GDT: 2024 Summer Free Agency (July 1st)

[26Mats]

come on KH make a trade today

Hard to see HuGo going into next season with the same linuep. Gorton said they have their eye on a couple of players. Rumors are we're interested in Monahan.

I would be happy with Monahan.

 

[gusfring]

Might as well give up or fold.

Makes sense Kent isn’t doing anything. This division just keeps getting stronger and stronger

 

[Le Tricolore]

What's with all the panic and surprise about the Habs not making big moves lol?

We all knew this was what was going to happen.

For sure. The Habs are still a year or two away from competing for a playoff spot and that's if all things go well with the youth progressing.

I still hope the team can add a top six player and a good vet on D, though.

Not sure why everyone is surprised or angry at us not signing players. We aren't in a position to make big moves by offering long term contracts. Wait another year, clear money off the books and get another top pick. We aren't a Stamkos or Perron away from the cup.

 

[larek]

That's alot for Lind

 

[Troyp]

Debrusk still available

DeBrusk I'd love to have.

It really isn't tho
They're building their way
We're building our way
And when those teams start having roster and money problems in a couple years

That's when we'll be catching our stride with all our 24 ye old studs and 20+Mill cap space ready to pitch to any potential 'actual' big fish in free agency

 

[morhilane]

Looks like the Capitals GM forgot there was a salary and roster cap...

I think that can still happen either through trade or seeing whats left after the initial wave where GMs are throwing money around. Habs should only go for value adds in free agency (short term big AAV types). These multi year deals on players exiting their prime won't help us.

Nice.

Habs aren't really committed to doing anything they've said.

Can't sign bottom 6 players, so doubt next year they'll be able to sign the good free agents.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Doubt we go for Debrusk. We are only interested in 1-2 year deals.

 

[larek]

Yuck thats alot of money for a third pair d-man in Zadorov my god

He can do some stuff and really played well in Nuck's playoffs

 

[Wateredgarden]

The BJ are gonna be good this season.

You need to insulate younger players. Getting your head bashed in for years doesn't work unless you hit on a McDavid.

The point is to acquire a couple of guys to actually help your young players along. Have the games mean something at least in March. Have Demidov a little something to play for. Give Dach a real solid winger. Nobody's claiming that signing one of those guys makes us contenders. It's specifically designed to help your young players instead of them staring down another season where they're out of the playoffs by December. It's deflating for the team (something they've already acknowledged.

 

[Whitesnake]

Okay Hughes, I have stuff to do today. Please come out and call a PC and say we're not doing anything...thank you.

Though I do expect a bottom 6 player. And a depth d-man.

 

[Nedved]

inflation taking hold of the nhl. some of the prices and term, yikes, no thank you. I wouldn't mind Monahan at 3 years looking how the day has unfolded.

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Pretty sure this summer gonna be statut quo for Montreal, not that I think it is a bad thing, but I don't see us finishing anything other than bottom 10 again in 2024-2025.

 

[Andy]

Getting Debrusk would be a win.

I wouldn't mind Roslovic either
