GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Today at Noon EST

[TheImpatientPanther]

You need to take out Denisenko to be cap compliant

Well that sucks then..

 

[batting1k]

i think losing Marchment is huge but I like the pieces we added for cheap. It feels like we’re going to be a lot more experienced and focused on all around team defense next year which I like.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Speaking of March. Dallas better hope he stays healthy and didn't benefit too much from Reinhart

Marchment gonna net at least ~4.5 of that $6 million in the first year of that deal for one really good year? Atta boy!

Anyone know a website that calculates the 5 million in salary and 1 mil signing bonus money in tax friendly Texas?

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Crazy to think we are still on the hook for $1M+ to Scott Darling. Tallon was so bad at most aspects of his job.

interesting structure. he could totally crater production-wise and still not be an albatross in yrs 3-4.

guess we should be happy to have arrived at that cap/contender status where you're forced to shed guys who have that potential.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

They seriously can’t put Lundell with 2 offensive black holes.

His development is way too important

Verhaeghe-Barkov-Reinhart
Huberdeau-Bennett-White
Balcers-Lundell-Horny
Lomberg-Luo-Cousins

extra- one of Eric Staal at 750k, Dalpe, Hepo, or Bunnaman

Weegar-Ekblad
Forsling-Gudas
Carlsson-Montour

extra- Marc Staal

Bob
Knight

You can make that lineup how you'd like using the above skaters but I don't see how Lundell gets 2 scorers with him. Panthers don't even have enough cap space to bring up Denisenko or Levtchi. The above roster is 80k under the cap lol.

Unless we move Bennett to wing and do

Huberdeau Lundell Bennett

We seriously cant be thinking Colin White in our top 6

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

We seriously cant be thinking Colin White in our top 6

Well, apparently Zito is thinking that. I really don't see him serving any particular purpose on this team.

"We just sort of looked at a player that had a certain skillset," Zito said. "Whitey is the kind of guy that can play wing and play center. It gives us utility across the board in the lineup. Yeah, come on in, play hockey, work hard and hopefully it's a good fit."

So he's center/winger who works hard and *crosses fingers* is a good fit.
Should be a healthy scratch for most of the season if not traded away at halfway into the season.

Unless you want to flip Lundell or Bennett to wing as @Gentle Man noted, or put Horny on the 2nd line, it looks like it, yeah. Lomberg, Luo, Balcers, Cousins, and Dalpe or whoever lol aren't playing there.

Lol.
Did you realize White was drafted 21st overall and scored 41 points as a rookie in just 71 games? Then injuries started to hit him hard but if healthy, he'll be a great addition. Also, his value goes way beyond points as he's excellent against the puck and started to play with an edge lately.

Can't be any worse than Tippett in the top 6 last season

Who says Lundell doesn‘t take Bennett‘s 2nd line center spot next year? We are all hoping learned a lot this year and comes back better right?

 

[HockeyRulez]

I don't think Lucas Carlsson is going to play over Marc Staal.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Denisenko / Sourdif

You can't field a cap compliant team with either of these guys unfortunately, that's how tight it is.*

*short of not carrying a 13th forward or 7th dman which I doubt Florida wants to do.

 

[vendetta]

Denisenko needs to be in ahl still. The guy needs to play games and minutes. He played 30 games last year. The most he’s ever played is 38 in 19-20 in the khl. He’s gotta stay healthy.

What's the problem with not carrying an extra body? teams do it nowadays, it's tight, maybe you play a couple games down a person, but that's rare. If we're supposedly a shoe-in for the playoffs anyways, no big deal.

 

[violaswallet]

I don't think Lucas Carlsson is going to play over Marc Staal.

I think they’re going to trade off a bit based on matchnup. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Gudas gets more time management this season

 

[vendetta]

There’s gotta be a bottom 6 trade. And one of monty or gudas gone.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

We still don't know what's happening with Weegar as well
