GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Part II - Awful deals galore! (Clowe to NJ)

[SupersonicMonkey*]

Richards is eating up the cap space of more than one player.

Exactly why i wanted him bought out.

But again, other than him, who are we complaining about?

Boyle may be good as gone with the Moore signing. Powe and Asham are as good as gone.

Pyatt? At least he can fill in up and down the lineup.

The Rangers said they want youth in the lineup, so far it looks like that will happen. I don't see how that's a negative. Richards will be gone next summer, guaranteed.

There's a report out of Quebec that the Flyers and Habs are working on a multi-player deal involving Talbot and Coburn.

Richards signing rivaling Gomez/Redden contracts. Maybe Montreal will take Richards.

George Parros est maintenant un membre du Canadien. #JA2013

Parros to the Habs.

Orr/McLaren/Fraser, Thornton, Scott. They need someone.

Habs acquire George Parros from the Florida Panthers, in return for Philippe Lefebvre and Florida’s seventh round draft pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft

Parros to the Habs.

Need to meet Maple Leafs and Sabres newfound toughness head on

Toughness is overrated. They should go back to their all-skill line-ups that did so well the past ~20 years.

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

There is a lot of Roster turnover going on around the league.

Habs picked up Parros so Prust doesn't have to fight all the heavyweights

Someone gets it.

Old Adams Division is back to old Adams division with teams loading up with muscle

Bottom line, we have Henrik Lundqvist, which means that every year, if we get in the playoffs, we have a legitimate shot to win the Stanley Cup.

Except it's been proven having Henrik Lundqvist isn't enough. Hank has been here eight years, and we've won five playoff series total in those eight years. In the NHL, that's a huge sample size.

We would need MUCH better players in front of Hank to be legitimate contenders every year.

 

[Tawnos]

Someone gets it.

Well, LeBrun just said on TSN that Marc Bergevin told him that, so his own analysis didn't get him there

worked out well for leafs last year. Air canada centre not pleasant place to play for division rivals.

How do you propose they do that?

Bergevin is a smart guy.

Keep forgetting Columbus is in our division now. Stupid ass realignment.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Yeah, he deserves it.

He'd be the 5th D-man on this team at best, and the only D-man currently on this roster that I'd commit 7 years to is McD.

The Flyers better get some defense coming back to them if that is true.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Richards will be gone next summer, guaranteed.

It's not guaranteed...not with Sather.

The only thing that's guaranteed is that if Richards gets hurt, his cap hit is guaranteed to stay on the books and cripple the team for years. Richards has actually given us TWO bad decisions by Sather...and there could be more.

 

[Kershaw]

Someone gets it.

should've kept Rupp?

 

[Crazed Beaver]

Blue jackets are going to be strong.

 

[The Gloaming]

I think he's better than Girardi. Just behind Staal and McD for me.

How do you propose they do that?

Bring in a good GM
