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

Lindback to Arizona. Ok. Another backup goalie gone. Why does no one want to backup Quick?
 
No their not. THe whole complexion of the team changed when the front office did.
Chiarelli is a good fit there and is showing it. THey neede to upgrade in goal and D and they've done that
They have a good coach in place and will be a much more difficult team to play against.

I'll give them respect once results stay showing on the ice.

I don't mind MacLellan but I have never been a Chiarelli fan.

With a culture change they will be a threat in a few years.

They are going to have to manage some contracts to fill out that defense though.
 
Wow, and Toronto is retaining part of Kessel's salary. That's a pretty good deal for the Pens thus far.

Kessel to Pitt in multi player deal. Done
 
Oh, I wish there was a live stream to watch both these things happen...

I would PPV the crap out of a live feed showing Toronto fans reactions to the Kessel return.

Why PPV when you get their boards for free? MELTDOWN

It's like a good dessert after a horrible dinner of trade proposals from them for the past year.

There is your ****ing sweetener dip ****s. MR is off the books too. :)
 
Are you really going to hand-wring over every single signing today?

The important ones, yes. Rosen said Lombardi's plan was to sign a clear cut #2. So far, every single backup has signed somewhere other than LA.

Seriously though, other than sheer ability of being a top goalie in the league, why does no one want to play with Quick? Bernier, Martin Jones and now all these backup goalies are signing places other than LA. Are they that worried about playing time? History says Quick will get hurt, so you know you'll be able to get at least 15ish games?
 
Well, I'm not going to lie...losing Sekera stings a bit. I'm thinking it was the NMC that may have been the deal breaker. But in any case, knowing Lombardi, he'll find a way to improve our defense, so, I ain't too worried.

I agree, the NMC is an absolute deal breaker. Dean has now been stung pretty badly by these long contracts that he can't get away from and Sekera had injury problems with us in such a short time. Don't see him handing out any NMC's with the insanely volatile situation our finances are in. We have no clue if the Richards contract will stay off the books and if Voynov will suddenly appear on the roster tomorrow. Too unpredictable.
