Haha should we waste a tear on him or should we save them for the inevitable "Teemu Retires" headlines this weekend?

Edit: I have a feeling this weekend is going to be worse than the draft weekend...

I have a feeling you know something I don't know... Seriously? Teemu retirement?

Socreges banned again :'(

OH COME ON

 

[TemplaerDude]

OH COME ON.

I just started posting in here again!

 

[Alucard]

Oh, Soc. You've unraveled.

What's up with all the guys crying at NBA draft ? #needanapkin?

Wtf lol

[CREMSteve]

Fan960 reporting that Sarich has re-signed in Calgary, 2-yr deal worth 4M. Decent move, Sarich is consistently solid and is still one of the team's best hitters.

HAHA Flyers should sign him for the lulz.
What I hope actually happens is some other teams get involved and force the Devils to overpay him.

 

[Cactus]

One year of Marty would be a great plan B if the Panthers acquire Luongo.

It'll probably happen, only place he will go to.

This makes no sense to me, he's a lifelong Devil, and it's not like he hasn't won anything to feel the need to move on somewhere else to win before retirement.

No.

No. No. No. No. No.

NO!

Real story is where will Hasek end up? This needs to happen.

 

[E-DuB]

Well I'll make sure there is this year

 

[DopeyFish]

Leafs actually wanted just a short term veteran goalie to help reimer focus

Luongo would be replacing reimer/scrivens which isn't what Burke wants

Honestly, I'd love him on the leafs- just hope he'd fare better than cujos retiring contract

Though something tells me he will try for Montreal - just take a back seat instead of bring the work horse - but still return home

Probably felt pretty amazing to get that ovation in Montreal when he won

 

[Cake Boss]

DUN DUN DUN This has Leafs written all over it.

Since NJ needs a goalie, Bishop for Larsson pls.

So question... for all the "X to the leafs" talk we always see, when is the last time they actually signed a guy in a competitive market for the player?

 

[DopeyFish]

So question... for all the "X to the leafs" talk we always see, when is the last time they actually signed a guy in a competitive market for the player?

Eric Lindros?

Actually Bozak, Gus count too... Teams were going all out for those 2

 

[Wendel Clark]

Probably back when they were competitive. (Cujo, Roberts) Or Gustavsson, and Bozak.


or Schultz. :|

There aren't many teams that need a starter though so I don't know how much competition there will be. I think Brodeur still wants to be a starter

I agree with this 100% the guy has 1 maybe 2 years left, I dont see him spending those on the bench. Outside of the Devils I dont know who he could start for.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Also, Brodeur would be a good fit in Chicago.

 

[Cake Boss]

College free agent and a European free agent that never played in the NHL. Those arent hard to sign unless you don't have room for a starter role, you make a promise to those abd they sign.

 

[Plinko]

I've been thinking about the 10-year Quick contract and was wondering: How many goalies recently (other than Brodeur) have been consistently good for 5 years, let alone 10?

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Luongo.

EDIT: Kiprusoff.

Lundqvist has been pretty consistent for 7 years..

 

[lupinko]

Eric Lindros?

Actually we signed Michael Peca after Lindros, but had a season ending injury in his only one year with us.

=(

 

[Marvie_3]

Also, Brodeur would be a good fit in Chicago.

Even though he's 100, he'd be better than the 2 pieces of shit we currently have.

I have a feeling you know something I don't know... Seriously? Teemu retirement?



OH COME ON

Reports from Finland a week or two ago reported that he was coming back but Teemu hasn't confirmed anything. I think i'm just expecting the worst after everything that happened during the draft weekend... I hope i'm wrong!

 

[Curufinwe]

Even though he's 100, he'd be better than the 2 pieces of shit we currently have.

At least they're cheap and not on super long contracts. Look on the bright side.

 

[Marvie_3]

Yeah! Who needs to win when we have cheap goalies?

 

[Cagey]

Brodeur hasn't used an agent for his past two contracts. That's bad news. Plus I lurk ever closer to Parise--geddon. What a terrible sports week next week could be.

Fuck. NFL training camp can't come soon enough.

 

[Merguson]

I asked the Magic 8 Ball on whether the Leafs will sign Schultz or not. It responded "Very Doubtful"

Brodeur? My sources say no.

Parise? Signs point to yes

Suter? Cannot predict now

Luongo? Yes, definitely.

Parise and Luongo to the Leafs confirmed.

Stay tuned to the Magic Ball 8 for more information. Guaranteed to be more reliable than Eklund.

 

[Kifimbo]

Brodeur testing FA market

Wtf lol

(If you saw what was there before- blame iOS)

Probably because of the ownership situation. Which means Parise won't stay. Larry Robinson is also leaving.

Greatest offseason ever.

Wonder if they'll be trading kovalchuk too

This is not good for NJ who are struggling to fill seats

The team will be going full speed into the ground and with their problems even paying off debt, paying rent

They're going under, I think

I don't want them to, as much as I hate them- they are one of the few teams we have had in the last 20 years comparable to a dynasty

 

[Wendel Clark]

Didn't they struggle to sell out playoff games.

No they aren't. They'll go through bankruptcy to get their debts under control and the NHL will most likely throw in some cash and they'll be fine going forward.

 

[yankeehater]

Yes they did!

 

[Fei]

NJ has struggled to sell tickets for as long as I can remember. That said, their TV market should more than make up for it.

 

[Samus4145]

DP has been consistently good on skipping seasons. And yes I am an Islanders fan

 

[Barrage]

Ward's still good, his team's just been shit. Miller's been quality the last 5 years.

So absolutely, not a lot of goalies...but not a lot of goalies have Conne Smythes in their early 20's like Quick does, either.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Marty in anything but a Devils jersey? Insanity.

In other news Panthers now have 14 milli to make the new cap floor. Between Versteeg and Kulikov that should be 5-6 milli. Huber makes 3.175 (ELC + bonuses) so there is some serious cash to put out for FA. We actually could make some good runs at high level FAs.


Needs are 2C, high talent forward, agitator

 

[KingHenrik30]

Haha devils are poor

90% of those people are Rangers or Flyers fans.

 

[BigJonsson]

They can move to Brooklyn!

 

[KernelPanic]

Is this because they moved to Newark ?

I don't remember hearing about massive lack of support when they played out of Meadowlands.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Burying them on the lower MSG channel doesn't help either I would think. No one goes to MSG 2 to watch devils or islanders.

As far as I know it's about the same, maybe worse since they're not doing cup runs like they were (although this year they did) but the biggest thing is they are about the same which was fine before but after the money for the stadium and stuff like they haven't seen the increase they thought they would by moving and because of that they're struggling financially.
