@DevilsInsiders 5X11
5 years so he gets one last big contract when the cap has gone up and is 32. Also the lowest it can be without lining up with Jack.
11 is team friendly, and gives Sunny the tools he needs to help win now and as the cap rises.
Win-win

@AlexC_NJD Devils should absolutely kick the tires on Larkin, but the real target here is DeBrincat. Cheaper price, 1 year before UFA, give Jack a 40 goal scorer with Bratt and see what you can do. If Larkin is gone, the rebuild is on. Get ahead of it and get your top line wing.

@GoferBender @jp_gambatese Will be fun to see how it all comes together

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@GoferBender @jp_gambatese Time will tell on what happens, but the Wild were super fun to watch this post season!

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@GoferBender @jp_gambatese Yup, however you have only 11M to replace quite a few players this year and need to land a 1C. Not saying it won't happen, just a tall order. He's gotta convince Quinn he can get it done and it likely won't all come together til next summer, when Quinn could go to NJ for free.

@AlexC_NJD With reports that SJ is open to moving the second pick, what do you think would be realistic for NJ to offer? I'm thinking Dougie (if he still wants out)+12OA? Maybe NJ retains 3M on Dougie?

@NJDevils I think we need to make sure the dentist gives Jack a gold tooth! @usahockey

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@jp_gambatese Hatty under 10 minutes???🧐

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@AlexC_NJD I wonder if he gets a look in the second half of the season.

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@jp_gambatese On one hand, you need a trade partner to get rid of some of these contracts and make a change. And at this point Fitz would get worked over in a trade cuz everyone knows we are desperate, however it should never have gotten this far. Not a serious team top to bottom. No fight

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@AlexC_NJD @NJD_OnTheRush So now that Vancouver is open for business, I feel like we should be all over this. DeBrusk for Palat, Casey, and a 3rd rounder?

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@jp_gambatese As doom and gloom as this recent stretch has been, I feel confident if they can get healthy for the last 40 games or so and make the playoffs, this could be a very good team. Gotta learn how to dig deep now when you have less, and then go all out once you are back to 100%

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@JamesNicholsNHL At what point do we need to be looking at the strength and conditioning coaches? I get accidents happen, and it's a tough sport, but holy shit are we prepping our players the right way? It's just amazing how bad this year has gone with injuries

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@JamesNicholsNHL This team has no heart. Down 1-0 going into the third coming off a shutout, with two full power plays, and we manage 3 shots on goal and give up a PP goal on their first try of the game. What the hell are we waiting for?

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@jp_gambatese Empty net had a better save percentage

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@jp_gambatese I think the upside is there for both Luke and Nemec, but they still need that veteran next to them to help out. I feel like once we get healthy and they each get a vet as a partner again we could see them flourish. Just gotta white knuckle it until we get there

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@AlexC_NJD First shot of the game

[Michael Diercksen @MDiercksen]

@MrWhite1079 @papiblez In a vacuum sure, but if they get him now they can't extend him until the summer. So what team is going to trade the farm for a guy who can't commit to signing long term yet, and all signs point to NJ in 2027? It's gotta be a win now team like Edmonton to make sense.

@jacques_jams My hometown catching strays was not on my bingo card today when looking at Twitter
