GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[Bench]

How’s everyone like Tarzsenko?

He's not the game changer he was in his 20s, but at less than $5 million on the cap he's an upgrade to Perron in most areas (and I really liked Perron).

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Fabbri traded!

 

[Go Wings]

Can you list the ways Detroit got worse?

1. Holl is still on the roster
2. We have lost 38 goals between Sprong and Perron replaced by less, not to mention Perron's grit.
3. Trading Walman replaced by defensemen that are worse.
4. Losing Ghost's offense even though he is terrible on defense wasn't replaced.
5. We have 7 defensemen signed to NHL deals, once Seider signs, that doesn't include Ed or Johansson.

Having said all that we haven't gotten significantly worse but it doesn't matter Washington got a lot better and the top 4 teams in the division are far better.

Never liked perron so we can push that aside.

He didn't seem to be crazy important to florida like we are used to seeing from him. Seems like he is gonna be a guarantee of 15-20 goals and play around 69 (nice) games. I honestly don't know how he plays defensively, i know he can use the body; however, he is obviously a great addition to the PP.

A right side of Raymond - Kane - Tarasenko is not bad at all. Now we need the left side and maybe it could be something like DBC - Kyle Connor - Danielson. Would be amazing but obviously not happening

 

[RedHawkDown]

something is happening!!! somebody hold me back!!1

 

[Detroit Knights]

Fabbri traded!

okay so who is gage alexander

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

okay so who is gage alexander

Another goalie!!!

 

[Detroit Knights]

gotta mean something huge huge is about to occur. Trading Fabbri is a cap dump situation I think. I only say this cuz we have 10 forwards including raymond that are on the roster....whats going on boys?

Another goalie!!!

oh god that makes me so much more softer lets gooooooooooooooo!

 

[Winger98]

Uh oh. Burgers ice time on notice.

Same, dude.

EDIT - Didn't refresh, um... Tarasenko or Burgers there now?

I still like Burgers in the top6 and Tarasenko in Fabbri's spot. It'd be nice if Copp finds his legs again.

 

[TheOctopusKid]

Did anyone check on @Bench after adding another goalie? Is he okay?

 

[RedHawkDown]

Campbell
Husso
Lyon
Talbot
Cossa
Gage

6 goalies in the organization now. Something has to give, lol

The next Red Wing trade will likely be one of the goalies, I expect either Husso or Lyon. Will still need an actual 2nd pair Right D and no more Petry's or Holl's

Have to think they’re gonna get rid of Husso somehow to add a defenseman.

So now that Tarasenko is signed is everyone done losing their collective minds for a moment?

Can we breathe?

Or should we still trade everyone and blow the rebuild up and start again?

How could Yzerman have let Fabbri go?!?!?!

 

[Henkka]

How could Yzerman have let Fabbri go?!?!?!

There once was the 1st line of Fabbri - Larkin - Zadina.

I really miss those days.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

 

[GreatGordie9]

We have now over 20 million in cap space, and have to sign four RFA's Seider, Raymond, Berggren and Veleno. I like to see especially Seider and Raymond signed soon.

Let's not forget that's what people were clamoring for because Steve didn't pay 8.5-9x4 for Stamkos or 6x7 for roy

 

[RedHawkDown]

Now just get rid of Maatta, Holl, and Husso, and that's another 10 million of cap space. Then trade for a top defenseman. LETS GO

Well I'm sure after reading the comment section here Yzerman feels he can relax a bit and focus on signing them.

We know it won't be Trouba. Maybe we can pry Ekblad away from Florida. Send Holl out to pasture.

 

[Henkka]

NY Rangers additions at 2023 trade deadline:

- Patrick Kane
- Vladimir Tarasenko
- Tyler Motte
- Niko Mikkola


So it's Mikkola from Florida next to Detroit?
