GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[Stephen]

This mikeyev deal is brudal. Jimmy got schooled.

Terrible for the Canucks.

 

[notbias]

They replaced them with NOTHING.

You are undervaluing all of those players. Mik especially was an elite penalty killer. Joke post.

Mikheyev is a good player, but think he is getting overrated, he is a great player to do everything on a line, terrible IQ and vision, he is a less talented Kapanen

 

[BTP]

it's the first day of the offseason dude

I said they are worse as of right now and it could change. Im a dubas fan, he needs to put in work right now though.

 

[kerk]

We saw what he was in the NHL.

it's been 2 years

 

[rocketman588]

I would assume the goal is malgin on the third so you can run Kampf on the 4th

We've made this exact gamble on euro players before and it hasn't exactly been great

 

[keonsbitterness]

People still defending Dubas. How? Lol

People......they're the worst!

 

[Morgs]

Only undervaluing Mikheyev, who is a very good 3W. Likely even overvaluing Bush though as he was the 8th best D on the roster and the other 7 are still here.

They also replaced Campbell with Murray/Samsonov, so like... lol

Yeah those 3 players really brought it in the playoffs......

They hardly move the needle.

 

[SprDaVE]

The membership grew or shrank?

It's someone that can surprise and provide good scoring depth. If he sucks, he's on waivers.

Oh my god... the humanity. It's all over. The Dubas cult is growing. Nooooooo

 

[notbias]

Kase was exactly what people predicted.

High talent but one hit away from the er

The other two were good signings. They at least had some good numbers to explain them however.

We've seen malgin the Colorado guy is a plus

The goalies are a gamble that may or may not pay off

We have like 10 bottom 6 forwards right now, signing Malgin does not guarantee him a spot, I fail to see how it's an issue.

Malgin is good, but still might not make the team

 

[SprDaVE]

My point was he was here. Never amounted to anything. And now he's back. He's not good depth if he doesn't play.

It's been awhile. He only played 8 games last time. Players can develop further.

 

[WTFMAN99]

it's been 2 years

Remember when Burnistrov or Grigorenko left and came back? That’s this situation.

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, he’s not an NHL player.

 

[Stephen]

What love affair? I find it bizarre people seem to think there's a love affair. He's just a depth player.

Well, he is also a meme at this point. He is only the age of a Barabanov free wallet but there’s some unfortunate history there so he’ll always attract negative attention.

Didn't Nichuskin just do this too?

2 years younger than Marchment. Not saying he will become anything, just that this is premature.

Exception to the rule.

I think Martin skoula should apply as the meme player

idk how to tell you this, but players don't stop developing at 23 years old.

if they did, we wouldn't have so many people missed that we let go of marchment because he couldn't keep up in the nhl at 25.

 

[Stand Witness]

Really not feeling great about this team going inti next season. Just not enough depth up front and we have a hell of a gamble in net.

Not sure there was really a better gamble in net but the middle of our forwards scare the hell out of me.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Hockey God's give me the bloody trade already...lol

 

[notbias]

Exception to the rule.

I am sure Malgin won't be on that level, but no reason to not take a free shot...

 

[Griffin76]

Absolutely anything can happen. Just seems that this off season may all be a hope and a prayer type signings.

Malgin is good, but still might not make the team

Because like 3 of them are NHL players unless you want to run with the carcass of Wayne Simmonds again

Tell you what, because we could go back and forth all day on Malgin, you can tell me you told me so if he cracks the roster and doesn’t suck.

If he sucks, kindly stfu & don’t reply to me going forward.
