The Out of Town Thread CVIII - Free Agency Edition

Top center or bust.

No more patchwork please.

Regardless.. S. Kostitsyn was a 7th round pick. He had a GREAT wrist shot, good puck-handling, EXCELLENT vision, he was physical and when he wanted to, he was great defensively.

Problem was his attitude, he would get lazy and inconsistent. That being said, he was a great player for us and could have been so much more. Ridiculous we lost him for absolutely nothing.

Agreed. There was a hell of a player there. One in a long line of carnage in this town who never met expectations and were dumped.

Getzlaf and Perry, what are their excuses for not cracking the top 10?

Both of them missed a lot of games. Getzlaf was on pace for more points than Henrik. Not to mention the Ducks were first in the conference, played against backup goalies a lot less and they didn't have a consistent LWer to play with all year.

 

[hototogisu]

Totally minor, but you Wonder why the heck would Nashville trade Beck to Toronto for Jamie freakin Devane....minor trade....but huge win for TO in there. No idea why Poile did this...

I don't think much of Beck as a prospect anymore but he's certainly got more upside than Jamie Devane. Must be something related to Beck's arbitration filing, I would have to think? Doesn't make sense to me either.

Lol ownage.

No Thrusy Lusty......

MB show some GM skills and fix this top 6 and the pp

 

[Sterling Archer]

I don't see Tlusty as an improvement over a Hudon, Ghetto etc. He had 1 good year and has been pretty subpar the rest of the time. Not a player I'd take a chance on. Thankfully it's from Ek so we know there's a 98%+ chance it won't happen.

Semin on the other hand...

 

[sampollock]

there is no ufa's that can help this club,

that is why teams have made trades to build up their teams, yet MB still sits

 

[ArtPeur]

So... Stepan is going to arbitration!? Let's trade DD for Stepan's rights



Honestly though, I don't know the numbers that have been discussed but could we possibly offer them a trade and sign Stepan longterm?

In terms of pieces traded and/or salary? So something around.. let's say..

Eller, Tinordi and 1st/2nd 2016?

hmm... I doubt they would accept this though..

Maybe Plekanec,1st,Tinordi for Stepan,Yandle

 

[dgeezus]

Maybe Plekanec,1st,Tinordi for Stepan,Yandle

Stepan > Plekanec
Yandle > Tinordi + 1st

I couldn't not repeat it :

Going straight into Tim Horton's is quite dumb, especially for a rather skilled forward like him, considering Horton's been dead for over 40 years by now.

What a ****ing dumbass. If you're gonna drive drunk at least don't crash into something.

We basically got a week of Dan Eills and Dustin Boyd who's only real contribution was in Hamilton. They should have at least get a pick back in the deal. The tools were there.

I guess maybe he was really drunk and couldn't control his trajectory.

The irony every time someone drives drunk and crashes into a Tim Horton's isn't lost on me.

While playing for the Buffalo Sabers.

So no GM in this league was willing to give either of the "Bum Brothers" a contract? How surprising

Should tell you something about what you guys really know and how it sounds relevant for an NHL GM.

Please give us quotes of all GM saying they were not interested. Maybe the price was too high, they didn't want to go to said city or they only got offered camp tryouts.

We'll probably never know. All we know is that the KHL offer was better in their eyes.

It sure looks like MB is set on giving a youngster a spot if they seize it.
It seems he is content going into the season with the current top 2 centers...
Let's hope Price repeats his past season heroics...

Why?

I hope he doesn't so the team, coaching staff, and management team gets exposed for what it is.
