GDT: The Annual "I've Made a Huge Mistake" Thread: Free Agent Frenzy 2015

[Brock Anton]

For the benefit of those stuck at a desk, who are "these two clowns?"

Nick Kypreos and Doug McLean. Sportsnet's finest.

Basically said he's 'weak defensively' and 'depth'.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Sekera's close to signing a long term deal with the Oilers?

Man, McDavid really changed the perception of that place.

 

[Brock Anton]

A competent general manager also helps.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

A competent general manager also helps.

also, several truckloads of money

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Wonder what Francis is doing right now. Nap-time?

 

[Brock Anton]

also, several truckloads of money

to live in edmonton (-32, could you imagine??) it better be a **** ton of money.

 

[nobuddy]

ugh canes do something

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

kings get 16 games of sekera for next years first rounder and mckeown

 

[Identity404]

Kings fans were convicted that Lombardi already had an extension in place before they made the trade

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Paul Martin to San Jose, 4 years.

 

[GoldiFox]

This is a barren, sad UFA pool. Thank God we have $15 million in Cap space.

Why haven't they signed Brad Richarson yet? This dude is the epitome of Grits and Compete Level

 

[Guy]

Already got the "we're done for the day" press conference planned.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

6 years 5.5 for sekera is less than i was expecting. that's not half bad considering what people usually overpay for fas

 

[tomdundo]

Yeah, these rates are lower than expected. I'm honestly surprised.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Based on his contracts he might want to fire his agent.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

comeau is an av.

i assumed he would be a cane.

this is pleasantly surprising.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Yeah, these rates are lower than expected. I'm honestly surprised.

Just about sums it up.

 

[nobuddy]

That Sekera move is excellent for both sides.

 

[DaleCooper]

Frolik goes to Calgary.

I've gotta change this damn avatar now.

 

[Joe McGrath]

That Sekera move is excellent for both sides.

Well he does have to live in Edmonton.

 

[What the Faulk]

Already got the "we're done for the day" press conference planned.

It was scheduled yesterday but I wonder what he's even going to talk about.

Love the Sekera deal too

Patience, deals weren't there, still want another defenseman, etc. Then PK will say something about STH and piss everyone off for a little while.

We believe this team is close to contending for the Stanley Cup. We had hoped to add another player this afternoon, but unfortunately you ****ers didn't buy enough beer and hot dogs last season so we couldn't afford it.

Lather, rinse, repeat

 

[Ole Gil]

I'm glad edmonton got sekera for 6yrs at that term rather than Carolina. Still think he's living off the glow of that one very good year.
