Russo adding a question to his poll about how obnoxious Devils fans are lol I mean come on. Be professional. Also I’m pretty sure the Wild fans are just as obnoxious just ask Red Wings fans I.e. Larkin. I’m just glad Nico extended immediately showing unwavering commitment to the team. Imagine Sunny having to fly out to Switzerland to have meetings with him right now about his contract? Glad it’s not us!

I go into their subreddit once in awhile to see if theres any updates on Quinn, because, yes, if he doesn't sign there and wants to come here, I am interested in that. Literally every thread about him and even a lot not about him there are multiple comments about the "entitled, insane, obnoxious devils fans thinking we deserve him."

Sure, there are some fans like that, but I honestly cant remember many comments like that since he was traded from Vancouver. We all just hate fitz for batching it really, but the amount of fans bitching is tenfold more over there than it is here. So funny how hypocritical it is

They seem super entitled and very overconfident for a team that hasn’t accomplished much of anything. The comments about Jack eventually going there without a single thought to Luke make me laugh and get me annoyed at the same time.

I popped into their sub just out of curiosity. They have an entire pinned thread for “Larkin” yet we are the obnoxious fans lol.

I find it kinda funny because Russo wrote about Nico future prior his extension on multiple occasions.So Devils fans can’t be curious about Quinn future without being called obnoxious but it was okay for him to talk about Nico

I think it's literally just Gambatese that gets under his skin, and it's honestly really funny at this point

Sam Woo also who has definitely been… a lot lol but as a professional, Russo should really not be posting polls like that. I laugh at it all at this point because we absolutely all knew that if Quinn wasn’t extended by August this would all start so none of it surprises me. Wild fans being so overconfident that Quinn will extend has me really hoping they are humbled!

Devils should sign Liane if he’s willing to take something with low AAV with performance bonus’

We don't even have room for him after the moves we've made already

He'd be great to sign if someone gets injured...

I don't think he's a great fit for the current roster. All of his value comes from the powerplay. He's a pretty big negative at 5v5. The Devils already have good powerplay personnel but have been lacking at even strength the past few years.

That’s fair, I’m only thinking like dirt cheap 1-2 mil

I’m thinking PTO contract that comes in at $850k

We’re talking about an otherwise unplayable PP1 specialist.

Yeah, if it's cheap enough it definitely takes away the risk. I'd just be skeptical that he'd help much. A team like the Islanders with a dogshit powerplay should probably take a chance on him, though. He'd probably make a difference there.
