GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[PredsV82]

Holy f*** ALL YOUR UFA ARE BELONG TO US.

Only day in Pred history that's comparable is when we signed Kariya.

I sure wish Steve was here to see it...

Would've taken Chychrun at this price...

 

[JD86]

Glad to have a clear direction, I'm not sure it was the right choice, but it should be fun.

If the Carrier extension is true, they can't afford Stephenson and Skjei without moving salary.

 

[herzausstein]

Certainly beats the rumors around my other team. Woo, Sean Monahan. How exciting and necessary. Yay.

Sounds like yall got him for 5x5...

f*** me I'm going to be sick

 

[Viqsi]

omg everything is happening

 

[Predsanddead24]

The age factor is certainly a risk but we just added two 40 goal scorers to the roster without having to trade any prospects. No idea if it all works out but even if it fails we should be set up well for a quick bottom out and bounce back if need be. I take back all my complaints about Barry (for now).

 

[Armourboy]

If you aren't going to rebuild then that is what needed to happen

 

[ShagDaddy]

checking in on all of the “play the youth” people. Y’all still breathing?

 

[Legionnaire11]

What a day!!!!

 

[Enoch]

Omg he freaking did it.

 

[LCPreds]

Remember when we couldn't get decent UFAs to sign in Nashville? Trotz remembers.

 

[King Weber]

still need a backup for Juuse unless we play Askarov

 

[Enoch]

Cap space finally used on stars instead of plugs. Well freaking done.

 

[herzausstein]

Holy crap. Sitting at just around 83 million (19 man roster) now with Skjei, Stamkos, and Marchessault. All RFAs unsigned and using Askarov as the backup. Not sure where this is going but this is nuts

 

[Enoch]

only mistake I see for trotz thus far was duchene buyout but we wouldn’t be doing this FA run without roster flexibility and some cap space. Really well done overall. Beyond excited

I'm fine with this. The half you guys all tended to ignore was that we didn't want to see so many of the Jankowski, Sherwoods, and McCarron's of the world play instead.

 

[PredsV82]

Stammer, Skjei and Marchessault...

 

[herzausstein]

checking in on all of the “play the youth” people. Y’all still breathing?

Forsberg stamkos Evangelista
Novak ror marchessault
Nyquist Parssinen Tomasino
Smith sissons McCarron/Jankowski

Josi Fabbro
Skjei lauzon
Stastney schenn

That's assuming no trades. A legit top 9 offense. Defense is interesting to see how that turns out.

3rd line could also be
L'Heureux Parssinen Nyquist

I think we will have a trade or two somewhere in there so this isnt a finished product. Alot of hand-wringing was caused by playing plugs and tweeners over young talent.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

I was a play the youth guy because they need a rebuild. Granted, we did rebuild, but in a very different way.

Pretty incredible turn of events. All chips in the center, which is what I asked for. No middle of the road. Either go in or go out.

 

[braindead]

Exactly what Trotz needed to do with Josi, Forsberg and Saros at our core and at their age. Only crappy thing about today is these boards crashing repeatedly.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

NoNeck is kind of cooking. Ain’t gonna lie.

 

[nullednumbed]

Props to the guys who are pumped with these moves. I really hope they turn out. I will sit in the miority as someone with big reservations about them. Winning the offseason doesn't hold much water with me, However, at least we know without a doubt Trotz's plan that's for sure.

What a f***ing day

I still want to see Askarov moved for Pinto or someone like that. He's not going to help us win the Cup in the Josi Era and should have good value still. We also need a center now since we can't afford Stephenson.
