Speculation: Free Agency Thread

[Blanick]

Ok 5yrs/6M. That makes it a little more understandable. Schwartzy is going to get 6M, there was no way we could give Backes 6 as well.

I am truly sad though. I am going to really miss Backes.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

There goes Okposo.

What is happening

 

[Freyj]

Okposo gone to BUF, 7Mx6

 

[Dbrownss]

Ahhhhhh!!!!! KILL ARMY...Oh wait...it was a mistake? Oh 5yrs....good move army. Love this board

 

[Edgar Carrow]

Brouwer to the Flames.



4x4.5

 

[Old Blueser]

Wow, what a tire fire, borderline playoff team now. This management team is so ****ing conservative. (And wasn't Perron a wash playing 'Hitch hockey'?

 

[Oberyn]

Is Boedker the only top six winger left?

 

[illininer]

Well so much for my Brouwer thoughts

 

[Dbrownss]

All of the big names got big contracts. Glad the Blues stayed away

 

[542365]

Wouldn't want the Brouwer or Backes contract on my team. Not upset at all they're elsewhere.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

We absolutely are. Backes got $30m over 5 years. I'm fine that we walked away from that.

Eriksson got 6 years at $6m from Vancouver.

Which makes no sense. They balked at giving Eriksson 6 years but were happy to give Backes 5. Sweeney is a lunatic.

 

[Alklha]

Is Boedker the only top six winger left?

I think so, and I doubt we are in that race considering we have added Perron.

Glad we've stayed away from Backes, Brouwer, Eriksson, Ladd and Okposo so far.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

We absolutely are. Backes got $30m over 5 years. I'm fine that we walked away from that.

Eriksson got 6 years at $6m from Vancouver.

Ha no chance

 

[Edgar Carrow]

E. Staal to Minnesota.

 

[LGB51]

We are so much worse this coming season, and it seems like the wheels are coming off, are we gonna even have any pieces to trade for a decent rebuild.

 

[542365]

Wow I was way off on Eric Staal. 3 years at 3.5M to Minnesota is a great deal for them. I was certain he was still convinced he should make like 5M.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I'd be surprised if we sign anyone else tbh

 

[Freyj]

Which makes no sense. They balked at giving Eriksson 6 years but were happy to give Backes 5. Sweeney is a lunatic.

They really need a Center for some reason to offset a future trade?

 

[Alklha]

There is always hope in the Shattenkirk trade .

 

[Edgar Carrow]

 

[Old Blueser]

Why bring hitch back to punt the season like this? There's no one else left for us to sign, so even if we make a 'hockey trade' with Shatty, we will almost certainly be a much worse team next year.

 

[Oberyn]

Looks like we got Carter Hutton.

 

[KingBran]

So we got a year of Brouwer for Oshie.

...Fantastic.

 

[Blanick]

We just signed Hutton as a backup goaltender. Sigh

Mark this day down. It is the day that the St. Louis Blues rebuild/retool begins.

 

[Freyj]

There is always hope in the Shattenkirk trade .

"that boy is our last hope"
