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

[HandshakeLine]

One the one hand, no bad deals so far.

On the other hand, our one deal is the complete definition of "okay, so now what?"

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.

Feels like he's just gonna collect some points then be dealt at 50% retained to a contender for the playoffs.

I would have thought we had signed one of the younger buy low candidates by now. Comtois, steele etc

 

[HandshakeLine]

Feels like he's just gonna collect some points then be dealt at 50% retained to a contender for the playoffs.

Which is probably exactly the best he can hope for.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Dude would get rocked by a defenseman and be too scared to stand there again, not happening

Yet he's been doing it, like forever.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

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

Think Duchene just wanted a contender at this point, after losing so much. We had no chance.

No thanks, but no one with a brain thinks that, or at least a brain that is reasonably functional.

isn't wood gone?

I guess so. Missed it, great add for them

They probably didn't want to sign him longer than the franchise might exist.

OK that was a little mean.

Kerfoot, Sundqvist, Erod, Hathaway, Acciari, Engvall all still out there and teams have already blown a ton of their cap space. Not too worried about getting some good, cheap depth

He signed for one year. We could have given him another mil and top-6 minutes with Malkin or Crosby.

i'm not one to say this usually, but based on this man's profile, imma go head and say he's not a reliable source of information

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Entertainment quality is about to go up. That was a core complaint from many here last year. So there's that.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Get rid of Granlund and Petry in a three team deal for Karlsson and I'm fine with whatever. Team won't be any good, but they'll be fun.

Yeah, well, Dubas better get on that because we need four of them to ice a team.

if Twitter worked I could've done that research myself but here we are, can only view specific tweets

Wrong, Guenztel is the net front presence. He has been on the wall with us

It's the REAL Max Miller. Like the ACTUAL guy, dude. Show some respect.

Yeah but Dallas can win the Cup in 2024 and we can't.

He's the REAL Max Miller, though.

Ya know... THE Max Miller?

EDIT: Shit... beaten to it

Although Lou could’ve already signed some of these guys and we won’t know about it until Christmas
