GDT: Trade and Free agent Rumours thread | Chayka off-season edition

[SprDaVE]

Marchment to San Jose seems like a done deal. Makes sense considering they have to spend 20M just to reach the cap floor.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I wonder what ex leaf the oilers sign today

 

[Da Mash]

The Leafs literally have no other RW.

And Willy again for the 100th time will say No

He loves TO

Celebrini's new linemate for 6 games, is terrible, moved to Misa's wing, gets hot, moved back to Celebrini, gets cold, moved to Anaheim at the TDL.

 

[The Masters]

Who does Werenski's game compare to for past stars?

 

[Jmo89]

We have a nice shiny Stolarz for them.

 

[The Masters]

These two should get more air time. Give them their own show

Jesus

 

[ChuckWoods]

I

My prediction is Bob 3 years x 7 million

This is fine as long as they do one of the following:

1) Waive/Trade Stolarz
2) Trade Hildeby

Dam he was a backup if Knies gets traded.

This FA is so thin. There's legit like nothing for us to get as a top 6 player

 

[Vince Young]

Also imagine if Carolina makes an offer sheet for Bedard

 

[MarMarSab3]

A little Bobby Orr a little Nick Lidstrom and a little Borje Salming

 

[The Iceman]

Happy Canada Day from Playa del Carmen.

Should be a fun day for Free agency and perhaps trades?

Sandos Playcar is my spot. Enjoy. Hope the wifi is strong.

 

[BertCorbeau]

The Dreger curse.. Werenski isn’t coming here

 

[kb]

A little Bobby Orr a little Nick Lidstrom and a little Borje Salming

One bourbon, one scotch, and one beeer.

Can you explain the historical statistical difference between a 28 year old Defenseman with one full regular season and a 29 year old, or are we just resorting to red herrings because you're really .. really....really bad at debating?

What upside, which players are they specifically targeting from Tampa? Source?

What the f*** does Cooper being the NHL's best coach and "Groulx not being Janes' level" (which is a real low bar btw) have to do with my argument?

I don't mean to be rude ...but about this posting thing ...it might not be your forte.

And even if I were to even hypothetically grant all of the above....in what world can the Leafs not offer a superior NHL ready player?

You need it explained to you why a first year NHL player should have a better second year?

Dregs is THE Outsider lol

I’ve never wanted Dreger to be right about something more in my life lol

Also lmao at that Byram contract. What a boat anchor

 

[Da Mash]

So if Bob is signed for the rumoured 3 x7mil

Then you trade Stolarz 3.75 mil contract and use Domi 3.75 LTIR money to at for it this year.

 

[Legion34]

Friedman predicts Bob to Toronto but the Oilers (!!!) are in the mix. 3 years 21M (3x7M) is the prediction. Also has Marchment as a possible destination for the Leafs.

Also varied interest in these guys apparently.

Chayka's great. There's maybe 2 analysts i have over her and that's because of their seamless ability to blend analytics into something that is easy to digest for people.

But her talking about Larkin there was nonsense. He needs to be better offensively! Doesn't use a single number, with P/60 being listed on the screen. Defensively he's great! Proceeds to use gross LPR's which isnt a defensive stat and turnovers created which doesn't even tell 10% of the story. She got her Sportlogiq numbers this morning and quickly picked a few out.

 

[Zybalto]

Not only was the trade horrible, the contract is going to be worse

The highest paid dman in the league after his "career year".

He could still get better of course and we are going to see more of these deals with the cap exploding for sure.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Interesting that we dangled Knies for a massive futures package, then days later dangle him for a massive win now package. Were trying to fit 3 timelines at once
