I don’t mind the Kings, but if Kovalchuk was on the Rangers, I probably would have watched every game next year even if they were shitty. Haven’t done that since I lived with my dad about 10 years ago. Knew it was too good to be true.

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

If it makes you feel any better I think that a 3 year / $6.25M contract for 35 year old Kovy is madness.

Arthur Staple

@StapeAthletic
 Tavares list just about finalized, it appears.

Leafs, Sharks, Stars are in, as mentioned a couple days ago. Believe the Bruins are in as well.

Canadiens and Vegas not on the list as of now.#Isles will get in there too, of course.

Marty names to the HoF today.

The GOAT takes his rightful place.

On the topic of free agency, would love to see the Devils make a run at Calvin De Haan. Otherwise, I'd be content if they resigned Maroon and then sat out most of the frenzy. I'm not giving JVR the 7 year term he's looking for.

Good luck with deHaan. You may get 40 good games out of him. May.

Van Riemsdyk wants 7 years? He's a solid player and he won't really slow down with age because he's already slow and makes his living in the crease, but I wouldn't give him any more than 5.

The meeting lasted over two hours, and was longer than each of Tavares’ Monday meetings, with the New York Islanders and Toronto Maple Leafs, according to SiriusXM NHL Network Radio’s Jonathan Davis.

That's what I read. I know its a little apples and oranges considering their positions, but as Jack Johnson just got a 5 year term, if I'm JVR I'm thinking 7 is pretty in line with the market.

If the Devils could get him for 5 at 37.5 I'd do it.

I don't hate the Johnson deal as much as many seem to. It's a bit risky because he's had such a turbulent time and it has impacted his play, but I think he's still a talented guy and in a better organisation than Columbus I think there's a decent chance he'll thrive. I confess to having a fair degree of sympathy for the guy as well though, so I may be a bit biased.

I'm also not sure that that deal is particularly comparable to a proposed JVR deal, because Johnson will still be able to be a very useful piece if he slows down as he ages and can't play a 200 foot game. A power forward like JVR starts to become a liability if he loses the ability to get to both ends in time to make his game count. I like van Riemsdyk as a player, but 7 years would scare the bejesus out of me.

The wildcard in all this of course is 2020 and the new CBA.

Isles informed they are out of the JT hunt. Looks like it's between San Jose and Toronto
