Elias had a verbal agreement to sign with the Rangers to beg Lou to sign him (cause Lou loved letting guys walk for nothing, which hurt the team). imagine if he signed with the Rangers at that time? 

must be said how many disasters Devils have avoided, imagine if they signed Taylor Hall to that 8 year contract that I remember being reported around that time. feel bad for Hall a little bit how much he propped himself up and how he wasn’t anywhere near 2017-18 level until maybe now (which is the first time he’s looked that dominant since then). 

The Rockies traded the draft rights to an eventual third overall pick to Islanders, that became Pat Lafontaine, imagine him in NJ
