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

[Borsig]

I was thinking the same thing. If we already had a deal done with the Habs (rumors saying they have a trade in place with someone) then why are we still being linked to Burns or Klingon?

I don't want Burns because of the price. But I think I'd rather have him or Klingberg instead of Petry. Petry just seems..boring and not that great

Gards <---> Burns 50%...what do we need to add? SJ gets 3 years at 4m cap relief...are they trying to compete?

Maybe we add a good-ish prospect and a mid round pick? I don't think SJ is trying to compete just yet, but they're trying to be better while restructuring that cap distribution.

I know a lot of people are down on it, but I really like the Burns idea. With retention, he's not that expensive, and the cap is going up dramatically as soon as next year. And he's good, and will be a lot better playing 20 minutes a night instead of 26+.

easy pal. you have over 15,000 posts in 5 years. that's a sh!t ton of comments. I'm sure you have your share of critical comments like most of us have. we can all play nice in the sandbox.

No doubt but this guy has been having a tantrum ever since TDA was traded spreading across multiple threads. Basically every post has devolved to "our front office is cheap and we won't pay anyone and we will never get any FA and our window has passed and this team sucks"

its old

Where, on the Stars board side?

Guys on SiriusXM brining it up. Could be old rumors.

probably pirate radio.

Are they expecting a reaction?

You know what's old? People whining about other people's posts. Don't like 'em? Skim over 'em and move to the next post in the thread.

of course they are. As trocheck signs elsewhere and then JG goes to a metro squad, the twitter will be blown up with more fans crying about how terrible the mgmt team is than this board.

They could use some more law enforcement in those parts. I heard the cops pulled out a long time ago.

This is a competitive game. If your opponent who beat you last year gets better and you don't....welp you know where we stand then.

 

[Tryamw]

Don't worry. They'll be out in the hallway.

that why they have a reduction in births in detroit?

I made the mistake of reading the comments on the Facebook post about the Noesen re-signing. Most of that group is clueless ha.

 

[DaveG]

I did see talk on twitter a few days ago (forget who) that Nino was still interested in returning to the Canes, but wanted to see other offers as well. So maybe his agent just sucks at the tampering game, but I still have him as a 30% chance of returning guy, where I've long assumed Trocheck was gone.

This is exactly where I am.

I basically was operating under the assumption that Tro was going to Pittsburgh if Malkin signed elsewhere. Didn't happen and now he's probably stuck looking for the best of what else is out there. The other option I saw for him, Boston, seems to be more into getting the band back together so he's out for them too. So what options were left are either signing with a bad team (Seattle or Arizona would have the cap) or reaching out to what playoff contenders have an open 2C slot and seeing what their best offer is.

So when are we trading for Patty Kane?

Kane Aho Svech
who cares who cares who cares

Slavin who cares

not hurt goaler

[Nikishin Go Boom]

we are going to run 'who cares' into the ground playing him so much.

 

[DougieSmash]

Don't care about Trocheck at all.

I want to add elite forward.

Latest is Kane isn't moving anytime soon; would be an in-season/deadline move.

Gowron to Carolina?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

then why are we still being linked to Burns or Klingon?

To experience bij?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Gowron to Carolina?

we would have a lot more oomph per 60 that is for sure.

Whenever there is a big PR it's always lies....Guerin? ...Talbot can eat shit he's not going anywhere. 24 hours later....

This is a competitive game. If your opponent who beat you last year gets better and you don't....welp you know where we stand then.

Not to mention, you can maybe sell this frugal moneypuck "we're doing this to be competitive long term" stuff to some of your fans, but our best players probably won't buy it for much longer. Especially if we continue to spin our wheels in the next playoffs or two, Aho could very well be our Gaudreau. That doesn't mean we have to sign marquee free agents every season but I'm sure they'd like to see us be more aggressive about winning.

Rumor is Kane was last seen hanging out in the sauna with his good buddy Teravainen eating pickled fish and bbq.

The only thing that stands out as not credible...is do people eat in the sauna?
