GDT: Free agency madness, brought to you by the letter G

Apparently Burns’ wife and kid are unvaxed?

Whoops.

Like, did you hear this was almost a done deal or was this just speculation on your source's part?

 

[Silencio]

I predict when Dubas signs Chris Tierney HF will crash

Was just gonna say, I'm actually morbidly curious to see where Tierney ends up

 

[Sens Vader]

Weegar Burns or Chychrun today

Cmon babyy

 

[2CHAINZ]

Apparently Burns’ wife and kid are unvaxed?

Whoops.

Is that seriously a problem today ? I thought anyone not boosted is unvaxxed now ?

I don’t know - everything I hear I post.

I’m pretty sure I don’t hear a lot of great detail so that things can’t be tracked back.

 

[milkbag]

Scratch Manson off the list

 

[Icelevel]

Weegar Burns or Chychrun today

Cmon babyy

All 3 decent of course but burns is the only one that I wouldn’t worry about failing here. If he wants to come here make it happen.

Trading for Burns gives me Toronto going for Giordano, Spezza and Thornton vibes. Over the hill and over paid.

If SJS take back Zaitsev (4.5M x 2 years) and retains 1.5- 2M on Burns (6-6.5M x 3 years), it would be more easy to swallow. I'd do that straight up, even without a sweetener on their end.

Probably Arizona on a 2x3.5M he’s the perfect non factor place holder on a shitty team.

Me as well so I can laugh at them and read their GDT's

 

[NyQuil]

That Campbell deal to Edmonton looks terrible.

5 years at 5M?

Based on what? 9 months of good goaltending?

It’s Nurse all over again.

 

[PatrickEaves]

He's going to NYI, I'm guessing.

 

[kellmuff96]

Probably Europe. He's not an NHLer at this point. LOL at any GM that signs him

 

[xVolchenkov]

Zero interest in Burns personally.

 

[Emerica]

Zero interest in Burns personally.

Same

 

[h2]

How are done deals completed before the market opens? Is it just secret tampering?

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

All the additions combined won't equal the euphoria of subtracting Zaitsev and Tierney

 

[camZ]

Sounds like burns to Carolina is very close

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Apparently Carolina is close to trading for Burns via LaBrun

 

[LevelingSolo]

Burns to Carolina per Lebrun

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Trading for Burns gives me Toronto going for Giordano, Spezza and Thornton vibes. Over the hill and over paid.

In what world were Giordano and Spezza overpaid in Toronto? If anything they were vastly underpaid for what they brought.

 

[Alfie11]

It’s Nurse all over again.

Oilers and Leafs both gambling on goalies in prime contention years.

I guess for the Oilers it was pretty tough to do worse. Anybody would be better than what they have, even if Campbell disapoints.

 

[edguy]

Sounds like burns to Carolina is very close

Thats a relief for me. Like the player, money didnt make sense for Sens

 

[Silky Johnson]

I'm not a size queen by any means, but my god do the Devils ever have a tiny forward group going forward:

Hughes: 6'1, 175lbs
Mercer: 6'0, 180lbs
Holtz: 6'0, 192lbs
Hughes: 5'11, 175lbs
Bratt: 5'10, 175lbs
Gaudreau: 5'9, 165lbs

And most of those numbers and inflated too

I like our top six against that in a playoff series. Turn those smurfs into a blue paste.
