GDT: Free Agency Frenzy - 2023 (12pm EST)

[gravey9]

What’s a mid-9 forward.

apparently it's a mediocre forward nine years past his prime.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Drury is such a star f***er lmao

Wheeler is shit in the room and his play has gone done significantly the last few years. But he’s a name so let’s get him

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Who is signing for 1M ish + that has speed? That has to be taken into account the CAP they have to spend.

Kreider-Tro-Wheeler 3rd line could be a bitch for teams

 

[cheech70]

Wheeler could be a fit..no Tank..No Patty

 

[DanielBrassard]

imagine thinking you would be seeing this post when the letter went out just 5 years later

 

[Savant]

Wheeler hasn’t scored more than 20 goals in a year since Covid hit, doesn’t skate as well any more and is 36 years old. And he just got bought out as a captain. He is cratering

He just had his best pts/60 in 5 years (with the 2nd lowest sh% of his career) and his 5v5 scoring results have been extremely consistent for like 10 years. He only scored less because he was mostly off the top PP last year and he historically is great on the PP.

I guess they did not want 1 to 2 million haha

[savebyrichter94]

Get me Nylander somehow if he’s available

They put themselves in this position by not giving the kids a real shot.

Wheeler is a guy, who I think could be great if he's inserted into a strong locker room as a rank and file guy. He was total cancer in Winnipeg as the captain.

We don't have a strong locker room...

 

[mas0764]

Not interested in Wheeler so of course it will happen.

 

[Savant]

And why was he taken off the power play?

These are the questions you need to ask. He isn’t getting PP time here either

 

[PuckLuck3043]

He can’t skate or score goals anymore. Would be terrible. I guess if he is taking vet minimum but ugh.

Just more evidence that the Rangers have no idea why they lost last season. Same as the Mets

The Rangers could use a big RW especially if he's cheap. He's been a 60 point player basically. They can't use that? He's basically Tarasenko production but cheaper.

 

[LOFIN]

3 years jesus lmao

 

[Fitzy]

They put themselves in this position by not giving the kids a real shot.

We put ourselves in this position by drafting a bust in Vitali Kravstov.

 

[duhmetreE]

Like who?

Smith, Gurianov, Engvall, ROR, Rodrigues, Jost, Erne, Hathaway, McLeod, Sheary, Geekie, Fischer

 

[RGY]

Lol Toronto Lol

 

[DanielBrassard]

Lmao Toronto

 

[duhmetreE]

3 years jesus lmao

he wont be a good player there but he may spark the betas

 

[Savant]

Tarasenko is a lot better. Tarasenko still scores goals. Wheeler doesn’t score goals anymore

 

[Fitzy]

So to be clear, Nashville retained half on Johansen so they could give Luke Schenn a Nemeth contract

 

[Ail]

Get me Nylander somehow if he’s available

Hilarious to think he's the odd man out still of their big 3. He was their best player for long stretches last year and in the playoffs. Tough spot for them to be in.
