GDT: Let the Free Agency Madness begin

[WreckingCrew]

I'm really not sold on wanting EK, even retained that contract could be rough in a couple years and doesn't really fit a need with Orlov. Overloading at D could be as bad as other teams overloading at F

Friedman is blowing the TSN crew away today in terms of getting deals first.

Lol TSN says [pundit] is off now for having his rate limit exceeded.

Crashing this plane…WITH NO SURVIVORS!

they are too busy breaking down why Toronto cant make every signing

I’m here right now. I don’t think we can judge without the full picture though.

It really, really, weirdly feels like the team is going to try to get Karlsson and then trade the entire 2nd pairing from last year. Assets from that trade can be used to get the final forward piece?

I’m sure it won’t go exactly according to plan that neatly, but that seems to be the direction based on the rumors…

I’ve always thought we’d be in on Karlsson. It’s an “us” move if we get the retention where it needs to be. He would change the pp and make all the forwards more dangerous.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

im looking at other rosters and who is going to be generally interesting in Skjei and Drury in a trade for a center? Im not seeing it any potentials. missing something?

They just don't care enough to sign everyone!

Between that and Button trying to do a shitty Stephen A impression, it's been awful to watch.

Making a huge change to the defense when that (well, that and the Devils having AHL goalies) got the team to the conference finals this year and has been the cornerstone of their success the past half decade is....well, if nothing else, interesting.

Yup. I left the house and am out running errands. I just check the trade board page for updates at this point. I can’t believe it hasn’t crashed. TSN was tough to watch.

Patrice Bergeron not retiring, signing with HCanes

Yes but it's on Twitter so Fuhrer Musk is making sure nobody is allowed to see it

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Reported on NHL Network that we have offered Tarasenko a short term deal (but Bunting/Orlov deals and still being in on EK not sure if that offer is still on the table), also mentioned Florida as a possibility for him. I'd love to add Tank for the PP and a true sniper.

Can’t tell if serious because Twitter is f***ed but deep down I know this is some kind of sick and twisted joke

i would also imagine we will tell every team that Svech will start the season on LTIR (if need be) so we wont be taken to the shed on trades.

a PPV i would actually buy

Because the Canes try to stay as flexible as they can from a cap perspective. I don't think anything's going to change all that much from a defensive perspective. It'll just mean that Orlov is going to play the Pesce role rather than him, it feels like.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Every time we've been mentioned for Karlsson I would have that nagging voice about Burns and Karlsson having not worked together. But it's my deep, dark secret that I really just want to say screw it and see the chaos of adding him to this team.

 

[Brock Anton]

This segment is why I enjoy the Leafs failing in the playoffs every year. The f***ing Dallas Cowboys of Canada, apparently.

 

[Svechhammer]

TSN is tripping all over themselves trying to explain why Matthews has a moral obligation to take less than market value in his extention

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

The reason Karlsson and Burns didn't work the first time was because San Jose's left side was a complete dumpster fire. My one concern was about Skjei's style of play maybe not being a great fit with Burns, but now with Orlov, there's enough defensive stability to effectively maximize the two's skillset at 5-on-5.
