GDT: 2018 Free Agency: Jay Beagle 4 x 3M, Antoine Roussel 4 x 3.25M, both w/ limited NTCs

[Megaterio Llamas]

So Beagle, Roussel and Schaller plus the new contracts for Virtanen, Baertchi and Stecher begins to get us close to where we need to get to cap ceiling wise.

Job nearing completion folks

Pretty sure that’s how Edmonton fostered their losing culture. But I dunno.

Edmonton's kids outside of Hall were never that good.

 

[Quinning]

Neal spotted in Vancouver?

Where?

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

The count down is on,,,we are soon going to find out what more of a mess Jimbo has collected to the other vetern scraps he has allready hoarded..i would have rathered we moved some guys out first before diving into UFA,s.

 

[Zombotron]

something tells me magicman1963 is actually jim benning

 

[GetFocht]

Actually I retract my statement, Schaller is more of a winger than center in the NHL. We are still in the running for Beagle.

 

[Fire Benning]

Where are people seeing this stuff about Schaller?

 

[member 290103]

We are only getting 1 of Beagle or Schaller. I don't see how there is room for both.

LOL, we are dealing with Benning here, you forget?

J.D. Burke is posting about it on Twitter

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Resign Burmistrov please

Yep, there is always room for madness.

Resign Burmistrov please

LOL

 

[Nuckles]

oof, $1.9M is too much for what he provides. I know most people don't care about short term deals for under $2M, but these things add up.

Maybe we were priced out of beagle and went for schaller?

If not.. where the **** are we gonna fit schaller, beagle and rousell

I'm thinking we might be out on Roussel, Schaller is much more of a winger like him while Beagle mainly played center last year.

 

[CanaFan]

Pretty sure that’s how Edmonton fostered their losing culture. But I dunno.

Pretty sure filling their roster with trash players had more to do with it.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

The thing about Schaller is that he actually provides "grit" compared to Beagle, who's more of a Sutter type.

So I'm thinking that maybe the Canucks are out on Roussel then?

Shaller 6ft2 ,216 center,,played 82 games,,12 goals 10 assists
Plays with some jam,,,i dont mind this if true,,but how many is Benning bringing in,,,,,some one needs to go,,,

I think Granlund has seen his last game as a Canuck. And based on these rumors I wouldn't be surprised if Gaunce has too.

This.

Green made comments over and over last year about players needing to show him they can be guys you can win with.

 

[Fire Benning]

I'll pass on Schaller at 1.9 mil for 2 years.

 

[DonnyNucker]

I'll pass on Schaller at 1.9 mil for 2 years.

12 goals for $1.9MM and some speed and grit? Yes please

 

[Nucker101]

Hawks rumoured to be signing Ian Cole. For around 4M for 3-4 years.

 

[polarbearcub]

The salary cap is 80 million people. I think a lot of us forget this

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

Adding potentially 3 forwards is really strange to me unless they have a move lined up. I mean most of these guys could be chucked out the window and we'd care less, but there's only so many spots. I guess we'll see pretty quickly come tomorrow how much of these are actually becoming true.

 

[Peen]

The issue is we have a glut of forwards who deserve similar ice time who all need longer looks and all have low value.

If they spent $8M on Beagle, Roussel, and Schaller and re-sign Virtanen, Stecher and Baerstchi for another $8M total they're still only around$70M and that's before moving anybody out to make room for the new guys. Not saying they should sign Beagle, Roussel, and Schaller, especially if there is term, just saying there's lots of cap space.

neal?
