GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[Good Intentions]

The value on Duclair vs. Rieder money may be significant. A few more of these names will be left out in the cold. Wingels on cheap? SIgn me up. Carr? Sure.

Supply and demand. There's going to be a very affordable market for these names.

 

[DanielBrassard]

This is the first time ever I'm not losing my mind with excitement on July 1

Definitely not a normal feeling lol

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Brandon Manning to Chicago , that leaves Moore and DeMelo as Dmen i have interest in

 

[duhmetreE]

If things pan out we will be eating a large cap hit for some real nice assets in return. There are several options. But things are not set in stone. Waiting game now.

Large cap hit? for how long?

This is why anyone that is thinking the Rangers are going to be better than expected next year are deluding themselves, IMO. Non-playoff teams like Vancouver and Chicago are filling in holes, and making short term improvements. The Rangers are not going to have their point total artificially inflated.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Time for Gorton to sweep in in Toronto to help facilitate Tavares.

Either that or offer sheet the shit out of Matthews/Marner next year (yes, I know this is very unlikely).

 

[Fitzy]

McDonagh 7x$6.75m

That's a tremendous deal for Tampa Bay, considering what other players are getting.

I would've gladly given him that. I thought he would get 8.5 per.

[rangers1314]

Whoa TB extends McDonagh. 7/6.75 aav

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Wow Tampa just locked up McD to a great deal

 

[BBKers]

Looks like JT to Toronto. Dominoes falling

 

[DanielBrassard]

Jesus christ glad we dodged that bullet.

Would have cost the Rangers closer to 8M with the tax laws probably. That is a solid deal for TB IMO.

 

[Tawnos]

McDonagh 7x$6.75m

Less than I would’ve expected really.

7 years wouldn’t have worked for us in our current situation.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Jesus christ glad we dodged that bullet.

Lot less than the 8+ plus some were predicting around here though.

 

[Trxjw]

The Blues just can't quit David Perron.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Duclair
Moore
Beagle

Roussel
Grabner
Sustr

Roussel and Beagle are headed to Vancouver.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah great deal for Tampa as long as he can maintain his level of play.

They need to do something about this tax bullshit.

 

[E-Train]

Nice deal for TB and Mac.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Jesus christ glad we dodged that bullet.

double post.

 

[JT Kreider]

Wow Tampa just locked up McD to a great deal

The AAV is fine but he's a classic breakdown by 31 type of player

 

[Trxjw]

Lot less than the 8+ plus some were predicting around here though.

Florida. Taxes.

Still, I'm always going to worry about his body holding up. That was the big issue for me.

Do you believe it will happen today? That’s the dominoes

 

[I Eat Crow]

6.75 million annually is a fantastic deal for Tampa. The 7 year term is what I'm leery of.

 

[Machinehead]

I was told McDonagh was getting 40 billion a year.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

I’m neither here nor there on Duclair but it would be convenient considering I’ve never changed my avatar.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

True

 

[East Coast Bias]

Lot less than the 8+ plus some were predicting around here though.

6.75 in FL is 8 elsewhere

They're 'in the window' right now so that's not their #1 concern I am sure.
