There are guaranteed raises involved with those QOs (some with arb rights). Allows them to re-sign to other deals. https://t.co/6tMv9w4zMM

My mind is blown if they are really going to let Bennett, Merrill and DSP walk for the minimal raises/arb rights that are given by qualifying them. The new owners are starting to make me feel like NJ is turning into Arizona East.

right now we are in the midst of the period where all teams can talk with pending UFA's, and to me, all these guys are now fair game to talk to

Unless there is some kind of backroom, handshake kind of deal going on we don't know about with these guys I'm perplexed.

5 days away from free agency and the only deals the Devils have done is trading for Savards 4 million dollar cap hit at a real world cost of 575k and signed some Frenchy named Yohann Auvitu to a $792k deal. Not 100% sure where Ray is headed with all of this.

Didn't they trade for Beau Bennett?

Yeah, Saturday, and then they didn't qualify him today.

See you all in Valhalla brothers

Going out in a blaze of glory?

DSP is even more surprising. Traded Matteau for him, and he seemed to finally put it together once he was here.

I would be all over him if I'm Gorton, good bottom 6

That makes no sense at all to throw away a pick unless he has some sort of issue they didn't know about.

He's a litte guy, w some grit right? Or am I thinking of Joe Vitale?

And 8 goals in 18 games with the Devils last year. Puzzling.

These guys have me concerned, they've essentially brought over an entire front office/ coaching staff from Pittsburgh and the Devils have gone from a cap ceiling team to bottom of the league in payroll since they have come on board.

It sure does, but the Devils won't get all of the top 3 picks the sixers have gotten.

Brandon Pirri not given a qaulifying offer, a lot of young depth hitting the market

He's black

I'd be all over smith-pelley for the 4th line. If needed he could slot up to the 3rd for a few games as well but would be a solid 4th liner for us

O look another day where Gorton does nothing

Also in regards to Englands choke job...what do you expect when half the starting lineup is Tottenham Spurs players
