GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[Pierce Hawthorne]

not in this case @Pierce Hawthorne, we have way too many holes to jus stand pat

And no cap space....

Also, our holes are almost entirely depth players. 8 of our Top 9 forwards are signed, all of our Top 4D are signed, both of our goalies are signed.


They need 1 Top 9 forward, the rest is cheap depth pieces.

Drouin is probably about to sign a 7x7 and that won't even be in the top ten worst contracts of the day.

[ANewHope]

Holy shit some of these deals are wild. Drouin would be a fool if he doesn't try and cash in.

 

[Vaslof]

Montour, Lindholm, Trenin, Skjei, Roy, Monahan, DeBrusk, Tanev...a lot of these contracts are some of the worst we've ever seen.

Such is UFA.

I'm just going to pretend hockey doesn't exist anymore and watch Moneyball for the 1,000th time

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Bring Tatar home.

You dont think the top 8 or 9 need a refresh??

I think 5D is a bigger hole. We need another top PKer. I dont want MaKar killing penalties. Ideally no toews either.

 

[Murzu]

Bring Tatar home.

Don't you dare

With…

…what…

…cap…

…space?

 

[Spender]

Love all our moves so far

 

[the_fan]

Safe to say Avs won’t be doing any free agent signings. Ridiculous money being given out so far to this free agents.

 

[Bender]

Nashville is going for it...Favorites for the Central after today.....

This day is going to be a dark for us....

At this point i just wait for the news that Drouin signed with the Blues......

Oh yeah, pretty tough to compete with ROR as your #1C and Cody glass as your #2C???

Teams built through the wings ALWAYS win.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

I’m glad in a way that the Avs have no cap space. It seems like the team is banking on Nuke/Landy being back, which Cmac also noted the other day. Throwing the money/term around that other teams are, we’re good Maybe not signing JD means they get a couple of little higher level lower line players?

And if the Avs had managed to produce even 2 guys in the bottom 6 on ELCs the cap situation would look so much better. Along with having much better upside.

The price a team pays for shite drafting.

I wanted Duhaime to go to Vancouver so their entire fourth line could be ex Avs that got away.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

It's getting a refresh. Landy will change the dynamic completely.


Otherwise no, I dont. In an ideal world where we had cap space I'd like to see Wood sent to the moon, but that's it. But that's it.

At least to start the season. Could be an entirely different conversation in February depending on Nuke/Landy in particular.

 

[LOFIN]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Grackle Party]

Bring Tatar home.

Pretty sure he actually went home.

 

[hockeyfish]

He's back!

 

[ANewHope]

Atleast some of these deals make our contracts look good lol if Nuke wasn't such a train wreck his contract would be a massive steal.

I'm not as obsessive about age as some here but GM's really don't give a shit. Some of these deals will look ugly quick. So much term thrown around.

Sounds like Drouin tested the market and didn't like what he found.
