Wasn't sure his time in Calgary was up. The pool dries up fast. Here's hoping Shero acts quickly comes with his best offer to Shattenkirk tomorrow right from the get-go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonDreads Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 That's a good deal for Calgary, think Stone is a real solid defenseman and they didn't need to pay the UFA toll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 So according to MacKenzie, we're offering Shattenkirk term, but less AAV, while Tampa is offering less term, but higher AAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLLYWOOD Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 4 hours ago, Steadevils said: Offer sheet Nino Niederreiter to continue to build Little Switzerland in Newark. Seriously though with all the space an overpay on an RFA would make sense if GM's ever decided to use offer sheets. Would be nice, Nino had a career past year and is due a big pay raise from his $2.7M. Carolina may be after him with most of their roster signed already and huge cap space like the Devs, but as usual up to the market and what the ownership wants to budget, regardless of cap space. Things will get very aggressive July 1, right now there are 3 teams in the eastern conference with offers to Shattenkirk, Tampa is rumored to have offer $7M/4yrs, Devs have tendered the longest, 7 years @ less per, so if Shero & Co. can work their magic on Shattenkirk's "contender concerns", would be the prefect PP quarterback needed for the team.

LittleBallofHate Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I wonder if we're going to hear about 30 deals in the first hour tomorrow and then nothing much until Sep... Bob McKenzieVerified account @TSNBobMcKenzie Anecdotally speaking, I don't ever recall so many "deals" being done in this so-called "talking/discussion period." There are a lot. One thing to keep in mind with these reports of this UFA being committed to that team etc. Until 12 noon ET, no paper can be exchanged. It may seem like formality cuz soooooo many verbal deals may have been cut, but neither player nor team fully locked in/committed til noon. As 1 exec just noted: "Until 12 noon ET, teams can only discuss contract interest in general terms, not specifics about length or dollars."

mfitz804 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 According to the NY Post, we're looking at Shattenkirk, Nick Bonino, and Thomas Vanek. http://nypost.com/2017/06/30/devils-setting-their-sights-on-kevin-shattenkirk/?utm_campaign=iosapp&utm_source=pasteboard_app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of Centers but there are a lot of teams that need them so I can't imagine why we'd outbid them? Doesn't make sense to me - we're supposed to be leaving spots open for the kids. Vanek would be OK if it's short term but isn't he a left wing? We need a right wing. I think someone will want/need him more and pony up.

Devilsfan118 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Vanek lol Yeah because we just bought out Cammy to bring in another old, slow barely-qualifies-as-a-scoring-forward forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I half agree. The team seemed to lack this year with getting to rebounds and getting those grindy goals around the net. Vanek is good at that, if I recall correctly, but I still think I'd rather see the spot go to one of the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we already brought in a Swiss friend for Nico, we could do the same for Shattenkirk. Might as well. But yeah, I already have no idea how we're positioning all these forwards already.

sundstrom Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 This isn't a Brooks article. Bonino talk is purely speculative. Saying he has no takers for Kovy is stupid. Nothing can be done before tomorrow anyway. It's possible it just hasn't leaked yet or Ray doesn't like what the Rangers are offering. Just begging for clicks.

Shero is not trading Kovalchuk to the Rangers unless he robs them blind. Something incredibly stupid for the Rangers like Sjkei and Buchnevich and maybe more. Brooks knows this. Kovy and Grossma know this. The only thing Brooks is trying to insinuate, because he has no inside information at all, is that Kovy only wants to go to the Rangers and will go back to the KHL for a year to make that happen. He's doing the equivalent of spitballing on a messageboard but kinda making it sound like he knows something. He doesn't. The Rangers organization hates him, and will actually leak stuff to Francesa or perhaps Kay and LeGreca when they want to leak something. He obviously has no sources with the Devils, and there are far more effective people for Kovy's people to leak to than Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Brooks does not have the byline on this article so I do not know why this information is being credited to him. I think if Kovalchuk were going to sign in Russia it would be done already. He had a big meeting with SKA on Wednesday. The offers are all on the table from NHL GMs; they will not likely get better. So yeah, I suspect a lot of this is guessing (I don't see why Grossman would leak that he is leaning towards SKA unless the opposite were true and even then, the final offers have been made probably) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 good luck tomorrow guys!
