Another day, another instance where Luke Hughes hasn’t signed his extension yet. Clearly, he will return to the New Jersey Devils, but it all comes down to money and duration from both sides. The Devils have a solid team, but nothing exceptional. It’ll be interesting to see what the future holds for the organization. Jim Biringer (Full Press Hockey) joined me on today’s episode to discuss the Hughes situation and what’s next for the Devils.

What system? Dude! It's disappointing, Firzy hasn't done too much and this is starting to become a narrative. Palat, is cool, but his time is up. He hasn't responded to the contract.
If Dadanov can get back to where he was when he came into the league,that would be awesome. He was a top scorer in the NHL
I agree, Trey, & unfortunately the Rangers have always been able to bring on the players they have looked for.. To be honest, I can't name 1 superstar player the Devils have ever had besides Jack and Nico. Do you honestly think Conner McDavid or Crosby, Ovechkin would come play for the Devils? I doubt it. Even though money talks.
I do not blame Fitzgerald. The last time the Devils were relevant was 2012; that is a long drought. The common denominator from the era of drought – this ownership tandem. I say whatever Fitzgerald does or does not do, he is just a puppet on a string.
Trey, you need to do a lockdown on Blitzer & Co.
Palat still on team is fireable offense
OK, let’s put the Hamilton thing to rest, the only reason why he came here was because nobody else is giving him $9 million a year second off we should be in win mode trading first round pics every year to require big fish and if trading Dougie can bring back a good top six and a decent defenseman im all for it for the love of god palat needs to go
Not sure if we’re past that window now, but can the Devils still buy out Palat? I think that frees up 4.5 million this year which we can use to re sign Luke then sign someone like Oloffson who can probably replicate Palats production at 1.5 million
Palat needs to be cut loose if they can't find a trade partner. Drury has threaded the needle and put his team in a position where a year from now, they will be wheeling and dealing in the offseason. Trouba, Kreider, and Goodrow traded with no retention is a complete masterclass. They, too, had no trade clauses, but Drury navigated around that. Fitz needs to stop looking like a deer in headlights and do his job.
Yesterday there was another locked on host dissing Markstrom. Seeing how he hasn’t really produced since he became a devil. I was like how dare you
Anyways, great show guys
Yes maybe a playoff team, but quick exit. Fitz better start signing Jack Hughes and all the other veteran young players before they start jumping the ship. Can't win a Stanley Cup with our present GM and coach. Sorry, but I think a lot of Devil fans feel the same way.
My guess is Fitz lets Luke walk. He's an idiot.
This GM is useless. He was handed Hughes, Nico, and Bratt as his top 3 and hasn't done shit with it.
