Empty network: Jeff Marek joined Dan and Chris Powers in the empty Nets show and was asked about the New Jersey Devils restricting free agent Luke Hughes and what happened to him.

Dan Powers: “So let’s start with what’s probably the biggest hit button, Luke Hughes, a restricted free agent, New Jersey Devils. Tell us why this guy doesn’t have a contract.”
Marek: “First of all, we want to make it obvious that Vancouver should be kidding him?”
Dan: “Yes, Marek. I want to get into this. Like, there are a few guys, I’m, I’m blown away and that piece of paper isn’t thrown away.”
NHL Rumor: New York Rangers instead of rebuilding instead of rebuilding
Marek: “Yes. I mean, I think, I think that’s done. First of all, it’s under everyone’s protection, and I think the players get it right now. I mean, I’m just listening, we’re just seeing this with the Boston Brown Bears.
Chris: “Oh, that’s the truth.”
Marek: “Especially, especially young players.”
Dan: “Absolute.”
Marek: “Nobody, nobody’s (Sergey) Fedorov, he missed half a season, got the quotes, got the match, he’s back, he’s the best player. It doesn’t happen like that. Yes, you’re not, you’re not that, you’re not that guy, you’re not the pace of that game.
Look, the devil fell on a defense. I know Jonathan Kovacevich is on the right, and look, Hughes is on the left. But still. It’s been a huge year. This is a very senior negotiator group of CAA, and his father is an important part of it. This whole thing was built in many ways in that family. I don’t think it’s a second, it’s not done.
NHL Rumor: Mason McTavish Thought and Filip Gustavsson
Indeed, I mean, my biggest question on defense is, who is going to go, will this be (Simon) nevic, or (Sean) Casey be the next one, you know, young guy, pop up on the blue line?
But I tend to think that, which is probably the case, a lot of them, RFA, maybe Marco Rossi, maybe not that much, but we’ll see (Rossi signed a three-year bridge deal after the podcast airs). I think. I think this is one, I think it was done before training camp. I think there are two, two veterans, two on both sides.
I mean, now, we do need a reminder, one thing to remind ourselves, I think that might work with someone like Luke Evangelista (Luke Evangelista), which is a deal you can sign for eight years, right? ”
…
Dan: “Yes, if we look at the devil, I don’t think people are talking about that they can’t afford Luke for a long time now.”
Chris: “Yes, right.”
NHL Rumors: New York Rangers, Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin
Dan: “I mean, Luke Hughes has $8 (million), $8 by $9.5 (million), and that’s this deal we’ve seen everyone sign. We’ve seen Sanderson sign the signature. We’ve seen (Brock) Faber sign these types of deals. (Charlie) McAvoy’s deal, like this type of defense.
I think that’s what his camp and what he thinks himself. They have a cap space of $6.1 million, and there aren’t many people out of the cap next year. So the devil is also staring at the bucket of the bucket, and they need to trade. So yeah, I’m sure they’re like, hey, you know, signed for five years, two years by five, but even if he’s Lucas Hughes, I’m like, ‘get*ucked. I didn’t have a chance to sign. Are you crazy? ‘”
