GDT: Let the Free Agency Madness begin

[Svechhammer]

Can’t be in on karlsson still can we wow

Why the f*** not. Let Waddell cook

 

[DaveG]

Its happening?

Hopefully rod doesn’t pop a blood vessel at Vlad’s little care for back checking and defense

We need a 100 foot player, even a 50 foot one.

Though I don't recall him being say Patrick Kane bad defensively in St Louis.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Oops

Seravalli not backing down

 

[To Be Determined]

Shayna knows her stuff.

Hedged a bit with the "sounds like" but her posting that is enough to get me halfway...

 

[Svechhammer]

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

You guys expect a player or two traded out if Tarasenko stuff is true?

Also still expect Canes to go after TDA? Or did Orlov signing change that?

Waddell confirmed the other day that they still plan on executing the TDA deal.

Also, yes. I expect a trade or two.

Think TT is possibility to be on way out?

 

[hblueridgegal]

Is this the knockoff account or the original?

Could be a long with whichever of Pesce or Skjei isn't willing to extend via our terms

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

His one follow is Eric Tulsky lol

 

[Brock Anton]

Think TT is possibility to be on way out?

Possibly. If we get Tarasenko, it’ll depend on the contract but If we’re still gunning for EK, we’re gonna have to move money (Pesce, Skjei, TT).

 

[DaveG]

So the real question is if the Finnish draft class this year has a guy named Simo.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

If we are still gunning for EK, then I absolutely love this front office. Balls of steel

 

[hblueridgegal]

Sorry!

 

[Brock Anton]

That’s a fake account.

 

[Stickpucker]

Deleted faker

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Of course the Devils are in on it.

Check the 0 in the @

She's very plugged into the NY scene. If she's reporting it, it's pretty much done

 

[Led Tasso]

Tarasenko, Orlov share bond ahead of season opener Apparently Orlov and Tarasenko grew up together. That probably helped our cause if he is indeed a Cane.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

We’re all big Shayna fans tonight, gotta hope this is a big W for her…

 

[hurricure]

Nothing else reported on Tarasenko yet? I will limit my excitement temporarily… damn I want it to happen but usually once it gets reported all the insiders jump on it



Refresh….. refresh…. Refresh

Reminder if you fix cap friendly broken cap listing for us and remove Pono, Rees, and Suzuki from our projected roster we have :

$5.3m+ in cap space right now with Drury and Svech counting against the cap to make 12 forwards
$13m+ in cap space right now with Svech on off season LTIR and only listing 11 forwards including Drury. We can go over the cap by 8.3m+ during the summer as well while we sort out our cap. See Toronto. Not ideal to do it and make yourself vulnerable to other teams trying to steal from you because you got yourself above the cap… but it can be done in the summer,,, them’s the rules and others are already doing it.

that includes Orlov and Bunting and Skjei/Pesce. It doesn’t include TDA at half price because it isn’t JULY 9th and we haven’t officially traded for him yet…

it all comes down to what the AAV is and term on any Tank deal.

we can still sign Tank and trade for Karlsson retained and be summer cap compliant while Svech on LTiR and not have to trade Skjei/Pesce to do it.

we can still get EK and Tank and be cap compliant with Svech not on LTIR depending on the AAV of Tank and how much salary is retained on a Karlsson deal with a trade of one of the Skjei/Pesce pairing…. We can own rental Skjei and run him on the 3rd pairing with Chatfield and still be compliant depending on the money. We don’t have to trade a bunch of players to make it work, don’t get distracted by cap friendly mistakenly showing Suzuki, Rees, and Pono on our roster counting against the cap…
