Hope one hits Seems unlikely, but if we can manage competent goaltending, we will be much improved. The difference between average goaltending and the goaltending we got last year was about 11 wins. Just crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainmaker90 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 If we were to sign Gaudreau to let’s just say a 10 per year deal, how screwed would we be when the contract is bad? Like would it make things extremely difficult to field a competitive team or not so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot on the books and mainly hopefuls down the line. Pie in the sky scenario, where the majority of our prospects hit, it could be a problem but we could always retain and add assets to dump if need be. There's always a way out.

Like would it make things extremely difficult to field a competitive team or not so much? It could be rough, especially if he just becomes completely unplayable. But I think in that situation you ultimately buy him out when he's down to like 3 years left. I don't think he'd get that bad though, at least not until the last year or two I wouldn't expect his contract to be easily moved if push came to shove. No way he won't have a nmc / ntc and if he's coming to Jersey, it's because he wants to be in the area not because of the money. That makes him being willing to waive a no move somewhat less likely. So if he tanks, it wouldn't be easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing like the Wild with Parise and Suter, which is peak doomsday in hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
