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

[Cormag001]

Of the guys signed today, if you would transfer their contract to Carolina, who would you have pulled the trigger on?

BORG caught with pants down?

Pesce...maybe. Six years is a lot, but the AAV isn't terrible at all. I might've taken the Marchessault contract, as well. Again, the years are high but the AAV is quite OK.

 

[User13452]

There’s nothing left outside of debrusk who’s gonna cost north of 5.5 a year

so we get to dumpster dive for 3rd liners, and look for trades.

Martinook on Sirius saying his negotiation came down to the final hour.

 

[robbieberns]

I'm done. f*** this org. Worst blown off-season in a decade or more .

Meanwhile we give martinook 3x3

Hell yeah, can’t say it’s been nice having to read the constant bitching and whining and i’m sure everyone else agrees. No re-entry allowed once you’ve left the venue, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Dumpster diving for 3rd liners is what Karmanos and JR did. The Canes are almost certainly solving this via trade. They're asset-rich and cap-rich specifically for situations like this.

first time?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Peesh and Bradyshay are gone, and we didn’t trade for Chychrun.

This is going to be interesting.

Probably seeing how much more he could get from us considering the overpay as it was

believe hes a forward tho

I think the Marty signing is worth it. He's a heart and soul guy. He scores decently in the playoffs and decently well for no PP time. Moreover, he's the quintessential team-first player. Both on the ice and off it. $3M really isn't bad for all that he brings to the table. It's $3M from an $88M cap, so 3.4%.

It's hard not to want to panic as a fan at this point, but we did the same thing when we let go of Trocheck and Hamilton. The front office has a track record of finding a way. We do have to be patient. As hard as it is now to swallow, there is a lot of track record of many guys on their 3rd or 4th contract not playing it out as they did before, whether due to an aging body or not feeling the need to give 100%.

I don't think we'll win the metro next year but I'd be surprised if we fall out of the playoffs entirely.

In a vacuum I think the contract is fine...when you're already paying Staal $3M and coming up short on money for top 6 players, not so fine

 

[Brock Anton]

6 years?

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

They want a premium bottom-6, for sure. I like Carrier as a forechecker.

 

[TheOllieC]

6 years for someone who's never played a full 82 game season is...interesting

 

[baconandbread]

With the Martinook signing, Rod must be ecstatic having his first line back intact.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Bottom 6 is going to be a PITA to play against.

 

[hblueridgegal]

DeBrusk to VAN 7x$5.5M
