New GM Trades and Signings Part 2

[htpwn]

He’s clearly letting other teams make moves and then he thinks he can come in a lowball some guys when the competition runs out of cap space. Either that or he’s in a coma, because it feels like we’ve been caught flat footed today so far.

He could also be in on a big fish like Bertuzzi. What worries me is desperation setting in as the options dwindle and we end up having to overpay for whoever we do end up signing.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Do we want to run back the same roster or no?

Running it back with the same core with a worse supporting cast than what we just had is not ideal. We’ve lost a 3C, a physical defensive defenseman, one of the better and more coveted bottom six players in the league, and a top 6 forward and all we’ve done to replace them is sign an over the hill goon.

If Shanahan is adamant about running the same core back he and Treliving have a lot of work to do to make the parts around them good enough to win.

 

[BallardEra]

Been at the cottage. I see nothing has been done to improve this team......great.

Crack open that 24 my friend.

 

[Hellcat]

It’s hard to find that kind of finish.

All kinds of Finnish here ...

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I think this is what happened to Treliving earlier today, which is why he’s out of office not doing anything.

 

[Kiwi]

Out

Luke Schenn Predators, 3 years, $2.25m cap hit, Ryan O'Reilly Predators, 4 years, $4.5m cap hit, Michael Bunting Hurricanes, 3 years $4.5m cap hit Justin Holl Red Wings, 3 years, $3.4m cap hit Accari Penguins, 3 years, $2m cap hit Kallgren Devils, 1 year, $775k/$300k split


In

Ryan Reaves 3x3.25

I don't mind that besides the Reaves bit

A lot of those guys we we let go were getting on in age and this roster could use an infusion of youth

 

[Brobust]

Jesus, that Miles Wood contract is so unexpected.

 

[TDotMassive]

Been at the cottage. I see nothing has been done to improve this team......great.

Quite the opposite... we overpaid to resign an offensive black hole for 4 years, failed to sign Matthews, failed to sign Willy, then proceeded to watch all of the exceptional talent we traded heavy assets at the deadline for, that all played very well for us in the playoffs, walk the f*** out the door and leave us picking at dog shit to fill the roster.

F--------- so far today.

Great, what we need is a stooge anti vaxxer to make this team even more unlikable. Guy has the IQ of a pumpkin.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Who the hell is William Lagesson?

For the Marlies I’m sure, especially with Mete leaving.

 

[leafers]

I know it’s early but this offseason looks bleak so far and I’m having a hard time seeing an improved team next season (at least on paper).

Perhaps they’re banking on Robertson and Knies being key contributors, who knows.
With Kerfoot, Bunting and Holl leaving isn’t that enough cap space to sign Bertuzzi?

 

[LaPlante94]

Kampf doesnt exactly scream "puck possession"

When you start 80%+ of your possessions in the defensive zone that's usually gonna be the case

 

[Gabriel426]

I wouldn't be surprised if Mac had a say in this

Good for Drouin, he needs support

 

[htpwn]

All kinds of Finnish here ...

 

[ToneDog]

We got William Lagesson. Problems solved.

 

[Mess]

Love Acciari, wouldn’t have given him term AND 2m.

I do not believe in paying 4th line grinders 2m or more, especially anything more than 1 year

Acciari turned a 1 year deal at $1.25 mil into 3 years at $2.0 mil for a player already 31.

Hes a bottom pairing D who had to play up at the top 4. Not a good guy to sign to a long tetm deal

A slightly better Justin Holl.

 

[hamzarocks]

View attachment 724947

Think a Former oiler irrelevent player signed by Trev to look like he did something

Hes probably a bit worse than Mete who we signed to be our 8D last year.

 

[DcW]

Leafs may want to secure a 1st round pick or two

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Good for Drouin, he needs support

Watched those two shine when they were on the ice. Many argued he was more skilled than Mackinnon, but Mackinnon's drive was on another level. Still wish him the best.

 

[Marshy]

We got William Lagesson. Problems solved.

Poor man's Marincin.

 

[Stephen]

We got William Lagesson. Problems solved.

Sounds like a player created in NHL 23 in year 7 of franchise mode.

Outside of O'Reilly, I don't particularly care about the ones who have left. Even with O'Reilly, the last of speed was an issue.

I'd like to see something interesting go down. Hopefully a philosophical shift into something more speedy and aggressive.

Again, it's difficult to really have any opinion until the roster is set.

 

[Stephen]

We might be at the point where bringing Kerfoot back feels like a small win.

 

[Gabriel426]

He signed for less because he's 31 years old. Kampfs deal ends and he'll be the age Acciari is now pretty much. Kampf plays the hardest defensive minutes on our team, even when Acciari was here and you think 400K more for Kampf to do what Acciari does offensively and what he does defensively is a bad contract because Acciari is more physical.

I would have Acciari over Kampf any day as both play on the 4th line.
A missed signing is a missed signing and a bad signing is a bad signing.
Kampf at 2.4mil is a bad signing as he is a 4th liner.
Even if Acciari signed for more, Kampf contract is still a bad contract.

Im going to vomit.
