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

[KW]

Good signing for very little outlay. He'll do a good job for them.

Atkinsenko will be good!

SCHMIDT IT IS

As long as he isn’t Schidt I’m happy

 

[Beezers Mask]

So 5.7 million left on the cap for Lundell and who ever else the bring along.

Nice, one of the remaining vet puck moving D. Maurice should know him really well too so that makes a lot of sense. Still wouldn't mind bringing in Boqvist, but Zito will know that situation best from his CBJ days.

HF boards summer 2023: omg our defense sucks, ek and monty are out, we have no RD, everyone else got better.

HF boards summer 2024: omg our defense sucks, ek slow lost monty and oel, we have no RD, everyone else got better.

 

[Egblad]

Imagine if we didn’t retain Reinhart.

 

[Ratsreign]

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

LoL, I probably enjoyed that more than I should have. I still get a laugh thinking about it.
That just might be my top Montour Moment.

Love Schmitty. Great attitude.

Reported that he took less money to play for the Panthers & loved playing for P Maurice!

Big change from where we used to be. “He took more money from the Panthers to get an early start on retirement”

It's funny hearing Zito talk about completing the Reinhart signing as if it was no big deal and he laughs when asked about the "insiders" like LeBrun tweeting about how the negotiations were going down to the wire. Zito was asleep lol

Another good reminder to not believe everything from the 'insiders' looking for clicks.

Also listening to him, he's so thoughtful and intelligent, and even more importantly you can tell he really cares. We're really lucky to have him.

I don't believe a single rumor that could've originated only from Zito's camp.

Nice signing for Schmidt, pretty much league minimum. Makes sense we got him, i was thinking there was a good chance we’d snag him, werent we rumored to be in on him several years ago? I remember being really close to getting him. Unless im confusing him with someone else

Edit: ok yeah it was him

 

[TotalHomer]

Let Zito cook

 

[KW]

Let Zito cook

To use ESPN’s expression, Zito’s been in Levy’s and Messier’s and PK’s kitchen all year

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Let Zito cook

Ekblad: "What's Zito cooking?"

 

[Stanley Cup Boundd]

Wouldn’t it be Paul Maurice will be doing the cooking & Zito does the grocery shopping?

Im pretty sure, at the moment Paul Maurice is not cookin but having worst hangover of his life

 

[StrangeVision]

Love Schmitty. Great attitude.

Schmidt must be a Zoidberg fan, hopefully he's more competent.

 

[PBPantherfan]

Im pretty sure, at the moment Paul Maurice is not cookin but having worst hangover of his life

I am guessing this is the best hangover of his life.

Actually PK likes us, he's done several interviews since and during the Final, most notably the Pat McAfee Show where he was gushing about us. He also predicted us to win game 7, and I remember him saying that somewhere that afternoon before the game. Levy and Messier though, yeah. I mean Messier was born in Edmonton, and obviously won 5 Cups there, so....

Four of the past 5 Stanley Cup champions are based in places with no state income tax. While that's not everything, teams in those places have a distinct advantage financially. A look at the topic and what it means for the NHL:

If Messier had just told the audience, look folks I’m from Edmonton and played there a long time, I cannot be impartial here, I’m rooting for the Oilers — but I’ll do the hockey analysis fairly as I see it, without homerism. I woulda been okay with it because it’s honest. It’s ridiculous when they try to fake it and it’s obvious what they’re doing.

He tried to be impartial at moments but it was painful to watch, he would always revert to his homerism quickly.

Messier remains in shambles.
