GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[the_fan]

Yeah we got other shitters.

De Haan = Caleb Jones

 

[Mighty Makar]

I wonder who will sign Kylington and for how much.

 

[BobRossColton]

The ufa signings I'm curious about are Nylander, Lorentz, Sprong, lankinen, kylington and boqvist.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Love the Avs being underrated.

4th in the division?

Trade Colton and something else for Kadri, sign Sprong, have a third line of guys that can create offense but can’t play with other people

 

[BobRossColton]

This is down the line, but if we end up with 5-7 million cap room anywhere near the deadline, what's everyone doing, more defense, goaltending or forwards?

Minny now a better team than the Avs according to advanced stats

If Vegas would give me these numbers to bet on, I know where I would lay a decent amount of cheese with Minny and Colorado

 

[dahrougem2]

Honestly if I was allowed to bet, and there was a prop bet where Minny was favoured to finish ahead of Colorado I would legit bet my life savings against that happening.

Minny is not good.

Have the Avs ever had an offseason without a single player retlated trade?

I wouldn’t think too much of it. They got the Wild in 2nd place. Someone came up with those predictions while sitting on a toilet taking a shit

Third in the division last year with all the top players healthy.

MacK had a career season and is aging. Toews isn't getting any younger. Big question marks for all the top 6 wingers aside from Rantanen.

Lots of room for a big step back.

Isn't capfriendly supposed to be dead? I'm not complaining but just curious

Will he continue to refuse to move his feet is a big question mark tbh

There's no questions in my mind. Moving his feet ain't happening. He's not going to be the same Rantanen as in 2021 and 2022. At least not in an Avs sweater.

I don't think they actually announced any official date. The word was that it was supposed to shut down on 5th (yesterday).

To be fair. He explicitly says the data assumes 0 games played for both Nichushkin and Landeskog.

That feels incredibly unlikely. If even one of them plays ~50 games, we're probably 3-4 points better.

So it assumes we play with a $77m roster while everyone else ices $88m. If they don't play, we'd better at least use the space.

The reason is obviously that there needs to be a team to balance out Vegas at $100M.

They're gonna bring back Keith Kinkaid.

He keeps his old pads

Blinding the shooters is next level goaltending.

To be fair, JFresh had Winnipeg extremely high last year and everyone laughed, but Winnipeg ended up second in the division

Even a broken clock is right twice daily.

Thoughts on bringing Laine here if Landy or Nuke aren’t coming back?

One thing I learned around here is JFresh is right when he says things that we want to hear but becomes a clown when he says stuff that we don't like

Same rule applies to guys like Pronman and Wheeler

What you posted is what you wanna hear as an Avs fan tho. He's got us as the 8th best team and very close with all the top teams with no Nuke/Landy.

If anything he's super high on the Avs. If Landy/Nuke play 0 games and we get zero replacements we shouldn't be that close to the top tier teams.

Naw...I wouldn't want to replace either of them with an expensive reclamation project. One of the few instances where I'm in favor of going after a less talented player because I believe the difference in consistency more than makes up for it.
