Somebody needs to synch this up to Kung-fu fighting. They'd get dozens of like and re-tweets.

Blues 2023 NHL Free Agency Grade
The St. Louis Blues have not been active at all in NHL Free Agency, and it seems the franchise has committed to retooling next season.

TDA to Carolina 1/$1.6. Don’t know what to say about this. Seems a bit off to me

I'd say it was entirely predicatable.
And it's less than half what Ghost is making, and Ghost is two and a half years older.

Not exactly a great endorsement of the Flyers even it wasn’t intended.

It's something I called when we were buying him out. Was fully predictable. Flyers got played because of Tortorella. Everyone knew he was leaving either via trade or buyout. Carolina ends up waiting to sign him for free instead of trading.

Rumor: - Tony DeAngelo being traded back to Carolina next month but he also could not be.
"It seems ridiculous the league isn't bending to break the rules they put in place to allow this trade to go through" Sound argument. Always have to suck up to whoever is in charge. The team is never wrong.
How will Carolina recover as an NHL franchise?

Pretty insane value for signing rights. At least Hayes only cost a 5th

It never fails to amaze me how the arc of player value always bends back in the Canes' favor. People made fun of the Kotkaniemi trade and contract. Well, in year 1/8 at age 22, he was worth more than his cap hit. Skjei too seemed questionable, and look at him now. The Canes wanted to sign DeAngelo a year ago, but they had his value pegged at ~$3MM. Well, now they get him at $1.6MM (just like they got him for $1MM last time). With a 2nd and 3rd and 4th.

I’m not sure Carolina would really care too much about Rizzo. He’s likely a fourth liner if he even makes it.
I’d imagine the $1.6M cap hit/salary was more appealing to them than the $2.5M. I’m guessing they realized DeAngelo wanted to come back & the Flyers didn’t have any other cards to play other the trade or buyout so they let them go through with it.

You know Charlie covers the Flyers with the amount of pushback he gets on this point. All them poor bastards know is overpaying for mediocre or worse secondary & depth players as the right way to build a team.

True (hip and back), but they just shoved him on LTIR for 2 years+. It's not like they whiffed an evaluation. Luckily, they only signed him to a 4 year deal.

I hate this team
So those keeping track:
Carolina signed ADA twice at ZERO cost both times and paid him 1M and 1.6M for 2 years of service. So 2.6M for 2 years of service and no acquisition cost.
Philly pays a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounder, pays him 5M last year, and 1.67 M this year, and 1.67 next year to not play for them. So 8.34M for 1 year of service and 3 picks to aquire.
It really is laughable the difference in Mgt competence.
Reminder, ADA was not a mistake in some people's eyes. Even in hindsight.

I know he doesn't mean this as damnation at the Flyers, but it is

Fletcher is at minimum as bad as Milbury. When you factor in that he didn't have to deal with the publicly known cheapskate owner, I'd say he is worse.
