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

[Joe McGrath]

The Caps are already almost $4 million over the cap w/ Backstrom on LTIR.

Carrier's career....does he have structural issues or have these injury years been one off (this signing sounds Kase-like):

Oshie is likely LTIRetired.

 

[dogbazinho]

With our current D we're going to be playing behind too often for our 3-4th line to be as effective as they could be.

 

[CandyCanes]

$17.8M Cap space
- 7.5M Jarivs
- 7m Necas
- 2m Drury

Not much left. Rough offseason

 

[WreckingCrew]

Laine for Staal, bridge Drury, sign Jarvis long term, figure out what the f*** to do with Necas

Svech - Aho - Jarvis
Laine - Kuzy - Necas (LET'S WATCH THE WORLD BURN)
Nookie - KK - FUS???
Carrier - Drury - ???
Robinson / Lemieux

 

[Svechhammer]

Incoming Jacob Trouba off the top ropes with the flying elbow

If he played here you just know the league would miraculously start suspending him for his actions.

 

[NotOpie]

Got fooled by a 2018 tweet

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Martinook - Staal - Fast
Robinson - Kotkaniemi - Carrier

I like that a lot. Low offensive upside, but should be stout defensively. They'll grind a Jack Hughes into dust.

 

[robbieberns]

We couldn’t do that DeBrusk deal? I guess we’re going to have to give it a couple more weeks to see how it all shakes out. The lack of quality and quantity on a personnel standpoint leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

 

[Lempo]

If he played here you just know the league would miraculously start suspending him for his actions.

And for the backlog.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Anyone have gone for Ekman-Larsson deal, 4 x 3.5M? I thought he played well for Florida this year.

That's great and all, but means jack shit if we don't have a top 6 that can score. Right now we're a 1 line team which is super-easy for the opponents to do the same.

 

[Joe McGrath]

On what planet is

On what planet is Jarvis getting 7.5 million?

It’s great depending how the top 6 plays out. But we’re back to square one again with the lack of goal scoring

Tyson Jost 775 another bottom forward depth option we’ve got tons of them now

 

[CandyCanes]

Walker still available. Could be a good Pesce replacement.

with a defense that is lacking a bottom pair entirely.

"But we’re back to square one again with the lack of goal scoring"

Coupled with a much worse defensive core

 

[Borsig]

Wow.

This is easily our worst off season in as long as I can remember. Holy shit lol.

We may have a worse FO than Pittsburgh at this point.

 

[Unsustainable]

Jost at 775k to us

 

[WreckingCrew]

Walker still available. Could be a good Pesce replacement.

meh, i think Chatty is better than Walker

Jost isn't it. I remember when I was hoping we'd draft him tho lol.

I really thought we'd at least get a top 6 guy in this free agency period. I imagine we're already looking into the trade route. But if not we gotta hope one of Nadeau, FUS, or Blake can step into the top 6 this year.

Also currently our bottom pair D is a huge wild card. Lots of holes. I cry.

 

[Brock Anton]

MOAR BOTTOM 6

 

[FreshSeabass]

tyson jost?! wait this is kinda funny actually. Going for the most bottom 6 forwards. its a bold strat cotton
