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

[TheUnseenHand]

I'd probably trade Casey for McGroarty

 

[Moist ReadOnly]

We really should move Casey+ for McGroarty - Casey has zero chance at NHL hockey here with Pesce now, Hamilton, and Nemec

Would be a middle-6 add whos cheap as well, pushes Foote or Bastian to 13F

 

[dgibb10]

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.

This made me think of how important still having Michael McLeod would have been to us.

Which led me to Ryan Mcleod if we could trade for him or a similar type asset. Slide Palat and Cotter up, bastian to 4LW, and Mcleod at 4C

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.

Even Graeme Clarke could have been a fun tryout for a top 9 offensive role (Fabian Zetterlund esque)

 

[Normal Devil]

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

I don't know if would take much more than that. I don't think the Jets have a lot of bargaining power here.

 

[Nubmer6]

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.

I only kept 7D, Kovacevic being the 7th. MacDermid and DeSimone down to the A.

 

[Xirik]

did I miss something? has the Pensce contract not happened yet?

 

[Devs3cups]

Pesce, Dillon, Noesen signed.

I'd rather keep Casey. We'll need him if there injuries to one of our 3 RHDs.

Furthermore, I could see Hamilton declining in a few years, and we'll want Casey ready to step in and pick up the torch when that happens.

Eh, I’m not against moving Casey in right deal but we’re going to have to dump Hamilton sooner than later so we can pay Luke & Nemec.

Defensemen also just feel like starting pitching in baseball to me: you really can't have enough depth, because odds are you're going to use it all at some point during the season.

Kovacevic and Desimone will get time over Casey if needed. If they can pull the trigger on McGroarty they should, but I can’t see it happening since we just inked Casey to his ELC.

 

[Saugus]

Looks like Dallas signed Brendan Smith.

Good for him, but:

Obviously not true. There is no telling what the team looks like in a year or two.

 

[britdevil]

Smith to Dallas lmao

Losing McLeod also hurt us with Holtz, as they really started to gel as a duo. Afterwards, Holtz really struggled.

So were keeping our best asset shelved because... maybe theres injuries?

Yeah, thats what extra defenseman are for - not valuable RHD prospects

And yeah yeah I know, everyone wants Dougie out the door - its not happening. Dougie is 31 and some of yall treat him like hes 34

Casey has no path to success here with Pesce now signed

 

[SansaStark]

Rutger or Pinto trade and I’m very happy with today.

 

[Guttersniped]

Dallas had a specific need there after buying out Suter.

Oh, we didn’t sign Duclair?

You know, you’re right, I’ll get on the phone now and trade Semus Casey.

Nice to see Lou finally woke up

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I really wanted Duclair :/

 

[Brodeur]

Curious what Kahkonen gets. Who still needs a goalie? @Brodeur ?

Bad time to be an unsigned goalie. Only spots left might be backup for Colorado/Tampa but they have limited cap space. Maybe Vegas if Schmid's not getting an NHL spot? Winnipeg signed former Devils legend Eric Comrie, but maybe he's a #3 for them?
