GDT: Let the Free Agency Madness begin

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Bit pricey on Orlov but great term and we can afford it.

I think now you re-sign Peace given Burns gone in 2 yrs and Morrow unknown. Sell high on Skjei for assets. Nikishin replaces Orlov in 2 yrs. Sign a scorer. We could still do TDA but not necessary.

Slavin-Burns
Orlov-Pesce
Chatty-TDA-UFA

UFA?

I think you mean Dylan Coghlan!!!

 

[Svechhammer]

Love those comments from JFresh about Orlov. Sounds like a great player even with our stacked blue line.

That sounds f***ing amazing, and especially if we can trade one of, or both of Pesce and Skjei to get a legit top 6 forward that provides much needed offense.

I mean shit if we can dangle Skjei and Pesce, we are looking at getting at least one top tier player on offense, maybe 2.

And if we go 3 team trade to combine assets, we could conceivably get an elite top line kind of player. This could get stupidly interesting

Cap Friendly has Kochetkov as buried Penalty at $850,000 X 4

 

[Borsig]

No. You absolutely bring TDA back a 2.5m. That's a steal and you're crazy if you don't.

 

[HisIceness]

Slavin - Burns
Orlov - Karlsson
Chatfield - TDA

Pesce & Skjei traded for assets to help us land a top forward?

Holy moly yes please. And I love Pesce and Skjei but this would be great use of the cap space especially since both are 1 year away from UFA status.

Lol AI goalie piece on TSN

Lol AI goalie piece on TAN

Canucks just signed it at 4x5M

doesn't hurt to have depth but that cap space could be better utilized elsewhere now that we have 2 PP QBs on the roster. But I do think it still goes through and I'm good with it if so

 

[TheOllieC]

It's not borderline, he's a 1D and has been for awhile.

Yes I would say that. I was trying to keep it in my pants though.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Bunting? okay.....

3 years, better be a low AAV

 

[Brock Anton]

Get EK, keep one of Skjei/Pesce, put Burns on Aho’s wing.

Foolproof plan.

 

[htdoc]

we likely gave Patches more guaranteed money but no Bonus money. We likely do not want to carry cap to cover his bonuses this season and definitely dont want to carry his bonuses next year. Capitals dont care.

We can have the bonuses count this year if we have the cap room to cover it…. It’s an option that most teams dot take because they are trying to use the bonuses to get under cap this year but since we aren’t in cap hell we use the rule as it was intended just to protect an injured player not being the same when they come back…

right but we didnt want to carry the money to cover his bonuses for whenever they are earned.

Same agreed! I think we'd have preferred one or both of them to sign a team friendly deal but that doesn't seem to be going well. It's just smart to flip in similar/better players and not let players walk.

 

[A Star is Burns]

This AI goalie thing is neat, but seems like a trade deadline thing when nothing happens (since it all happens early). Stuff is actually happening today.

 

[Svechhammer]

RIP, Twitter

[mikeyfan]

What is going on with Pytor? Did the Canes release him? Why is he buried on Cap Friendly?

 

[SeaBasstian]

Bunting......3 years?

 

[Bub]

Canucks just signed it at 4x5M

LOLOL Biron just said it should sign the same deal! Put me on TSN! LOL

3rd string goalie

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

What is going on with Pytor? Did the Canes release him? Why is he buried on Cap Friendly?

cuz he is still has waivers eligibility and folks cant believe we would carry 3 active goalies

 

[User13452]

Don’t get the bunting deal

 

[Tryamw]

Net front Presence.

Skjei would be a sell high transaction given his past season.

I gather Brady and Brett decided on their Craribbean break vacation together to play contract hardball.
