Treliving signed Derek Ryan to a similar deal with Calgary, and I think Ryan & Kampf are comparable players, so not really a surprise. Ryan did good work for the Flames during his time there, so signing Kampf fits with Treliving's M.O. Now for the next four years Leaf fans can say "mein Kampf", or, really, "unser Kampf".
Ive never been more excited to watch hockey.
i swear since seth jones signed that contract in chicago 9/10 contracts have been too much for too long
Use the big board please for us hard of seeing.
Dear TML Fans:
Here's the basic Shannaplan:
We will keep throwing the same, you know what, at the wall until it sticks.
Just like Shanny's old team DRW did.
Repeat, fail, repeat, fail, until it works.
Thing is:
TML does not have the same players as DRW.
Nor the same HC and GM.
But most of all, DRW did WASTE a lot of years. A lot.
Welcome to Shanny's World, Take 2.
☹️
If NJD can just find a way to fit Hellabuck in …???
I am beyond excited!!!
I see hockey guy had been wearing alot of devils gear lately, and boy does it look good!! LGDs!!!!!!
As a devils fan, I’m aroused
Devils need to figure out Their goaltending if they do they could be really really good.
400000$ too much for kampf…
The Devils would be my choice to win the Stanley Cup-Except that I’m not convinced that their goaltending is champion caliber.
I was really hoping the Leafs would re-sign Kampf. I had him pegged on a 4 year deal around 2-2.5m a year. I was hoping for 2m but I don't hate 2.4m. He is such a valuable bottom 6 forward. Of our pending UFA's, I had him as second priority outside of ROR. But ROR only makes sense if the cap makes sense. The other UFA's I really want back are Schenn and Acciari. I would be okay bringing back ZAR as well if he were under 950k a year.
All in all – this is a great signing. Sounds like we just extended Holmberg to a 800k x 2 year deal also, which is perfect. If Holmberg is our 13th forward to start the year, I am very happy.
They already had a top 5 offense in the NHL. wooooo
As a lifelong Devils fan (since the early 90's) I absolutely love what Fitz has done. These deals are team friendly and we didn't even touch our top prospects. We have Luke and Nemec coming up to compete on that blue line. High expectations over the next few years. LGD!
The Devils are going to be in the mix for another Cup for awhile. They've built such a solid team up and down. The Metro is going to be a beast next year.
Kampf stays healthy and does a decent job.
I think Foote has a much better chance of becoming an impact player on the 3rd line than Holtz, a lot of NJ fans (especially ones who watch him in Utica) don't think he's going to pan out like they envisioned
New Jersey might be a scary team next year. I think all they need is a good starter (Hellebuyck maybe?) and they could be a Cup pick. Im intrigued to see what they do!
Devil's were 4th last season in goal scoring and they have even more firepower with Meier for a full year and Tofolli. As it stands now, 2 rookies (Nemec & Luke Hughes) plus Bahl will be the starting blueliners and team goaltending is just okay (Schmid looks very promising, but is only 22, Vanacek is good, but below average for a 50+ starter, and Daws hip surgery means there is no credible third depth chart goalie). Hellebuyck would really help.
Devils fan, oh man am I excited. Curious what the line combinations are going to be, or what end up working the best.
Is it October yet?!?!?! As a Devils fan, I am loving this deal. Yeah Timo did not put up high numbers. However, he showed A LOT of grit. Just look at the expression on his face when he crosschecked Trouba in game 2. Then in game 7, coming back to play after that massive hit by Trouba, that is grit. That is what this team has been missing.
Timo Meier is a B grade player so 8.8 mill is way too much. The Devils are obviously trying to win the cup in the next 3 years or less though so overpaying is not as bad in that context unless it is a C or D grade player.
Good luck to the Devils winning the cup.
Na think meier is overrated..im lifelong devils fan. And Swiss.. but i dont think with so many swiss they will ever win the cup. Sry fellows…
I still can't avoid thinking of "Puddy" when I see a NJ jersey.
"WE'RE THE DEVALLS!"👹
Suprised Meier got more than Hughes, but NJD looks really fun for next season so I'm looking forward to that!
Devils fans suddenly come out of the woodworks. Funny how every one seemed to have forgotten the "Fire Lindy" chants after two games last season
Excited for this Devils team on paper. Excited about Defensemen Like Hughes and Nemec getting a shot.
😭😍😭😍😭😍😍
Yours truly, a Devils fan since the 93-94 season
I wish Timo stayed in SJ, but happy he’s going to be on a super competitive team. He’s going to be a beast in the east. NJ fans haven’t even seen him at his best yet.
I like the Kampf deal. He is a guy who is a great penalty killer, great shutdown center, trusted in all sorts of situations, and the bonus is he can pot in some goals here or there. He is an elite defensive player and keeping him was a good move. No one bats an eye at someone like Jarnkrok getting long term low money deals, I think Kampf is in the same boat there.
As a leafs and devils fan…I like it!
I wish October was here now! 👹
I dont mind the Kampf deal that much honestly, just plz ffs let Kerfoot walk
Kampf deal is probably about 0.5-1M too high, which the Leafs will probably eventually regret in their cap structure
As a Devils fan, its so awesome to finally be excited and hopeful about the team. Also, THG, love your videos, keep up the amazing work, thank you! 🙂
very happy to have timo.. great video as always. 🙂
If the Leafs keep Kerfoot I'm going to be very disappointed. Loved his ot winner but I want someone new.
