GDT: Free Agent Frenzy - The budget doesn't allow for free agents or frenzy

[andyolly]

Why do people keep bringing up sign and trades? They never happen.

 

[paine]

Fowler return will make or break our summer. Hopefully Murray doesn't blow it.

 

[andyolly]

Is there any news on a possible Fowler trade? Aside from that Mayor post last night (which didn't specify any player) seems like the trade talks have cooled off significantly.

 

[Exit Dose]

Nothing new.

 

[Duck Off]

Lavoie said on the radio yesterday that he still expected Fowler to go to Buffalo. He said that he thought Murray's price would come down. I sure hope he's wrong.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Only team to not make a single move yesterday : Anaheim Ducks

Not a single NHL or minor league move per Stephens

Ducks are the Arsenal Gunners of the NHL

This is from yesterday:



Quote from Renaud Lavoie.

The writing is on the wall that Fowler is going, but I still don't see anything from Buffalo getting it done and not making us drastically worse. I would put money on it being to Detroit for Tatar+Sheahan.

Good news is BM will be gone if/when we miss the playoffs this year, right?

 

[ShadowDuck]

Detroit is definitely trading some forwards for a defenseman. No idea what they, and whoever they're trading with, are waiting for. All the big players are off the market.

Setogutchi was traded for Burns within days of being signed.

So one trade? Maybe "never" was too absolute but people around this site act like they are a common/normal occurrence when that is clearly not the case.

 

[crowi]

I love how Sabre fans are now haunting our board and our threads on the trade board. So much salt.

Yea, it is obnoxious and seems to be getting worse haha

 

[DigitalSea]

I'll really miss Fowler if that's true, I've loved him since those vids of him living with the Neidermayers. It's been cool to watch him grow.

I still think he has his best hockey ahead of him, too.

 

[HanSolo]

I love how Anaheim supposedly has no leverage RE: Fowler.

If Anaheim really wants to they can just keep him and protect 4 D. It may suck to lose a decent forward but it's not like it's an avenue they can't take.

No, he must be moved for nothing. Ennis+ incoming.

Yeah, but if memory serves there were rumors ahead of the actual trade, weren't there?

With each hour his value drops. If Murray doesn't move him by noon, all we can expect is a 5th round pick and a thank you note.

Vesey is going to free agency.

 

[darkwingduck]

How much is vesey looking for?

 

[Arthuros]

How much is vesey looking for?

Since it's Buffalo, probably the 8th overall.

 

[bumperkisser]

I really hope Fowler doesn't get moved. It's gonna be stupid to move him unless we get overpaid.

 

[The Duck Knight]

How much is vesey looking for?

All a team can offer him is a standard ELC. Maybe we can entice him with the wide open hole next to Getzlaf and Perry? Long been thought he's heading to Toronto though.

 

[Paul4587]

I really hope Fowler doesn't get moved. It's gonna be stupid to move him unless we get overpaid.

How else do you propose we fill the massive holes we have up front? We have 3-4 legitimate top 6 forwards and virtually no scoring depth. All the good FAs are gone too.

 

[Markus078]

How much is vesey looking for?

ELC maximum. He is a left shooting LW and would be to great to be true if he could join the Ducks. Nevertheless I doubt he will.

Option to play on a line with Perry and Getzlaf

 

[Exit Dose]

Vesey hits free agency on August 1st, correct?
