GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[StozeLeGroz]

Dont mind the offseason so far, best defense in 15-20 years, great top end, heavy bottom 6 comp and 2 upside gambles

 

[ToneDog]

How do you get nothing back for Pacioretty, who's a really good player and has only 1 year left?

Brutal asset management by Vegas and it's certainly not the first time.

Same way you got less than nothing for Dadonov ??

cap dump

 

[ToneDog]

You can never have enough of "that kind of guy" in your bottom 6 on an otherwise soft team

Did we pass on him on waivers and Avs claimed him ??

 

[Amadeus]

Dont think anyone can say we got better this offseason. This team isn't on Tampa's level, neither on New York's, Edmonton, and Colorado.

 

[Brobust]

Offseason so far:

Campbell/Mrazek > Murray/Samsonov (lateral move at best)
Mikheyev > NAK (downgrade)
Kase > no replacement
Lyubushkin > no replacement

On top of that, looks like Simmonds and Clifford will play NHL games because no other guys were signed.

You're right. Clearly what this team needs more of is Cody Ceci in a top 4 role.

Only then will we be on Edmonton's level.

Per TSN
Matt Murray is still recovering from his injuries.

I've seen this movie before.

At least we have samsonov so it's less of a disaster but not the best start

 

[Amadeus]

Only then will we be on Edmonton's level.

Evander Kane is a significant addition for them. They're set up front and their D played well this year. They already showed more playoff success than us.

Kyle Dubas | Free Agency Media Availability | July 13, 2022

July 13, 2022

Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Kyle Dubas speaks with the media on opening day of NHL Free Agency.

 

[2 Slick]

Not overly thrilled about any of the acquisitions. The Leafs have absolutely regressed in terms of personnel, skill level and quality of players.

This is the least excited I've been for an upcoming season in at least six years.

 

[ULF_55]

Going to be competitive camp with prospects pushing the NHL vets.

Still going to be some minor changes.

Edmonton also plays in a weak division that’s going to get weaker with Gaudreau leaving

It’s day 1 of free agency though. Not done yet.

Wanting a RHD with bite
More forwards
Prefer Sandin on left side but thats crowded.
Sure seems like we are considering trading Muzzin because there is no other way Sandin can fit on the left side.

That's why they're going all in.

We had the same advantage two years ago

That or he's trying to gaslight sandins agent into signing for 1 year at 1 mil

Are signings not allowed after today? I can't stand people when they make comments like this. There will be more moves and Dubas confirmed that.
Now maybe NHL said no more players added so maybe I am wrong.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Kyle Dubas is so inept. Afraid of his own shadow I swear

 

[BertCorbeau]

Biggest loser of the day: HF servers

It was good for awhile but the last 2-3 hours couldn’t hold up

about time we see what we have in some of our prospects instead of ritchie/clifford types imo.

Plan is probably heavy load management with both Muzzin and Giordano next season.

Once again more moves are coming. Season doesn't start tomorrow. If we are judging on day 1, hand Ottawa the cup now

Read the same thing last summer about how much worse we were

Nope, no restrictions.

Yup he had until 2 PM today to make improvements and now he's done. Just saw rule that players can't be added any more
