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

[Icarium]

Letting go of a good but flawed goalie for the sake of change and not caring about the alternatives is the kind of reactionary shit loser franchises like the Flyers do.

Yeah, the goalie carousel in Vegas really harmed the team last season... oh wait.

 

[canadianguy77]

I love the Eller deal

I do too.

It’s 2018 right?

 

[pensfan71]

I don't haaaate it, i think its mainly for defensive and PK purposes

 

[Jobeycool]

Karlson still is up in the air most likely now going to the Canes..

Vegas didn't do that based on choice, they did that out of necessity.

Why don't you go ask Montreal how losing Price impacted them?

 

[Malkinstheman]

How did Eller even get a 2.4m aav? Hes a guy you should get for like 900k

 

[wheelz87]

Just to go to bat for Emp even though we're at each others throats all the time (and disagree about Jarry), there are no final years. None of this shit really matters, man.

Unfortunately there’s too much optimism in me to give up. Prob just because it’s Sid and Geno and not two other random stars. True hockey gods we were blessed with. Does anyone in that locker room really believe in Jarry?

 

[Gurglesons]

It's fun watching the cement dry on the tomb for this franchise.

They probably make the playoffs again, because they had just about the worst season they could and still only managed to miss by a point, but making the playoffs ain't shit.

Would've rather they blew shit up than this, but it *is* entirely expected, after all. Ah well. Hopefully they can still swing some dumb bullshit like Petry+ for Karlsson cuz that'd be fun. Fun's all that matters anymore, cuz winning stopped being a thing after 2020.

There is no chance in hell this team makes the playoffs.

Eller will be your 3C and you’re gonna choke on it.

Geekie gets 2x2 and we're signing Eller for 2.4? I would've rather pitched that money towards bringing E-rod back.

Pain

100%. We likely pay to ditch Granlund or an RFA takes us to arb and we buy him out.

Just be patient. He's building a barn and I'm overreacting and deserved to be ignored.

Wanna do a friendly wager? Loser leaves HFB?

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Should have just re-signed Bones

 

[Dick Sledge]

Should have just re-signed Bones

Can he even put one skate in front of the other anymore?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Been okay with all the moves so far but Eller is head scratching. Id rather have Bones or anyone else

 

[Icarium]

Vegas didn't do that based on choice, they did that out of necessity.

They got rid of MAF which eventually led to the carousel but lo and behold they found no name goalie to do the job rather than put their hands up and say there are no alternatives.

 

[Jobeycool]

Should have just re-signed Bones

He is so washed up..

 

[canadianguy77]

Sullivan and his vaunted PK. Build your team around the PK and hope the rest falls into place. Exactly what you’d expect from a HC who made his living penalty killing.

That's Lou not Dubas

That sounds like a prize for the winner

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Don't hate it as long as Carter, Granlund, Petry, and CDS get moved out and we add EK. But standalone it's not looking good.

 

[Borgir]

Rainy day in Edmonton, hung around pens hf boards for meltdowns and over reactions,, 10/10, did not disappoint, would do it again.

 

[Empoleon8771]

They got rid of MAF which eventually led to the carousel but lo and behold they found no name goalie to do the job rather than put their hands up and say there are no alternatives.

They got rid of Fleury because they had Lehner, who was also an established starter. They only got Hill because of injuries to Lehner, and Hill only got to play because of injuries to Thompson.

Again, go ask Montreal how replacing Price with Allen has gone for them.

 

[wheelz87]

Wtf we have literally zero cap space to be doing this stuff
