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

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Reilly Smith to rangers

for a team that needs to improve 5v5 defense, that is a good move

 

[baconandbread]

I think the almost zero chance KK doesn't get traded now. Rod won't play him on the second or third lines and now with our signings there is no where for him to play on the 4th.

Plan B for missing out on TurboTime

 

[Brock Anton]

Brendan Smith somehow still finding work.

 

[whiskers]

lets sign Jeff Skinner for 2 years for our non playoffs runs

 

[Svechhammer]

Duclair to the Isles is just the league pissing in our cereal this summer

 

[Unsustainable]

Pinto should be our trade target with Necas at this point.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Come on DW, you know you want to give us March/China/Sillinger/Johnson for taking Laine off your hands for FC

 

[Brock Anton]

How the f*** did the Pens get a 2nd for Smith?

 

[whiskers]

Pinto and what? surely not 1 for 1

 

[LakeLivin]

Okay, so DW wasn't to blame. It was Necas that killed the #4 overall deal.

Waddell looked noticeably glum as Columbus announced their pick at #4. I wonder if it's because he really wanted Necas?

Just waiting for the Thanks X posts from the Canes social now

"Yeah not signing that. Dad says hi, btw."

Struggling to get this site to load at all right now, but my additional thoughts on Pinto is that we put together a futures package that’s too good to turn down. 2025 1st, 2025 3rd, whatever from the prospect pool as long as it isn’t Nikishin. Stupid to waste a year when we continuously stock pile prospects and our top 6 is the way it is. Getting him but losing Necas just feels like one step forward one step back.​

 

[hblueridgegal]

Vegas evidently exploring a Marner moment

 

[WreckingCrew]

FWIW HankyPanky was apparently competing with Suter as Dallas' worst d-man last year...before his knee injury...

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I guess DW is a big believer in Necas flourishing away from Rod's system.

That and the high end of this draft sucked compared to other drafts

 

[CandyCanes]

Breaking news:

Canes previously agreed to deals on Carrier & Walker, but both guys are now having 2nd thoughts when Canes owner Tom Dundon has been trying to negotiate down their deal they verbally agreed on.

*We better not be getting Mason Marchment'd on these guys lol.



I wonder why Duclair always gets overlooked. Seems like a cheap AAV for a guy that can 20-30 goals.

 

[CandyCanes]

Sneaky good pick up by the Wings at a good price. Could have been our #2 PP QB and solidify the bottom pairing on the left side.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Lyubushkin getting 3x$3.3M AAV from Dallas seems like a lot considering Chatfield is a lot better IMO.

I'm crossing my fingers for Kylington.

That's more expensive than an OS would be...plus he's actively requesting a trade...and I'm not sure at the moment I'd give up our 2025 1st, could be top half if the draft at the moment

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

i liked reilly smith but a 2nd and 5th to get him at 25% retained seems like a lot when he wasnt a good fit for the Pens

An offer sheet would get matched ASAP. Trade request won’t bring his value down too much with everyone and their mom looking to get in on it.

 

[Borsig]

No confidence vote.

I scrolled up quick on twitter and saw the Sabres player and thought we signed Skinner.
