GDT: Free Agency: Dr Strangedubas or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nerd

[Ugene Magic]

Makes sense. Closer to his fam.

It's like twice the distance.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

So basically just under two hours from now?

 

[eXile3]

Zucker at 1 year should have been a no brainer for us. I assume Dubas has a plan and is sticking to it.

 

[Pens x]

Sorry everyone, I slept in.

 

[SEALBound]

Thankfully we got Smith but damn we are in need of some 3rd line players and a lot of good options are now gone.

I have confidence but Dubas better get on it. Remember 2012 / 2013 with Parise and Suter? Shero went all in and by the time he was finally told no, there was no one worthwhile to sign.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Why is that funny?

Because I can see people thinking it means that he’s already done

 

[Dominance]

Idk. Karlsson would be a cool swing-for-the-fences move at the end of our competitive window. But it doesn’t mean jack when we have no bottom-6 or goalie.

Just look at our division rivals the Canes. They already lapped us on depth and now they snagged Orlov and Bunting on extremely fair contracts with minimal term.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

I hope we at least grab Wood.

Zucker will be missed, good for him. Didn't think he would go to Arz but don't expect to him to be there after TDL. Free picks for Ariz

Who's left. Get Tank

isn't wood gone?

 

[Andy99]

Lol…so I guess we’re done for today

 

[HandshakeLine]

It's like twice the distance.

He's really into authentic New Mexican green chili but you just can't get good hatch chiles outside of New Mexico.

 

[Gurglesons]

It's like twice the distance.

He has family also in Santa Monica and Vegas to my understanding.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I hope we at least grab Wood.

Wood signed with the Avalanche

 

[Empoleon8771]

Idk I absolutely would not have paid Zucker $5.3 million to come back.

I don't care if it was only 1 year, that's way too much for what he'll realistically provide next year.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

To think the Pens are division rivals with the Canes is being extremely generous to the Pens, and quite frankly, a bit offensive to Carolina.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I hope we at least grab Wood.

Pretty good chance you’ll be able to in here if we sign EK

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I’ll tell my kids this is Letang

 

[HandshakeLine]

Good, f*** 'em.

 

[Ryder71]

Because I can see people thinking it means that he’s already done

No one thinks that.

 

[Pens x]

Get rid of Petry for EK and get back John Marino somehow

I want the full Pixies meltdown.

He will like him again if he’s on the team.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Zucker signing for one year is weird to me until you look at the team in question.

Best of luck to him. I'd have liked him back honestly at such a low risk but with the roster how it is I have no idea where you really fit him in with the gigantic swarm of middle six forwards they've now collected.

 

[Ugene Magic]

He has family also in Santa Monica and Vegas to my understanding.

Gotcha, I thought you meant his family home in Minny.

 

[Dominance]

Everyone of any note is gone.

Karlsson provides a big offense boost…but so would have going hard on Duchene and ROR and running this top-nine:

Guentzel-Crosby-Smith
Duchene-Malkin-Rust
Rakell-ROR-Granlund

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Zucker at 1 year should have been a no brainer for us. I assume Dubas has a plan and is sticking to it.

I think there's good odds that Smith will outplay Zucker even if both are healthy. Can't have both.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

No one thinks that.
