GDT: The 2022 NHL Free Agent Frenzy | July 13th, 2022 | 12:00 PM EST

[Flat Ronnie]

Kuch and Vasy will be with us.
I bet Stammer will sign a friendly deal to end his career with us.

I know Kuch will still be around be he's gonna be older, slower and more beat up. His time is now just like Stamkos and Hedman.

there’s gotta be someone chasing a cup we can still get for cheap

Not unless Killorn is getting traded. I would consider it, get some value for Killorn, and if someone like Stastny or Perron would take a 1 year deal in the 4.5 to 4.75 range, maybe you pull the trigger.

Unless we pop a trade, we literally have less than league min to spend.

if they dump ABB they'd have a little $1million to play with

but seeing some of these deals, not likely

[JTBF81]

Wouldn't have minded a player like Blackwell at that term and aav. Solid bottom 6 type.

If it’s like a mill it should be fine since there is a certain amount of players that count against the cap so abb’s contract wouldn’t count once we sign someone else

 

[Felonious Python]

I like the lack of joy in his face.

[TheSchmidt]

still early, but it's been mainly the fringe playoff teams in the east making significant acquisitions and none from the contenders

Carolina lost TDA, Nino, and Trocheck and has only added Burns
Leafs just swapped goalies really
Rags added Trocheck

 

[Felonious Python]

 

[Master P]

sign and trade for Killorn

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Detroit going to be fun to play next year.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Richard, who was in Syracuse and then a black ace for us + Stephens sign with the Habs

[Master P]

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Congrats. He earned it

 

[Master P]

Its been fun Rutta.

Exceeded ALL expectations

Feels like teams have been waiting for a lull in Tampa's strength. Now everyone is going for it this year.

 

[Stammertime91]

Myers 2.55M
Rutta 2.75M

Just got in to see the deals.

What in the f*** man. Seriously. Sergachev at 8.5? What an overpayment. Cirelli over 6? And Names brought back for 2.5?

Our defense is a huge question mark with Myers/Foote playing top 4. I have no clue what Brisebois is doing there. Secondly, our forward group got worse by a good margin and out of all the solutions we could have had - we chose Namestnikov and giving more minutes to Killorn/Hagel/whoever. No goal scorer or playmaker. Awesome.

 

[gn2007]

Perron to Detroit wont be shocking with sundqvist, fabrri. They love ex St. Louis

 

[DistantThunderRep]

He is forever the Apostle, Jan Rutta. I will miss him. Salvation was not achieved. We are doomed.

 

[Master P]

Salvation was achieved twice.

They were only going to sign players to 1 year deals. Cirelli and Cernak deals aren't overpay. Serg prob is.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Salvation was achieved twice.

Those were the first trials. There were supposed to be many more before the true Salvation of the Apostle, Jan Rutta, would have been given. He was taken too soon from us.
