GDT: Free Agent Frenzy--9am PST, 7/1/15

[Raccoon Jesus]

...this offseason has been nothing if not interesting and today stands to be more of the same. Hold on to your butts!

I'm kissing Sekera and Williams (cry barf) goodbye and saying hello to...

[KingsFan7824]

Stick, J-Dub, Willy, Mr. Game 7, Justin, Mr. Williams...just sign in the East.

Dean typically does his best work before these events. I'm just really in it to see where those guys go and who completely overpays for other UFAs.

 

[Hatter]

We need Sekera or oduya

The day Dean Lombardi sends his Blackberry to best buy for annual cleaning

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Meh, Oduya and Martinez are basically the same dude.

Sekera is gonna get 6.5+ from either Edmonton or Colorado, darkhorse Buffalo.

I'm guessing at this point we either get Paul Martin or it's a left-field trade that gets us a 2nd pairing d-man.

 

[Model62]

That's PDT, friend.

This.

Not expecting anything to happen today, if anything, in the coming days the Phaneuf deal finally happens once the bonus has been paid.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

@TSNRyanRishaug: With trade market a little cold, sights set firmly on Sekera out of LA for Oilers. Need a dman who can play top minutes.

 

[gnarls barkley]

really don't want to see Phaneuf here. Too much money for not enough player.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

One goalie already off the market.

@FriedgeHNIC: Ramo extension in CAL is one year

 

[johnjm22]

If Matt Beleskey is expected to get 5M AAV, then the FA market this year truly is ridiculous.

His career high is 32 points.

 

[Fishhead]

That's crazy.

You know, my career high is zero points, but I'm a great character guy, and I'm over the free agency age. I also make a mean Posole.

This year that's gotta be worth $1.1M at least.

Bobby Mac just said LA and SJ told they're out the sekera deal

 

[BigBrown]

Edmonton leading contender for Sekera.. double sad.

Bobby Mac just said LA and SJ told they're out the sekera deal

link? All I saw was EDM in lead for him.

 

[KingsCourt]

link?

no link, watching it on TV

 

[johnjm22]

He said it on TSN.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

If he wants EDM, be my guest dude. All about the $$. Team needs a few years to be competitive.

 

[BigBrown]

Fine, whatever, might as well put everybody good in the Pacific Divsion.

 

[Trolfoli]

If he wants EDM, be my guest dude. All about the $$. Team needs a few years to be competitive.

They'll play him as a first pairing D and pay him that way. Kings don't have the money to compete with that.

 

[johnjm22]

Paul Martin is way overrated. I hope the Sharks do sign him. Perfect fit.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Hoping for DL to do something unexpectedly good today to shore up the D.

 

[guderian]

If it's true Ehrhoff is chasing cup and not money he could be best option.
