Devils on Rolston's Wish List

http://www.northjersey.com/sports/devils/22749159.html

"Meanwhile, a league source indicated there is mutual interest in ex-Devil Brian Rolston returning to New Jersey. Tampa Bay has dibs on Rolston, 35, until noon today after acquiring his negotiating rights from Minnesota on Sunday night for a conditional draft pick. The source said the Lightning and the Devils are high on Rolston's wish list."

Please, please, please!!!

Rolston and Redden would be nearly as good as Hossa.

I would rather have Campbell more than either of them.

Love Rollie, but too old and will cost too much. I'd rather concentrate on getting two premier d-men like Campbell and Redden.

Sorry he's too old.

Campbell and Redden? Theres more chance that I get a camp invite from Lou.

Martin - Redden would be a fine 1-2 punch of puck movers. Oduya has good secondary abilities too.

Rolston is not too old either, a consistant 30 goal scorer since the lockout (playing for NJ West) is always welcome. :nod:

That would be awesome if we sign Rolston...he was my favorite player when he left the Devils. Still has plenty of gas in the tank for a 3 or 4 year deal.

I'd take him in a minute. 35 years old notwithstanding.

He does something most of our forwards forgot how to do last year...score.

I agree, no reason to think differently. Hmm, I'd say, sign him to a 3 year deal and go hard after Redden or Campbell.

Sorry he's too old.

But he can shoot. No one on our team can shoot. Especially that midget *******.

This server is so fried.
anyway, this is nice.

:laugh:

anyone quoting age and rolston in the same sentence obviously haven't watched him play the last few years.

why do you think tampa is pursuing him so hard?

these are the same people that judge a draft pick by his height.

Rolston's a "young" 35 and is in great shape.

Look how Marty played last year at 35 years old. Brian has a at least 3 more very good seasons left in him.

Sorry he's too old.

Think I'd rather have Pando signed

Rolston is way better then Pandolfo, he's a 30 goals scorer since the lockout and he has a mother ****ing rocket of a shot. By playing in Minnesota, he knows our "system" and HE HAS A &UCKING ROCKET FROM THE POINT ON THE PP !!!

Jay Pandolfo has... :help:

Don't tell me he's too old since he has more offensive skill than 10 of our players combined.

A 35 year old coming off back-to-back-to-back seasons with the Minnesota Wild?


2-3 year contract is fine by me.

Great leader, has won the Cup with us. Defesnively responsible, still has some speed and the guy can shoot the puck.

He's 35 and he's missed a total of 7 games in the past 3 seasons. I'm not too worried about his age.

I'd be happy to see Rolston back, but I'm not sure about the likely $6M he's probably going to get.

Gimme Rolston and Redden and Lou get's a :bow: from me. It would look a little something like this IMO...

Parise - Elias - Gionta
Rolston - Zajac - Bergfors
Pandolfo - Madden - Langenbruner
Rupp - Zubrus - Clarkson

Redden - White
Martin - Oduya
Corrente - Salvador
Greene

1) We let Brylin walk so we can call up Bergfors
2) We trade Vishnevski to anyone for anything

Now that's a lineup I'd love to see come october.

I'd be happy to see Rolston back, but I'm not sure about the likely $6M he's probably going to get.

Have you seen that reported or is that just your gut? I don't think he'll get more than $4.25-$4.5 M/ year on a 2-3 year deal, less than $4 on a 4 year deal.

Just a gut feeling. Seems all the hype the past few days has shifted towards Rolston.

Yup, and he is entirely worth those deals.

Give him Gionta money and then trade Brian for another puck moving d-men... like Bieksa.

$4.5M/3yrs wouldn't be too bad. I'd rather have Rolston for the next 3 years than Ryan Malone for the next 7.

Because everyone knows Lou doesn't go after the big fish and Rolston is a step behind Hossa. That's the reason why people are going :yo: over Rolston.

Not just hype around here. But in the media over the last few days, even before the Tampa move, he's been getting talked up a lot more than before.

Rolston testing market.

Come on home Brian. :handclap:

Rolston tells Lightning he's testing the market

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242117

No surprise here, but with his last contract, he's looking to get paid:

Sources say Rolston informed the Lightning this morning that he would become an unrestricted free agent at 12 noon and see what the market will bear for his services.

Come home Brian.

#1 Deterrent to Rolston signing with NJ... Lou would make him shave that thing on his chin.

He can grow it out when it comes playoff time :m-beard:

yea i agree, whats he making now like 2.5-3? hes not going to make a 3 mil jump for a guy his age

Brian Rolston would be a welcomed addition to our Top 6

The only thing I love about Rolston that he would bring to our team is that he has that wicked slapper. He would greatly improve our blue line on the PP

He also has wheels...

He also has wheels...

And he plays 20+ minutes per game.

and can play center

and can play center
But really shouldn't.

Sorry he's too old.

The guy can still fly. And hasn't ever had a major injury unlike Mogilny. The guy has missed only 5 games in 6 years!

But really shouldn't.

He was primarily a LW in Minnessota right?

The very reliable Andy Strickland just reported that Rolston's already received TEN OFFERS!!!

And hopefully he takes it from someone not named the Devils.

Yet some how all, of them from TB...hmm:sarcasm:

He has great wheels, a great slapshot....that may just help the rest of the team WAKE up!

Think I'd rather have Pando signed

I vomited, just now.

He has 17 offers. Our hopes of acquiring Hossa, Campbell, or Rolston and therefore making the team significantly better are dwindling.

If they end up not being worth it, they're not worth it. We have not been hurt yet.
Last year was bad because we got crippled and everyone around us was improving.
The east is standing still.

Seeing how high the market is I have absolutely no problems with not doing anything....

Let the Rangers sign all the high priced free agents, that way everything stays the same...

TSN reporting Rolston might sign with a team soon. Seems to be down to the Devils, Rangers, and Wild.

Please let it be us or the Wild.

Please let it be us or the Wild.

Or the Rangers if the deal is worth much more than 5.5 million per year.

Oh Lou Not The Rags

I'd love the Rolston contract to be 2 years if he signs with us, but I'm 99% sure that its going to be 3+.

I have a feeling it is the Devils. Just going by the way McKenzie reported it.

I'll guess 4 yrs. - 22 mil

Please. Please.

I have a feeling it will be between NY and NJ.. A slight edge to NY

Come back to the Family, Brian!!

TSN reporting Rolson signs with the Devils.

4 years 20 million (total).

Welcome back home Brian!

4 years 20M!

I'm a happy camper! :D

Yuck. 4 years. Passe.

Hope there's not a NMC.

Rolston to NJ!!!!

Per TSN

20 mil/4 yrs

Rollie signed!! 4 years...$5 million per year

Rolston to NJ!!!!

Per TSN

20 mil/4 yrs
It says are on the verge, not done.

And at that price I'm not even sure I want him.

All right, start a new thread to discuss this.
