At least he has a M-NTC. My ears perked up to check and see if he had some trade protection because if he didn’t, that comment would be a lot more interesting.

Quality trumps everything. People have been saying the same thing about Boras for over three decades at this point. They may hate him, but that’s not his problem. They still call.

How about signing a former 1st overall pick center, captain of the Lightning, and cup champ in his mid 30s?

Don't we already have York, Drysdale, and Andrae though?

On the one hand he does seem to be a dick, but on the other, teams have no problem using loopholes to screw players over, like waiving a guy and having your buddy claim him to get around his NTC.

Adam Boqvist being bought out. Any interest in him being brought in to rotate with Drysdale between the lineup and IR?

Yeah I mean do you want an agent that’s well liked by everyone or one that’s considered a pain in the ass?
Overhardt has one of the bigger agencies in the sport, so he has a really good client list under his agency. So if you don’t want to deal with him you’re potentially closing yourself off to some quality players.
Also at the end of the day the agent works for the player not the other way around. If the player wants something or doesn’t want something that’s what the agent is going to do.

I honestly don’t think Tampa is a major threat to win anymore. Their prospect pool is barren, they’re aging, they overpaid a lot of depth guys. Could you imagine them even making playoffs if Kucherov sat a year again?
If I’m Guentzel, I think Carolina has a better chance to be the next up and coming Cup team. Their core is younger, they’re loaded on prospects and picks. Always competing for the ECF. I don’t really get it. Unless Carolina wasn’t interested at the price or some behind the scenes reasons.

The reporting is that they met his asking price (8x8) and he informed them during the draft that he won't be re-signing. So it sounds like he just doesn't want to be there.

Or he got too close to July 1 and figured he’s too close not to test the market. The money will be there for him.

No state tax, better weather, and a beach.
If I had a Cup I'd prefer Tampa too.
You would fail the Flyers pre-draft interview.
It’s not Calgary though. North Carolina is pretty darn nice too.

Sure, definitely could be. For the sake of completion, this is the reported timeline from Cory Lavalette:
Midweek Guentzel asks for 8x8.
Thursday morning Carolina offers it.
Guentzel's agent says he wants to think about it.
Then they informed at the draft they wouldn't be re-signing.

They do have Bojangles and Hardee's going for them. I'd def look like Alejandro Kirk if I lived there.It’s not Calgary though. North Carolina is pretty darn nice too.

Meh I played there (Raleigh in fact) in the middle of the summer one year and players were passing out it was so damn humid. Tampa at least has the Bay breeze. And a sick bar scene if that's your thing.

But Tampa is located in the unfortunate state of Florida. Where at least 70% of the people are total mutants.

I hate this team
My wife calls him "fat boy Kirk" and makes me rewind the game when he gets the occasional hit, just to laugh at him running.
