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

[Hollywood Cannon]

Nice...

 

[kudymen]

I would like Jagr to PHI for nostalgia reasons + for the youngsters to see the work ethic, but him with McDavid would be probably amazing

 

[whitstifier]

Apparently, in May, his wife was down here--around Cary--to buy a house. I guess I'll be seeing a lot of Williams either way

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

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

Pfft. You should be inside my head. Biological clock, Asian time zone, stuff happening back in America. God only knows what time it is here or anywhere. Total mess.

Getting the month right is the priority number one

Sounds like Hanzal will get 3 years in Dallas.

So it's sounding more like a buyers market this year.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Awesome, that's exactly what I was hoping. He's not as good as his reputation and he is going to hamstring them from getting anyone better. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

I honestly think it's a good deal for them if true. He should be productive throughout that whole contract if it's four years.

It was July for me before almost anyone else I'll forget by tomorrow, though lol right around the time Carchidi is breaking the news that Weal has re-signed with us.

Just cleared up a bunch of space only to use it back up again. Shattenkirk was terrible in the playoffs, but don't know how much of that was due to being thrust into a new team

Yeah, it's not the term or anything particular about the contract that I think is bad for them - I think he's the wrong guy for that team to be signing at a significant cap hit. He's good and everything, I'm not trying to say he isn't, but I don't think he's going to come anywhere near pushing them over the top, and they aren't going to be able to be very flexible because of that contract, I think.

Now wait Seravalli says it's fake news (I'm on mobile so I can't post tweet)

Seravalli should put "Fake news" in his twitter bio

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

Wouldn't mind bringing JVR back via trade. TML needs defense. Maybe something around Hagg or Morin +?

vanRiemsdyk - Giroux - Voracek
Lindblom - Couturier - Simmonds
Filppula - Patrick - Konecny
Laughton - Lehtera - Read
Raffl
Weise

 

[Hurricane28]

Someone should have fact checked when 6.9 AAV was reported

 

[FLYguy3911]

Can't wait to see the numbers Alzner and Weber put up together..

They're basically screwed from the end of Sather's tenure. They got Lundqvist signed to that deal so it's hard to really go scorched earth rebuild.

Hagg, 2nd, Read

I think ultimately Washington was the wrong team for him. They didn't need him. Their PP was working fine without him and they had enough depth on defense already. They needed a true #1 defenseman and that's not Shattenkirk.

The Rangers on the other hand could use a guy like him. They have their #1 defenseman in McDonagh, but they could use some help on the power play.

I think it's a good deal for both the Rangers and Shattenkirk.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Hagg, 2nd, Read

What happened?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

That is going to depress at least one penis and several million mongrels.

 

[tade]

What happened?

Hagg, 2nd, Read for Duchene or JVR, obviously.

 

[Flyerfan13]

What happened?

I think that's a jvr trade offer ? We don't want him back
