Player Discussion Morgan Geekie

[NDiesel]

Just need to poach a few more RFAs like him who are let go from their clubs.

For a team who doesn't usually have high picks they should be targeting guys that are Geekie's age when he signed every single offseason. Played out well with Brazeau too, obviously to a lesser extent

They just very rarely exist. Guys who end up as unrestricted FA's at age 24 are rare, especially ones who've shown at least decent NHL ability.

Not gonna blame Sweeney for that one. People were ready to demote him to Providence back in November....

Sign him in July last year

Good GM’s sign players early. I know it’s a tough call but we could have had him at a great price after July 1 last year. Now we will pay.

Why would Geekies camp go that route?

You are just thinking about it from 1 side of a 2 sided equation

Why? The fact is they could have signed him earlier. Now we don’t know what Geekies side might have wanted. I do agree alway 2 sides.

Why would Boston have gone that route? He was playing like garbage and healthy scratched in early this season.

He's going to get paid and he's earned it

They couldn’t have signed him if Geekies camp wasn’t interested and wanted to play out the second year before entering talks about extension.

This response doesn’t even make sense.

OP posed a hypothetical of extending Geekie in July of last year when he’s fresh off career highs.

What he played like at the beginning of the year wouldn’t factor in to the scenario posed by the OP.

Nah, OP was using hindsight to slag on Sweeney for not signing him in the offseason when, checks notes, no one in here was calling for resigning Geekie.
