GDT: Let the Free Agency Madness begin

[Nikishin Go Boom]

while i believe your post to be 100% factual, it does not fit my personal 'sign phil kessel' agenda, so i'm afraid i'll have to disagree vehemently.

I remember the illustrious podcast crew (the one podcast that is posted here) saying we should sign phil kessel to a 2 x 5 last year. Lol

 

[AD Skinner]

I would buy a kessel jersey day one if we signed him. I mean actually I wouldn’t because I’m broke and jerseys are stupid expensive but I’d be pumped about it is what I’m saying

 

[SvechneJerk]

I'm pretty sure it's already done and over with. The latest blurb I saw had it at $9.5 x 8

Yea, I meant the formality of it being signed & "officially" official. Sorry if I worded it poorly.

Phil Kessel at his presser sitting next to Rod....

Picks up a small snack of a foot long dog and out of nowhere Rod bitch slaps it out of his hand.

The gif would be priceless.

“Finish your day up with Billy..”

“Hey f*** you Roddy, bench me I don’t give a shit”

 

[AD Skinner]

“Finish your day up with Billy..”

“Hey f*** you Roddy, bench me I don’t give a shit”

Puts up 3 assists anyway

Rumor is Quick to Rags

 

[hblueridgegal]

Haha. f***in Elon

 

[Joe McGrath]

They qualified Coughlin? Ethan Bear all over again. Cup lost in June, nice work borg, Jesus f***ing Christ.

Seriously though, why did they qualify him?

From the NHL.com Free Agency Blog:

Andersen and Raanta are expected to return to Carolina. Hurricanes GM Don Waddell said as much Wednesday at the 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft in Nashville.

 

[hblueridgegal]

I think New Jersey, Carolina, Boston or Florida is a cut and paste trend.

[mikeyfan]

Tank expressed interest in being traded to Carolina a couple of years ago. I wonder if he could possibly be leaning our way now?

 

[hblueridgegal]

Maybe he'd be motivated to sign an OS now?

 

[The Faulker 27]

“Finish your day up with Billy..”

“Hey f*** you Roddy, bench me I don’t give a shit”

Jokes on him Phil's bong's name is Billy.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Twitter being down on today of all days is just so ****ing funny.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Surprising?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

im not surprised that Freddie isnt getting as much here as someone will overpay on the market,

What's the tl;dr?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

What's the tl;dr?

trying to trade Goodrow to no avail. Laf being shopped

I would do Drury, Noesen and our 24 1st for Laf. Not that the Rangers would accept but that meets their need for cheap depth. Saves us about 3 million in cap space going the O.S route and that gives them more than a 1st and a 3rd

 

[Svechhammer]

Friedman said in his latest that he expects us to be in on all the big FA names out there (Tarasenko, Bertuzzi, Orlov, Wheeler, etc)

Yea, but unless they can actually move Goodrow, they can't even afford the upper end of 2nd Rd pick compensation.

True but i don’t see them letting a 1OA go for a 2nd round pick compensation though. They would make it work at that point

I won’t be heartbroken if he goes but after kind of a down season he really did great in the playoffs

 

[Svechhammer]

Laf is apparently on the the market

I won’t be heartbroken if he goes but after kind of a down season he really did great in the playoffs

He deserved so much better in the playoffs than what our offense provided against Florida

 

[ElmCityGuy]

Ah, was coming to ask if anyone else’s Twitter was acting drunk. I’m getting “rate limit exceeded” when trying to refresh…

I dont have twitter.. old school here.
