Sabastian Aho 25-years old, contract expires 24/25

Andrei Svechnikov-22 years old, contract expires 29/30

Jesperi Kotkaniemi 22 years old, contract expires 29/30

Seth Jarvis-21 years old, contract expires 23/24

Pyotr Kochetkov-23 years old, contract expires  26/27

Martin Necas-24 years old, contract expires 23/24

Jacob Slavin-28 years old, contract expires 25/26

Jalen Chatfield-26 years old, contract expires 22/23 This year!! (We must resign, dude is playing lights out, may be one of our best defenseman)

If think we are in pretty good shape. Jordan Staal and Chatfield are the ones I most most concerned about. I’m not sure how much Jordan has left (desire) in the tank. Also, Burns is sign through next 2 seasons 24/25.

Everyone you mentioned besides Svech, KK, Koch would have to get a new deal within the next 2 years.

Word on the (twitter) streets is that SJ wanted Necas, A-level prospect and multiple picks...

Honestly, if NJ is dumb enough to give up Mercer + prospects and picks, our road to the cup might get easier by staying put.

Still think we add Schmaltz and another LHD before all is said and done.

The one and only detail being reported is there is no extension as part of the deal.

Waddell knew Bo or Timo could have helped us win a cup. The cheap son of bitch still did nothing. We aren’t building a savings account with money. We are paying A plus players to help us reach our ultimate goal of the Cup. Fuq Waddell. 

If there is no extension, then there is no way I’m paying what we were estimated for offer, much less what it was rumored we asked.

Timo is an RFA so he’ll be with the Devils for at least the remainder of this year and next year, I’d be shocked if they don’t give him is offer sheet.

They will have to shed some salary going into next season if they pick up that year at $10M.

As far as SJ asking for Necas I don't think that happened.  Jarvis yes, plus a 1st, 2nd, and Morrow.  I think the best we offered was a 1st, 2nd, and Morrow and we take on all Timo's salary.

It was too rich for the Canes and the whole "rental" or expensive 1.17 years if you can't sign Timo long term and throw in the fact the Canes were 3rd or 4th on his "list." 

Best thing we can do now is welcome him to the east by laying the lumber to his ass and shutting him down when we play NJ.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
