GDT: Free Agency Frenzy July 1st @ 12pm ET (Apparently it's not 12pm)

[NYR Viper]

I said this days ago, teams will come up dry in UFA and trade for Trouba. It's coming.

I wonder if Drury and his team asked Walker to keep it quiet until that trade is made

Decent deal for both sides

 

[McRanger92]

Is there a compliance buyout coming for each team that we are not aware of?

I would have traded chytil and signed him. He would've taken less here plus he's much better now than he was with the devils..

 

[B17 Apricots]

So lets look at this again:

Detroit hasn't signed anyone on defense, still need help...

Buffalo still needs help at RD

Nashville re-signed Carrier and signed Skjei but still needs help at RD and just signed Trouba's BFF.

Dont forget Dallas. Didn't they let Nils walk? They lost out on Tanev too, no? Dallas literally doesn't have any RHD

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Decent deal for both sides

How is that good for Vancouver? Dude is wildly inconsistent. I can't imagine paying him $5.5 over 7 years.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

What is left for us to do? Sign bottom lineup guys like duhaime and hope we are just as good as a last year. We are in some deep doodie

 

[EdJovanovski]

What on Earth is Drury doing? Have to think there’s some big trade, shocking seeing a ECF team with cap space for this season doing absolutely nothing
Chytil, Kakko for Zegras

 

[DanielBrassard]

Trouba at 2x8 should bring back a 1st with these contracts being handed out lol.

 

[effen]

Decent deal for both sides

Jake DeBrusk is like if Tyler Toffoli was worse at everything he did. I guess he's a little faster? He sucks.

Have a feeling that this is indeed the plan

As long as the plan isn’t to go into the season and address the big needs at the deadline

We’ve done that shit 3 straight years and it hasn’t worked. The teams the win make small changes at the edge and build the team in the summer

Hoestly if Drury finds a way to trade Trouba and we sign someone like Walker and stay away from all this other madness this day was a big win.

Doesn’t Buffalo have like 31 million in cap space? They’ll need to get to the cap floor at this rate.

The wait for the trade deadline posts are already starting.

We need to find a real winger for Mika and Kreider. Literally can wait until the deadline to do this.

Running it back is fine as long as we look different post-deadline.

sorry if i'm breaking rules here but this is dumb as hell.

every year we hemorrhage assets at the deadline when we could have fixed it NOW for just cap space
[/QUOTE]

You realize there's a way to say this without being an asshole, right?

And it's not JUST CAP SPACE. It's cap space we critically need to re-sign our players next off-season.

These deals are out of control today. They would all significantly hamstring us in future years.

Sit out of this shit show. None of this will age well.

No move is a massive move.

 

[TheBPA]

Most of these contracts are...bad.

Duhaime

2 years @ $1.85m

He's a PIA

What team?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

At this point if you can get skinner on a 2 year cheap deal or something like that it is better than sacrificing the future

This should get them to the cusp of the second round.

 

[McRanger92]

Pinto looking for a 1st/3rd offer sheet. Im into that.

Vladdy Tarasenko reunion coming?
