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

Maybe JBB knows more than than the poster here. Point on LTIR for the regular season, another LTIR like Seabrook, Killorn trade, Foote trade for LHD etc.

f***ing Phat Kessels ears are ringing

Hah! It gets worse.

Unless there is some LTIR magic signing happening.

 

[Point21]

If Phil wants to take a 1 year deal at 1m, we can move BB for a 6th rounder and have 100k in cap

what this was really about


Flyers say that they're out on big free agents. So no Kadri.

not at 12m a year...

LTIR doesn't mean anything unless they are missing the entire season (which they aren't) TB is already out of cap space with Seabrook on LTIR already.

So I thought they can use the LTIR space for a contract(s) but when Cirelli/Bogosian come back, Tampa has to get compliant. Maybe by then a deal is worked out to trade Killorn for something, etc. That would have to work out like clockwork but what internal options does Tampa really have?

TB is certainly in trouble, and after the past two off-seasons the phase one of the current core must feel pretty despondent about the teammates no longer here.

So to start the season, TB is down McDonagh, Rutta, and Bogosian on D (all with extensive to good playoff experience), to replace them with Cole, Myers, and Foote. Yeah and factor in Cernak's inevitable missed time at some point for some fractured bone. Cole, Myers, and Foote just got their icetime significantly increased.

Hamsters sweating, struggling and falling down trying to keep up now. Get one refresh like every 5 minutes.

Vegas giving away players for free

Vegas giving away players for free

That's insane. This guy might still have a 40 goal season in him.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Holy hell...Vegas management is so garbage.

[PJ817]

and we question JBB, ever?!

I mean I don't like that we gave up McD AND Pally BUT we have the 20-somethings on 8 year contracts? okay... let's go!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I didn't realize Nuutivaara was available. Shocked he only got 1.5M

This really is the time to question JBB.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

This makes me sad.

 

[Stammertime91]

This makes me sad.

Same. Today was highly anticipated but I wish it never happened. Dog shit day.

With how poorly Vegas is managed, we should send them Killorn for Pavel Dorofeyev. Because why not?
