2023 Free Agency/UFA Targets

[Bench]

Sorry @norrisnick

It's happening!

 

[Holden Caufield]

Christ that was quick. I was going to EDIT and I got the alert.

Bravo.

Post in thread '2023 Free Agency Thread' Confirmed Signing with Link: - 2023 Free Agency Thread

I don’t know if he was qualified.
I guess I used the wrong tense there on didn’t/don’t.

Might make sense if they *don’t* end up qualifying Veleno. My bad.

No worries.

I just wanted to post the list, nothing at all towards you.

I guess I posted to quick and it doubled up, so it's my bad.

Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha
Perron -Copp- Raymond
Kostin - Fabbri - Rasmussen
Berggren - Veleno -Zadina.

Our QO’s

 

[ricky0034]

it always makes me sad when I see Newpower's name and then remember that he's just a 25 year old AHL lifer

that name would be perfect to throw out there against Buffalo

 

[lhsgolf19]

Our QO’s

That tells me Kostin's deal is coming

 

[Christien]

Surprised we qualified Newpower and McIsaac. Both not very good players

Serviceable warm bodies still far away from counting against the AHL vet rule so Yzerman can sign half a dozen that do count against it to rotate in and out of the pressbox.

Newpower is interesting because I thought he was eligible for Group VI. EDIT: Nvm. His first year in the pros was on an AHL deal.

Our QO’s

That must be a mistake/omission. We had to have qualified Kostin.

Was hoping Luff would be qualified.

Why? They probably just resigned him and are waiting to announce it

I've heard from others that Foote is downright terrible. Like a pylon clone of hal gil. I don't know if true or not, just from the comments I've seen.

We do NOT want Foote. Ironically enough, he doesnt have speed at all, he would end up being our scapegoat.

Bigger spacegoat that Chiarot?

 

[LeighDx59]

...okay maybe not over Chiarot, but only cause Chiarot is older and paid more.

I think Klingberg over played his hand last summer and will now just try and cash in as much as possible
7m last year
2x6m this year seems fair

Pair him with maata and PP2 QB

He will still put up 35 to 40pts

Klingberg would need a massive crash course on how to play D

 

[lilidk]

? Larkin Raymond
Mazur Kasper Lombardi
Berggren Danielson Rasmussen
Veleno Savage ?
? Seider
Edvinsson - ASP
2 big guys
Is this what we going to see in 4 years?

 

[Holden Caufield]

Steve better put pen to paper quickly here with Kostin…

Or trade him?

 

[Hoog]

Do we go big or go home in free agency?

Well guys, I accidentally fuc*ed up…

I accidentally cut my beard WAY to low and I look ridiculous. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I can only imagine that this can only mean that my humiliation is our windfall.

This summer, we are going to have a completely new look team by training camp with at minimum 4 new free agents (not including kostin). Those 3 are going to be a goalie, rhd, and 2 forwards.

Again, this is because of my royal fuc* up and can only mean good luck. Because if we don’t have good luck in free agency, then this is just another kick in the dic* and I can’t have that.

LETS HAVE A GOOD OFF-SEASON. LFG

 

[DTR]

Compher would be a terrible signing in almost any scenario. In no way is committing resources to another top nine forward with limited offensive ability a good idea.

 

[jkutswings]

Upgrading 4th line talent to 3rd line talent and missing the playoffs again to draft 12th is not a successful year. Free agency should be a small fraction of the activity this summer.

If we are limiting term, whatever. But it’d be nice to actually add proven NHL talent to the core of the team.
