GDT: Let the Free Agency Madness begin

[Bub]

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?

Because they hate you, probably.

Blake Wheeler hasnt hit 20 goals in the last three seasons, and has struggled to stay healthy. He is 36. If that’s the scoring addition it would feel like we not only learned nothing from Patches we’re doubling down on a poor idea.

 

[SvechneJerk]

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 took the liberty of "signing" K'Andre to $5M AAV, which is the neighborhood of what I think he gets. Also added Quick for $1M. This is the reality of their situation. Anyone putting up a $4,290,124 OS to Laf screws them UNLESS they move Goodrow.

Sign Tank, ROR and Wheeler

Martinook Staal Fast - grumpy old men
Tank ROr wheeler - grumpier old men.

Canes media making fun of twitter

Lol

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)

If the Canes sign Tarasenko I will without a doubt wet my pants.

 

[chaz4hockey]

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

"Two league sources said that Drury has been quietly shopping Alexis Lafrenière, who is a restricted free agent."

 

[Negan4Coach]

Now that Duchene is bought out...what about getting him?

PSA: TweetDeck still works

 

[ElmCityGuy]

If twitter is down then how are the Canes making fun of twitter with a tweet on twitter?

 

[raynman]

Did the NHL Free Agency Frenzy break twitter? We’ll never know

 

[Bub]

I always dislike that we see announcements (like Quick to NYR) well before the opening bell. Part of the way it's done these days, of course, but I still don't like it.

 

[Lempo]

Is there a good show of the Free Agent Frenzy getting streamed anywhere?

There's an interesting development out of Carolina. According to Pierre Lebrun of TSN and The Athletic, goalie Frederik Andersen appears ready to test the free agent market, although there remains a possibility he still returns to the Hurricanes.

It would be worse IMO. Patches has been a legit goal scorer, something we need so there was a logical fit. Wheeler isn’t, and has never been a great goal scorer. He’s never hit 30 in his career and hasn’t hit 25 in the last 5.

That's a lot of words to say "He's going somewhere, probably today." Thanks, Pierre.

The TSN show is on the ESPN+ schedule.

Awesome thanks for the heads up

Which show is best for our purposes?

Dunno? NHL Network will also start at noon, but I don't know what feed they're using, or if it's all their own people.

 

[To Be Determined]

Meaningless predictions are fun, so i'll go with - if freddie moves on we go after korpisalo.
