GDT: 2013 NHL Free Agent Frenzy (opens at 12pm)

[Wats]

Clowe is done. He might play two years of that contract decently enough, but New Jersey will regret it.

Maybe it's just me but signing a 28 year old to a 7 year deal doesn't seem that bad...especially if he stays healthy. The cap his isn't that big either for a top UFA at 5.3M. He's had a full season post concussion and he was a BEAST in the recent playoffs.

Now signing Clowe to 5 years on the other hand...

 

[That]

TSN's free agent tracker only lists Saku as 28 years old... That'd be nice.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Ugh, Weiss apparently going to Detroit. Our division just found it's winner.

Weiss isn't that good..

 

[PricePkPatch*]

I'll take neither.

Yes, yes. Let's just have NO PLAYERS. Fill our roster with AHLers and unprepared prospects.

 

[teh doors]

Glad the Leafs didn't get Scuderi.

 

[Whitesnake]

Finally the UFA day is pretty funny....where you can laugh at every other teams but ours....We'll just laugh at our team AFTER....

 

[Natey]

It feels like every team in the east is getting better.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Wow... why didn't NJ just extend Clarkson for a little more instead?

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Wow Bergevin is looking like a genius right now.

Slow your draw there partner, none of those other teams sport a top9 that looks like Disney's Mickey Mouse Club.

 

[Coldplay]

Seriously - if you're not going to listen/understand to the reasoning we used about lowballing - just drop it.

I understand it, I just don't agree with what you guys are saying.

 

[Tyson]

Yep, well Clowe's contract pretty much at the very least equals the stupidity of the Horton's one.

Wait until Clarkson signs, that will be the contract that has everyone shaking their heads.

We did yesterday, no ?

Since we're soft as hell anyways we should look at Stalberg.

 

[Monctonscout]

Horton is being underrated. He's been consistent since Florida. He's a good player that brings up his level in important games.

Look at his regular season numbers last year.

If you don't show up in the regular season there are NO IMPORTANT GAMES!!

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

Scuderi, 4 years/13.5 million with the Penguins

what a steal

 

[Andy]

Weiss isn't that good..

Weiss is underrated. Good player playing on a crap team.

 

[Whitesnake]

Wow... why didn't NJ just extend Clarkson for a little more instead?

Has to be because Clarkson wanted out...no other reasons.

 

[JPGoHabsGo]

Wow can't believe you would give that much money to MAB. don't quit your day job

Sarcasm.

 

[Natey]

Weiss isn't that good..

A 50-60 point player is all Detroit needs.

 

[Dwight]

Wow... why didn't NJ just extend Clarkson for a little more instead?

Clarkson wants $6M/year

 

[le_sean]

lol Clowe.

 

[General Fanager]

Ok MB wont sign anything big, that is clear... What about trades? Anything going on?

Eklund says Ryan to MTL is an E1

 

[googlymoogly]

So we missed half of season of hockey because owners were crying about not making money. Now today owners have their GMs throwing money around like it's falling out of trees


No wonder they wanted caps they can never control themselves.

 

[Analyzer*]

Clarkson apparently wants around 6 mill.

 

[Andy]

Look at his regular season numbers last year.

If you don't show up in the regular season there are NO IMPORTANT GAMES!!

Ridiculous post. Horton had one off-season, is still young and has produced consistently outside a shortened season without a training camp.

 

[Coldplay]

Clarkson apparently wants around 6 mill.

Hope a bidding war takes that to 6.5-7.
