GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[rangers1314]

3/15 for Bozak

3/15 for Bozak

Hayes should get less than that AAV

 

[DanielBrassard]

Doughty's contract would scare me off from EK65 if I were Gorton, that is disgusting money that we should not be paying anyone.

It's not that disgusting when the cap is 80M. You pay the elite players, don't give big money to mediocre players is the big thing.

 

[GregSirico]

Bozak getting PAID big time.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

It sucks that everything is reliant on Tavares, i want the guy to be able to take his time to make the biggest decision of his life, but Im also tired of waiting for this guy to decide on a team just so my team can do something. His own personal life is in the way of the Rangers potentially improving lol. Tough situation, hopefully JT decides soon.

Dude, it's July 1. Lol

I hear that but assuming we take Ryan with EK65 AND still have Hank making 8.5 for 3 more years. That is mucho guapo.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Bozak getting PAID big time.

I don't think so. I think that is actually a good deal. Guy has consistently produced at a 50+ points per 82 games.

Bozak getting PAID big time.

I actually like that deal for STL.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Dude, it's July 1. Lol

Yes but this news has been holding up the market for a week. Again, i want the guy to be able to take his time, im just saying it sucks that he is the one holding up the market.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Give us more info, Uncle Bob.

 

[Tawnos]

Bozak getting PAID big time.

I think it’d be a useful thing to remember today that teams can spend an average of $3.6m to fill a 22-man roster.

He couldn't sign a deal as a UFA until today. At least give him until the afternoon on the first day of free agency before complaining.

Knowing how much it infuriates some folks, if I was Tavares I'd deliberately hold out for couple days haha.

I'd wait until next weekend.

I'd wait until next weekend.

Some people just want to see the world burn hehe.

Hayes should have been 2C for a couple years now... either way, they have Nieves, so if they only ice 12-13 players with experience, I'm very confident.

I think Fontaine would be considered if he has a good camp.

 

[Fitzy]

I'm ready for more blue chip prospects. Let's get busy.

You mean our future #1 center Boo Nieves, master of the power of synergy?

 

[Tawnos]

Everything with the Tavares situation strikes me as someone who never seriously considered the alternatives to the Islanders until recently.

 

[rangers1314]

Ian Cole to Colorado 3/~12

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

I think Fontaine would be considered if he has a good camp.

So 2017-18... they'll be the first team to ice one skater... Nieves vs. NHL.

 

[RGY]

Ian Cole to Colorado 3/~12

Eh $4 million aav just a tad high for me but not bad

 

[Nickmo82]

It's quite nice not being in the running for overpaying declining stars.
