GDT: 2024 NHL Free Agent Frenzy

[These Are The Days]

Pfffftttt!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Tank told Pittsburgh to get f***ed

 

[Point21]

have this odd feeling that JBB isnt gonna do anything until training camp to see if a 'Cuse kid can step up and take one of those final spots

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

So the Pittsburgh thing is weird. Wonder what happened there.

Did they purposefully leak it to try and force his hand? It’s strange went from sure fire signing to he signed with the wings.

Y'all said let JBB cook, but he's been looking at the value meal menu at McDonalds

Dollar tree shopping confirmed

 

[The Gongshow]

That is if we could find a trade partner willing to pay him that much for that long..without having to add a sweetener. Maybe smarter to trade him before his value is totally in the shitter.


Pretty hard to buy a gourmet meal when you have value meal money available. The alternative is to trade one of Point, Kucherov, or Vasilevskiy to free up the money. Would that make this team better?

Dang, you'd rather move Point, Vasy, and Kuch before Sheary, Cirelli, Paul, Cernak, Perbix?! That's wild

 

[ccman68]

we can always add a forward at the deadline so i don’t care that much. well unless we miss the playoffs

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Fabbri is making 4m for this year only, wonder if we could unload Sheary for a 4th

If Anaheim is take a 4th for $4M, Sheary could easily go for 5th. But I would do a 2nd + 5th + Sheary for Vatrano. Verbeek is just crazy enough to do it.

Well can he hurry the hell up and say something if that's the case? We go from not even a word for who even knows how long to something happening. We all either say "yay" "hell no" or "wtf" and go back to radio silence. It's annoying as hell. This isn't a form of communication. This is the castle suddenly swinging opening its doors for 30 seconds to let us peek inside and then slams shut again and no one knows how long

Forgot to add in my other post - The Blashill Affect.

This one worries me a bunch if that's the system again. Or hopefully some adjustments are made based on the large data set the coaching staff have now on what a cluster it was.

I will even throw in Perbix as the sweetner.

 

[Felonious Python]

TB needs a right-handed 2RW, ideally with a big shot.

Outside Sprong, who I wouldn't really want on the second line, there are not many free agents like that. Even Rikard Rakell seems to play the bumper, Brayden Point's role.

Fortunately, no Stanley Cups are being awarded today.

That's not what I said. I never said that's what I wanted to do. I am asking others..

 

[Master P]

They will save us.

Who is that? Howard?

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Ain't gonna lie boys... I'm a little bummed. Was expecting (or praying) for more but I am now resigned to the fact that this is what we're going to be...

Geekie on the left Howard on the right.

Hang in there. I expect another move at the trade deadline. Might have more takers looking to grab someone like Cirelli (depending on where we are in the standings of course). But I also think this retool is gonna take another offseason to really come together. Just my take on it.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

They will save us.

I’m ready to see them & Kuch tear up the league

All swag team

 

[Renopucker]

Yeah, but can they pound the BudLights?? Not yet, I guess.

I wonder what it would take to get Nick Robertson from Toronto?

I doubt they would trade him to us, but he was a player who stood out to me during their series with Boston. I'm a fan. Hard working player. Had 14 goals and 27 pts in 56 games for the leafs this year.

He's listed as a left and right winger.

I think he would be a good fit.

 

[Crunchrulz]

I was considering it for several hours this afternoon but it's been Lightning tradition for 10 years for all prospects to pay tribute to Syracuse for like 3 years even if it's completely unnecessary. I think there's another move. We're just shy of $6 million. J.J Moser isn’t eating $4 milion


Geekie could score 6 goals in the preseason like Connolly did (I think it was 6) and he'd still be sent down like Connolly was

It was actually four in the 13-14 preseason.

That was the beginning of the end of his time in the Tampa Bay organization. He did everything that was asked of him that pre-season and still got sent down. That is enough to kill the attitude of most players who have hopes and dreams of making the show in a particular organization. His trade to the Bruins at the deadline in 2015 netted the team two second round picks (Matthew Spencer-15 and Boris Katchouk-16).

He did win a Cup with the Caps in 2018 so I would say it worked out well for him moving on from Tampa Bay.

He's kind of more of the same though. Undersized, no real defensive awareness. I don't see us being interested.

My guess is Robertson is traded out of conference, to a team like Vegas or one of the California teams.

Could see a Robertson for Kaliyev kind of swap
