GDT: July 1st Free Agent Frenzy (TSN free agent tracker in post #1)

[Random Forest]

McKenzie breaking everything early is kind of a dick move. I would expect he gets some blowback from TSN on this.

Its very anti-climatic to have this stuff trickle out early on Twitter.

Do people really need to have UFA signings revealed via a show for it to be climatic? I prefer it being dumped on Twitter like this.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

its a social media internet world. If Bob McKenzie doesnt break anything early than someone else would.

The Alzner contract really isn't dreadful. GMs have gotten much better at controlling themselves when it comes to UFA's

Considering the condition of Alzner's hands and his dramatic decline in play at age 28. I would say 5 yrs is pretty dreadful

And now we don't need to listen to them bull**** to kill time for half an hour between each piece of news.

I don't mind FA stuff leaked

If Bobby Mac was tipping all the draft picks like that ****** La Confornia at NFL draft then it would be problem

Oh my.

Unless it is a one year deal that is nuts!

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Switching in Pav for Raanta is like switching a tasty wagyu steak for a bucket of mixed bug entrails.

Pavelec is a guy that every year for the past couple years I think he's going to break out (Lehtonen is another) and they just keep dumping. I bet he'll do it this year since he's on the Rags.

that isnt news. that is just riding the speculation that has been going on all week.

Have heard NJD, NYR, BUF connected this week. Didn't know Bos was a front runner. Seemed like NJD were clearing $ for a big splash.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Read the string of replies to this Rosen tweet. NYR fans know what to expect.

I say they are one injury away from finishing in the bottom of the conference.

 

[kudymen]

Just to make sure, official announcements can be expected in... an hour and a half? I genuinely forgot whether it's 6pm CET or not

Yessir.

thanks!

I'd like jags here. Rest him half the year.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

I so want us to sign Jagr and then have all the rookies sit next to him in locker room.

there is a link on the Bruins board that says Pierre McGuire said on tsn radio earlier in the week on the Bruins connection.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

MDZ contract is a good value, but Gagner? Sheesh.

 

[TheKingPin]

MDZ contract is a good value, but Gagner? Sheesh.

3x3 is far too much for Gagner, but on a rebuilding team who cares? I'm sure he had offer for less money on other teams but he decided to cash in which is smart.

[bennysflyers16]

Sounds like 2x4 for Mase. He and agent must be a bit humbled. Not Biron level, but I knew he would take a pay cut

 

[bennysflyers16]

Those are solid deals on Shatt and Alzner
