Dougie Hamilton about trade rumors
NJ.com’s Ryan Novozinsky: As Novozinsky wrote, devil defender Dougie Hamilton is still a discussion of trade discussions, according to SportsNet’s Elliotte Friedman and TSN’s Pierre Lebrun. He was able to sit down with the devil defender to discuss these rumors.
One important reason is his $9 million salary as the Devil competes on the salary cap while continuing to sign restricted free agent defensive player Luke Hughes.
Hamilton told him he heard the rumor, but it didn’t bother him. He understands it’s a business and has been working in the NHL for a long time. But Hamilton will focus on what he can control, because nothing else can be controlled. Although the Devil’s defender was asked about staying in the Devil’s side, he told Norwozski that there was a reason he signed in New Jersey because he wanted to win the Stanley Cup with the team.
NHL Rumor: Team is calling on New Jersey Devils about Dougie Hamilton
nhlrumors.com Note: As documented at devilsnation.com and elsewhere, the Devil has no plans to sign Luke Hughes for economic reasons. For Tom Fitzgerald, this is not to start. The devil is opening the window to win the Stanley Cup. The deal Hamilton hurt them on the right as they will ask the young defender to slam the weight class with Johnathan Kovacevic until at least January. Not to mention, Hamilton is still effective in power play and in his own area.
Also, for economic reasons, this is by no means a good thing. One of his control abilities is his 10 no trade terms. Don’t expect him to head to the bottom-fed food team soon or return to Canada. Fitzgerald also made it clear that he has no deals at work to clear the block space.
Yes, it has to be made, but what kind of message does it send to free agents, who see a player who wants to sign there and want to win in New Jersey and then trade? When it happens in Las Vegas, the Devil needs to continue to attract free agents. Transaction Hamilton sent the wrong message. Signing Luke Hughes is prioritized.
Bryan Rust wants to stay in Pittsburgh Penguin
Josh Yohe of Track and Field meets Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust, who has been the subject of trade negotiations when the team is rebuilding. But, as Rust told Yohe, he wanted to stay with the penguin and continue the victory culture established by the people before him.
NHL Rumor: Can Evgeni Malkin and others move on this season?
Rust felt particularly loyal to the Penguins, who gave him his first chance in the NHL. He has gone through several GM changes and several ownership changes, but he has never resigned to give him so many teams. Although he mentioned to him that GM Kyle Dubas might trade him, he wanted to stay with the Penguins, one of the last few players to win the Stanley Cup, passing his knowledge to the young players who are about to come.
Many people think that Penguin will once again approach the bottom of the rankings. However, Rust believes they are not far from the competition. That’s why he wanted to stay in the Pittsburgh Penguin.
nhlrumors.com Note: It is believed that if the Pittsburgh Penguins stayed at the bottom of the rankings again this season, they would sell their assets, including Bryan Rust, as they did a year ago. Penguin opened last year and may reappear this year. Other players include Rickard Rakell and Tristan Jarry. Despite what Evgeni Malkin said, the price must be appropriate. Bryan Rust can greatly benefit many teams, which makes it worth a look.
