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

It’s a deadline price but you get him for the entire season.

 

[GAGLine]

That's an overpayment.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

We still have 2nds to trade?

 

[NYR Viper]

Who needs draft picks!?!

 

[hardnosed]

Gus and Trouba was our 3rd pair. Might be 2nd pair in Detroit.

 

[GAGLine]

That will be 4 consecutive years without a 2nd round pick.

Something about this core just feels off to me. I don't know what it is exactly or how to fix it. I hope Drury has an idea of how to fix it. I don't think committing to some of these contracts, right now, would be the right play. I'd like to see more shipped out.

I agree with this. When push comes to shove....it makes no sense to keep changing personnel around this core in hopes of winning -- especially when it's the same core personnel who disappear in the playoffs year after year.

 

[Circus86]

2nd? Thats way too much

 

[MrAlmost]

So...on the day where you can get anyone for free and just cap, we got 33yr old Smith for a 2nd? Retention?

 

[AirGut]

holy f***ing yawn

[AlaBlueShirt]

Winner mentality. Keep your firsts only.

I can live with this. RIP every draft pick for an eternity.

 

[Ruggs225]

Drury should never be allowed to make a trade.

We need a second GM.

The new GM is responsible for all trades and FA signings.
Drury is responsible for drafting (which he has been very good at).

 

[noncents]

sick of trading 2nds. really f***ing sick of it.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Whoops! There goes another second round...
Whoops! There goes another second round...
Whoops! There goes another second round pick.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Basically a deadline deal. I’m not thrilled with it but it’s not the worst. Better than giving up a 2nd for shitty Wennberg.

 

[McRanger92]

I really think we shouldve held on to that pick in the 60s thats a year away

Rangers going to recoup picks when they trade Trouba and Lindy as well.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

tidy bit of work for Pittsburgh

Got a year out of him and turned their 3rd round pick into a 2nd and 5th

 

[AirGut]

please don't tell me Smith is being penciled in as our #1RW

 

[Charlie Conway]

No one else at the moment...

 

[Daves a mess]

2nd round pics did something to Chris Drurys family.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

please don't tell me Smith is being penciled in as our #1RW

You know he his. Zib should I be thrilled

 

[Circus86]

please don't tell me Smith is being penciled in as our #1RW

Its him or KK.

 

[McRanger92]

please don't tell me Smith is being penciled in as our #1RW

That would be Alexis Lafreniere actually, perhaps youve heard of him?
