GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Skip to 1:52 for Skinner's biggest post season goals with Buffalo.

Very weird to give him a tribute video considering they're buying him out.

Still hoping for a last minute JGP buyout, would love that guy on this team

Can that still happen? He would have had to be on waivers already.

Can I just say, I hate this f***ing site? Ever since twitter changed to X, those tweets that you link take forever to load unless you change the address from "x" to "twitter". Which I usually do, but I don't blame @Bill Peckerskull (or anyone else) for not doing it because he's just doing so much for this board posting this stuff. It's just that the admins haven't bothered to fix it, I don't know what it is but it's f***ing annoying when it takes like a minute to load those tweets with the x address.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

A 3 playoff sample size is like 30 regular season games

E: I don't think Schmidt was ever bad, but he's one of those players who isn't worth it anymore similar to Henrique and Faksa. Just move on to younger players in those positions.

Well that is certainly a response

Schmidt would be a very solid #5 for us, and one that could step into the Top 4 if injuries hit.


That said, he likely still gets $3M+ as a UFA, and the Avs can't afford that money anyways. Maybe if they could get him for 1.5 or less but I highly doubt he's going to sign for that little.

I used to change it because they wouldn't show up if you didn't, but now it works, so I stopped. There are some other sites I frequent, regarding other sports, that haven't even done that yet. Annoying AF. I agree that it needs to be fixed.

 

[Ararana]

Is this UFA class seen as a buyers market for bottom six/bottom pairing guys? Seems like there's a ton of them available.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, I bet those were really good memories.

 

[Balthazar]

I can't get over the Skinner contract .

With today's cap it's the same as 10M X 8.

To Jeff Skinner, an undersized winger who doesn't drive his line and sucks ass defensively. That's so much worse than Huberdeau and Bobrovski (at the time signing their contracts).

Botterill should have been banned from the NHL.

 

[BobRossColton]

He was eaten alive by the Avs in the playoffs, there's a reason why the Jets are doing this move.

You mean that 5.9m had nothing to do with it?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I'll take Schmidt or TJ Brodie or Justin Schultz for 1.5M as the bottom six vet D; assuming we can get another player who can counteract their deficiencies.

Lmao he really should have been

 

[LOFIN]

Soo, assuming Guentzel is now getting at least 9Mx7. Unless he wants to take a bit less for Tampa, because Tampa.

 

[Balthazar]

The story according to Friedman is Guentzel asked for 8 X 8 to Carolina, they said no....then later Carolina agreed to give him 8 X 8 but Guentzel no longer wanted to do it.

Just get the Colton for Askarov deal done already

What else are we throwing in? Trotz is looking for high-end prospects, or impact (as in top-6/top-4) players. RossCo isn't one.

Jokes.

If Ritchie or gulyayev could help us get askarov, I think I'm doing it.

[Tommy Shelby]

I remember saying that the Skinner contract would be one of the worst in the league when he signed it, and some people here got very uppity about that statement

 

[UncleRisto]

I wonder if there are real offers for Bean. Could probably do worse than get him as a rotation guy.

Have fun, dipshit

 

[Avsboy]

Have we traded Mack, Mikko and Makar for a pack of smokes and a 40 yet?

It's what the NHL needs today. It makes a splash everywhere and would raise the profile of the sport. But, also, what's wrong with smoking and drinking a 40 before every game? Kids need to learn.
