GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[Leaf Rocket]

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

I think we are looking at Samsonov as our future goalie...so we were likely going for players like Samsonov or Comrie for the future unless our goalie in depth pan out.

 

[Shooter2x]

mik lol

Canucks most likely miss the playoffs though, so he gets to avoid being exposed.

 

[garce]

You knew Mik was going to stay in Canada,,,, Glad it was van and not one of few others, Edm Mtl or ott

 

[zeke]

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

Lol Canadian teams love leafs so damn much.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I don't recognize anyone that Burns deal

 

[Trapper]

He's been around forever too

He would have made a solid insurance policy and safety net. More of a known to the unknown.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

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

Are they trying to hit the cap floor or something and bottom out to get Bedard or whatnot

 

[OVO16]

Comrie to Sabres for 2 x 1.8 and Namestikov to Tampa

Tampa always ends up getting gritty and pest type of players. Ian Cole and now Namestikov. Team is constantly looking for tenacity. I respect it

 

[PromisedLand]

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.

I think Stevie Y is buying picks. Hoping to flip them for picks. I think red wings do another year of rebuild.

 

[kb]

He brought hits and nothing else to the table. They didn't even trust him to play on the PK lol

Exactly this. Doesn't PK and has no offensive talent.

He's a prototypical $1.5 mil depth signing. Paying or expecting more is a mistake.

Boo. Oh well.

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

Pretty sure I saw Brown signed somewhere too

 

[rocketman588]

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

Didn't see that part initially solid business in that case

 

[Leaf Rocket]

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

What a time/transition...having burns, marleau, thornton, karlson and what not to whatever this transition is going on to be.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Anytime you can give nearly 5M to a player whose career high is 32 points you have to do it

 

[SprDaVE]

Boo. Oh well.

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

Brown signed with Arizona.

 

[hamzarocks]

Boo. Oh well.

Josh brown to Arizona

 

[stickty111]

Well thats too bad. Would have liked him.

 

[Morgs]

That would have been nice

 

[Macallan18]

Very happy with avoiding some of these contracts so far.

Strome and Lindbolm would be nice if they are cheap (doubt Strome is)

totally want Dylan

 

[Leaf Rocket]

i was kind of curious about him...but hmmm I dont know.

 

[Trapper]

I think we are looking at Samsonov as our future goalie...so we were likely going for players like Samsonov or Comrie for the future unless our goalie in depth pan out.

I understand the thinking. I’m just split between 1 known and 1 gamble to win a round vs. 2 unknowns.

 

[SprDaVE]

Good deal.

I was hoping he'd be PTO level by the time training camp rolled around. Solid for the Rangers.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Josh brown to Arizona

his knees are like busted bad...i hope for his sake he recovers.

 

[Schenn]

Would have liked White at that price.
