@JMC9787@StevensForDOPS He’s more then just a PP merchant. Hes great on the boards and he can create chances for Jack and Bratt. Insane net front guy. He’s basically a Verhege who’s older and on an expiring contract.
@eoslick@seanmartin23 That’s not OPs take tho. He seems to think LC should be taking a team friendly deal on his first big contract, then compared McDavids next contract where he was an established player.
@sirhc1599@tolear1158@JamesNicholsNHL Dude came back from a major surgery mid season cut him some slack. The season Fitzy gave him his extension, he was a top 3 shut down defenseman.
@WarkSheek He should have never been drafted 2OA. That’s not a knock on him, but you draft the best player, not for the position. That pick should have been Cooley.
@chan_mike21057@piratesfan1111@NHLFlames Because they are generally better. Devils should have never drafted Nemec a defenseman 2OA. Everyone knew it should have been Cooley.
@LockedOnDevils And without the NTC, Dougie doesn’t sign here. There’s a reason why Dougie was our first big signing in forever. There’s a reason for that. I’m not defending every contract Fitzy handed out, but at the time nobody was complaining.
@MrJohnJnr Protesting doesn’t change anything. In 2026, it’s a way to attach yourself to something trendy. A random 11th grade class protesting some high school in bumfuck PA isn’t going to make DT change his stance 🤕
@jp_gambatese After worlds, he won’t be anywhere near 12. My guess he doesn’t make it past 8th. IF devils have their pick, Ethan Belchetz is the answer
