GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[jaster]

Lindholm to Boston?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

These numbers are lunacy.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Perron to Sens. 4mil at 2 years.

 

[Ricelund]

Looks like Lindholm and Zadorov.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

What makes you think they aren't trying?

Yeah, it was pretty clear they were talking heavy on Stammer. Then Nashville decided to be idiots.

Then probably Roy or Marchessault.

And still talking Trouba.

It's a killer when you're in heavy on a guy and someone just walks in swinging a notably higher offer. Because you've then spent your time on a guy you ended up having no chance at.

 

[schuelma24]

Perron 2 years at 4m. Again…this is all a big
Nope from me.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Skjei to Nashville as Friedman predicted.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

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

Stevie is desperate to make the playoffs next year, improve his defense and make some splashes so people stop talking about his stupid Walman trade/early Christmas present.

 

[TCNorthstars]

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

Yup, my kid just partied up with him in Fortnite

 

[Run the Jewels]

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

The term and/or AAV is a bit much. This is what happens when free agency first opens up. I suspect Steve is working on some deals but obviously nothing to report on just yet.

 

[ZDH]

These contracts are f***ing awful. Detroit is the free agency winner so far by getting nobody at these prices.

 

[Petes2424]

If Ottawa is trading Pinto, Detroit should be all over that. He’s gonna be a beast in a year or two. He already is in many ways.

On Matt Roy, that term is just stupid. Once again, if Yzerman did that, he’d deserve criticism.

Let’s see how things play out but these are crazy contract teams will be running from later. These teams are gonna be looking to move other pieces now. Trades might be the better route.

 

[Hen Kolland]

This is the equivalent of falling into a shell to protect a two goal lead, but you’re actually the team behind by two goals

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

I agree... but I'm still real sore about no Stammer. It's almost unhealthy how much I wanted them to sign him this year after missing 8 years ago. But I realize 4x8 is a BIG BIG number for an old man.

 

[Euro Twins]

F*** Stamkos. I never like him anyways

 

[saska sault]

Ouf... Lindholm.... stay far away from this kind of shit.

Yzerman seems pretty sure he's not giving anyone term so far unless your Larkin or hopefully Mo and Ray.

Honestly, that seems like a more Stevie way of doing business anyway. Because FA, you're at the mercy of the market and have to move fast and pay too much. Trades when you breathe and the other team is desperate to clear space now that they've landed an overpriced FA are the way to go.

 

[SoupNazi]

f*** Boston.

 

[RRhoads]

Kane at 6.5 and only 4M on the cap this year is a bargain bin signing compared to some of these contracts

 

[minimal]

Not exactly the start to FA that I wanted see.

 

[Henkka]

Perron to Sens. 4mil at 2 years.

That's unbelieveable stupid contract.

Man that Sens is a mess. Probably last at Atlantic again, worse than MOntreal.

 

[DoMakc]

f*** Boston.

I think they kind of did it themselves

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

Red wings are winners of FA so far because Kane’s contract is reasonable and they’ve avoided crazy town.

Nashville is gonna be in cap hell for a long f***in time

 

[Henkka]

Man, that damn Boston.

They will the TOP Atlantic Team at next season.

Best even-strength lines 2 seasons ago.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Gaudreau - E.Lindholm - M.Tkachuk

Now they have that killer first line again.

 

[Detroit Knights]

mo and raymond are most likely going to get the 8 years at this point.

perron to ottawa is hilarious. He is a shell of what he potentially was, ottawa in the basement again.

Wouldn't mind pinto at all like Petes said, but kind of irritated with Roy.

just for funzies, mantha went to calgary lol

Boston is looking like a problem next year, but swayman and them are having issues with contract so hey, maybe not. they've had a bad history of swayman contracts.

nashville i think will actually be pretty good despite what some of you had said. It's the western conference, so even if they have older players or whatever, they will be able to play pretty well. Signing montour, stamkos, marchessault, and skjei is a big day and this year they will probably be fighting for top 3 in the western conference. especially with saros back there.
