Trade and Free Agency Thread - 2022 - Off-season

[fahad203]

Can I at least meet you guys at the airport?

Yes bring flowers. It's a Russian custom

 

[Nylander88]

yeah, but that makes it sound like luck. Isn't it starting to feel like "waiting out the goalie market" a little bit might have been a shrewd decision?

Who have we missed on? Husso for a draft pick and 3 x $4.75? Georgiev for multiple picks and 3 x $3.4? Vanacek? Fleury stayed put.

In this game of musical chairs it feels like their might be a few vacant seats for us to choose from when the music stops.

Keumper
Campbell
Samsonov
Murray
Talbot
Nedjelkovic
Blackwood

None of these seem like high acquisition costs at this point. Unless you really wanted Husso (at that price) it's hard to say Dubas misplayed this market so far.

Nail on the head! I truly think it's all going to work out. Just said that in another post and 5 minutes later news breaks that Samsonov won't be qualified. Anything I've read has Sakic as a pure genius for grabbing Georgiev for two 3rd round picks and a 5th. And then signing him to a 3yrx 3.4mil deal. Husso laregly unproven got a 3rd round pick and a 3x 4.75mil deal. People freaking out about Dubas...he might get Samsonov...easily a comparable to those guys...for less money, and no assets given up. Some of us just need to breathe a little lol

Yea I'm gonna have a tough being distracted from here haha

too bad we have no chance at a guy like geno would be so much fun lol. Just for entertainment id love to add him even though we dont need him haha

 

[Kurtz]

(sorry, Steel news already posted)

 

[SeaOfBlue]

You're not the only one - I got them at +2800 to win the cup next year, so the public in general is sleeping on them. Put Malkin on that team and imo they become the team to beat in the East.

Rangers need to improve their defense. That should be priority number one for them.

Shestyerkin covered up a defense that could have easily been one of the worst in the league without him in net.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I know he hasn't lived up to expectations but man

Ya crazy some of the names not being qualified were penciled in as stars not too long ago

 

[Leaf Rocket]

People would be definitely angry how many centres do they need!?

Times have changed from the times where we couldn't buy or draft one

I really thought Steel would be a star in this league

 

[ER89]

we could seriously re-jig our bottom 6 from all these non QO guys that are hititng FA. Some interesting names and if we play our cards right we could have an annoying yet offensively capable bottom 6. I like that a lot.

Get rid of kerf and holl and add a solid top 6 winger as well potentially.

Easily a 4C option for us.

I’m curious to what Giroux will come in at.

Nichsuchkin signs 8 year deal with Avs

Id be interested in G and Nuke for my top 6 winger spot. Pipedream though.

Nichsuchkin signs 8 year deal with Avs

f***

Nichsuchkin signs 8 year deal with Avs

8 is too long for me

 

[fahad203]

8 is too long for me

That's what she said

 

[Apex Predator]

8 is too long for me

Yeah wonder what the AAV will be?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Not a contract that made sense for us anyways.

We don't need a big fish for 2LW. We need the right fit... And honestly, we need a guy who can reasonably keep the seat warm until Knies is ready for a shot there.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Can't wait

 

[The Nic]

Yeah, I can't remember the last time there were so many high profile players available.

It's going to be tough to concentrate on work on Wednesday.

Work... ahahahahahaha!

 

[TMLeafer]

Not sure what their cap situation is but wonder if Pit takes a run at Kadri, with the Burke connection.

Someone needs to dig up that Kadri/Crosby banter from the 24/7 series.

 

[ULF_55]

Can someone explain to me what is delayed?

We aren't even in free agency, so how can anything be delayed?

Maybe only refresh every 2 hours, that will save you about 119 refreshes...

See if you waited 2 hours ... nothing is delayed ... going according to plan.

 

[Apex Predator]

Work... ahahahahahaha!

My calendar is completely open on wednsday while the rest of the week I have stuff. Did not plan that’s it’s how it’s worked out so far lol

 

[Steven1562]

Damn 8 years!?!?!

 

[TMLeafer]

This is some nice drama, tv execs must be happy their free agency specials won't be a boring 8 hours.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Yeah wonder what the AAV will be?

Too rich for our blood or anyone's
