GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2022

[aingefan]

i left for a bit...is there a context to this/?

Compared to UFA RD contracts.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Doubt he's capable of that, if we were building a bottom 6 line with some offense you may roll the dice

Definitely makes more sense as a potential 4C, and would not be a bad pickup.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

If the Flames are forced to retool/rebuild I'd love to grab Tanev off their hands. We can dump Holl and/or Muzzin to make room.

 

[LBloor]

I was actually joking today when I said the Oilers name should be changed to Sloppy Seconds, with reference to Hyman and Campbell. Then I saw they added McKegg. Then I remembered Barrie and Ceci. I guess I stand by my whimsical observation! Lol.

humm but yet they went further in the play offs

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Toronto is literally like 100 miles closer to his home than Columbus. He didn’t go home.

This makes no sense.

I believe he wanted to be on the east coast

It's also the Winnipeg of American hockey cities

I think it was being in the east kind of like that defensemen from the islanders that did that in the past

 

[nuck]

New Jersey, Islanders, Anaheim and Seattle are the only 4 teams with Cap-space i think that can sign Nazem Kadri. I dont think either of those places are attractive to Kadri. I see him going back to Colorado for lower money.

If it was the Rangers..I think Kadri would have seriously considered it

Calgary now but they need to know what Tkachuk is thinking. If they cant extend him Treliving needs to find some palatable destinations for him and deal. This may be a different Flames team pretty quick.

 

[SprDaVE]

I was wondering about the Ducks and their 35M of cap space... I guess this is ok?

It will help them be better. .. but otherwise

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Still some interesting UFAs out there, wonder what the hold-up is.

 

[ULF_55]

Maybe I read this wrong but isn't Calgary bigger than Columbus population wise?

No, Columbus has more people but could be smaller.

I wouldn't move there but ...

Here are our needs.
1 more 4th liner
A middle 6 player maybe 2 if they move Kerfoot. If it's better than Kerfoot, than really one.
Bottom 6 forward(this could replace the 4th liner need if the player is better)
A 7th d man.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Personally I set the bar low after Dubas eluded to running it back with the core.. I didn’t see a big forward addition coming and just retooled depth. His priorities being goaltending.

Luke schenn at 750k

Luke schenn at 750k

Is he a FA? Didn't know that. Pretty much another Lyb and at league min. I'll take him. Leafs had interest in him at the deadline too


People dislike Dubas and I get it but for anyone who wants Lou back, be careful.

 

[Havoc]

Lou just lost a bid war to Columbus, sorry for being immature but I can't help myself: LOLLLLLL

Time to retire.

 

[kb]

Personally I set the bar low after Dubas eluded to running it back with the core.. I didn’t see a big forward addition coming and just retooled depth. His priorities being goaltending.

But he also knew that none of his real main rivals can run it back....they all took significant hits and are taking on water.

 

[Stephen]

End of an era... until during next season when for some reason we trade for him at the deadline.

He'll be back.

 

[Stephen]

But he also knew that none of his rivals can run it back....they all took significant hits and are leaking.

Curious to see if Florida falls apart. Sounds like they've soured on Weegar and have lost some personnel in Marchment and Giroux already.

Buffalo, Ottawa and Detroit all look motivated to take Boston's spot for 4th place/wild card as well, but the unusual thing is we lost a lot of games to the basement dwellers so it's not like that's where our point totals will be shaved off.

Tampa's re-signings are quite pricy. I don't mind seeing them older and entering cap hell.

 

[thewave]

Wow, Johnny G going to the Jackies... So many better low tax cities to have a quiet life in... NJ is just a trash state at this point, same with NY forget about it so I get that but...

My list in his position.

Panthers
Lightning
Predators
Hurricanes
Golden Knights

Good life low taxes and good chance to compete.

 

[3blizzard4]

Same could be said of Leaf players heading to Edmonton.

 

[Brobust]

1 more 4th liner
A middle 6 player maybe 2 if they move Kerfoot. If it's better than Kerfoot, than really one.
Bottom 6 forward(this could replace the 4th liner need if the player is better)
A 7th d man.

Assuming NAK is on the 3rd line, and that Gaudette is a long shot, they still need 3 4th liners.

1 top 6 LW. Let's not beat around the bush, the 2nd line has been outscored 2 years in a row while taking of soft matchups. It needs to be addressed.

I feel like they're done with the fourth line signings, they already have a lot of guys competing for those spots.

All I really see is someone to replace Mikheyev in the middle 6 and another defenceman, assuming Holl is traded.

Kerfoot doesn't seem likely to be traded at this point.

 

[DcW]

Wonder if now is a good time to trade Kerfoot. Capitalize on teams who missed on their targets. He’s ufa next year anyway. Let’s stop the lose someone for nothing philosophy.

Ottawa, Buffalo and Detroit have all taken major steps forward so far this off season.

The gap between the haves and have nots has narrowed and the top teams are likely going to have more points shaved off this year.

Well, we did exceptionally poorly against Buffalo and Ottawa anyway, so that won't impact us too much...
