GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[Trxjw]

Claesson is Karlssons best friend on Ottawa?

Uh oh....

Stop that. You're senile.

 

[EpicDing]

Don’t encourage them.

My bad.

f*** Gorton

 

[EdJovanovski]

inb4 Hayes for Karlsson

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

The Rangers were going to have an issue finding a spot for everyone to play before signing another defenseman...

Skjei
Smith
Staal
Shattenkirk
ADA
Pionk
Gilmour
O’Gara
Bigras
Day
Pedrie
Hajek
Lindgren
Claesson
Kampfer

That’s 15 defensemen for, what I would imagine, between the AHL and NHL are about 13-14 real playing spots.

Gorton sees that as 2 more defensemen away from icing a lineup of 18 defensemen. Now he just needs to trade the righties for lefties and his world domination is complete.

Step 1: collect left handed defensemen.
Step 2: ????????
Step 3: Profit!

Gorton can't be finished yet, this organization is only one LHD short of a full roster!

Claesson is also good friends with Zibanajed, played in Sweden together.

 

[smoneil]

This is actually a really nice change of pace, IMO. I also like the intrigue surrounding who they'll target instead of it being the names at the top of the board.

Agreed. It's nice to be able to reach for the popcorn on FA day rather than the Pepto.

Not how I saw the day unfolding, but happy to be wrong so far.

I forgot Crawley, so 16 defensemen for 13-14 legit spots

good. I was starting to think today would be a total waste. good to see they're sticking to the plan of
rebuilding by drafting lefthanded defenseman... excellent!

Woah, 7 pts. in 64 games - what can he do for us and it`s safe to assume he can get a 4th line spot since we are so deep this year.
I just noticed he was a defender, I guess he will compete for a 3rd line spot this year?

That's a good deal for Names.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Names 4million bridge deal, not bad

 

[GregSirico]

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Gorton is hiring a bunch of nuns to beat the lefties into righties....

[RGY]

Not a bad deal for Nam

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Hes a ufa at contract end right?

 

[eco's bones]

The Rangers being nice to Namestnikov. He's a good player--but his play after the deadline was disappointing.

 

[NYR Viper]

2 years takes Namestnikov right to UFA status

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Man, when did these salaries start going through the roof? I guess the cap has gone up. Before this year I'd think 4 million per would be too much.
