GDT: The Free Agent Frenzy, Part 2

[glenwo2]

Dutchie said Clarkson's deal 'is just over 5 mil'

I think it was 5.5 mill....

 

[Desert Devil]

The only thing Stalberg has that we need is speed. He's a third liner. We don't need any more!

 

[NJDevs26]

You guys don't want Filpulla, there's a reason Detroit is letting him walk in spite of his talent. The Wings don't let good players walk out the door without a reason.

 

[Bleedred]

What's the money for Clarkson? Haven't seen it yet?

 

[Saugus]

Fippula

I'm surprised that he hasn't gotten more mentions.

Not sure the #NJDevils want to fork out the money it'll take, but I think Damien Brunner would be a great fit.

Yes, pleaseeeeeeeee.

They HAVE TO at this point.

If Lou was so willling to give out the type of money he did to Clowe, than it would be downright idiotic NOT to even consider going after Damien Brunner.

 

[njdevil26]

TSN said "just over 5 mil" If he signed for like 5.2 mil at the MOST, I might be a little mad about the Clowe signing.

RT @NHLbyMatty: Weiss is going to be $6 mil a year signing for Wings or Blues .... That appears to be what it's coming down to. #stlblues

Poile is a smart GM. Stalberg is going help his top 2 scoring lines.

 

[Rhodes 81]

Is there even any top 6 wingers left?

Brunner, arguably jagr, and the trade option which I think is very real, just most fans probably won't like what we may have to move to get it

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Stalberg was a healthy scratch in the playoffs a few games.
I am glad we did not sign him.

Agreed. I question his character. The team needs his speed, but speed alone isnt enough for me to want him here.

Lou likes Clowe. He's willing to sign players he has a positive opinion of, players he knows well. Brunner may be a complete mystery to him other than his stat line.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I'd guess 5.3 for clarkie

 

[BrodeursCups]

Stalberg is awful. Don't be fooled by his speed. Low hockey IQ and a defensive waste...

 

[rrekaj13]

The search for decent-skating, physical wingers with the ability to score is a growing trend in the NHL. After seeing Lucic and some of the guys on LA, it's no surprise and the price tag for those players reflects that trend.

confirming #Leafs Clarkson 36.75M over 7 yrs on new deal.

 

[Devils Trap]

But he was going to take a hometown discount to go to Toronto. The mainboard told me

I was never sold on Stalberg.

That's pretty steep. Glad we aren't going after that.

 

[ScottyK]

With Josefson and Henrique signed our forward corps is full. Pretty sure we are done for the day. Got 2 months to tweak with a depth signing or trade

 

[njdevil26]

5.25. WOW. Not as high as I thought... Must be front loaded? I can't see how Lou couldn't match that... Unless he really just didn't want to be here.

 

[hlaverty06]

whats the AAV I cant do math

 

[Devils Trap]

I want Clarkson no where near for 5 million. Let alone more, all yours Toronto

 

[Uli Hiemer]

whats the aav i cant do math

5.25

 

[TaiMaiShu]

Over 7 years, ouch.
