GDT: Free Agent Frenzy: The Horror, the Horror!!!

[Joe McGrath]

Damn. How much did Staal leave on the table by not talkin' steak prior to last season?

I'm guessing Francis would have offered him $6m for 4/5 years. So a lot.

 

[NotOpie]

Sorry to be rude, but have you been paying attention the last 35 minutes? Boedker will not be cheap. He will get paid by someone.

Also, Boedker is *not* a RF/BP player. No chance he signs here.

Kev, just out of curiosity, why do you thing Boedker isn't an RF/BP player? Possession #'s?

 

[Wild Caniac]

I'm with Bomber in that I can escape Eric Staal. That being said I like the move. I hate the Stewart move more.

 

[Vagrant]

all kinds of "ya'll don't spend money" shade being thrown towards Carolina right now by Estaalo.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Eric taking some jabs at they style of play and lack of being a cap team in his interview on Sportsnet.

 

[DaveG]

SOOOO much salt from Staal right now.

Eric Staal driving the bus now...

Wonder what brother Jordan's thinking right about now....

If the Canes operate at the Cap floor this year we can expect much more of this. Especially from the QC vultures. "Broke Owner", "Bad Team", "Cap Floor" abound.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Hahaha, nice Eric.

 

[Led Tasso]

Like how he stated, "I am not going to throw anyone under the bus, but [I am going to throw carolina under the bus]"

 

[Joe McGrath]

It's hard to argue that the system isn't the best for putting up numbers, since no one puts up numbers in it.

 

[GoldiFox]

Eric Staal driving the bus now...

Thank God Eric got to REALLY prove his production on a Cap Ceiling team when he powered the Rangers to a 1st round exit. Knocked it out of the park once he was away from the penny pinchers.

 

[Brock Anton]

We tried spending to the cap one year, and we ended up being the worst team in the league until late.

 

[DaveG]

Wonder what brother Jordan's thinking right about now....

I'd say if he has a problem with it, pity that Minnesota doesn't have anyone I'd trade him for.

 

[Wolfpuck]

estaalo mad lol

 

[AhoLottaLove]

Never thought Eric would be the type to take parting shots.

 

[TheOllieC]

More Staal on TSN now.

Also, TSN destroys SN, dunno how some of you guys are watching that.

 

[Brock Anton]

We have no choice, NHLN has Sportsnet coverage.... and they've done nothing but wet themselves over Lucic.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Sounds like he really wanted to come back, and Francis was like, "Nope".

Sorry estaalo.

 

[CandyCanes]

I dream of being able to get TSN coverage. Sportsnet is generally awful.

 

[toastmasterbone]

I wonder if Staal and Parise are still close. Can't play with brothers, so he'll play with friends. Also won't have to sleep in a Kenmore box down at the Amtrak switching yard if Zach lets Eric crash on the couch.

the internet is a great thing

u always have a choice

 

[Vagrant]

I'm so glad that we didn't extend him if he felt that way the whole time, but having to take about half of what you expected in free agency can be a bitter pill. Someone should remind Eric that the Hurricanes weren't the only team he played with last year.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I prefer TSN greatly, but didn't feel like dealing with a likely far behind feed. So NHL Network and Sportsnet it is.
