GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[darko]

McDonagh and Miller had a certain value regardless of what the prospects turn into.

And the guys we achieved have certain value.

That trade can't be judged until few years down the track.

 

[broadwayblue]

We could move all of our centers with the Synergetic Boo in our back pocket.

That's assuming some team doesn't offer sheet him first. I guess the four 1st rounders will soften the blow.

 

[GAGLine]

Damn I would've loved Grabs again. PHX is not going to win anything so why go there lol

Arizona played very well in the 2nd half last year, once Raanta was health. They re-signed OEL, Raanta and Hammer. I think they will compete for a playoff spot.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

The Tavares situation needs to settle.

Tell me about it

 

[TheTakedown]

Good luck Nick.

Also a good contract

4? At least 6.

 

[Fitzy]

The McD cap hit is good, but the length and terms is beyond stupid. I don't blame anyone for tax considerations. I get a few grand in my pocket after moving from NJ to TX (no state income tax like FL).

But you're missing out on all those amazing government services!

 

[Tawnos]

McDonagh and Miller had a certain value regardless of what the prospects turn into.

Yeah, and the value is what they ended up getting.

Or do you think Gorton turned down a better offer...

I had very modest expecitations for today — sign some quality third and fourth line players, look for 1-2 lower cost veterans and build NHL level depth so that when veterans were traded this year, we wouldn’t be stuck looking at Paul Carey and Peter Holland in the top three lines. In other words I didn’t expect a lot. So far, I’ve gotten even less.

Lol, well played

 

[broadwayblue]

4? At least 6.

My bad, I thought the max was 4.

 

[nevesis]

HAHAHAHAH

Tavares not going to Islanders according to Staple

Yeah but the pressure was also off because they were out of it early.

 

[TheTakedown]

I wanted to not trade from our weakest position for the sake of making a trade, add to it, and still get bent over.

Right d is our weakest position. Try again

 

[rangers1314]

Utter devastation for NYI.

 

[darko]

My bad, I thought the max was 4.

Special rules for a special player.

 

[broadwayblue]

HAHAHAHAH

Isles forum to self destruct in 3. 2. 1.

But I did get my invoice for Ranger season tickets at 3:24 AM.

 

[howztheglass]

ICB claims JT to Toronto

 

[Bob Richards]

Lehner would be the perfect back up for Hank for next year.

I refuse.

Look, either he covers up the neck tattoo or gets more to finish the whole thing. The single neck ink is absolutely unacceptable.

We have strayed too far from God.

 

[darko]

We should've kept McD and then let him walk

To be fair, I'm glad we've stood pat so far with the deals being thrown around.

 

[RGY]

Islanders organization is going right into the ground.

Their prospect pool overall isnt that fantastic. Barzal is their guy now. Wahlstrom, Dobson, Sorokin. Idk who else but man
