GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[DamonDRW]

For some reason I have this feeling we're gonna get Lindholm...

Me too. But please not 8x8.

[Frk It]

It would have been nice to get Pesce and Toffoli at or around the deals they got.

I’m a little bummed about that at the moment.

[norrisnick]

LOL

 

[jkutswings]

I'd like to edit my previous take on Stamkos. If Nashville is paying $8M x 4, that's more money that I'd be ok with. But the premise on term still holds.

Hopefully Detroit still lands some good players today.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Matt Roy to Washington for 5,5 x 7 years.

Yeah give me Trouba for 2 at the same amount

 

[DatsDeking]

Would have liked Stamkos but not at $8. The OTT trade is brutal.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Friedman was right, Roy signs with the Caps. $5.5 mil ain't bad but the 7 year term seems a bit long.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

Roy signed also with WSH, crap. But 7x5,5...YUCKITY YUCK

 

[SoupNazi]

Lol Sens.

 

[norrisnick]

Term, doubt Steve was going to go anywhere near 7. rip

 

[Ricelund]

Matt Roy to Washington for 5,5 x 7 years.

Damn, thought he was our guy.

 

[saska sault]

Hmmmm lots going on and not much smoke around Detroit. Yzerman may say F these free agent prices.

Washington is really not letting Ovechkin go peacefully into retirement. Don't blame them, but that's another Eastern team to worry about.. really thought they were a fluke team with their goal differential this past season.

 

[ZDH]

Ottawa is a joke

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Gotta get Trouba on board.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Looking like Stevie is going to have to circle back to Trouba.
NY is gonna smell his desperation.

 

[datsyukfan]

Are we going to do anything? Why pay to clear cap when we aren’t even going to use it

What makes you think they aren't trying?

Other way around man... NY wants to get out of the $8M

 

[saska sault]

10 minutes into free agency, it's a marathon not a sprint.

Cap space doesn't expire.

 

[schuelma24]

This market is crazy and I hope we stay out of it.

 

[sepster]

Nope. 10 mins in and Yzerman called it a day.

Trouba is going to be this years Nielsen/Weiss/White.
