Speculation: Roster Building Thread LIII: Free Agent Frenzy

[wafflepadsave]

Anybody willing to take a shot at Ritchie?

 

[duhmetreE]

You're scraping by.

Kreider has to go. There isn't any sense in extending him and holding onto him just because would be horrible.

Shatty's buyout for 2020-21 is basically nothing in terms of savings. You won't be able to extend Kreider beyond next year.

We will get back $2.5M of cap space from Girardi

but it really is, one or none

 

[Crease]

Keller is a beaut, he would cost a lot.

I’d be fine with either of them on short deals. A new lease on life as depth guys

 

[Anzi]

That’s interesting?

Sign Zucc!

 

[bobbop]

Has Dvorak hit a wall?

He was hurt last year. Played well when healthy.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Are Panarin and Bob really tight?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

What’s the deal with Hartman?

There must be something going on behind the scenes

Probably just the usual scared of arbitration thing, and they'll try to sign him still.

Maybe but he’s been moved thrice in the last year.

Depending on what’s going on there that’s a reclamation project I’d be happy to take on

 

[DutchShamrock]

Dutch, I never said anything about Keller being shopped. I did mention Christian Dvorak, who I believe to be available.

Oh man, I'm sorry. I apologize everyone. I merged the two rumors.

The Dvorak for Kreider price is much more in line.

They didn't wanna risk qualifying him and being stuck with a number they felt would have been too high for him in arbitration. I believe you can only walk away if it's 4M+.

 

[Thirty One]

All three moves are not within a 12 month period and you know it.

Could be more to it, I don't know. Could just be a guy that has been disappointing since getting traded for a big return last year.

No need for wingers.

 

[Raspewtin]

Hartman wouldn’t be the worst but Ritchie is atrocious

 

[kovazub94]

I like this a lot.

Ritchie better served in the American League. Hartman is an average-ish NHL player, I guess. We already have enough of those in Vesey/Namest/Strome.

Dallas is apparently trying to sign him still. I get that it's formality with not extending a QO, but I feel like I would want to go elsewhere and prove them wrong for such a decision.

Kakko: 6'2"/190
Kravtsov: 6'4"/183
Chyil: 6'2"/210

Some big boys

If they dont play big, it amounts to nada

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Hahaha

 

[Trxjw]

If the Rangers cleared some bodies out of the bottom six I'd be on board with Hartman on a show me contact.

 

[Irishguy42]

Fire Ruff, hire Zubov

 

[NYR94]

Fire Ruff, hire Zubov

 

[Crease]

Why would the Stars acquire Hartman if they weren't willing to qualify him? He's no more or less likely to sign with the Stars on July 1. Was it just to shed a contract going to the Flyers?
