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

[Clam Jensen]

Great deal for Winnipeg

I hope they enjoy watching rockets miss the net lol.

 

[Hisch13r]

Meh, he was pretty unimpressive for us and them. He can do a job on a 3rd pair, that's about it.

He had some of the strongest underlyings and by far the best actual goal differential. He’s a great bottom pair guy and 1.5 for that is nothing. We have people creaming their pants over paying a different 3rd pair D 4 mil

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think the issue is giving term to any of these remaining guys, Rico included, could become a major mistake.

If we can't find a trade partner, that forward spot might just need to wait until the trade deadline.

It's a good AAV I guess. I like Kovacevic if we get an injury on the right side.

Brings more of what we need imo.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Everyone plays well with them

Good player, according to scientists and leading experts

 

[Edmonton East]

So then why do we need to sign a top-6 forward when anyone will do?

Because what if Mercer doesn't rebound? I care more about capable C depth, but that'd be my argument.

You simply cannot go into the season without adding another guy. The depth is already awful when healthy and you’re not staying completely healthy. At a minimum you need to add some cheap depth piece if you’re not going to add one of the bigger name guys.

Meh, he was pretty unimpressive for us and them. He can do a job on a 3rd pair, that's about it.

And he got paid like that, so it's a good deal for them

 

[Brick City]

Offering Rico or tarasenko multiple years after missing on marchessault sounds like another palat mistake

Was Palat who we got after reportedly trying for Johnny G.?

Edit for very bad mobile grammar.

View attachment 891013

He’s a solid 3rd liner who is definitely overpaid.

 

[britdevil]

Get back to the playoffs and Palat will shine again.

Overpaid by 1 or even 2 mill, but he's a valuable veteran who has played a lot of playoff hockey. That's good for the room.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

So then why do we need to sign a top-6 forward when anyone will do?

Because injuries happen. Palat in the top 6 should be an injury slide up, not to begin with. Having him in the top 6 and having garbage in bottom 6 means even more garbage when injuries happen

 

[Nico Hischier]

Was Palat after we were reportedly trying for Johnny G.?

Yes

 

[britdevil]

And he got paid like that, so it's a good deal for them

Oh sure. But losing Dillon and re-signing ho-hum Miller has to be a bit of a let down for Jets fans.

This too

 

[Hisch13r]

That shouldn’t be a big let down.

There were some rumblings but who knows if it was true or not. His NTC kicked in today. But NJ would be a spot he wouldn’t object to I’d imagine.

Colton would be a strong add, but Colorado does not overpay and Colton would not come cheap. Maybe they like Hameenaho or Filmon a lot?

I wouldn't trade Silayev, Casey, Gritsyuk or Yegorov given the state of the prospect pool, but I'd be willing to package in and two or three other guys for Colton, easy.

Colorado's prospect pool is not good. I'd rank them:

1 C Ritchie
2 LD Gulyayev
3 G Nabokov
4 RD Pitner
5 LD Behrens

There's literally no wings. The best they have is Olausson, who is probably their 6th best prospect and probably has 3rd line upside. I'd certainly be willing to package both Hameenaho and Filmon as centerpieces in a deal for Colton.

I'm not giving them anything of value. They have 0 leverage

 

[Emperoreddy]

Maybe Tatar or Boqvist is worth looking at again. Imagine either could be gotten on the cheap

 

[Nubmer6]

Mike Hardman was signed, I kid you not.

We had to replace Wood SOMEHOW.

I would be fine dealing Filmon but it would be a hard no for me on Lenni for this particular player.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

With how shitty they've drafted in the later rounds, and cap starting to be an issue, I don't think it'd be wise to trade away the prosepcts we do have that have any sort of promise

 

[Nico Hischier]

We could sign Jeff skinner for one year but the goal is to make the playoffs!

 

[JK3]

How much cash do we have left?

 

[Hisch13r]

How much cash do we have left?

6.8. Have to think Mercer at an absolute min is like 3 mil. Hoping we dump Bastian to free up a few extra hundred thousand
