GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[TruePowerSlave]

The Rantanen extension is the top priority. Absolutely cannot walk for nothing and they missed the boat at the best time for a trade.

I've always admired @Sea Eagles for his consistency and for his completely upbeat and optimistic takes. Sure, it's likely viewed as homerism, but man the Avs are all about that. I never heard Peter McNab say a bad word about anyone or anything. Also, SE is a completely stand up dude for actually going through with his end of the bargain and filming himself eating a worm after losing his bet here. I'd be surprised if the vast majority of posters around here wouldn't have just gone radio silent about losing the bet instead.

I'm amazed at this animosity that really came out of nowhere to me. I'm pretty disappointed that we have a thread that has gone on this long allowing non-stop attacks against a poster rather than the contents of any one specific post. It's a board rule to attack the post, not the poster. If you don't like a poster, this is exactly what the ignore feature is for, but you don't need to go around bashing anyone after having done relieved yourself of their posts.

Yeah. This is so disappointing. Some of you just literally chased @Sea Eagles off for no reason in what seemed to be a genuinely mean spirited way…? If he was making personal attacks, okay, but afaik he’s never gone after anybody, ever. He seems like a great guy, irregardless of hockey opinion differences. Hope you make a return next season @Sea Eagles.

Avs would be wise to get the Rantanen contract done before one of these Canadian teams sign their UFA to a stupid contract. Draisaitl and Marner are both in the same situation, and both could push the price up. Really going Rantanen takes a discount to stay. Maybe $10.5m x 8?

Depends on what you consider as a discount. But he's certainly not taking less than Pastrnak (11.25), nor should he.

I don't really know how much the Marner deal has an effect. Marner signed before Rantanen the last time, and I think at the time Rantanen could still argue he's just as valuable. Rantanen signed for almost 2 million less with the same term.

8x12=96 sounds like the sweet spot IMO.

I feel bad because I feel like I kind of started it, but I was genuinely having a conversation with the guy about Georgiev and statistics.

What for though? I don't get it.

 

[Spilot23]

Damn people actually chased Sea Eagles away !! I would most rather have his optimism and positivity than criticism and negativity all year long. I can be that negative guy sometimes but probably calm down after few hours. Some of you being that negative and pessimistic gave up in our cup run after losing one game to the Blues and yet probably celebrated the most. That's what I find hilarious. RIP Sea Eagles

I give up as soon as I see we lose the opening faceoff of the game but I literally ripped my shirt off when the clock hit 0 in game 6 vs the Bolts.

EDIT: Scratch that. I think that's the end for me here guys. I'm giving away this forum as of today. Love you all. It's been a great ride. Here's hoping for a Stanley Cup next season.

Feel free to DM me anytime.

Sea Eagles - over and out.

Been there before too. Generally due to a select few and some of those couldn't really be put on ignore, so they were enough to make the experience un-enjoyable.
Took a break from posting here but would pop in for a read once in a while.
After a year or so, would come back so the cycle could continue.
Just take the summer off and try revisiting once the season starts. Lord knows this board will need some optimism once the first loss happens.

Weird… the biggest asshole on this board was being an asshole again for no reason.

So, where ARE we, and where are we going ? I'd love to hear what your reality is?

Also, why are you making this personal ?

Yeah, don't leave, Brother. Just put those you don't get along with on ignore. Makes things a lot more tolerable.

Who made it personal? I already have them on ignore so I can't see who's the culprit.

Then trade him.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Hasn't our team defense taken quite the step back though?

Our team defense with Kuemper was incredible, especially playoffs. The team knew they couldn't let any shot on goal.

 

[Raucherhusten]

How you guys manage to piss off

Sea Eagles​

enough to quit the forum is beyond me. Sure, he's a huge homer and sometimes it's a bit much - even for me - but maaan, he also seems to be one of the nicest guys in here. Great job fellas!

 

[Avs44]

After we lose the first game of the season and this board is having an absolute heater of a meltdown -- led by an enraged (yet secretly thrilled) @chet1926 who will be calling for the simultaneous firing of Chris MacFarland and stripping of Landeskog's captaincy -- we will want @Sea Eagles back.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

The majestic Sea Eagle took his last flight? Damn, I’m in shambles.

I don’t think @UncleRisto was involved in this one, though.

Ok I laughed hahahaha.

It was multiple people, unfortunately

 

[BaconNater]

I will miss the optimism, please don't start to get rid of the humorous posts next because then this place really will be useless!

 

[Balthazar]

According to The Athletic staff, Avs and Preds have the same chance to win the cup next year.

It’s the damn mods that weigh us down.
