Devils Talking to Campbell

At the Draft it was reported that the Sharks gave about 7 Eastern teams permission to talk to Brian Campbell. Everson is reporting that the Devils were one of those teams and has had talks with Campbell.

Devil GM Lou Lamoriello has already made an early, sanctioned, start at trying to land a top star in today's opening of unrestricted free agency, where his team shipwrecked last year.

The Post has learned that Lamoriello took advantage of permission San Jose granted last week to woo defenseman Brian Campbell, widely regarded as the top prize in today's unrestricted crop.

"We did have discussions. I'm not sure if Lou is going to make an offer, but we'd be receptive to listening," agent Larry Kelly said.

Nothing to get hopes up about but the Devils do seem interested.

Very vague and general, using an old quote from Lou. It merely listed all the players these boards have been poching. I wish it was true =[

If Lamoriello doesn't sign Salvador ("a distinct possibility," agent Carlos Sosa said last night), ex-Devil Mike Commodore is his likely target.

I mean i dont kno if i wanna sign him till he is 40 with that kind of money. I mean he is good and would address a need but if its getting that bad i would rather go after Streit, Redden, or Hainsey. There going to be cheaper and we dont have to sign them to as many years.

I dont know what i want other then a FA signing soon! lol

I've said this about 1000 times, but it SHOULD be a rule that if a thread is about Everson, his name MUST be in the thread title, to save people who disregard everything he says (like me) from clicking on said thread.

I second this motion. I believe they do the same with Eklund on the main trade rumors board.

Im pretty sure Mike Mottau is better in his own zone than Brian Campbell, most certainly on par. I really dont think thats a reach either.

Honestly, that deal is absolutlely disgusting.

Well, I'm just glad Lou didn't tie up that much money, for so many years for a player who is good...but not great in my books. I am reminded of Malakhov and Co. not so long ago. :)
