GDT: 2024 Free Agency - July 1st - 12 P.M.

[Emperoreddy]

I don't think Henrique would work in our top 6. He would in our bottom 6, but that would mean Haula or Palat are back next to Jack and we shouldn't be doing that either

[Nocashstyle]

The only thing I'm a little nervous about is that I think we may be looking at Palat / Haula in the top 6 again now.

I’m sure Fitz is working the phone on trades too. If not, not the end of the world. Forward depth overall has still improved

 

[Forge]

Tarasenko? Henrique? Skinner?

Don't think we can afford them. Would need them to take some pretty friendly deals. We are pretty capped out at this juncture.

THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF NICO HISCHIER’S LIFE.

NOESEN IS A PP NET FRONT GUY.

YOU’RE FREE NICO, YOU CAN STOP HAVING TO DO THAT SHIT!!!!

7 years for a 30 year old what the f***.

 

[guitarguyvic]

I’m liking these roster changes…looks less soft so far…better balanced…

Not a lot left when you factor in Mercer

 

[DerekDevils30]

Wouldn’t mind Tarasenko at this point. Guy you can shift around and maybe he sparks alongside Jack.

 

[Forge]

Theres no way Fitzgerald is okay with two of Haula/Palat/Mercer in the top-6, right?

I'd wager that is the likely result now.

[Oneiro]

You can definitely make the argument that the Canes depth and our top end is exactly what both teams need.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Mercer Is definitely pencilled in for a top-6 bounce back season

Fitzy has done well, this market is beyond stupid.

Don't be shocked if we move Bastian

$4m Mercer
$0.8m Foote
Send DeSimone to minors.
Leaves about $2.5m left for another bottom 6 forward signing.

I’m pretty comfortable with the roster as is. Bank the cap to load up at the deadline + add Gritsyuk.

 

[woody footbreaker]

dillon on SN

 

[Xirik]

at this point I think Jack is like "I'm good with whatever you give me, just fill in the rest of the roster".

 

[Emperoreddy]

Could maybe try and toss Bastian overboard to create a bit extra space

 

[MartyOwns]

try to add skinner for cheap and call it a day

 

[nugg]

Tarasenko? Henrique? Skinner?

No more than 2 years on any, sure. Luke and Nemo gonna demand some serious coin in a couple years. Need to keep future cap in mind, not just current.

#Palatneverstoppedus

Palat has stopped us from signing a likely equally bad or worse deal for a worse player

 

[youryeah]

seattle has given out two "good gawd" contracts today

 

[forceten]

?-Hughes-Bratt
Meier-Hischier-Mercer
Palat-Haula-Noesen
Cotter-Lazar-Bastian
MacDermid, Foote

Siegenthaler-Hamilton
Hughes-Pesce
Dillon-Nemec
Kovacevic

Markstrom
Allen

Assuming $900k for Foote and $3.5M for Mercer, and sending DeSimone down, that only leaves $3.15M which wouldn't be enough for Colton.
