GDT: July 1st - Free Agent Extravaganza

[Beacon]

LOL at Pouliot getting $20 over 5 years. I want his agent to do all the negotiations for me.

Nonis went to Europe yesterday to meet with Komarov.

A lot of money.

Seriously?

3 mil and 4 yrs for an unproven European journeyman?

How can Toronto afford Komarov, Phaneuf and Clarkson. All of those players are overpaid

 

[Trainmman]

Because Glass does everything Dorsett does, but better. Hits, blocks shots, fights well, and is fast.

The pick we got helps too with Dorsett.. but it's hard to swallow that 1.45 million that's all.

This is a 4th line player.. It's gross but he's not going to be expected to put up 80 points.

 

[GordonGecko]

gunna be pissed when Boyle + 1.45 mill is better than paying GLass 1.45

Out of our hands, Boyle refuses to stay on the 4th line it's not about the cash

Whoever loses on Miskanen will trade for Phaneuf.

 

[RGY]

A lot of money for Iginla

 

[Bullseyes]

I thought Iginla wanted to win? Colorado is a good enough team, but with that defense they still aren't cup contenders IMO.

 

[TurgePurge*]

If Glass isnt good he will be disposed of. Not worth *****ing about

 

[Zamboner]

Carcillo 13-14

4 goals

1 assist

5 pts


Glass 13-14

4 goals

9 assists

13 pts

Carcillo: 7 goals in 45 playoff games (2 for us)
Glass: 1 in 37 playoff games

 

[Hunter Gathers]

LMAO.

You're out to lunch here.

I would say that Glass and Dorse are similar players. I'd take Glass + 3rd round pick over Dorsett.

 

[MrEctions]

So much for Tampa being such huge players like everyone thought. I guess they could wind up with Niskanen, but they were clearing space like crazy and havent done **** yet.

Yes, and Glass is bigger and stronger AND can win fights when called upon. People need to keep it in context.

I'm with ya here glass and a pick is better than Dorsett

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

I'd take Glass in the AHL and a third round pick over Dorsett, sure.

Glass is an incompetent hockey player and if AV is serious about rolling 4 lines again, we'll run Fast-Moore-somebodyotherthanGlass

 

[Ail]

Lol three years of Tanner Glass

Always has to be one stupid signing.

 

[Hire Sather]

I don't care that he can win fights.

But I hope that Glass has played for AV before means something.

I mean how bad could he be.

Glass may well be in the AHL if he fails.

I'd prefer Lindberg on the 4th, FWIW.

Lindberg/Moore - Lindberg/Moore - Glass/Carcillo

 

[nevesis]

“@erlendssonTBO: Swedish outlet reporting #tblightning have signed Anton Stralman, 5 years at $4 million per, but no confirmation yet”

 

[Fitzy]

Poulot's contract is one of the worst I've ever seen.

Certainly explains why he left. We'll now probably see Stralman get a deal that rivals Girardi's.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

You're not kidding. It's not a devastating contract by any means, but it's funny how Sather never learns from his mistakes.

This signing has annoyed me more than the Dan Boyle signing.

 

[Sky Valley]

only 4 million per for stralsy and suuuuuddenly I hate the Boyle signing

 

[Hunter Gathers]

5x4 for Stralman to Tampa

 

[Hunter Gathers]

only 4 million per for stralsy and suuuuuddenly I hate the Boyle signing

I don't. 5 years is too much term.

 

[Ail]

Here's some context for you. The Rangers went to the finals last year and Dorsett, who can actually play hockey, was the best fighter until Carcillo was traded for. Someone who saw very little time in the playoffs.

THEY DON'T NEED A ****ING USELESS FIGHTER.
