GDT: Off-season/July 1st Free Agent frenzy thread-Is Joey Crabb still available?

[Stanley Cup Boundd]

With Jesper signing here, there is no excuses for Billy not to try something with Adam…

We always hear about how this organization is all about family !

Just prove it and unite the two brothers !!

Didn’t we already drive down that dead end with the Stahl’s?

You’re telling me you wouldn’t drive that lane because of a failed attempt ?

I guess Brady and Matthew aren’t a fan of yours ! lol

Would like to keep tank but would he be ok with 2mil? He really looked good on that 3rd line, and while kinda washed hes still good.

Initially wanted him back but it's quite clear now that there's no money for him and Boqvist will be taking his spot on the 3rd line.

Once Lundell signs there's 3.3-3.8mil left for a top4 RD.

As for goalies im still lost if Judge or knight is the backup

Like Zito said, it's a fluid situation aka training camp will dictate and then it's one game at a time, constant evaluation, etc.

Monty says “I wanted somebody that wanted me” … poorly chosen words IMO, maybe he didn’t mean Panthers didn’t want him because Zito all along has said he wanted to keep everyone. Maybe he meant other teams. But it could be misinterpreted. Or worst, he’s upset that Zito didn’t spring for $7M+ for 7 years, which sorry Monty that would have been f***ing stupid, so I’m glad you’re not our cap problem.

sucks with the cap situation, but even if we did 7x7 is a tall ask for him

Gonna miss him though, loved when he kept calling maroon fat pat until he went fat rage mode

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Fingers crossed we can sign Lundell soon with both sides being happy.

Stamkos said pretty much the same things about Nashville because they were willing to cough up that 8milx4 deal whereas Briesebois was probably dangling some 3milx6 proposal. Since we don't know what Zito had offered him it's rather disingenuous to claim that Montour shouldn't be saying anything negative about the whole ordeal.

Fingers crossed we can sign Lundell soon with both sides being happy.

Just wait for the Flames to drop a 7milx7 offer sheet on to Lundell's lap.

 

[IceManCat]

What's the story with Tobias Bjornfot? Has he been injured, any chance of making the big club next year?

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

A quick look at the cap situation tells you that the Panthers couldn't have offered 7x7 to Montour even if they really wanted to.

In one of the tv interviews he did yesterday he pretty much implied the panthers werent offering him a long term deal.

seems like a depth casualty
was on the kings for a bit then vegas so prob never got the chance to step up

looks like he played almost one full season with the kings, then sprinkles here and there

hes played a few with us and hes had two games with 18min toi

 

[Idiot Stick]

do you think Q comes back in any form?

On serious hopium but imagine if he took kompons spot, cant believe we won the cup with how terrible that powerplay was

If Monty had played a good season and been better at playoffs, I might side with him a bit, but that wasn’t the case, so his poor word choice justifies my position.

Zito did a presser yesterday and was asked if he heard the Bowman and Q news. He misunderstood the question and said something like "did he land where I think he did?" implying that he assumed Q found a job somewhere already. Was a weird moment. I don't think it'll take long before he's hired.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Feel like our defense is going to look like our 2023 version except without 73pt Montour.

Idk

Verhaeghe-Barkov-Reinhart
Rodrigues-Bennett-Tkachuk

Boqvist-Nosek-Gadjovich
Greer, Sourdif

Bob
Knight

A little over 7 mil to sign Lundell and get a dman

Would be easier to bolster our forward depth at the deadline than find a top-4 dman at the deadline :/

No Q and Pomo hate each other

 

[CaptainScrewy]

Lundell offer sheet worries me. We basically can't match a slightly over market offer of around $6mil per and I could totally see a team offering that. If it happens in order to sign him we basically HAVE to move Knight and we have no idea his actual value or if even has any, or do they move Sam Bennett and match offer sheet?

When can other teams offer sheet him?

Offer sheets aren't as common nowadays as they used to be in the NHL.

I doubt it happens, but you never know.

I think CBJ is the only head coaching spot available, so maybe he's thinking his old team will be hiring Q. Would be interesting since they tried hiring a controversial coach in Babcock last year and it was a disaster.

I hope Balisnkis is ready to step in. If he can put on some weight / muscle would help a lot
