GDT: FA Frenzy time ladies and gents (for everyone else that is)

[SlavinAway]

I'd offer a 3rd team Suzuki and like a 6th rounder to sign Kling 6x7m and then flip him to us 50% retained.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I once tried to ignore everyone on the board. It got boring, but at least the posters I could see (me) were agreeing with my views.

I couldn’t spend that much time with myself. I’m not interesting enough to carry the conversation that long.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I'm curious if the NHL would look the other way on a 3 way deal that ships cap of a long contract to a 3rd team. Yeah, they let it go during the deadline which is usually a few months or a little over a year, but seems if a team signs a 5+ year deal and has a 3rd takes up 35-50% of the cap, it would ring alarm bells.

I also think we underestimate how much capital (picks and prospects) it would really take to get a team to take on a multi-year retention. Suzuki and a 3rd isn't going to be enough for real dollar hit of $3.5M for 7 years.

I'd advice against intentionally making the forum an echo chamber for yourself. No one should want to live in an opinion corridor.

I wonder if he has inside info or if he’s just opining off the LeBrun tweet from yesterday.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I cant see the NHL being okay with a team signing a player and immediately flipping them to another team for 50% retained.

 

[spockBokk]

Making the best of a bad situation? I’d prefer Klingberg over Petry and Petry over Burns so…whatevs

Trocheck to NYR…ouch

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Rangers can afford to fit Trocheck in their cap structure? that would be surprising.

manson back to orange county is surprising as well.

 

[Svechhammer]

Tro to NYR?

f***ing hell, that team is loaded.

 

[WhiteTrashAmerican]

I would be so happy if we got Burns. That's a jersey buy for me. Love that player.

I don't know, if that third team excracts a good honest price for it, picks/prospects and it's a justifiable hockey trade for all parties.

But it does have a circumventionish tang to it, too.

that was my thoughts as well

 

[TheBigLetowski]

Trocheck to NYR is the last obvious choice. Malkin staying. Copp to Det. Krecji to Bos.

pretty big circumventionish tang.

although the NHL looked the other way with Kucherov. Who knows anymore.

 

[Borsig]

Tro to nyr? Can they afford that? With their cap?

We should be in that running. That's a bad deal if he goes to NY. NY looking to win the metro at this rate. If NY can afford him so can we unless he doesn't want to be here.

Much like in-game officiating, it's different when the Canes do it

well obviously, who does it would count a lot.

NHL tends to look the other way with things regarding player health, of which the LTIR absolutely exploited. But when it comes to contracts, they definitely hammer teams when there is a whiff of circumvention, just ask NJ.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

if Tro does sign, Im sarcastically stll in the offer sheet Kakko boat although could see it happening. only would need a 2nd rounder with tro there.

 

[Borsig]

This Tro thing reeks the more I think about it. I realize he's a UFA and poach isn't the bright word, but if it comes out that we lost him over a half million or million over a couple years..... To a divisional rival.... NY can't afford to over pay him. The salary difference couldn't be that much, unless we're offering something stupid or didn't want to keep him

teams lose players for 500k / 1 million a year with more years all the time.

that isnt a carolina management team special by any means.

Maybe wait and see what we do? I’ll be honest, Tro hasn’t really been getting it done postseason and I’m not sure I expect that to change once he gets his big contract. Money perhaps better spent elsewhere.

 

[SlavinAway]

If NYR get Tro it will make it really difficult for them to re-sign Chytil, Lafreniere, and K'Andre Miller next year.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

much like Mrazek in Toronto, how quickly does Edmonton and their poor defense make Campbell look bad? How quickly does Edmonton regret the 5 x 5 deal?
