GDT: Free Agent Frenzy!

[Der Jaeger]

Brian Gionta on After the Whistle after Eichel was traded.

Did everyone just not remember any of this?

CERN made us all forget. Mandela something something

[Dirty Dog]

My hatred for Peters and Rivet knows no bounds


6x6* in 3 years when they suck then its 6x3 to move.

I just don’t care enough about them to hate them. They are just too dumb

Brian Gionta on After the Whistle after Eichel was traded.

Did everyone just not remember any of this?

I don’t. But I also don’t listen to podcasts

 

[HOOats]

How is the Eichel snit new to people?? That came out shortly after he was dealt, from Brian Gionta as part of the talk about how Eich didn't want to listen to anyone and how he acted was toxic as f***.

This is old f***ing news.

My favorite quote from that episode, which I believe was the opening line:

"Jack Eichel is a f***ing piece of shit" - Craig Rivet

 

[OkimLom]

really? like Chain spouts off on falsehoods and rumors?

I trust Chain to provide accurate information, that doesn't mean I should be accepting of things 100% just because of the person saying something. Asking for a source so I can review myself, shouldn't be that big of an issue.

 

[TageGod]

I did know Gionta talked bad about Eichel, just not what was said.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Mandela something something

Like the Berenstein bears, 60% of people in buffalo believe it was Leino who threw the tantrum at breakfast. But it was actually eichel

 

[Chainshot]

I would like it if it's Aube-Kubel and say Sam Lafferty.

 

[TageGod]

I just don’t care enough about them to hate them. They are just too dumb

I enjoy the radio talk when its on, I just hate those dinosaurs.

 

[DapperCam]

We need a good and proven top 6 or top 9 winger.

I think we can do that in a trade. But you are right that we need something there, or one of Benson, Greenway, Krebs, Savoie or Kulich will have to play on a line above their heads.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Eichel during his first training camp threw a hissyfit during a team breakfast by throwing an omelet at the staff chef. He's always been an entitled prick and I'm tired of commentary about him like he was some sort of paragon while he was in Buffalo.

That's not the point, so please, respectively do not put words in peoples mouths. The point is he has obviously contributed to this giant sinkhole we are in by furthering that the organization in not only incompetent but disingenuous on top of everything else. Like I said it will be a interesting read.

We all need to choose a side if we genuinely want this to change. Booing Eichel once a year won't do it.

 

[Mattilaus]

If it is, it was a fun hobby the last 15 years.

Was it though? I am still waiting for the fun to start.

 

[Jim Bob]

6x6* in 3 years when they suck then its 6x3 to move. It was mostly my value of a 60 point winger.

I doubt you get a quality top 6 winger for 6x$6M as a UFA unless they are already in their 30s and good luck with that.

That is what Tarasenko or Bertuzzi were needing to get offered to sign here.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I would like it if it's Aube-Kubel and say Sam Lafferty.

Yes, yes that would be good

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

I'm sorry but why are we talking about Eichel?

 

[Chainshot]

I did know Gionta talked bad about Eichel, just not what was said.

Gionta wasn't the only one who said Eichel was a festering boil. And he didn't do it until pressed hard by others to spill the tea.

And now back to things about today's free agency.

 

[Gabrielor]

They were always going to have a tough time getting a big name in free agency. They have to wait for the secondary trade market to open up after the initial free agent frenzy. I’m not telling that will work out. But its where they have the best chance to do something.

I see no path where they aren't 8-10 million under the cap, if not more.

and therefore, Skinner buyout was indeed not about team building, but money saving. Terry gave up a long time ago, and I guess I'm just catching up to that.

OK. that's fair.
but lots of shit about what goes on behind the scenes with these entitled little pricks goes unsaid, unless you know someone that knows someone.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Friedman: Lindholm and Zadorov likely going to Bruins

 

[Fjordy]

Is this thread about UFA or about Eichel and Gionta? Stop it!

 

[Chainshot]

I'm sorry but why are we talking about Eichel?

Precisely. Moving on.

I just disagree that these things MUST be connected. Skinner being bought out can be 100% a hockey decision and we still don't spend the extra money.
