coming off a hip surgery. I was annoyed when Parise did it, but his was a knee injury and obviously he was a completely different player. But, if Miles is looking for big bucks long term elsewhere, this deal lets us see what he has and we can go from there, and if he can’t be re-signed, maybe he gets moved at the deadline. Losing Wood (hehehe) would not hurt as much as when Parise left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
