GDT: Free Agency Day - 7/13 @ 12pm EST

[GoAwayPanarin]

With Pacioretty + Coghlan going for futures I wonder what JTM trade value looks like. I mean he has a lower cap hit, but still.

Vancouver doesn’t have the same cap issues

 

[CLW]

I'd go

Kreider - Zib - Kravtsov
Panarin - Trochek - Blais
Laf - Chytil - Kakko

and give that "third" line a lot of minutes. Kravtsov is 23 in December, he's getting out of kid territory and *if* he has chemistry with Zib (like Laf and Kakko doesn't truly) it's a HUGE win for the Rangers.

Those lines are as good as it gets without square pegging anyone. We know Kreider and Zib don't really fit with either Laf or Kap, but the coaches will probably be tonedeaf and force that again because Kravvy has to uRn it or somesuch.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Wont be shocked if the Islanders and Devils go hard after Kadri

 

[Kravtsov420]

I agree with everything, but the very last sentence. I'll believe that part when I see it.

I hope things change that strome is gone* but who are we kidding, laf and Kakko aren’t getting on power play 1 and it’s year 3 and 4

 

[CLW]

Columbus comes out of nowhere unbelievable

Jarmo and JD doing good work.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Wait Johnny G in Columbus?! Hahahahahahaha.

 

[JimmyG89]

Fishies and Debbies are going to Fishies and Debbie.

An elite player decided to sign in COLUMBUS OHIO instead of your teams that are 30 minutes from NYC.

Poverty franchises.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Gaudreau going to Columbus is perfect. Didn’t want him on the Island or NJ. Columbus seems to be doing a good job rebuilding, I like Jarmo as their GM.

Plus it’s absolutely hilarious to have Islanders and Devils fans think they’re getting him and he chooses Columbus over both of them lmao

Wonder if the Islanders now go to Kadri and Devils go after JT Miller.

 

[bleedblue94]

Laine traded, kadri signs

e8

 

[Zynbanejad]

$9.8M for 7 years.

What happened to the 12M offer?

 

[Ola]

CBJ can become good sooner rather than later.

Very glad that Johnny isn’t going to NJ.

 

[mike14]

Hmm, wonder if the Isles or Devs roll the dice and pony up for Miller now that Johnny Hockey is gone?

 

[mas0764]

It’s going to come out just like Copp that Drury never made an offer to Strome. Book it.

Is that true, we never made an offer to Copp?

 

[bleedblue94]

Is that true, we never made an offer to Copp?

Yes, copp said so himself today

 

[Kravtsov420]

Don’t build an arena in f***ing Newark

 

[Machinehead]

Bah God King!

CBJ!!! FROM OUTTA NOWHHHHERE!!!!

 

[KennyWu]

Is that true, we never made an offer to Copp?

Yes, according to Copp

 

[RGY]

Lmao NJ and NYI

Ryan and Dylan Strome package deal to either?

 

[Machinehead]

 

[bleedblue94]

Literally will be the leftovers for whoever can't land a quality player.

 

[Bob Richards]

Bro looked at the Devils and Islanders and said f*** it I'm going to Ohio lmfao

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I'm sorry and I would never say this on the main board because I don't want to insult anyone, but there are several franchises that should be relocated and the Devils and Islanders are top-5 on that list. Just two completely pathetic franchises with small fanbases and no appeal.

 

[LOFIN]

Not only is this awesome because he's not going to debbies or islanders, but can't really think of a franchise in more need of a big free agent signing. Great job by Kekäläinen (and JD) and good for their fans. I wonder what this means for Laine but still, they got a hell of a player on a pretty damn good deal too. I thought it was sure to be over 10m.

Not a need for the isles, who have Barzal, Nelson and Pageau down the middle.

Devils theoretically could I guess.
