NJ Devils NHL Free Agency RECAP: FREE AGENCY FELLOW$HIP - Drinks & Banter 

Joe screaming, drinking his slurpee and refusing to look at the camera was vibes! Bring 👏🏼 him 👏🏼 back 👏🏼!

I love all the singings! Tom Fitzgerald did great today!

Toleration is the best way to describe how I deal with Fitz

honestly i respect the patience from joe how he had to sit there with all those live comments 😭

Fitz did really well. He obviously tried to get Stammer and Marchy but they either wanted more money or term than Fitz wanted to give. That tells me he isn't done yet and still looking to make a trade or 2 if possible. You also have to remember that even with a beat up roster (especially Dougie missing basically the whole year and Hughes missing so many games) and historically bad goaltending, the Devils were in a playoff race until the trade deadline. They just got much meaner and harder to play against without breaking the bank.

Me and you both Ace 🤣😅 Long couple of days. Colton White was a really good signing, I’m alittle biased because I played on the same team with him a couple years growing up but in my opinion he’s the best stay at home defence man we have the iq he has is off the charts, he’s a defence first guy old school devil player type I think this year he’s going to have a career year, John Madden in 03 playoffs too was a Monster such a good two way player

Hey, Joe, despite your horrendous takes on some moments like Toffoli signing, Ruff and many others including Stamkos at 8M i fully agree on your thoughts about Fitzgerald. In fact i said many times here and other Devils related channels what you said about his tenure last night. He has done nothing! Shero was fired for doing a better job and drafting way better than Fitzgerald. I said yesterday he gets B- for this off-season. The main issue which was the D is addressed. I'll give it to Fitzgerald. He did a good job there. Goalies - he did ok too. He partially renewed the bottom 6. But, the two important spots left unanswered. The team is missing a sniper on a top 6 Left Wing. There is not a single sniper on a team at the moment! Mark my words you all! Our PP will struggle without him. Our top 6 without big winger is still SMALL and f...g SOFT!! And he still has not addressed 3C! Is Haula or Cotter the answer? Gimme a f..g break!!! And of course the return on Holtz is the result of Fitzgeralds and Ruffs publicly bashing a player! The team is better than going into a season last time but only just. So how the F can Fitzgerald get anything higher than a B-. You dont sign Macdermid and trade Siegenthaler and it is 5M you can spend. Here is you Marchessault!!!! I told you ,Ace, we will miss on a big player because of Macdermid. Here we are!!! Tarasenko! Hi is a downgrade on Marchessault! It could've been A grade off-season!! The team will be competing for a playoff spot but I'm not sure it makes it. All I know the Devils are still miles away from the Stanley Cup and with Fitzgerald will never get there. Once again, he did ok yesterday but could've been much better.

Joe's right!

The difference in salary for Stampkos between New Jersey (State income tax) and Nashville (No state income tax) is about $820.000 for $8MM per-season. Now x4, that is a crap ton of money that he saves going to the Predators

I got your back Ace we have a similar mind set. But we really need a top six winger I don’t think palat is a top six player right now

informational fr we

You’re tired he didn’t fail to deliver they will have the best record in Devils history next year

Maybe the Devils will trade Dougie Hamilton, Nathan Bastian, Nico Daws, Nolan Foote, a 2025 conditional 2nd-rounder, and a 2026 1st-rounder to the Senators for Brady Tkachuk and trade Jake Allen, Ondrej Palat, Arseni Gritsyuk, Seamus Casey, a 2025 conditional 6th-rounder, and a 2026 5th-rounder to the Jets for Connor Hellebuyck, so next season, Connor and Jakob Markstrom will form the one of the best goalie tandems the Devils have ever seen since Martin Brodeur and Chris Terreri.

Angry Stanley Tucci talking about wanting the team to be better top to bottom, but he's hyper focused on the top 6 and loss of Toffoli. The top 6 took a minor step back while the defense and goaltending have improved dramatically; We lost goals with Toffoli, but we gained goal prevention. The team is already 1000% better than last year's team, Toffoli or not, and it takes the whole roster to win the cup, not just the top 6. Anything less than 1 playoff series win should land Fitz on the hot seat

Wondering if Fitz is thinking of moving Mercer & picks for Necas

we were never going to get Stammer thats diluisional.

Fitz said 'big games hunting" not "big games signings". Huge difference. He never guaranteed anything like you suggest. He DID 100% hunt for big names but they simply decided to sign elsewhere. You can never fault a GM for that so it's not really fair IMO to frame it that he failed to do what he said. Cause he didn't.

Really expected either of the following, Rico,stammer ,March ,Z, necas, any of those guys would have been an upgrade from holtz. Rico would have slotted in the third line nicely so he wouldn't be the top six but any of those other guys aside from z of course . Again, I am happy we got the guys we did get, but I still think one more big name up front would have been real nice because right now our top six still lacks a little bit of firepower from my opinion. Sure. We've got Hughes and brat and teemo, but the other guys are more two-way. I love Nico but he's not a big point getter and when I say big point, I'm referring to consistently 85 or higher. Granted I love Nico and we need him. He is in my opinion one of our best forwards on the team all around so I'm not dogging him

I really want tarasenko, we should get him maybe 3 years at 3.5 mil per year

A good question now Ace: who finishes better in the standings, NJD or Preds? Playoffs count too

U guys know the season hasnt started, trades FA still all options available, what we have today doesnt mean we have opening day.. Matty Tkachuk was traded July 22… RELAX!!! Fitzy ez B right now, and what the f is the difference between C+ n B- same shit its like youth XL n Adult small

I thibk the devils did good today i dont wana any part of toffoli again at 6 mil and stamkos at 8 mil its only july 1st there can def be another sighning that adresses the top 6…

Not sure what everyone expects. If a guy doesn’t want to come here you can’t make them. And if he over paid for someone you would be crying too.

late to the party getting caught up with ur videos now . ace, u still give fitzy a b after hearing him say hes done today ? i give him a b-

Hate to say it, joes right. top 6 thin

Sal you still here?😂

That’s the BS Fitz has sold us. I mean how do u miss out on Henrique for 3 for 2 seasons Center / Wing with some finish? Smh our prospects are depleted no where to go to get more kinda disappointed who is the second line wing? So now we are missing scorers when last year we had no lock down D or goalie? We shuffled the stink elsewhere. Can’t say we are going to trade for someone because we have nothing to trade. Fitz you failed. Should have went zadorov instead of Pesce nasty mean and can score smh
