GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[sethro109]

Done deal.

I would hope they had some sort of agreement in place before that trade. Giving up a third, only for the guy to head into free agency would be a horrible move.

 

[BaconNater]

What the heck Tampa had like one of the worst cap situations and they still get to make fun moves. And we're arguing about Colton and Drouin

 

[UncleRisto]

If brannstrom isn't qualified, we should get him for 3rd pair.

Signs for too much for our third pair, most likely.

Taking stamkos, jeannot and serg contracts off their books will do that

 

[chet1926]

Gotta hand it to Tampa, they make shrewd moves when the team needs a locker room change/retool.

Yeah they aren't afraid to shake it up.

It's the one thing the Avs have been terrible at. They are too loyal in my opinion, it's a business. We are so hesitant cut ties and re-tool. A guy like Girard is a perfect example. Girard is an ok dman making too much money. He isn't paramount in us winning or losing hockey games. But for some reason we absolutely refuse to move him. Sergachev is much better player than G and they took the chance now the are getting Guentzel. May work, may not, but they were willing to move a long tenured player to change it up.

5M would go a long way towards a nice change up. You could also move Colton now all of a sudden you have 9M to retool the lineup. Quite frankly this team needs a little change.

He probably won't do that but BriseBois should let 34 yo Hedman walk next year, too.

Don't re-up your old players for big money if you want to stretch your window. In fact trading him this summer for a package similar to what they got for Sergachev would have been the best thing. Talk about re-tooling on the fly....Point, Vasi and Kucherov have enough left in the tank to build around for round 2.

Here come the buyouts.

Toews Girard and Landeskog should be traded. Rantanen offered a flat 10 millions or he's out the door too. Restock the cubbard. Sign some ufas to plug the holes and wait for Mittelstadt and Ritchie to develop into stars.

If MacK complains he can hit waivers tomorrow.

I don't see any nmc on Makar's deal so he can fcuk right off too. The only untouchable should be Wood.

 

[Ceremony]

Jack Campbell was always a terrible signing.

Lol. I mean I suggested a couple of upper mid guys as candidates to move. For a slight re-tool. The core guys clearly shouldn't be moved, unless someone wants to drastically overpay for Rantanen.

I remember all the draft hype around Boqvist. 8th OA pick getting bought out at age 23. Damn.

In the same draft #7 was Quinn Hughes and #10 was Evan Bouchard.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I have quite the hangover. Can we post rumors/signings/buyouts in one thread, pls?

He can't defend because he's tiny and doesn't have the offense to make up for it. He's a poor man Girard.

Same. This hangover sucks!

 

[BobRossColton]

I'll repost this for more thoughts

Trade out Manson, sign Schmidt for bottom pair, sign Alexandre Carrier.

Toews Makar
Girard Carrier
Schmidt Malinski

I’d rather trade G for picks. Sign OEL for $3M and sign Schmidt.

Toews Makar
OEL Manson
Schmidt Malinski/Jones

When I look at Caprfriendly and I see the space under the cap that Nashville, Dallas and Utah have I am afraid for my Avs that making the playoffs will be difficult. Our stanley cup window is permanently closed, at less than a Macfarland burst cost.

Name rhymes with "chet", checks out

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Brannstrom sucks
