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

[Turin]

Exactly. People will be complaining about him by January. Same crowd criticizing my takes said Jeff Carter was fair value and a great signing now bitch about him every day exactly as I predicted.

f***ing lol, St. Louis signed Malcolm Subban?

 

[TimmyD]

I just don’t get complaining about the roster when it’s not even finished and set yet. I mean there are still some good FA options out there to look at. Still some guys on the trade block to look at. Like yeah if the Penguins go into the season and only add Reilly smith then shit on Dubas all you want, I’ll be right there with you. But it’s the first day of free agency. For example people are mad about not getting Miles Wood… Colorado gave him a 6 year deal… 6 freaking years for Miles Wood

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Maybe the hold up is this deal and we can get rid of 2 of 3 contracts (Granlund, Carter, or Petry) interesting how this all plays out.

huuh??

What the rockets red glare f***?

 

[HandshakeLine]

Like say what you will about Jarry, but he's better than Malcolm f***ing Subban.

 

[TimmyD]

Why are we waiting on Jarry? We could’ve signed Brossoint and some other goalie…anything we sign would be the equivalent

I don’t believe they are waiting on Jarry

 

[WickedWrister]

Remember when we gave Tanev a 6 year deal?

 

[HandshakeLine]

And the Wood deal, well, that's free agency folks. It's always dumb, this is why we don't want to build or tweak through it unless we have to.

 

[DRAGO 18]

Six years

 

[farscape1]

Cant wait for either Sid or Geno to get hurt and Granlund is your 2C

 

[Andy99]

I don’t believe they are waiting on Jarry

Well they’re doing nothing about the goaltending which leads me to think they’re working on a contract w his agent

 

[Malkinstheman]

I bet its the Tanev/Goodrow special. 3.5 x 6

Avs signing Wood for six years is bizarre given his public analytic model. Must have internal stuff that shows he’s good but he’s a huge injury risk.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Exactly. People will be complaining about him by January. Same crowd criticizing my takes said Jeff Carter was fair value and a great signing now bitch about him every day exactly as I predicted.

I think the team failing to provide the real talent to surround guys like Carter/Granlund is the issue.

They make a move and full on stop and not complete the transformation.

[Turin]

Man that Duchene deal should be investigated.

 

[Jobeycool]

If you signed Bergeron, Karlson, for 600 k... they all would complain..

So Sid and Sullivan are GMing this team?

 

[molon labe]

We hated Carter over the last 15 months... yet people wanted a SLOWER (yes, SLOWER, all caps) O'Reilly to be 3C?

Everyone hated Archibald (for some reason) now we somehow missed out.

Tanev was signed for too much for too long but the bottom 6 talent drying up is somehow setting some britches afire here lately. I'd rather not lock anything in the bottom 6 for more than a year or 2... that should almost always be a revolving door with few exceptions (and the contracts we've seen don't seem to be exception worthy imo).
