2024 Offseason Thread - It’s FINALLY here

This is all completely valid. I like watching Olympic hockey a lot, but I understand the importance of an NHL team protecting its players. A long term injury to someone like Nemec or Meier, and I (and I'm sure many other Devils fans) will be 100% anti-Olympics for NHL players.

For me, seeing our 2017 #1OA pick (and Captain) miss time and now quite possibly our 2022 #2OA about to do the same…as far as ANY tournaments go, that’s enough for me.  The tournament teams are never the ones left holding the bag.

In another vein, as for the Olympics themselves…sure, some very special moments to be had and of course for various “ESPN 8”-types of sports the Olympics represent the brightest stage those athletes will ever get to be a part of, but what the Olympics do to the countries that host them…and course all of the rotting villages, stadiums and facilities left behind…good lord.

Finally able to see the variable prices for games for this season and sell some games I can't go to on the app.

It's been brought up before but these prices are the main reason why a lot Devils season ticket holders skip the Rangers games. Going to cost me $1k to go to 2 Rangers game. How do I justify that? It's a joke and they need to figure out a better system and a way to "reward loyalty"

They won't ever do this because they care more about getting money over making the building completely red but I'd like to see a "divisional loyalty credit" where if you attend every single divisional game, you have to take a picture from your seats and email it to your rep with the final score on the video board in the background you get a credit towards next season that brings these ridiculous Rangers games down in price.

$1,000 for two REGULAR SEASON games? That’s fvcking RIDICULOUS. No wonder half the damn building is blue when we play them.

Yup that's the total for my seats for those two games, the December game right before Xmas costs more than the April game but both games are the highest 2 tiers. The next highest tier is still about $50-60 cheaper per ticket than those 2 tiers. It's impossible to justify.

Yeah don’t get this one myself.  Of course no guarantees that he makes the team.

I just worry that Rempe may have broken Fitz brain at this point. I love the grit/sandpaper moves he's made this off-season but this one is a head-scratcher. Maybe it's a favor to his agent?

Yeah I liked this offseason quite a bit.  Thought there was enough depth in place not to have to mess around with PTO guys.  Guess we’ll see if Lucic is still here as the season begins.

Surprised by both of these TBH.

Zboril's a former #13 OA pick from 2015, but it appears that he both can't stay healthy and apparently couldn't stake a claim to a every game lineup spot.  Basically got scratched quite a bit.

Hutchinson's bounced between the NHL and AHL for several years now.  He's managed 154 NHL games to date.

Devils have some depth in both areas.  Doesn't feel like either of these guys have much of a shot here.

My guess is warm bodies for preseason games when the big boys go to Prague maybe?

Yeah that makes the most sense.

Still remains to be seen how much cap room there is once Dawson signs.

So basically 13 more days for Dawson to sign before "hmmmmmmmm"...

Still not worried about, but am mildly surprised that it's not done yet.
