GDT: UFA Frenzy 2024 - We're ALL Gonna Die

[Bub]

confused...we need him why?

Princeton guy, so he and Tripp can have deep intellectual debates on the plane rides. It's team building.

Probably thought they got a real good deal for with Nick Robertson

Kumquat replacement I guess? 94 hits in 47 GP is useful I guess? 13F is all he should be, but he's probably our new 2LW!!

So Necas is a Czech PLD? Get the Kings on the phone.

You think he will mesh with our Harvard alumni?

Robinson was in the 90th percentile or better in speed and bursts prior to this past season.

No one meshes with Harvard alumni.

"How do you know if a guy went to Harvard?"
"Don't worry, he'll tell you."

Damn vegans of the academia.

with minimal production though....hopefully they don't view him as the Marty replacement.

btw: good news on Slavin....hopefully Jarvy right behind him.

Good idea. That way you’re prepared if something exciting happens, too.

Comes with a Simon&Garfunkel song.

Comes with a Simon&Garfunkel song.

Well I mean his mom does at least.

Roddy loves you more than you could know

And with a Rick Springfield song.

Strange timing. Won't the Canes front office be a bit busy at noon?

Reinhart extension:

Per cap friendly calculator: $8.625 x 8 = $42.1M take home.
Carolina would have needed to pay him $10M x 7 to match that same net income (although NC state tax is reducing some over the next few years).

Tulsky will handle the press conf. Dundon will be busy at noon.

[Borsig]

Slavin signing so they can spin off pesh going to a metro rival for a reasonable deal and skjei going to Nashville or whatever for an equally reasonable deal.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Reminder of the most important news today: The Islanders are still paying Rick DiPietro $1.5 million a year not to play for them. And will be doing so until the 28-29 season.

never was going to happen...what was interesting though is that I had seen speculation that his contract value be $10M+ on the open market (Canes would never pay that of course).

He signed for far less....but of course when your aggregate contract value will approach $100M by the time this one ends, it's much easier to leave some $$$ on the table.

btw: That's why I thought Guentzel would stay because he struck me as a guy that $$$$ wasn't top priority and wanted a good place for his family.

That's how they do though...find the next Marty now that everyone knows about Marty and he's gonna get paid.
