Nemeth deal? Cos if Nemeth wasn’t ‘disastrous’ then why did we need to give up a second rounder to save a few bucks?
What does disastrous or not have to do with it?

But since you brought it up, I would think taking a “disaster” off our hands would start at a 1st round pick.
I didn’t consider him a disaster, but definitely nowhere near what he was paid. The value of two second rounders, or a second and a third, are far greater than that little money off the books.
That’s fair. Also suspect mentoring Lundkvist played a role in his arrival. He got the Marek Malik treatment from fans but not sorry to see his cap dollars used elsewhere.

Oops, I thought you were saying that Miller was traded...nevermind.
Enough of these small fish moves. Let’s land the big kahuna: https://twitter.com/68Jagr/sta…bXCRCsTopyR_aiDMcYxA&s=19
No source for this rumor other than my overactive imagination but wonder if Drury ends up finding a way to bring Motte back. I believe he is still unsigned.

That's just Drury playing hard ball.
With the signing of Carpenter, I doubt Motte is back.
Friedman said the Rangers were talking to the Blues at th draft. I wonder if it was about Ryan O’Reilly. Hopefully not Tarasenko. He also said they were poking around Miller and Horvat.
Brooks is reporting "a reunion between the Rangers and Jimmy Vesey is on the horizon."

He expects a one-year near the 750k minimum.
Vesey had 8 goals and 7 assists in 68 games last season.
In my opinion, this signing should have no effect on the possibillity resigning Motte or signing another depth forward as Vesey will be part of the competition at wing.
Here's what one Devils fan's opinion of how Vesey played last season:
Jimmy Vesey: B+
Vesey did everything the Devils asked him to do this season. He was a solid bottom-six forward who was an above-average penalty killer. The Devils finished in the middle of the pack in penalty kill percentage, but before Vesey got hurt, they ranked 10-12 for most of the season. I’d be fine with it if the Devils decided to resign Vesey to play the same role.
He's fine for a depth role but I'm still hoping they can fit Motte in.
IMO, No
They are not fitting Motte in unless he takes a pay cut from last year.

Not true, but my guess his next contract, wherever he signs, will be under the 1.225 million AAV of his last contract.
Exactly.If they don't give him less than his last aav,then they will have zero room to add anyone unless they ltir someone.
Still a lot of interesting ufa’s out there.
