Il y a quelques étés, Ondřej Palát a signé un contrat de cinq ans avec les Devils du New Jersey. Même si sa production et son expérience sont parfois solides, il est définitivement surpayé. Cependant, il a l’habitude d’intensifier son jeu lorsque cela compte le plus. Il y a peut-être un avantage à ses capacités.

So Palat has a NMC for this season but the last two seasons it drops to a 10 team no trade. Yes Palat is a bit over paid but he's a solid player outside the cap hit and he's also the vet with a cup to give weight to his message and bring that experience to the group.
Yes, it's a pricey contract that we all wish was cheaper, etc. But given that it is what it is, I think it's on Palat to bounce back and live up to what got him signed in the first place: playoff performance and experience. This past season was a disaster for the entire team and Palat was not the cause of their struggles. If they push their way back to the playoffs, and he disappears at that point, THEN I feel there's reason to really get mad at the guy. But if he's helping them play well, help them shut their opponents down, help the inexperienced guys step up their game, etc, then he's doing what he was hired for and we should just chill out about his contract. It's not the worst deal ever signed anyway.
Why Do So Many People Hate Ondřej Palát? It is because Palát doesn't put up the numbers (goals, assist, advanced metrics, hits, extra) to justify his contract; full stop. It was a bad signing when it was made, and it has only aged worse. His only 'good' qualities are mostly unquantifiable: he brings a winning culture (yes, he was on a team that won the cup; but that is just paying for past results, not futures.), he is a leader (this one probably has the most positives if true; but it is something hard to put numbers on and hard to see as a fan.), and, the thing people talk about the most, he steps up when it matters most (This one I hate the most, as it takes small sample sizes as gospel; it just means he got lucky that he hot at the right time. Then, once people get it in their heads, it just continues as confirmation bias. "Look he got an assist, he stepped it up!", "Look, he made a big hit and then we won the game, he stepped it up!", "Look, he is breathing in the playoff game, he stepped it up!"… Once a guy gets this reputation, they get overpaid and anything they do in the playoffs is overblown as them stepping up their game when it is needed the most.)
All in all, people just hate on Palát because he is the Devil's 'bad contract'; and simply fans cannot justify the amount he gets paid. It was an overpayment when it was made, and as he ages, it is a bad contract looks worse and worse with time (and with the NMC, it won't be going anywhere). Anytime you pay a bottom 6 guy top line money, they will receive hate from the fanbase.
Hes a 3 million dollar player making double that amount. I blame Fitzgerald more but I don't think Palat brings much to this team that another bottom 6 players couldn't.
This year I referred to him as the "Invisible Man." He was virtually nonexistent this year. He is getting paid a boatload of cash and I wish he showed up more on the score sheet to justify that cost. But there is an intangible piece that we the fans don't see and that is his impact on his teammates in the locker room and on the ice (At least I hope)….
Palat is fkn amazing if it wasn’t for him so many good plays wouldn’t have happened ever since he came to us
Buy out
at 2.7m people would LOVE him :)) under cap players are not evaluated as they are..
I think they paid him hoping for his clutch playoff performance and leadership.
Well, he was a huge part of the series win over New York last playoffs. That’s basically what the signing is worth. He has an extra gear in the playoffs.
I have a feeling he had/has a pretty long leash with the past coaching staff/leadership group.
I do think he will be asked to motivate the group moving forward. I really feel like Keefe has a great opportunity to tap into unused potential on this team. Palat is a big part of that, especially if we get another solid guy for our middle six
Because he's a third liner making 6 mil a year. He's just as one dimensional as Holtz, but on the defensive side and he's an offensive black hole who is an absolute anchor on whose ever line he's on.
Uneducated in hockey is why people hate. They just want glitzy stats like Mcdavid
Palat will step up this year if he wants his 3million bonus pay for his salary cap for performance bonus per cap friendly. Doubt Keefe will let him play as he wants.
I hate Palat because we can't even buy out his overpriced contract. The Devils would only save $500,000 this year. We are stuck with him for this year at least. He should be included in any deal for the 10th overall pick
Palat is a great player and a great locker room guy the devils need also someone who can implement a hard working work ethic to the younger guys, its the stuff you dont see on the ice too that makes him a great person for the devils, its not always about the points guys!
You see when the Devils new the playoffs where close. Palat was the guy who stepped up and playec with determination. He is strong in the playoffs. Thats basically why he is there. He steps to the plate when it counts.
