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

[Turin]

People still don’t think Washington is better off than us?

I mean.. I don’t know. They certainly have more good players than they did before but they were trash last year and saved by their goalie performance, and Ovechkin will probably just get worse. No idea, they have serious question marks like PLD.

 

[Malkinstheman]

So apparently the Preds are trying to be Pittsburgh West. Not sure what their plan is signing a bunch of 34 year olds.

 

[HandshakeLine]

HFBoards servers being the worst as usual and X keeps logging me out. See you on the other side lads

Chychrun to Caps for Jensen and 3rd

Great deal for the Caps…they are running circles around us in their soft rebuild…much better GMing

 

[Malkinstheman]

Caps sign Matt Roy

Jensen was good for them.

Leafs OEL lmao they never learn..

 

[Dominance]

I’m not usually one to bitch and moan about the team during the minefield that is free agency, but seriously how the f*** is it possible that despite the teams being in similar points of their life cycles, Washington adds Dubois (whose suckage is incredibly overstated), Chychrun and Roy for basically nothing while we add the corpse of Kevin Hayes?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

When is Kyle’s presser?

 

[Deport Ogie]

Impossible to keep up with the stream. Amazing how many deals can get worked out in the 20 seconds immediately after noon.

I see lots of stupid stupid term.

 

[Gurglesons]

It's hilarrrrrious to see the cope from Penguins fans regarding the Capitals right now.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

When is Kyle’s presser?

Still gotta finalize the paperwork on that Wennberg 4yr, $20M deal. Then he'll be done.

 

[Turin]

Nashville trying to build through FA.

 

[SomeDude]

Washington is actually making a strong attempt at remaining competitive while still building for the future. It’s infuriating. Meanwhile Pens are worshipping a mediocre coach and letting Dubas play with gi joes all day.

 

[Deport Ogie]

Anyone who doesn't acknowledge they are lapping the Pens is unserious. It's not a high bar to clear, that being said. PLD is still a bad trade but other than that.

But at least we didn't give Brady Skjei 7 million AAV. Holy shit.

Deal was okay, Jensen is very good himself, and jakob hasn't been consistent really. PLD was a terrible trade too.

 

[TimmyD]

Arvidsson to Edmonton… cool cool cool

Washington hasn’t been a threat since 2019. Pens were actually good until 2022.

Also does Washington look like a contender with their roster to you? They don’t to me.

 

[SomeDude]

Nashville trying to build through FA.

Trotz has already exceeded life expectancy for a man born without a neck. He doesn’t give 2 craps how bad those contacts will be in 3 years.

 

[Turin]

Good move for Edmonton

What has washington done this offseason so far besides trading for expenisive big name players who aren't as good as their name power suggests. Chychrun might be the most overrated Dman in the world. Just because he can rip it on the PP people ignore his awful flaws lol.

I dont know how anyone can look at the Caps forward group and say there are even a playoff lock. Nice moves on D but that team still sucks

 

[Sideline]

Let's not lose sight of the Leafs giving OEL 4x3.5MM. Between him and Tanev they have already lost the offseason.

 

[SEALBound]

Damn...Arvidsson off the board.

Looks like a $4mil x 2yrs - that would have been perfect for us.

 

[Turin]

Yea.

They acquired an 8 mil player who doesn’t like playing hockey and I’m supposed to be jealous

 

[PensandCaps]

They should run it back with Zucker since he probably only gets 2-3 mil short term, need a LW anyway.
