GDT: Free Agency Day 1: You're from Boston? Come on down

It blows my mind that this website has sponsors who pay the website to be as dogshit as it is.

This is literally the only website I know of that shits itself with even a slight increase in user traffic.

Small: check
Not physical: check
Can PK and not provide any offense: : check

Perfect Pens player under Sullivan

From MA: Check

Stamkos without a cross ice playmaking wizard is going to be different…

Also yuck to him in mustard

I'm certainly not expecting 40g but him with ROR and Forsberg will still be a really good line.

Him with Josi as well on the PP will be really good.

Toffoli to SJ is bizarre to me...dude must be getting paid.

I imagine Kase and Beauvillier are vying for the same spot, so they'd sign one or the other.

We've got a pass-first forward in Hayes we could send off for the right price, lol.

The thousands of advertising hits don't help. The sponsors don't feel those.

I think people need to realize the uproar about signing a guy like Beauvillier or Grzelcyk is two fold. One they aren’t guys that need signed on day 1 of free agency. They aren’t going to get swept up by another team today. Also when it comes to Beauvillier I keep seeing people say he will be scratched if he’s bad… no… no he won’t… he’s the exact type of player Sully loves and he will absolutely be a staple in this lineup

 

[SEALBound]

I think Kase is done. WAY too many injuries for him to be a viable player. If it's truly between him and AB...sign both. Because I think you're only getting 30 games (if that) from him.

Stylistically, I like him though.

Yeah if he can stay healthy, I’d be okay with Kase. Definitely better than Beau IMO.

 

[SEALBound]

Marchy to Smashville too. Damn they are building a likable team.

You don't need to sign both because they're just battling it out with Puustinen for the 3RW spot, you just need one of them.

Yep…there’s absolutely no rush to sign these guys…I don’t get it…none of them are good..again, why circulate that you want young hungry players and want competition among the young guys you a,ready have for spots, and then sign worthless crap in FA…total contradiction lol

I dunno, Emp. I would rather argue that we don't need either of them.

 

[Andy99]

Why not let Pomo, Kovainen, Poulin, PoolParty etc vie for that spot?

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Part of it

It's a pretty dogshit plan, if that's it.

 

[Ugene Magic]

The Pens need to do a trade to get their new LW for Crosby.

 

[Gurglesons]

Getting young and hungry by adding a 28 year old Kase one hit away from dying on the ice.

Actually… you don’t need either of them

 

[SEALBound]

Fair. And honestly, Poulin, Koivunen, Pono, etc should be getting the next chance.

Big Jeff Skinner!

Koivunen is not NHL ready from what I can tell. Neither Poulin nor Puljujarvi are good enough to be in that role.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Ondrej Kase would be a good get if this was still 2017.

Orrrrrrrrr…. Sign neither

 

[HandshakeLine]

The thing is, unless a bottom 6 guy has some insane skill that we lack, we could easily scoop a guy to fill that 3/4 RW position during the season or in camp or off the waiver wire or whatever. I really don't see the point in adding any free agents there at all.

 

[Ryder71]

Koivunen might be a year away. Pono if healthy should make it.
