GDT: Let the Free Agency Madness begin

[Stickpucker]

Said on mb....I want to see Bunting with KK and Svech.

Man teams would hate to play against that.

True, but I think Bunting was signed to the Marchment deal for the same reason why Marchment was originally targeted, AKA. to make the Aho line tougher to play against.

I want to see Rod add a wrinkle to the offense where not every f line plays the same game and puts Jarvis Aho and Necas together to attack off the rush.

I don't recall Necas and Aho playing together a ton but I'm sure @Boom Boom Apathy can correct me as I don't remember what I ate yesterday.

Miles Wood getting 6-years from COL. What the hell....

 

[CanesUltimate11]

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?

Potentially Calgary if they move Hanifan.

Potentially Calgary if they move Hanifan.

After recent events, I doubt Calgary is interested in acquiring any American players with a year left on their deal.

With the way Rod rolls the forward lines I don't think any forward we target is specifically to play with certain player(s). I would bet Bunting plays on every line at some point this year, and Marchment would have too if we got him.

Good point

Necas was Aho’s 3rd most common linemates 5v5 behind Jarvis and TT. Aho had 338 min with Necas, 661 without.

Killorn to Anaheim

 

[Svechhammer]

....and Orlov is legitimately good on offense. Our defense is filthy right now.

Have they sent a tweet about a presser yet?

Seems like in past years they have had an end of day press conference around 3-4. Hopefully they’re still at work trying to land a forward

Wow, $6.25M x 4 for Killorn, ew

yes. 4pm Eastern

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Most teams have had some head scratching signings so far and not really met their needs. I like ours so far

 

[ElmCityGuy]

From my limited research on Bunting he seems like a solid pickup. One site had him at #7, another at #9 on available free agents. 50 point guy that works around the net.

 

[Brock Anton]

That Killorn contract is awful.

 

[The Faulker 27]

That Killorn contract is awful.

Completely gross.

 

[Brock Anton]

Completely gross.

Bertuzzi might actually get the $7M+ on a long term deal now.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Completely gross.

Anaheim just trying to get a winger that will protect Carlsson, they don’t care if he doesn’t last

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

That Killorn contract is awful.

Anaheim is dogshit, though. They have the space to get that veteran leadership overpay until their young stud lineup is ready for action. Doesn't make the contract good, but simultaneously, I get why they did it.

[Brock Anton]

Was wondering when Dubas was gonna sign an ex-Leaf.

 

[Stickpucker]

Not all that surprised by what Kilorn got.

I wouldn't do it but at least 5 gms would sign that deal around the league.
