GDT: Free Agent Frenzy @ 10 am MT.

[SnipeShowJB11]

Until Bouch proves he can run the PP I’d feel more comfortable with keeping Barrie. Unless it’s a trade you can’t say no to.

I don't know. Barrie just Sekera's it these days.

By the way, the latest conspiracy theory on CP is Gaudreau and his agent misread the market and were too embarrassed to go crawling back to the Flames, so they took the next best offer.

Haha. I think Johnny got punk'd by his 'friends". They're gonna howl about this for years.

20million bucks left on the table is embarrassing alright. Not so much for Johnny. Why would he be embarrassed? Wasn't like calfarys offer was we'll matched the best offer and throw in free pizza.

Cowtowm copium.

I think around 80% (maybe even more) of the contracts signed today were worse than Kane’s contract. That’s stunning. Not sure if that reflects better on Holland or worse on the 31 other GMs in the league.

 

[McDrai]

So what's the roster template right now? Something like this?

Kane-McDavid-________
Hyman-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Holloway?-RNH-_________
_________-McLeod-Ryan

Nurse-Ceci
Kulak-Bouchard
Broberg/Niemelainen?-Barrie

Campbell
Skinner

 

[larek]

You gotta think MTL has to do something about their blueline unless they are in full on tank mode. Worst D-core in the league by far.

No no reason we need another top 3 pick

 

[McAsuno]

I personally feel that he's ready already.
If anything, this team needs one defensive D man. I would've liked Zadarov but the clowns re-signed him

I’d say Barrie is a X and Kulak is on the third pair with 2LD still an X.

Not a single word about edmonton signing Allstar Greg McKegg

Agreeed. Although I still have Foegele as 4th line left winger at least for now. And kulak with Barrie. That leaves Bouchard with Broberg though.

 

[McDoused]

Besides the like 5 guys at the top, man the UFA market is Barren after Day 1.

Outside of klingberg who is the best Dman available? Stralman? Del Zotto? Pysyk?

Yikes.

 

[tiger_80]

Brown is gone. So maybe Poojaarvi stays.

Make sure you tweet it out.

Yikes.

De Haan and stralman probably the best left. Some good depth guys that are decent

 

[GOilers88]

I don't do the twatter thing

 

[gordonhught]

Yuck. Unless JP accepts a third line role, he can get out too.

I don't do the twatter thing

Once you block everyone it’s not too bad. Besides it lets me take shots at Elliotte that dork.

 

[McDoused]

Yep but only 1 big fish (top pair), no medium fish (top 4) and few small fish (bottom pair).

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Find a way, if they move Barrie and bring in weegar, the defense changes from

Nurse - Ceci
Kulak - Bouchard
Broberg - Barrie

To

Nurse - Weegar
Kulak - Bouchard
Broberg - Ceci

With Ceci easily being able to play up in the lineup

 

[Raab]

Why not play them both on the PP? Bouch Bomb in the LD position.

 

[gordonhught]

At some point I began to realize that all the players left are crap. But That means there is a good roster here.

4 first rounders not even on the roster yet. Delightful.

That D core would be amazing.
I'd kill to have Weegar or even Chychrun.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'd argue de Haan and stralman are top-4 defensemen

That’s RNH spot. RNH is underappreciated on that top unit. He controls that left side.

Posters worried about this being the “finished product”:

"I feel good about what we've done today but I know there's more work to do over the next couple of months." - Ken Holland

That was the tag line on the social media post of his availability. There will be more moves coming
