GDT: Free Agency/Offseason 2013

[Jackets16]

Given that that's how it's worked before...

* * *​

Erixon and Savard remain in the system, and there's any number of decent bottom-pairing guys out there to grab Just In Case.

"Counting on" Prout and Murray only comes up if we do move Nikitin. The top 4 is still JMFJ, Tyutin, Wiz, and Nikitin.

I mean they are already in our top 7 when I say we are counting on them. We have almost no depth on defense if we trade one of our top 7.

Don't forget that Prout is amazing.

Stalberg is this years Dineen for Porty

Man, did Nashville get better today. #Preds

 

[DJA]

Stalberg is OK, but I don't see anything else they've done that makes me say they "got better" today. They still won't be able to score.

I'm just glad he didn't follow us East. I'm tired of us padding his stats.

 

[CBJSlash]

I'm not sure how much of it will count, but Horton could be LTIR.

#RedWings have too many fwds & will need to trade a couple. Abdelkader would be an interesting fit for #CBJ & cap hit fits at $1.8 million


Thoughts?

"Interesting" as in the CBJ need a terrible-at-hockey-and-takes-stupid-penalties Dorsett replacement?

 

[DJA]

Filppula to TB, 5 years/$5 million per year.

I'm glad we got Horton.

I seriously said the same thing to my Dad.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Cripes. I said earlier I'd take Horton at 6 vs VF at 5.

To the other topic at hand, my thought is: Abdelkader is a fun name to say.

Love it

 

[NotWendell]

You knew this was coming, so let's get it out of the way. If we're going to throw money at another forward, just bring Vinny back for another year.

Yes please!!

Sens traded for Bobby Ryan

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 31s

As per @DarrenDreger, Bobby Ryan to the Ottawa Senators for Silverberg, Noesen and a 1st rd pick

 

[Jackets16]

Sens traded for Bobby Ryan

Big trade. I like it for both teams. I have always wanted the Blue Jackets to trade for Ryan.

Yeah, would have liked him on the CBJ. Happy for Ottawa though after the gut punch of Alfredsson leaving.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Love the deal for both

I mean they are already in our top 7 when I say we are counting on them. We have almost no depth on defense if we trade one of our top 7.

Assuming Golobef and Savard are re-signed...

James Wisniewski ($5.500m) / Fedor Tyutin ($4.500m)
Jack Johnson ($4.357m) / Dalton Prout ($0.667m)
Nikita Nikitin ($2.150m) / Ryan Murray ($3,494m)
7. Tim Erixon ($1.750m)
8. Golobef
9. Melart
10. Savard

 

[major major]

It looks like the Red Wings are the big winners adding Alfie and Weiss. I could care less for Filppula.

I think they end up losing more to free agency than they gain.

 

[donniedarko]

The TSN reporters can really suck it....they obviously know nothing about Columbus.

Edit...so they say we are the woods and all good hockey players should play in big markets, and that we have no one for Horton to play with...

Gaborik begs to differ.
