GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[glenwo2]

If Bratt really wants to be paid more then Hughes then Bratt can go kick rocks. I love the player but him & his agent are a pain in the ass in negotiations. He should be getting the Nico contract. If he really wants to be paid more then Hughes then package his ass up for Tkachuk.

I don't think it's Bratt more than his Agent trying to squeeze as much money from Fitz as possible.

In the end, I think Bratt re-signs but it won't be at 8 million.


I really think Bratt gets Nico's deal.

What did they do last year? I don't remember.

IIRC they were very trolly during the day

IIRC they were very trolly during the day

They put Dougie's face in the FA preview too.

This is not the full picture. You're buying out more UFA years and fewer RFA years on a max-term Bratt extension, so the value is naturally increased. If Hughes was signing his contract at Bratt's age, he would have cost more.

We are getting a bargain on Hughes, Bratt we will have to pay market value for.

If Gaudreau wants to play for Philly he'll go to Philly.

Didn't they post map directions from Prudential Center to some museum in New York?

 

[AfroThunder396]

Good players deserve to get paid and Bratt is pretty easily worth over 7M. Getting him for less than that is a dream.

they need to shed money, he won't play for that much less

i think he'd do philly for 8M AAV if they can make it work

I mean if they could do that then Johnny would be a Flyer. They can't do that.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Johnny PLEASE

 

[StevenToddIves]

@StevenToddIves sorry, my dude.

Yeah, that one hurts haha.

if we sign johnny, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with bratt. it definitely makes him somewhat expendable, whether you guys like it or not.

On a team that isn't already a true Cup contender, a 23 year old who scores basically a point per game is most definitely not expendable.

[Eggtimer]

Yeah, that one hurts haha.

Aghhhhh He was my want for Subban replacement

 

[Guttersniped]

@StevenToddIves sorry, my dude.

 

[glenwo2]

Anaheim signing anyone with a pulse.

 

[Comparison Ford]

very happy he left the rangers, i love this player so much. think he’s a gamer.

@Bleedred , what's your take on THIS deal? lol

The goalie regurgitation and recycling program strikes a

He's burnt crispity.

37 years old, 2 straight poor seasons.

I really didn't expect him to play in the NHL this year, but here we are. You can never rule it out with the goalie regurgitation and recycling program that this league is a part of.

He probably won't play much with Igor in front of him, so it's probably not a crushing move.

Rangers just upgraded in goal and at 2nd line center with Halak and Trocheck. They're going to be extremely tough next year.

 

[Forge]

Damn, didn't see we lost AJ Greer to Boston. that sucks. I really liked having him in Utica

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

Apparently he's the most reliable local Philly reporter

He is as plugged in as it gets for them.

Could be down to us vs Grandpa
