How did I forget about Hyman lol. Yeah definitely. I stay put on Heinen>McGinn though.

Tomas Tatar on the #NJDevils young centers:"That's one of the reasons that pushed me to do this. I played against Nico (more than Jack). They're both extremely talented. To have a duo like that in an organization just shows you the future is very bright."

Tomas Tatar says that #NJDevils Tom Fitzgerald really opened up to him, on why he's the right fit."To me, it felt we were talking more as friends, and we were getting to know each other more & more each conversation. (Fitzgerald) made it very easy for me to make this decision."

Jesper Boqvist will relinquish his number 90 and Tomas Tatar will wear it with #NJDevils. Tatar: "Jesper was very sweet, I'll take care of him for sure."

Tomas Tatar is a W. Seems like a really good person/teammate

Seattle is such a confusing team

Dont take good players in the expansion
But overpay in FA and not take any bad contracts for asset management okay lul

Low risk, high reward deal

Hearing also we are getting closer on the much-anticipated Darnell Nurse extension in EDM. Expected to come in around 8x$9.25M

Lmao

This makes the Pelech deal is an absolute steal

In general its fair for the role he plays. At most he was making Brodin money as both are similar players

Now this should hopefully lower Rielly and Nurses asking prices lul

Perfect timing

Nurse is getting 8x9.25

God dammit Holland

Unless Rielly is serious about taking that discount this extension almost guarantees hes gonna get moved

That’s an overpayment but apparently market value, you can thank Seth Jones for that

They wouldn't be using Pelech as a comp, they're way too different defensemen. I don't blame Nurse for using Jones as a comp given their age and playing style, I'd just blame Holland for falling for signing it.

I agree that it’s fair for Pelech, don’t see why everyone is screaming absolute steal, too much term imo

I'm just using Pelech as hes a top 4 LD and so far the 2 big LD who have extended this offseason are Pelech and Werenski, could say Heiskenen to but hes mostly a RD. So rn Dubas has a range between 5.75-9.25. Now Nurse is gonna complicate things as thats probs gonna be the contract Riellys agents will use.

Anyways my guess is 7x8yrs

But oh boy were in for a bumpy ride

Oof

Rank these signings: Makar, Hamilton, Nurse, Pelech, Werenski, Jones, Heiskanen

Tier 1: Heiskanen, Makar, Hamilton, Pelech

Tier 2: Werenski

Tier 69: Jones

Tier 420: Nurse

Makar
Heiskanen
Hamilton
Pelech
Werenski
Jones
Nurse

Nill get on this quickly. Here's your top 6 scoring winger that we need, and they're willing to retain half.

Pelech is expected to provide excess value for 6 of the 8 years. He’s only 26. I think it’s fair to call it a steal.

Adam Pelech was incredible last season, emerging as a true number one defender despite a lack of production – a rare breed. A pretty fair deal for the best defensive defenceman in the league. pic.twitter.com/9ThQqCtsfx

So hypothetically if Rielly signs 7.22 mill x 8 years is that a steal or would he have to make less

Probs not gonna happen now but if he does do it got to think yes as most of the big Dman today were making 8-9mill +

What the f*ck is that Nurse contract lmaooo.

The guy played one good year, and now he's suddenly an elite D and one of the best of his position.

That deal is going to be an utter disaster.

Correction: McDavid played a godly year in a meh division when it comes to defense resulting in his stats being actually good.

Mcdavid be getting his boys paid

remember Zach Kassians deal direct result of playing with Mcdavid lul and now they want to move it because holland realized he overpaid
