The PK has been pretty damn good all year. Nico, McLeod, Haula all have that on lock down. It's the power play that's the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should say a lot that the Devils aren't even going to attempt to bring those guys back. But, you're right, someone is going to dig themselves huge holes signing those 2. 16 minutes ago, NJDevils1214 said: The PK has been pretty damn good all year.

Coleman was also making relative pennies back then ($1.8 million AAV). Palat and Coleman combined for $7.1 million AAV for the one full season that they played together. Now it would be $10.9 million combined AAV if the Devils took on his money. That's a lot for the both of them.

So you’re telling me Fitz would merely have to get creative with the cap like Tampa did to make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could have Coleman and Palat or just Bratt for about(I know 3mm variance there) that amount of money who are you taking? I think that most of us here believe Bratt has turned down offers of at least 8mm, so assume he wants north of that. Knowing what I know now I think I'd at least pass on paying Bratt 8mm, let alone whatever he thinks he's worth, but I'd likely be in on spending the money on Coleman or a Coleman comperable player.

Nicomo Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Vanecek first off the ice in practice. Sounds like he gets the start. I don’t like it. Should be Schmid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Vanecek gives me no confidence in net recently. Hopefully the defense can help him out and give him less breakaways and stuff to deal with because I don’t think we’re getting 8 goals again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a YOUNGER Coleman-type player, as opposed to Coleman himself. Bratt might get $8 million from a poorly-run team who mistakes him as a cornerstone guy and wants to get backpage news. But he's establishing himself more as a complementary guy who can put up 70 points as long as he's facing both good AND bad teams in the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs where there's not likely to be many patsies, it's a much different story. He's not a guy you build around, or bring in as a kick-start to speed up a rebuild. Based on what I've seen of him during these playoffs, I'd have a tough time offering him much more than $6.8 million AAV over more than 4 years. He's been almost invisible in these playoffs.

RizzMB30 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Laurent Brossoit left game 3 of EDM-VGK with a pretty nasty looking injury. Made a big save but absolutely tweaked something. Adin Hill coming in as relief. Jonathan Quick comes in next game it sounds. Edited May 9, 2023 by RizzMB30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Yeah, they said he’s had past hip surgeries so I imagine it was a hip. Looked really bad. Hopefully it’s not a career ender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglejelly Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Laurent Brossoit didn't look comfortable all game. His injury might have been a blessing in disguise for the Knights. Hill looks much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite podcasting day of the year is always the day after the Leafs make an exit. Trot out the same top heavy lineup every year and then get blindsided when you essentially get the same result. This is still a big "if" but if they do go out meekly tonight, they should absolutely run it back yet again next year. 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge said Pittsburgh is waiting to see what happens to Dubas. Wonder who the new guy would be. That Rielly contract is rough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
