Then Powers: “So let’s start with probably the biggest hot button, Luke Hughes, limited free agent, New Jersey Devils. Tell us why this man has no contract.”

Marek: “First of all, we are going to make a joke to the obvious, Vancouver?”

Then: “Yes, please, Marek. I want to go into this. Like, there are a few of these guys, I am, I am blown away that offers have not been thrown away.”

Marek: “Yes. I mean, listen, I think someone, I think that’s one that is being done. First of all, this kind of all is under the umbrella of, I think players now understand it, and teams. I mean, listen, we have just seen this with the foreston Bruins. If, it doesn’t do anything good if a player misses the time?”

Chris: “Oh, such a fact.”

Marek: “Anyway, especially, especially young players.”

And: “Absolutely.”

Marek: “Nobody is, nobody (Sergei) Fedorov, who misses half a season, gets an offer sheet, is linked and he comes back and he is the best player. As if that does not happen. Yes, you are not, you are not, you are not that, you are not that, you are not that guy. You are not that guy.

Look, devils are a defense of a defense. I know that Jonathan Kovacevich is a right side and look, Hughes is the left side. But still. And this is a huge year for the. It is a very experienced group of negotiators at CAA, and his father is a large part of it. And this whole thing is built in many ways to that family. I don’t think this is this one second, that it will not be done.

NHL -Rumors: Mason McTavish Thoughts and Filip Gustavsson

Really, I mean, the big question for me is on defense, who is it, is it (Simon) Nemic or will it be (Sean) Casey as the next, do you know, young guy who comes in the blue line?

But I tend to think that, and this may just be true for many of these, RFA, perhaps Marco Rossi, perhaps not so much, but we will see (Rossi signed a three -year bridge deal after the podcast was broadcast). I think. I think this, I think it will be done earlier, for training Kamp. I think there are two, two veterans, two wise on both sides.

That I mean now, the only thing we have to remember, remind ourselves, and I think this will probably come into play with someone like Luke Evangelista there, this is the last year that your eight -year -old deals can sign, right? “

…

Then: “Yes, if we look at the devils, I think that people are not talking about is that they literally cannot afford Luke in the long term.”

Chris: “Yes, anyway.”

Then: “I mean, Luke Hughes has eight by $ 8.5 (million), 8 by $ 9.5 (million), this, this deal that we see signing everyone. We see Sanderson signing it. We have seen (Brock) Faber see these types of deals signed. (Charlie) Mcavoy’s deal, as if that is the standard for this type defender.

And I think that’s what his camp and himself think he is. They have $ 6.1 million cap space, and they don’t have many boys who will come up next year. So the devils also stare over the barrel of, they have to make a profession. So yes, I know for sure that they are, hey, you know, draw a five, two years to five, but even that when I am Lucas Hughes, I have something like that *Ucked. No chance that I will sign that. Are you crazy? “”
