GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[Leetch3]

I think we'll probably see a Fleury buyout if they get Pietrangelo. Doesn't get them all the way there, but it's a significant step in that direction.

they can't buy him out till the 2nd window...AP will be signed before that.

 

[Tawnos]

they can't buy him out till the 2nd window...AP will be signed before that.

Yeah, but there's a 10% off-season cushion, so if they have to wait until then, it's no big deal.

 

[Mikos87]

Don't think you will find many UFA upgrades anymore. Trade time.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Making almost half a million dollars and living in San Diego is the life, good for Vinni

As someone who has spent a lot of time in that city, and has family and friends who live there, yeah, Vinni won the life lottery. He's a pro athlete who will automatically be in top shape, making a lot of money, in a city with lots of beautiful people. Hypergamy will lead him to wife up.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Didn't Hoffman sign with the Oilers?

The list I posted is fluid. It's going to decrease by the minute.

 

[Avery16]

Where LV is, what AP wants, and that 10% cushion is all pretty tight.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

What happened with Brass getting a extension with the islanders?

Islanders have serious cap issues. They have bigger fish to fry than Brass.

[bobbop]

With Krug going to STL and Brodie to TOR, I really don't see where Pietrangelo is going other than VGK. Who else would have the space outside of maybe Columbus? Maybe the Canucks if they miss out on Barrie, but they have huge contracts looming for Pettersson and Hughes next season.

Florida, Philadelphia for two

 

[rangers1314]

Smith to Boston should put those loose Strome rumors to bed

 

[Machinehead]

At this rate, I'll take Johnson again just to do something.

 

[broadwayblue]

Yawn

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I actually wasn’t expecting big moves this offseason but hopefully JG has more up his sleeve. The bottom of the lineup still needs to be shored up in a bad way.

 

[bobbop]

All seems quiet on the Jesper Fast front. Wonder where we stand with him?

 

[bbny]

Offer sheets incoming. TB is cap f***ed.

 

[duhmetreE]

Time to go in for the kill... Go get Cirelli or Sergachev so I dont have to hear about JJ

 

[GAGLine]

Yeah, but there's a 10% off-season cushion, so if they have to wait until then, it's no big deal.

Vegas doesn't have any players up for arbitration, so they won't get a 2nd buyout window.

 

[Tawnos]

Vegas doesn't have any players up for arbitration, so they won't get a 2nd buyout window.

That's a very good point. Damn, so they'll have to try to do this entirely through trades.

 

[duhmetreE]

Tuch and Martinez for Jack Johnson

BOOM -7.5M savings

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Offer sheets incoming. TB is cap f***ed.

Surprised a bottom feeder F starved team didn’t grab him

 

[Vitto79]

All seems quiet on the Jesper Fast front. Wonder where we stand with him?

Well is Smith a comparison ? Fast should be less no?

 

[Avery16]

I remember someone on here telling me Greiss was a scrub back when he was with Arizona.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

All seems quiet on the Jesper Fast front. Wonder where we stand with him?

good question, my guess is that the only way he stays at like 2.5 mil is if we trade Strome or ADA in a cap friendly deal
Fast could make a better LD than the cast we’ve assembled, ha

 

[Vitto79]

Offer sheets incoming. TB is cap f***ed.

I would guess we see Killorn and Coburn dumped now for a whole lotta jack and squat

 

[duhmetreE]

TB has to sign
Sergachev $5M+
Cirelli $4-5M
Cernak $3-4M

Say $13M. They have around 3M in space... they will need to replace whoever they ship out.

It's a mess for them but at least the won the cup before it happened. Vasilevskiy is a great goalie but I'm weary of spending nearly 12% of cap on a goalie.
