Guest Writer: Devils Need To Make Big Splash In Free Agency; Chris Shaleesh

Excellent work, Chris. Like the Toffoli reference. Always disagreed with not re-signing him

I don't think we have the cap for a top UFA like those mentioned after we have signed Hughes as we would still need to sign several depth players

Maybe granlund is more realistic

A bridge deal for Luke would leave enough room I think. Plus I’m not sure I’m ready to pay him big money yet after less than 1 year of good play. Worry about his bigger cap hit down the road when the cap is projected to go up significantly

Boeser is streaky and constantly injured. No thanks

Unless it's Marchand, I'd pass on the rest. Next year's free agent class is stacked (if they get there) rather have money for that. Palat would probably be more tradeable with only a year left on his contract also

NJ must sign 2 of these Marchand and Boeser would be awesome .....
Mercer - Nico - Meier
BRATT - HUGHES -MARCHAND
Noesen - Glass -Boeser
Palat -Juho -Cotter

Marchand already signed in florida

Sounds like Jake Allen may be signing this morning to stay with the devils

Was kind of hoping Dawes could step up as back up and use the cap savings on improving depth up front

Can't imagine Allen signs for too much but we may have the oldest goalie pair in the league

This free agent class is garbage. Sign some depth UFA's, but stay away from spending big on anything this year, otherwise it will be another bad contract in the not so distant future.

The only splash they should try and make is via trade or if there's an opportunity via offer sheet.

Granlund extended in vancouver

Allen signs with Devils

5years 1.7 cap hit

Great cap but too many years IMO (I know years brought down the cap)

Boeser stays with nucks 7x7.25

Really not much I would go with. Maybe Perry and Roslovic for a year?

Edit. Nevermind about perry

So we get a winger who can’t score. 9 years in the league and has 107 goals. Not really sure what need this addresses. Does he slot in on the 3rd or 4th line?

Great another loser

I’ve never seen him play or at least never noticed him

Perfect fit for our top 6

Wtf. This brown deal is nauseating. What a worthless signing.

Would have taken a shot at drouin but gone to nyi
