GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[Leaf Rocket]

Halak to Rangers.

Good back up for Shesty

 

[cyris]

Yikes. I don’t like what Detroit has done today but fully admit Stevie Y knows a hell of a lot more than I do.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Ouch

​

Ilya Mikheyev is heading to Vancouver.
According to his agent Dan Milstein, Mikheyev is signing a four-year, $19 million deal that carries an AAV of $4.75 million

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Ya 2.64 million retained for the next 3 years isn't ideal for SJ

Grier has a big mess to navigate through...I mean...they still have karlsson O_O

Sounds a lot like Ilya Lybushkin

Except for the defending part. He was clearly out of his element on the top 2 pairs.

 

[Stephen]

I thought they wanted to clean up their cap structure? At that price just keep JT Miller for $10 million…

Yup, can't believe they got out of Burns though. Thought that was unmoveable

 

[Trapper]

Good back up for Shesty

Would have preferred Halak as the backup to Murray. He’s still solid.

 

[ER89]

Good back up for Shesty

Great move

 

[ToneDog]

Kubel is a Kase replacement.

Now we need a Mikehyev and Spezza replacement.

Malgin could be an option on RW if Simmonds is not.

Prolly be competitive and a pain in the ass while not being the best and draft out of their mind for the next little while. If I were them looking at trades more for skill +

Jeez... loved Mik, but again, that's a solid no.

This is why we can never trade the rights and get a draft pick. Acquiring team just say "f.... that, we will grossly overpay give stupid term and get him, no worries man."

 

[BTP]

We are?

losing Boosh, Micky and Soup makes us ... better?

Yes, we are.

 

[OVO16]

Malgin could be an option on RW if Simmonds is not.

Softttttt

 

[Fogelhund]

Team still lacks toughness.

Need to add Deslauriers or ZAR. And Possibly Gubrandson on the back end

At this point, it might be best to sit and see who is left sitting after a few days, to not massively overpay like others are today.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Halak is a good signing, he won't play much, so he won't be over-extended. He can give them 20 really good games.

 

[Cleetus]

Yup, can't believe they got out of Burns though. Thought that was unmoveable

I honestly thought they would be stuck with him, curious how he plays in Carolina

 

[TMLeafer]

Would have preferred Halak as the backup to Murray. He’s still solid.

He's been around forever too

 

[kb]

YIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKES.

Good for him but that's a dodged bullet.

Absolutely. But you will hear people moan that they well miss his hits, even though it's really the limit of his hockey ability.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Comrie to Sabres for 2 x 1.8 and Namestikov to Tampa

 

[Fogelhund]

""

Good deal.

 

[Menzinger]

Wish Mik well, didn't want him at that aav here. Some of these Hawks contracts have been odd, Domi for 3mil?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He just signed with the Flames

Boo. Oh well.

Josh Brown and Matt Benning are a pair of other depth guys I would look at.

 

[Macallan18]

losing Boosh, Micky and Soup makes ... better?

Yes, we are.

Better than had we signed them for the stupid deals they got!!!!!
