BRUINS GDT Free Agent Frenzy - July 1 NOON (ET) - ESPN+, TSN, SN

[BruinsFanMike82]

Someone is going to give Lindholm an awful deal. Hope it's not us.

Under the "Worst Value" header:

"The biggest name here is Elias Lindholm. Ever since his ’21-22 campaign, with a nice duo of linemates for the Flames, Lindholm hasn’t been the same. He’s still contributing to the box score to an extent (although that’s even questionable now), but virtually every other metric we account for has shown a concerning decline. Given the narrative out of Vancouver and his fairly obvious slump, it wouldn’t surprise me if our contract model ends up being a bit high on him when everything is said and done. That said, it’s completely possible that the right fit exists on a team looking for a player with the obvious ceiling Lindholm has shown."

They're projecting a 7yr $7.96M contract for Lindholm.

Hmmm

 

[Absurdity]

Hmmm

It will be interesting to see what he signs for since he's the best FA this offseason.

 

[Boston Bandit]

Not going to get much without some overpaying in this FA year

Either pay up or go home

Two takeaways

Giving up a 3rd means a deal is in place

And Stamkos is going somewhere else

Yeah would definitely think giving up a third for sure ,Stamkos definitely going somewhere they freed up $11.5 but that’s not enough to sign both.

Idk Reinhart may have something to say about that ..

 

[Absurdity]

Idk Reinhart may have something to say about that ..

I totally forgot about Reinhart, I figured he would have re-signed with Florida by now.

 

[Gee Wally]

July 1st is my least productive work day of the year, I love it

Me too.
And Im retired.

 

[Mione134]

I totally forgot about Reinhart, I figured he would have re-signed with Florida by now.

Rumor is they have a deal already in place.

 

[The don godfather]

If zacha and Coyle are your number 1 and 2 next year were toast. Lindholm or bust. Let's go!

Adam Boqvist (CBJ) and Nate Schmidt (WPG) also being bought out.

Whatever happens

People will bitch because we paid someone too much

People will bitch because we didn't outbid another team for someone

Well if everyone agreed or was happy about everything it would make this place kind of boring wouldn’t it.lol

 

[BMC]

The bottom hasn’t fallen out yet.

I’ve been expecting it to happen and calling for it long enough now, so now I’ll go the opposite and say they’ll do enough in free agency to push doomsday off for another season.

Whether they build a true contender or not? I dunno.

I don’t think the parity has ever been stronger in this league. The B’s have enough blocks to build around if they are smart in free agency.

As always, target the biggest fish and the bargain bin. Stay away from the middle tier guys who almost always get overpaid and for too long of term.

The wild card here is what Swayman gets paid.

I read Shesterkin wants almost $13m per.

So Swayman is worth what in comparison?

View attachment 889875

I bet he gets it. He, like Swayman, makes the Rangers better than they actually are.

 

[The don godfather]

This FA is going to be sink or swim for donny. Hit on two good ones he survives. Missed sn i think he is fired. My two loonies

No way the legend Donny gets fired. In Donny i trust.

 

[BergyWho37]

Rumor is they have a deal already in place.

If it’s 8 year deal wouldn’t he need to sign it before July 1st ? and even if it isn’t he can still sign it now so why wait unless he is considering his other options

 

[Ladyfan]

so true

Well if everyone agreed or was happy about everything it would make this place kind of boring wouldn’t it.lol

I don't think we need to worry about that.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

so true


I don't think we need to worry about that.

That’s for sure

 

[TobanWest]

Sign Sway to 7.5x8 today so you know where your at tomorrow. Hope sway ain't asking for 10

That’s a little too much in my opinion

Very profetic

both can happen and both can be justifiable IMO.

Hopefully Sweeney and the pro scouting dept. find some good bargains again this year.
