GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Today at Noon EST

[iam76]

what about Jonathan dahlen. he lit us up good last year

 

[iam76]

doesn't a few teams owe us future considerations? time to cash in ?

 

[16Skippy]

Its bizarro world, Dorion has won the off season so far. Only 25%? Nuts.

He’s a GM

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

We do have a 10% cap cushion we can go over if need be but have to be cap compliant by game 1 or start of September?

Official day for the rosters to be filed. Which is a couple of days before the start of the season.

 

[ShootIt]

Surprised at how quiet it is for Panther news/rumors the day before FA.

 

[I am not exposed]

Malkin is one of my favourite players, but considering how injury prone he is, do we really want to commit so much cap space to him? It's not like we have loads of cap space to play with!

I’d rather try Giroux than bringing Geno… And I love Geno.

Come on Zito… DO something !

 

[Necrobutcher]

Balcers is an interesting player for sure. Other cheap but good value names i've thought about are Kurtis MacDermid, Nikita Nesterov, Janne Kuokkanen, Danton Heinen etc. Oh and this is a triggering one but how would you feel about Corey Perry?

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I can't see an exciting day for Florida tomorrow, it's either

sign 2 league minimum dudes and wait till Duke is back in January

or trade Horny for nothing to bring back one of marchment/giroux. sign 2 league minimum dudes and deal with Duke's salary when he's ready to come back.

Like there's a good chance Florida's day is sign a Bulcers type and Thornton again and that's it lol

Well, at least we will get to the finals!

Perry still has 1 more year with the Bolts.

 

[Necrobutcher]

Perry still has 1 more year with the Bolts.

Ah damn. I was 100% he signed a one year contract with them. Oh well, never mind!

 

[KW]

.....Jesus Christ?

Can he play D?

No, he’s a goalie! “Jesus saves!”

(Those old enough remember the joke… “Jesus saves! And Esposito scores on the rebound!”)

 

[Gentle Man]

An hour of and 40 minutes till buyout window closes.

Patric Hornqvist Puts His Penguins Equipment in Driveway

Former Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Patric Hornqvist made a strong public statement on Friday. The winger hinted at his hurt and to being offended when the Penguins traded him to the Florida Panthers for defenseman Mike Matheson and fourth-line winger Colton Sceviour. Hornqvist had a no-trade...

Can someone please pass by Horny's house to see if his Panthers gear is in the driveway? we need to know if something is going down

 

[BB88]

I still feel like we will see a Bobrovsky to the Capitals deal… Don’t know why, but I don’t feel like Kuemper is their target !

Campbell will go to Oilers from all we hear, and Kuemper will go to the Devils… I don’t believe NJ wants to run with Vanecek as their numero uno this year.

But imo… Washington wouldn’t have cleared their goalie situation without a known alternative ready, and they couldn’t (or it would be tampering) know for sure if Kuemper will sign with them sooooo… It must be Bob.

I know, I may be dreaming or crazy, but I feel it !

Everyone has Kuemper going to Was.

 

[Gentle Man]

No whispers is disconcerting.

Hornqvist might be a Panther by the end of the day.

Dwork posted something: they tried to trade him but no one is willing to take him at full price. Dwork speculates we could get something back if retaining but I guess it's a bit more complex.

On eve of free agency, cap space coming at a premium for Bill Zito and Panthers

The NHL’s annual free agency frenzy will begin on Wednesday at Noon ET.

even then we could just keep him and play him more.. it's not like he can't go to the net... also has a ton of heart.. his tank isn't empty yet.. but yah...

Eh, saving 3.5M is big. That could be enough to keep Marchment

 

[Gentle Man]

buyout window is closed. And no word on us using it.

So it's either trades, or just ignore tomorrow altogether.

Or value signings with the Duke money

 

[RCGP2]

I believe if you take someone to arbitration you can use a 2nd buyout window. I bet the team qualified Bowlby pretty much only for this reason.

 

[RCGP2]

Buyouts Outside of the Regular Period​

Clubs whom have 1 or more arbitration filings may be permitted to perform a buyout outside of the regular window. This gives teams another opportunity to become cap compliant following an arbitration case.

Clubs are permitted to perform a buyout outside the regular period during the 48 hour period beginning on the third day after the final of [CBA 13(c)ii]:

1. Settlement of the Club's final arbitration case, or
2. Receipt of the Club's last arbitration award

Requirements:

1. A buyout can only be performed on a player who was on the clubs reserve list at 3:00pm on the most recent trade deadline
2. The player must have a cap hit of at least $4,000,000 for the 2022 offseason

So they could continue to try and trade Hornyqvist until Bowbly's case is settled, and could buy him out at that point. Teams can go 10% over the cap in the offseason so money could be spent before buying Hornqvist out if he's not traded.
