GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[Frenchy]

I don’t like him enough to commit 3.5 AAV

Me niether

 

[Bender]

It's not greed, we can't give him money we don't have.

In order to pay Drouin we had to trade a player, we didn't so we can't pay him.

Actually, you can as Cmac already admitted to be able to over the cap but then in a subsequent interview he flipped-flopped from that stance...

Sometimes GM's need to know when to zip up and keep it in their pants... lots of these contracts will age very badly

 

[henchman21]

I'd say the odds of the Avs using the cushion are pretty high. Wouldn't shock me at all to see Drouin re-signed and Colton kept.

 

[hockeyfish]

Woof.

That would go against what Cmac said though.

YIKES

Seems like market value.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

We are truly in silly season with Trenin getting that kind of money. Wow.

 

[jabubenice]

We can't even give him $2M right now. And it's increasingly likely we aren't moving money out.


I think its obvious Drouin really wants to stay. But, I'd be shocked if he takes half the money he could get on the market.

damn, not even $2million

 

[henchman21]

Woof.


That would go against what Cmac said though.

He's said both this offseason... so it is against either way!

 

[dahrougem2]

That is gross

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Yikes, that's an awful contract for Trenin, a 4th liner at best, and not even a C. I loved him while he was here, but that's a big L for the Mild

 

[BobRossColton]

Yep count me in for pinto, somehow, someway.

 

[jabubenice]

We are truly in silly season with Trenin getting that kind of money. Wow.

yep... dumbass move that

I must have missed him saying he would spend over.

 

[Pokecheque]

I am 100% for the Wylde dropping serious money on a 4th liner. Just keep yourselves on the Bubble guys, that's awesome.

The blue balls on this board will be unmeasurable. Posters here have wanted Pinto for a long while.

Get him on a 2-3 deal, give him the Colorado offense bump

 

[henchman21]

I must have missed him saying he would spend over.

It was in the season ending one where saying they could and may utilize the 10% cushion.

On Pinto... it is all about salary. Ottawa won't commit more than a few million. He wants 5+.

[jaisen73]

Would be sweet to add Pinto but what in the actual hell could Colorado send them that they'd want.

 

[BobRossColton]

Another 48 minutes till market opens

 

[jabubenice]

well there u go, pinto asking for a trade
