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

[AfroThunder396]

Seattle is having a BAD day

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

To be honest, I wish we still had Holtz to fill the last remaining forward slot. I wanted to see him under a new coaching regime. Shelden Keefe could of been good for him.

 

[Forge]

Bring me Daniel Sprong!

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

I still think we add another forward.

Bratt-Hughes-Mercer
???-Nico-Meier
Palat-Haula-Noesen
Cotter-Lazar-Bastian
Foote

I dont love Lazar as a fourth line center. I think he is much better on wing.

Cotter will 100% be on the third line and that means Palat top-6

They arent adding another forward unless one leaves

Cotter played nearly 13minutes a game in Vegas, he wont be dropping in ATOI here

 

[AfroThunder396]

It’s 2016 all over again

Seattle is having a BAD day

They have essentially locked in Montour and Stephenson as core pieces for the next 6 years and that is horrendous.

I’m beginning to come to this conclusion as well. Palat in the top 6 isn’t how I was hoping this day would end, but we’ll see where things go.

Ron Francis is drunk. I mean, he has to be right?

 

[Nubmer6]

Presuming we sign Mercer to 3x4.25, we have about 5.1M left. My ideal scenario is to trade picks for Colton (3x4M) sign a couple AHL/NHL tweener forwards and call it a day.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

McGroarty to fill that top 6 wing spot next to Jack?

 

[dgibb10]

Not enough comments on TomASS Nosek leaving imo

 

[Oneiro]

Edmundson for 4 years. My god, if GMs like trees so much, just go to f***ing Northern California.

 

[Alex NJD]

Roughly 3.1 million after likely Mercer and Foote deals.
Tarasenko? He has 2 cups he probably just wants to maximize his payday so doubt he takes 1x3\
Sprong on a 1 year deal?

 

[Emperoreddy]

I will say though, we had a bunch of holes to fill and filling all of them in one offseason was a tall ask.

Fitz did well to fill the majority of them, we are a much more complete team today then we were this time last year TBH and we have a better coach now.

Still would kill for one more scoring winger

 

[britdevil]

That Stephenson contract is putrid. Woof.

There currently is no hole - at least, not based on contract totals

Whether this is the lineup youd make or not:

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

With Mercer still needing to be re-signed, so youre talking only a 2-2.5m to work with. That isnt getting a middle-6 forward

he'll prob bounce back in florida, lucky guy

I think you're missing a signing somewhere. We have about 6.7 left right now and that's before factoring in Foote and Mercer.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

McGroarty to fill that top 6 wing spot next to Jack?

Makes sense. We would need to trade Casey for him and potentially add more

Where are you getting 5m leftover from? We signed Noesen as well so 2.75 of that is gone

 

[OmNomNom]

would make training camp awkward

Oh, he's back? I thought he never left.
