GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[The Masters]

Carlo looks like a small, furry creature. Perhaps a gerbil.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I can't get that Tim Horton's camp day song out of my head

they got you!

 

[al secord]

And here's Rick Westhead to bring the mood in the room down

I know people here want Strome but i dont think he's the fit we really want or need. I get it...big center is fun and all but we need kind of a rough player with skill.. Strome is not that IMO.

Tavares to Strome

nostalgia Lindros to Allison.

 

[ITM]

He's good and has a good cap hit, why trade someone without an upgrade?

While in principal I agree...

...that damn drop pass.

100%.

A big slow teddy bear -- if he comes cheap, for sure.

But Strome is way too young to be handing out hometown discounts.

 

[TheDoldrums]

make something around Garland for Holl/Kerfoot work

 

[ITM]

Yzerman stockpiling fantastic depth today.

I could see that being a selling point to lure Kadri to Detroit.

 

[The Masters]

And here's Rick Westhead to bring the mood in the room down

honestly fk this guy

Hockey just isn't that popular of a sport in America unfortunately.

Not enough people follow, play and are passionate for hockey like they are fir b-ball in the US.

Which is why we obviously need more teams in the desert

 

[notbias]

...that damn drop pass.

Trade Sandin?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Tavares to Strome

nostalgia Lindros to Allison.

I get it and I get the Hometown allure...but i rather have a player that actually fits our needs and provides what we are looking for to get over that bloody hump.

 

[Fogelhund]

Why is Kerfoot still here?

Probably Gaudreau and Kadri are holding up the rest of the market.

 

[hamzarocks]

All true. Didn’t someone in the NBA just sign for 120m over 2 years?

Dame Lillard pretty sure

He'll have made like 450M off his contracts (well not really due to taxes but still). That's got to be worth more than a few NHL teams valuations

 

[rocketman588]

Perron at 4.75 isn't bad

 

[Leaf Rocket]

100%.

Yeap...Like I get it its appealing but even if we get him cheap i'd honestly use him as a bargaining chip to get the player we really need to get what we need lol

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

If Ken Holland has no interest in Holl, nobody does. Holland would call Aki Berg's agent at this point.

 

[Schenn]

Perron at 4.75 isn't bad

Would have loved that...

 

[keonsbitterness]

honestly fk this guy

Because he's a legit journalist?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Exactly what some have been saying...same tier of goalie, but the term was a sticking point. Young and lots of upside.

Dubas on Murray vs Campbell vs Samsonov.

 

[KPLeafs]

I think if we got Sonny Milano today I'd be pretty happy, lots of question marks in the net so we'll see but it could be a strong tandom

 

[Aashir]

Perron would’ve been a nice add, but he was a bit out of budget

 

[Fogelhund]

Marlies sign Logan Shaw.

 

[Stephen]

NBA revenue: $10 billion
NHL revenue: $5 billion

And paying 20 players vs 12.

Still doesn’t account for how a fan could pay a thousand dollars a playoff ticket and watch star players with late 90s salaries.

 

[Havoc]

Dubas really needs to speed up this Kerfoot trade so teams know if they have to fall back to Gaudreau
