GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2014 II

[Bench]

hasn't stepped in yet. NMC.

He doesn't have any trade protection?

Buffalo still needs to hit the cap floor, though. They need to add around $5 million.

 

[ChadS]

No way to avoid overpaying if you try to trade for a d-man now. Just go with the kids...

 

[TheWestWing]

Can we just sign a FA under 30YO. Just once???

 

[RedHawkDown]

Let's not.

I'd never do that. But Holland will.

 

[Shaman464]

So, who would you rather lose? Nyquist or Mantha? Because if Holland wants a top 4 D-man those are the names that will be first off any competent GM's tongue.

 

[bababooeyII]

We have to be very forgiving, Holland apparently cannot improve the roster via trades or via free agency any longer. I guess the new excuse is no one wants to live in Birmingham anymore?

They are sick of Dickie O'doul's

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

Myers might want out. That's the main reason. Pretty sure he has a NMC, too, so they can't demand a king's ransom if that's the deal.

He can't have a NMC or a NTC as he's still in his RFA years. Those only kick into effect once he enters his UFA years.

 

[Vladdy84]

Del Zotto! Why not!?

 

[joe89]

it's mostly bottom 6 forwards being overpaid

Yeah and depth D like Stoner and Orpik. Really hope we don't bite.

 

[Hammettf2b]

This is going nowhere fast. at this point i say we bring back Alfie if he wants back and play the kids on D, try to get rid of Kindl as well. No need to overpay someone when that someone will not help us contend right now.

Would rather shoot myself.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Last time we made one, I puked.

Last time you puked, we made one.

We need you to puke again, Birko.

not until 2016-17.

Depends on the return, what are some names for example?

 

[aar000n]

Anything we do that can prevent Dan Cleary from getting a contract is a success.

Agree

 

[Sami]

Just promote Ouellet and Marchenko. Still better than Quincey and Lashoff.

 

[drw02]

Kenny will offer Nyquist and Pulkkinen plus a first for Myers! Let's go!

Might stop being a Wings fan if that happened....don't care what the circumstances were, not paying more for Myers than what Spezza went for

 

[The Geelee]

What a disappointing free agency. Don't think it could have gone much worse

 

[bababooeyII]

Tatar or Pulkkinen along with Weiss.

 

[Boomhower]

Plenty my friend

we'll give half the money up front, the other half when the deal is signed.

 

[Birko19]

Last time you puked, we made one.

We need you to puke again, Birko.

Last time I puked, we lost Jarnkrok for nothing, I'd rather not.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Del Zotto! Why not!?

Because he sucks and we have Smith who deserves the opportunity at that role which would be MDZ in a spot that even Lashoff would be better at.

 

[Winger98]

Yeah, while I don't like the idea of moving a kid like Nyquist, what's coming back has to be considered.

 

[Shaman464]

Depends on the return, what are some names for example?

Given Holland's track record over the last few years? David Clarkson (he is a righty) and the rights to Kyle Quinecy

 

[Run the Jewels]

Give me Big Buff!

Yep, but it would cost a roster player to do that deal.
