GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[Pierce Hawthorne]

It was actually 825,000 for Kelly.


Still cant afford it, but a little closer to the 775,000 mark at least. Interesting that its 2 years.

 

[Ararana]

Is Wood on the move?

Possibly? Avs just essentially signed his replacement on the 4th line, and his 2.5 million cleared could pay for Skinner (2m) and most of Kelly's contract.

Since when Wood is on the 4th line? He's been stapled to Colton from day 1 and Kovalenko sure didn't come close to stealing his spot last year.

Not a bad day in the end (is it the end even, Kadri trade came like two or three hours from now didn't it)? Good depth signings, and that Drouin deal is just so good. While I thought that would be a smart bet for both sides, I didn't think Drouin would actually take up on it. As in a 1 year deal on a small AAV. He's going to cash in next summer though, playing full time with Nate now and presumably going on all cylinders from the start. Incoming 90 point season.

I kind of wish the Avs would move both Wood and Colton. I liked the signings a year ago, but they were kind of a failed experiment.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

We still only have 5 Dmen signed as well...


Are we trading a Forward for a Dman still I wonder.

Calle Rosen baby

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

I think a number of players are on the table.

I wouldn’t rule out Lehkonen/Nichushkin in deals where a NHL ready prospect is coming back. Colton/Wood more likely.

My hope is that it’s not a straight cash out situation with only picks coming back. I’d like cheap depth coming our way, or good NHL ready prospects.

 

[avalanche_country]

Gross

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I dont imagine Rosen is an NHL deal, maybe 7th Dman

 

[Muffin]

Binnington killer is back baby

They have potentially 8 D.

Towes/Makar
G/Manz
de Haan/Malinski
McJLD/Behrens

Can't see them trading a F when they have big questions with Landy and Nuke.

Edit: now 9 with Rosen

 

[Richard88]

Bringing the band back together again haha

First MacDonald, now Rosen. Next up, Patrick Nemeth! Lmao

 

[Avs_19]

Reunions all around for the Avs apparently. I would've liked Brannstrom but I guess he's not coming cheap. Well, probably not minimum cheap.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sign Boqvist for the 3RD

 

[Ararana]

I guess Rosen and Malinski get to battle for the 6th D spot.

Just rewarding him for a job well done

 

[Perratrooper]

Would someone be able to explain how Nuke’s cap hit is pro-rated? My understanding is that it is going to be pro-rated to the date he returns, but is that factually accurate?


If so, even if it’s just $1m pro-ration, we should be fine to ice a lineup with no additional moves.

 

[LOFIN]

Where is this guy?

 

[Toothless Legend]

He was the crown jewel of the Tyson Barrie deal.

It’s prorated because he’ll miss close to 20% of the season’s days while on suspension.

But no, even with that, we’re over the cap with a healthy team.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Man, we are really dumpster diving today.

I guess it’s just securing some NHL depth and then making the more significant trade later.

The Drouin signing was a huge win. I’m happy with today.
