GDT: Free Agency Frenzy - 2023 (12pm EST)

[bobbop]

Nice time for my Twitter feed to shut down…

 

[haohmaru]

So the Pacioretty salary + bonuses are 2M + 2M if he plays 20 games.

Yeah, we couldn't touch that.

 

[SA16]

Mackay played the last six weeks of the season in Arizona. He wasn’t terrible.

Mackey is absolutely terrible.

 

[NYR Viper]

The Wheeler signing is beyond amazing. I really think people are underrating the ability he has remaining in his game. Kaako will also learn a few things.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

If NYR sign Laf for $2.3M and Miller for $3.5M, there will be roughly $1.8M left for one more forward.

Kane?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Elon F'd Twitter

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

If someone tweets a signing and no one can read it, did it actually happen?

 

[Machinehead]

The problem isn't that Gallant tinkered with the lines. It's that he broke up good lines to keep going back to his security blanket lines that weren't effective.

Coaches have like 2-3 year windows and get fired like crazy. They're extremely blame-avoidant and always happy to say "well, the last guy did this..."

I hope Laviolette has the balls to mix it up.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I can tell you first hand that Sprong is not well liked anywhere he goes. Ask anyone who knows him

I know him. He's a great guy. We go apple picking every fall.

Kane?

That would be a terrible use of space.
Kane won’t be ready until January or so.

Reading between the lines i think Drury was frustrated with it all too, apparently him and Gallant never talked much after Christmas which is a terrible way to run a team.

Friedman said that Kane might wait to sign until hes healthy and see how good teams are at that point.

This is probably his best bet.

 

[ecemleafs]

gallant had no defensive system and his star players didnt show up in the playoffs.

This is probably his best bet.

also our best bet of signing him if we wish to do so.

Kane?

Would have more than $1.8 in space. I think we sign one of acciari or hathaway

I was by no means a Gallant fan, but its not Gallants fault that the star players didn’t show up, its the players fault. They showed up the year prior and I doubt Gallant did anything differently the second time around

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Early projection:

Kreider - Zibanejad - Kakko
Panarin - Trocheck - Wheeler
Lafreniere - Chytil - Othmann
Cuylle - Goodrow - Vesey
Pitlick


Lindgren-Fox
K'Andre-Trouba
Zac Jones-Schneider
Mackey-Harpur


Igor
Quick
Domingue

panarin sucked in back to back postseasons.

 

[NYR BHK]

Bonino for a year!

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

 

[RangersFan1994]

Bonino to Rangers

 

[irishlaxburger2]

Please trade Goodrow now

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I know Goodrow is better than Bonino and Pitlick, but with those guys and Othmann and Cuylle coming in on the bottom-six, there really is no room for him and his contract.

 

[nevesis]

Drury is a maniac today.

 

[zlev]

drury needs to sign some goddamn defensemen
