GDT: Free Agency 2019

[Gardner McKay]

Just enough money now for Panarin ... interesting.

Yep. That is an interesting and great point.

 

[Section311]

I think fake. I didn't see anything on his twitter from the last two hours.

It was a fake and it turned out to be correct lol

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Vesey's cap space is more valuable than Jimmy Vesey.

Its that simple

 

[Fitzy]

Vesey didn't have a ton of value. He's a third liner who sucks defensively. He gets some sporadic offense, but I'd put him

Grabner
Pouliot
Vesey
Stalberg

Third on our recent 3LW list.

 

[GAGLine]

If you ever find $50 on the street, let me give you a $20 for it. This is what people tell themselves to make them feel better about mistakes.

This is why I laugh at the people who suggest that clearing cap for Panarin is easy. Yeah, maybe if you are okay with getting 50 cents on the dollar. Those people will be the first ones to complain that we didn't get enough for Kreider, Names, etc.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

RA from Chiclets had the scoop on Vesey first!

More like you find a bike, ride it for a few years then sell it to you for $20.

Rangers have the pieces for an Aho trade if they want it. Could they do it without giving up next year's 1st though? I'd throw an no protection 2021 1st in there without hesitation.

Here’s the one thing...aside from Lafreniere and Byfield, which prospect in the expected to be better than Aho? That’s where you table your conditional first. Aho easily fills the last hole this team needs to fill.

[haohmaru]

You have to know that Kakko and Kravtsov are taking someone’s job and other teams know it too. Underwhelming return but in the ballpark of what I thought he’d get.

 

[NYR94]

Vesey to Buffalo finally.

He wasn't worth more.

A dime a dozen 3rd liner with warts all over his game.

I'm a fan, but a spade is a spade.

 

[Black Aces]

Rather than sign Panarin, I'd much prefer we create a package and try to trade for Aho.

NHL net said Aho was asking for 8-9 AAV. Thats 2 firsts not 4.

Perfetti and the Swedish duo.

All probably gone within the top 5.

 

[NYR Viper]

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Personally was never very high on Jimmy Vesey. His hockey instincts/IQ were never quite sufficient to make him an effective player imo. Those attributes are hard for a player to change.

Ya we don’t have our 2nd or 3rd next year man

If they would take a top 3 protected 1st I would do it then. I'd even toss a sweetener in a pick if they don't get our 1st next year. How about a barely used 3rd 2021?

 

[will1066]

Bye Jimothy. It's too bad you couldn't mold your game to be a garbage man

 

[Ghost of jas]

Make it top-5 protected.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Carolina isn’t going to trade Aho

They were in the ECF last year, why move him?

The only way he moves is an offer sheet and they decide not to match. Which they won’t, cause why would they

They just mentioned that Aho at 10 mill with a signing bonus would eat up Carolina's entire gate receipts for a year.

 

[Thirty One]

Vesey trade isn't fair value because he was a college UFA. It's fair value because he isn't any good.

 

[Avery16]

He wasn't worth more.

A dime a dozen 3rd liner with warts all over his game.

I'm a fan, but a spade is a spade.

Cost controlled middle six player who was second in goals last season. Should have got a 2nd or at least a mid-level AHL prospect with the 3rd

 

[eco's bones]

Maybe the Rangers are upping the ante on Panarin. I don't think the Rangers intend to be quiet today--even if they don't get Panarin.
