Timo re-signs, 8 years @ 8.8 mil per

So Timo + Bratt came in at under $17 million…that was what I considered the “Sweet Spot”.  Not sure Timo is worth quite THAT much in AAV, but Bratt at under $8 million AAV offsets Timo.

Hell of an offseason by Fitz…could these negotiations have possibly gone any smoother?

Jesus Fitz is a busy man.  Bratt and Meier combined for less than 16.75M?  

Absurd.  Folks were saying 8+ for Bratt and 10+ for Meier at one point.

Fitz is a Jim Gregory candidate for the work he’s done. Outstanding.

I am so freaking happy it’s done before the market even opens. Like holy hell I saw at least one of these going into the summer. Didn’t think BOTH would be done before the draft even…

So once you factor in Nemec’s ELC likely becoming part of the payroll, Fitz will have about $9.3 million left to spend.  Should have a little left over after he likely re-signs Bahl, McLeod, Bastian, and Boqvist.

Yeah I thought at least one of Timo or Bratt would drag into July.  Fitz made this look almost insanely easy.

I mean this is a fvcking winning, dynamite forward core:

I grabbed the top 4 just for a convenient comparison - meanwhile the "Big 4" for the Leafs:

With both Matthews and Nylander due huge raises.

The difference is an entire additional player.  Fitz is the fvcking man.

Not one Devil signed to over $10 million AAV.  That be some impressive sh!t.

I love this. 

The crazy thing is those Toronto deals were all signed about 5 years ago while Meier and Bratt are this week.   From some of the Toronto based podcasts I listen to, it sounds like Matthews is going to the 13.5 range and Nylander to 9.5 by next season.  Also, Tavares is at the point where they're talking about moving him to wing.    I can't believe how epically bad Shanahan and Dubas f'ed that situation up.

Credit our guys for not being greedy as well.

Now how can we get McDavid and convince him “listen, you don’t want to waste your career on playing with the Oilers, even though you have 200 Hart trophy’s.  Come play for the Devils, take a pay cut, we won’t give any major assets in return and we’ll look to lock up a cup at least once before you retire.”

Now why can’t that work?  No I’m not on drugs, but I’m allowed to dream, aren’t I?
