GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Today at Noon EST

[16Skippy]

What is Pitt doing? Marino too …

Good for Matty though. Isn’t he from Montreal?

I think so. But I wouldn't say it's good for him lol

 

[Dr Beinfest]

So is that a wrap? Pretty bad free agency if so.

Wanted him a couple years back when we signed Wennberg but he's on a decline the last few years.

I don't think it was bad considering we have no cap space lol. I would rather this than give up all remaining draft picks to move Horny.

Yeah he's pretty bad now. Good ahl depth though. I like what Zito's doing. He went bargain bin hunting, and is stocking Charlotte with solid depth both for them and for us when injuries hit. If we acquire the new Marchy at the deadline(oops I did it again), and maybe a d-man or two, we'll have plenty of depth fot the playoffs.

Yeah, giving up those picks is not an option.

Looks like too many men in our roster

Ya just AHL depth, no more SEA duo so we need to fill out the roster now.
A couple more to come on forward

Looks like too many men in our roster

capfriendly has us at 43/50 contracts.

13 NHL forwards
8 defensemen
2 goalies

10 forwards in AHL
8 defensemen in AHL
2 goalies in AHL

Think we may sign another couple vet AHL guys to get closer to 45-47 before camp starts.
We have the PTOs as well.

Cap blinking red, Zito trying to throw some stuff at the wall here. A couple will work, a couple won't. Such is life.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Tierney is just another body competing for 13th forward

So is that a wrap? Pretty bad free agency if so.

I think of the top 3 atlantic teams Florida got the least worse if that makes sense lol

Yeah none of Toronto, Tampa or even Boston did anything to significantly improve their team over Florida. Honestly, the top 4 could finish in the same order again depending on injuries

 

[kerrabria]

I can't imagine Tierney gets a look in the NHL. He's a minor league player to fill bodies in Charlotte.

Interesting bit from Elliotte on his podcast.... apparently we offered our 2024 1st for James van riemsdyk but philly turned us down.

That makes no sense for us to offer that and for Philly to turn it down

 

[Gentle Man]

Which other cast-off, declining, fallen off, unwanted Senator are we signing next


f***ers going to sign Dany Heatly tomorrow to a 3 way contract or what?

Uhhh Florida doesnt have the cap and no way they would be adding a 1st. Maybe it was Bob and a 1st for jvr. That would make sense.

Remember we’re not sharing an AHL team this year, gotta stock their roster too.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

That's what I was thinking too. Still wouldn't make sense though. It depends when this offer was made because Philly would still be over the cap with Bob and taking back both Hart and JVR makes us worse IMO

I guess we could've also bought out JVR and just have it be a pure Bob dump. I dunno, kinda doubt this had much traction.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I can't buy this because I refuse to believe Bob is stupid enough to be willing to move to Philadelphia.

Why not? Reunite with Torts

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Yup. I would expect two more fwd signing just for depth purposes for the Checkers. Can't really go wrong with Tierney there.

 

[16Skippy]

The JVR thing I'm pretty sure what he said was PHI was trying to use our '24 1st to dump JVR.

Philadelphia Flyers Acquire: Owen Tippett 2023 3rd round pick (FLA) 2024 1st round pick (FLA) [Conditional]* *Conditions: If the pick is a top 10 selection, Philadelphia will instead receive Florida's 2025 1st round pick.

​

We might get the 2024 1st pick back

Oh that was actually a nice thought by Zito. We still don't have the cap to buy JVR out though lol.

Definitely at that price tag, he was paid accordingly for 2 years in SJ and then in OTT was handed another 2 year deal but his TOI was cut as the depth took over.

Sens fans saying he plays very disinterested and almost checked out but will put up points if carried by others.
Reminds me of Connolly, can check in for a portion of the game and produce and then checks out and becomes a liability on defensive side of things.

Only hope is he's ready for either league, AHL or NHL but not overly expecting a big return here.

Think Balcers was the key signing here, still RFA and has another level to hit, still hungry to make some money which should motivate him further.

I'd like to see a Balcers - Lundell - Reinhart/Duclair line if possible.
