Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

[xECK29x]

feels like everyone over 30 is getting insane term

 

[Zeeker]

Also all these teams suck. Shit teams have cap space.

Like when we added Grabo and Kulemin

And then had back to back 100 point seasons?

 

[leeroggy]

Depressed on Free Agent Day as usual every year

Don't be, we're dodging a lot of bullets today. These contracts are absurd and will make ours look better.

 

[SI90]

This Free agency is officially drunk lol

The DeBrusk deal is really good imo. Between his age, player he is, and the AAV that’s one of my favorite deals.


How come teams aren’t in an arms race to sign Defenseman Sebastian Aho? Lol

 

[MarsTBOW]

They had no space to do anything

Yup, to expect creativity to open up space is unwarranted.
I mean other teams do it, but us?
Not so much.

 

[Lights911]

Just comical at this point.

 

[doublechili]

Maybe we should have hired Trotz instead of keeping Lou….

Extending Nelson 4 years for maybe $7M or a bit less (contract ends at 37) is a bad idea, but signing Stamkos for $8M to a contract that ends at 38 is a good idea?

I'm not looking for the Shiny Toys...
Just fix the PK is all I wanted.
We will see.

 

[Zeeker]

How come these teams arent signing Martin or Clutterbuck to one year deals?

 

[Throttle]

Teams are willing to accept buyouts are conditions of these contracts. If the teams weren’t making money, they wouldn’t be so dismissive of all the off the books money.

@Chapin Landvogt

Since you saw a bunch of the Swiss, how did Albelin's PK look? Was it a similar approach to ours, or something very different? Play it aggressively with pushing out (Florida would jump anyone who had their back to the play with the puck for example)

 

[PK Cronin]

How come these teams arent signing Martin or Clutterbuck to one year deals?

They're locked in a basement somewhere.

 

[PK Cronin]

None of these deals are really exciting, it's just a lot of activity. How many teams win the cup July 1?

 

[Throttle]

I would do that Stamkos deal for the sole purpose of marketing to other players in the league. Deal with the economics later.

 

[Chardo]

Finally a trade. Lou swapped his oatmeal for a Danish and two bran muffins. And signed the Danish for 6 years.

We're going to regret that contract.

 

[doublechili]

They'll probably announce his signing with another team as soon as I post this, but kinda surprising that Chandler Stevenson is still available. He might be my #1 choice among all UFAs. Sign him and trade for Pinto and then you can deal Brock.

 

[Taswell]

Is the Danish as good as Franz was?

[12Dog]

Cause Lou re-signed them already?
Regarding Martin and Clutter

 

[BMOK33]

All my NYR friends enraged, I told them what did you expect? Even moving Trouba they need to sign like 3-4 guys who are RFAs next 2 years

 

[Chardo]

Is the Danish as good as Franz was?

Only on the backhand. Very one dimensional pastry.

 

[SayItAintSoJohnny]

Neither of them are good ideas really, but Stamkos just reached 80 points the last two seasons in his declining years for the 7th and 8th time in his career.

Nelson has never hit 80 and only has hit 70 once, so signing Brock to that deal would be worse...

 

[Wanderson]

Hibernating Lou

 

[Taswell]

Only on the backhand. Very one dimensional pastry.

Still, could help our penalty kill!

 

[crashthenet]

Season ticket renewals going to be dismal this year, eh?

Like a long walk to the train.
