GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Today at Noon EST

[I am not exposed]

I thought he really wanted to be here after the trade deadline. We could have made. 5M for two work but this deal conflicts not just with Huberdeau but also Lundell in two years

Are we talking about Giroux? How would that have worked, considering he just signed for $6.5 for three years....

 

[iam76]

gotta keep huberdeau now one would think

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Bye G
Bye Marchment
Bye my lovvvvveee

thats what I thought before he signed

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Honestly, if Zito could kinda replicate his first offseason with us, it might be for the best. Find us two cheap forwards, possibly one cheap D and otherwise stay pat. We don't have place for a big contract anyway.

With our cap situation, he does need to make the call on Huby and Weegs: keep, trade or treat them as internal rentals. We'll see.

Zito should trade him. But Zito is on a roll for making bad business decisions so I'm thinking that he has drafted a $10mil per proposal already.

Man, teams are getting a lot better. I know they had to play catch up but man, I am not feeling overly confident going into this season. I think this team was exposed in the playoffs and they're only stepping further back among the teams around them.

Yandle really f***ed us but I also am not giving a free pass to Zito for giving away the farm for a "all in" playoff run that was 2 years too early.

 

[Chessarmy]

Well, looks like we're going back to the Covid season roster. At least that team had a better showing against Tampa...

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

IMO the decision not to pursue Marchment is a clear sign that Huberdeau is being paid.

Could be wrong, obviously, but that seems overwhelmingly likely atm.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Bring back Yandle for 700k so we can properly thank him for all of his dead cap

Are you purposely trying to upset Jean Luc Discard

Still doesnt make sense to me.

Hornqvist expires and Yandle's buyout drops.


If Marchment signs for the difference between the Hornqvist buy out cap hit and his current cap hit (about 4), then thats a failure on Zito's behalf.

We're still a playoff team IMO (baring injury crisis/Maurice sucking hard) but this is why I was scratching my head at the "regular season doesn't matter, we're playoff bound for the next 2-3 years!" posts by some people here. We were clearly going to lose players while the conference had many strong teams. Nothing is guaranteed in this league and we're the last team that should take success for granted.

 

[Gentle Man]

BOMB!

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

BOMB!

THE SEASON IS SAVED!!! WHOOO!!

 

[Chino Oscar]

BOMB!

Playoffs here we come!

7 years for Trocheck with the Rags.

They get better now too

 

[letsgrowcactus]

BOMB!

OHL defenceman of the year. Tiny but with potential.
This is not for this season or even the next season but it's a solid low-key move going forward; let's see how he looks with Charlotte.

Now for the Panthers...

Can we trade Hornqvist back to the Pens for Matheson?

Reunited with Gallant. Makes sense. Improvement over Strome as well.

Agreed, I don't think we are out of the playoffs just yet but the cap situation this off-season is really f***ing us.

I don't know how Zito thought trading Chiarot for a 1st was the right move heading into an off-season where a pick like that could really help you get some more cap space. Terrible mistake on his part.

robert hagg is avail

Wonder why the Canes let him walk. He seemed like a really good fit there. And then to add more Burns on top of that.

Maarchment is a really good depth Forward and we could use him and it was great having him at 1 mil per but sorry, I don't see why the rush to sign him to a 4-5 million dollar contract. INterested to see the Trocheck number too for 7 years but oof, dont like that if above 5.
