Could probably get a 5th or 6th rounder for his rights. If someone’s willing to give something up, why not? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Andrews/Pickford both acted like he was a bigger deal than he really was, and was constantly ad-libbing even though he hadn’t been given the freedom to do so…meaning meticulously set-up shots would have to be done over, much to the consternation of cast and crew. Jason London (Pink) finally had enough and actually got into a fistfight with Andrews. That’s why if you watch, even when he and Andrews have scenes together, there’s very little dialogue between them. The scene on the football field originally called for Pickford in place of Wooderson, but by that point no one really wanted to work with Andrews anymore, so the scene was rewritten.

Good news: he’s definitely a NHLer, he’ll get paid well, he’ll get tons of minutes, and when he has those WTF moments, it’s not like anyone better will be readily available to take his spot. He’ll just have to hope that, should he go to Columbus, that he’ll become enough of a veteran presence that if the BJs can start to become competitive, he’ll get to stick around. That simply wasn’t going to happen here, especially with Luke and Nemec being picked so high in their respective drafts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually telling hotel maids sh!t like “You wanna save my sheets, I’m gonna be huge, you can say you did my room!”…both cast and crew were basically thinking “Who the fvck is this a$$hole? Is this guy for REAL?!” Apparently the ONLY person who got along with him out of EVERYONE was Milla Jovovich (Linklater said they were pretty much in their own little world, both quite full of themselves)…they actually eloped during shooting, but she was only 17 and her mother immediately had the marriage annulled, heh heh. The funny thing was McConaughey was the guy who came in completely unassuming and a little unsure (it was his first film), and he was so charming and cool that everyone simply loved the dude…Linklater kept finding ways to get him more scenes as a result. He wound up having the kind of career Andrews could only dream of having. Edited June 7, 2023 by Colorado Rockies 1976 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 LeBrun says he believes we’ve made an 8 year offer to Bratt. I hope it’s not in the 8 million AAV range for that kind of term. https://theathletic.com/4591167/2023/06/07/lebrun-rumblings-gavrikov-dubois-debrincat/?source=emp_shared_article&access_token=13260924&redirected=1 Devils negotiations with Bratt — and Meier? My understanding is that the Devils have made an offer to pending RFA winger Jesper Bratt. And I believe that offer is for the max term, eight years What remains to be seen is if the Bratt camp wants to go that long on this contract or will push for a shorter-term deal that will allow the player to jump back into a more lucrative market with the cap going up over the next few years. It’s the kind of decision a lot of agents and players are debating these days, as noted above with Gavrikov. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd rather secure Meier and whatever happens with Bratt and the games he and/or his agent want to play can be someone else's problem if he isnt 100% fully about staying. Meier brings size and also offense. Bratt was a gem of a 6th round pick, and while his 73 points have been impressive back to back years, his small size and playoff vanishing act were yellow flags for someone demanding top dollar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. Hopefully this was Fitzgerald saying to his agent "here you go. We've been at this for months if not years and this is what the NJ Devils are comfortable paying your client. Either he wants to be apart of this thing and signs or we can start looking into other arrangements later in the summer but I have to move on to other business of getting everyone else signed." You have to think if Fitz is offering 8 years, it has to be a shockingly low AVV, like 6.5 or something. When I say shockingly low, I mean in relation to what the media is reporting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf if it’s something like 8x8 then it’s not really top dollar though. Not when guy’s like Bo Horvat are making more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
