With all due to respect to Devils and its fans, they are not a contending team.

So you didn’t learn from the mistake that was made when you first signed him. It was an absurd contract but I wouldn’t bring him back for league minimum if I can’t guarantee that he stays with the team.

The devils will have a shot in a few years but Buffalo... probably not ever even with Eichel

Devils aren't signing Kovy.
Not even to 1-year, league minimum.
We have a very good, young forward group.
Give 'em time.

Didn't his team just win the KHL championship?
I wouldn't pay him anything above the league minimum, but it appears 31 teams passed on him this season. I don't think adding a 32 team would change that.

Been saying this for a while but if the Hart is based on how valuable a player is relative to his team, Eichel should win it every season

Buf is a better teamtears of joy they have more talent, its because of Krueger, If Granato was hc the whole year they would be a decent team

I'm willing to concede that if you were to pick the best player of both rosters Buffalo certainly has it with Eichel. To suggest as a team they have more talent? Or have a brighter future? Going to respectfully disagree with you

Maybe that's why I added three top 9 forwards, two top 4 D and a good back up lol.

Need some veterans. Icing an entire forward group of 20 year olds is not a good strategy, as is evident this season. Kovy has loads of experience and great skill

why not? he's not signing here unless they wildly overpay him, and NJ has more cap flexibility than anybody.

So bail on all the kids and bring back Kovy?
Do you remember when he left?
He is the last person on earth they should sign.
