As I noted above, the better argument is that Jack and Nico are underpaid, if Bratt is getting $8.5-9m, I don’t think that’s an overpayment even though it’s more than Nico and Jack get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB3 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, mfitz804 said: I think the probability is high that he comes back healthy, plays a few games and demonstrates that, and he is moved to someone who has a goalie injury situation, maybe for a better return than we might expect. Admittedly it took me too long to come around on Blackwood, but I firmly believe that he is worth more to the Devils than he would fetch on the trade block. An oft-injured, up-and-down goalie on an expiring contract isn’t getting more than a 3rd, and I don’t want any more picks. Trading Blackwood would put the Devils a Vanecek injury away from more “who the fvck is this guy” games. The team is too good for that. Let Schmid develop in the minors with Daws and know he’s reliable when called on. 5 minutes ago, devlman said: Another game were we absolutely dominate, eye test and advanced metrics, and we still end up with 1 powerplay? How are we bottom half of the league in powerplay time? someone take the bait lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is replacing Bratt's production then? You just watched almost an entire decade of sh!t and you're gonna be mad they signed a guy who is leading the team in points in our best start to a season ever.

Between inflation and the cap going up significantly in the next few years, I don’t think you can hold the line at Nico and Jacks contracts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils absolutely dominated play for the first 40 minutes, controlling the puck almost all game and peppering 35 shots on the Buffalo goalie and they still went into the 3rd with a special teams deficit. They also faced a goalie who stood on his head. I don’t think anything was egregious but I’m confused how you could possibly say “the devils got lucky calls and lucky bounces” unless you’re just trying to be antagonistic in which case, it worked I guess lol. Dude this is what im talking about and also what mfitz brought up cause he's seeing it too. You absolutely filter literally anything i say through some fvcked up filter to flip it as if im saying something bad, dumb or negative every time. Why did you have to read what i said like i was saying something negative? Everything you said was already brought up in here. We played well, didnt take dumb penalties, our goalie played great, etc etc. I added that the reviewed situations went our way. The offside was close but it went our way, our goalie didn't fully have control of the puck but it was whistled before marino knocked it in our net with the puck but at the same time our goalie was shoved in the net. Then a few times the Sabres had a real good opportunity and they fvcked up like missing the net or wtv. Which i'd call "lucky".

He wouldn’t give Bratt $7.5m? There is no way Bratt is taking less than $8m, and maybe not less than $9m. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very mature of this team to come out and win in this fashion after the big win streak was broken with an absolute sh!t show on Wednesday. 2. It might be unfair to Blackwood but just like Severson, I see him as a guy we need to move on from going forward. Unlike Severson, I don’t think it’s necessary to let him finish out the season. If we could get a 3rd, he would be gone tomorrow if I’m GM. Im fine with Schmid as backup 3. Do we know Bratt is looking to break the bank vs him just knowing last summer that he was capable of so much more and wanting to be paid as such? Even if he’s pushing the envelope, as long as we’re not pulling a Kyle Dubas, I don’t mind Fitz going a little high to keep our guy. Regarding your second point, I don’t see how it’s necessary Severson finishes the season. His reputation still surpasses his actual level to the point where we can do well to trade him and fill his 14 mins with a run of the mill rental. Him and Blackwood can fetch a decent haul.

Satans Hockey Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Also want to apologize to Tatar, so proud of him for turning into being a great player for us instead of a pre-season and practice all star. I never saw it coming but I absolutely love to be wrong when it means the team is winning.
