GDT: Free Agent Frenzy/2013 Offseason Thread: Part VII: OMGZZZ SATHER DO SOMETHING

[I Eat Crow]

Does Sather go after David Clarkson?

If the Rangers don't have money for Clowe they definitely don't for Clarkson. Even if we had the money, I wouldn't pay him $5 million plus to be on our third line.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I really hate keeping Richards right now. We could be going after multiple guys, such as Grabo, Clarkson, Raymond, etc...

You want to go after David Clarkson, who is asking for north of $6M over 7 years?

ok.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Long term what they're doing is fine, but if they're counting on Steve Mason and the defense they have now without trading Schenn, Couturier, or Voracek for a defenseman they're not in a good position for the next couple years at all.

Agreed 100% with this. I don't get it at all.

Huge trade in the works. Boston and Dallas close on a deal sending Tyler Seguin to Stars for Loui Eriksson. Other parts involved as well.

 

[Clowes Line]

Great Boston is now the best team in the East if they weren't already.

 

[Emptyvoid]

Wow that's a huge trade.

 

[Burlington Bomb 26]

Great Boston is now the best team in the East if they weren't already.

How is that?

Seguin has gotten underrated very quickly. Boston already lost Horton as well. Seguin and Horton >>> Loui Eriksson

Tell me a team in the East (or the NHL for that matter) that is more rounded, from the net on out. That team has so much depth it's insane. And I'm sure they can find a way to replace Horton. Free Agency hasn't even started yet.

Meh. They definitely are one of the more rounded teams in the league, but to say that after a Seguin for Eriksson trade that they are "easily" the best team in the east is a bit hyperbole. Seguin was one of there best players in the Finals series. Who the hell are they going to replace Horton with? Hes the best FA Available. Jagr? Clowe? Clarkson? C'mon.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Jesus, are Pittsburgh and Philly going to be able to ice complete teams after next season?

They didn't during their play-off battle last year due to other reasons, so I don't think they'd have a problem with starting games with 14 players haha

Seguin wasn't producing enough. Eriksson is an excellent, developed two-way forward that produces on both ends of the rink. Seguin was way too inconsistent. So they lost Horton. They'll replace him. They'll be fine.

We will know for sure once all of the pieces of the trade are known, but Jim Nil getting right to work.

The Bruins save a million and a half in cap space, substituting Eriksson for Seguin.

 

[slipknottin]

Seguin also wanted to play center. Wouldn't be surprised if he was 2c for dallas

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Seguin/Benn/Eakin

Great 1-2-3 punch down the middle.

NJ and Montreal were among several suitors for Ryane Clowe. Told Habs are out now. Devils very interested in Clowe.

 

[Kershaw]

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod
As @DarrenDreger first broke, Bruins/Stars have monster trade involving Seguin, Eriksson & more. Told players are being notified now.

 

[Kershaw]

Seguin/Benn/Eakin

Great 1-2-3 punch down the middle.

Like that GM Jim Nil is emphasizing depth down the middle. I think he's going to be one of the best GMs in a few years time.

Go Devils

 

[Kershaw]

But jeez, Eriksson-Bergeron-Marchand is right up there for best lines in the league.

Trade is bigger than Seguin for Eriksson. Draft picks to Boston? Prospects? Working on details.

 

[Leetch3]

if clowe signs with nj you just know he'll never get another concussion and shove it up our rears
