RT @BackseatsmanLFC: 🚨Leipzig baffled by Newcastle €80m lowball bid for Benjamin Sesko. Anger at conduct & suspicion they've "bottled it".

Cap space for the first time in over half a decade isnt a real asset, to get something back you gotta give something of tangible value Fitzy has won more trades then he’s lost during his tenure but we haven’t seen him succeed yet when the playing field looks like this.
I don't think Fitzy was ever going to swing big in UFA. He seldom has. I expected free agency to be for the bottom 6, and I expect him to take at least one big swing on a trade for a top 6. I think what's made it hard is the proportion of delusionally optimistic teams.

Palat is getting cap dumped for a mid round pick, and Dougie is getting traded for a forward in the 4.5-7m range allows them deadline flexibility able to avoid bridging Luke, how Fitzgerald needs to show he’s changed is by attacking and not reacting mid season.
The important thing about the Devils moves today is that they didnt commit a lot of $ going forward. Someone is moving though cause Luke is getting paid after all these insane D contracts.

Only reason you do this is if the it’s team friendly and you expect to shed 15 million in salary today, so that means it’s going to be a 3 year deal and Palat will still be on the team.
As Frank notes here, Devils working hard to get a Jake Allen extension done. I’m told there’s still some work left this morning but Devils feeling positive about the progress made.

Hope a new front office is making those decisions.
The #NJDevils left everything on the ice, but they just don't have the scoring pop. I swear, the front office's M.O. has to be "goals, goals, and more goals" this offseason.
