GDT: Free Agency Day! Wednesday July 13th 2022 Noon

[Habsawce]

I’m happy for them, CBJ gets no one

They've spent almost their entirety in the NHL playing a boring ass style of hockey, with incredible fans watching. Not sure they really deserve to sign big UFA's with how they played, same as what we've had to endure.

Good for them though, I agree. No slight really, Columbus isn't too bad, Buckeyes are there. Good sports town.

I guess really it's just a bit shocking that he went there when they aren't even remotely close to competing for a cup.

There were NJ-MTL trade talk rumors?

There’s an assumption because Fitzgerald and Hughes both delayed there press conferences

 

[Runner77]

Nemec to MTL

Has a draftee ever been flipped within the month of a draft?

 

[NORiculous]

Well… Cal just got a lot worse.

 

[Sterling Archer]

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Has a draftee ever been flipped within the month of a draft?

Last I remember is Pateryn and before that Redden for Beard

 

[waffledave]

Backwards to you, maybe it’s what he wants , I’m from Halifax and have lived in mtl and Toronto and every once in a while I get pangs to go home but don’t tell me folks from Toronto and mtl would totally understand if I gave up my career to do it

The guy isn't from Ohio.

Geezus, Chiarot got $4.75m! Holy f***!

A lot of these contracts are ridiculous.

I adore Lehkonen, but $4.5m?

Also, Vegas gave Pacioretty away! Holy shit! They gave up Suzuki to get him!

I'd still rather Lehkonen @ 4.5m X 5 than the 4.75m x 4 the Nucks paid for Mikheyev.

Don’t forget what they gave up for Tatar

Krebs
Glass
Suzuki
Brannstrom

ALL GONE!!!

The guy isn't from Ohio.

I can pay $200 to get my parents on a 1hr flight and a $10k to get them a charter

 

[Habs13]

Vegas is being managed as if it was an NHL game...

...yet there still not as bad as Chicago!

 

[yianik]

He's a short 7hr drive away from his family now vs 37 hours.

He probably could afford the plane ticket. But fly in coach.

Twist: Dad is a huge Buckeyes fan and Johnny got him season tickets and they move to Columbus and mom makes him pre game meals and he scores 180 points.

 

[sandviper]

I remember arguing that the way the Knights were trying to win was not sustainable...what a mess

So basically, to get Patches, they gave up Suzuki, a second and Tuna who had cost them a pick in each of the first three rounds.

I dunno what future considerations may be but I doubt it’s worth basically two first rounders, two seconds and a third rounder.

 

[Belial]

...yet there still not as bad as Chicago!

Toews declining suddenly is a big reason why that team crumbled.

 

[c3z4r]

Still can't believe Carolina got Pacioretty for future considerations. It's such an incredibly one-sided trade it makes you wonder if Vegas is being blackmailed.

For all his faults, mostly being injury prone lately, Pacioretty is still a legit top winger in the league.


Edit: and as if that's not enough, they also gave a 24 year-old Dman that has top4 potential.

Chicago can't hear you, because their Stanley Cup rings are plugging their ears.....

Ok? Same is true for large parts of the US. Ohio is one of the last places in the US I'd ever want to live. Trust me, I have to go often for work. It's an armpit.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nino is still available. Would be interesting, but likely looking at a deal around 5

 

[larrymoeschemp]

So are the habs gonna do anything this summer? And I mean significant, not Madison Bowey

 

[Kojo]

There were NJ-MTL trade talk rumors?

Someone said it was a rumor.

Has a draftee ever been flipped within the month of a draft?

That scares me. Nemec, 1st round pick for Caufield and Petry... I wouldn't do it.

Detroit is a shit hole, but where pro athletes live is fantastic. I assume, any NHL team in a rough city is the same. They don't live like the rest of us lol.

Pacman become injury prone....check out his last 2 seasons .....Vegas got tired of it ....

Ufa day went from boring af to weird to political (at about a tik tok level). Will read the morning news
