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

[Max et Guillaume]

Sarcasm.

How do some people not get that?!?

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 24s
Pittsburgh has signed Rob Scuderi

Well, my top options are now gone.

Can we please get Lapierre and Fistric?

 

[crazyd]

Habs won't do nothing.

 

[Tyson]

Eklund says Ryan to MTL is an E1

That would cost the Habs quite a bit including a Beaulieu type of prospect or two.

 

[Natey]

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

Then I don't know what you tell you. If you insult someone, he's not signing there. Regardless if you change your term offer later. Rumours have came out that Alfie was insulted by Ottawa's offer and never really listened to them after.

 

[Analyzer*]

Anyone notice Ferraro always talks when there's a trade, or a signing to announce and doesn't shut up when asked to ?

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Clarkson apparently wants around 6 mill.

He will get it, that's crazy. Hopefully the Leafs give him that contract and are stuck with a 15 goals scorer who doesn't fight anymore because he thinks he's now a goal scorer. Best thing that could happen today.

 

[LeHaboholique]

Eklund says Ryan to MTL is an E1

E1??

 

[CaptainBenn]

Bergevin wont do a thing...

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

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.

And then they'll turn around and say the players are making too much money and we should slash every salary in the league by 24%!

And ordinary folks defended the billionaires over the hockey players!

And hockey players, who are the main draw and talent, were vilified!

Doesn't really matter, he could have been sarcastic for all I know

No hard feelings especially since my day job is horrible

 

[FloJack]

can we please get lapierre and fistric?

gross!

 

[ClasslessGuy]

7 years and probably 5+ million to a guy tht needs shoulder surgery and is out until december...

 

[No More Subban]

Wow thats alot of signings in the 1st hour. Im kind of surprised.

 

[Coldplay]

That would cost the Habs quite a bit including a Beaulieu type of prospect or two.

I would absolutely package in Beaulieu to get Ryan. The guy is the kind of cornerstone impact F we have been craving for years.

 

[Tabarouette]

Habs won't do nothing.

good. I don't want Clarkson at 6.5M or Clowe at 5.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

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

So there are two options, what you said above OR signing Briere/Clowe ?

Somehow, I don't think so.

 

[FlyingKostitsyn]

I don't mind Weiss signing with Detroit.

Anything to make TML foolish is good imho. They buy out Grabo, fail to sign Lecavalier, fail to sign Weiss.. and now maybe they'll be forced to give a stupid contract to Bozak. Sure they got Bolland and still have Great Leader Kadri but they still have a hole at center.

 

[Monctonscout]

I'd be a lot happier had we given 4 mil/year to Scuderi for 4 years rather than Briere for 2. I'm sure an extra 3 mil over 4 years would have swayed him here. Tell him he'd play with PK.

 

[Hannibal]

Clarkson wants $6M/year

 

[Natey]

Hope a bidding war takes that to 6.5-7.

Me too. Kills one teams cap and Clarkson will feel Pejorative Slured for signing the deal in a couple years when everyone hates him and he's part of the rumour mill for years.

 

[poetryinmotion]

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

But we paid low for potentially very high reward when compared to Ryder.

We will see what else Bergy can do to change the dynamic of the roster for but now we got a very good bargain on our UFA compared to the lot.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

So there are two options, what you said above OR signing Briere/Clowe ?

Somehow, I don't think so.

There are two options: Overpay for UFA or do not sign players.

Hard fact of life.

 

[JPGoHabsGo]

Wow thats alot of signings in the 1st hour. Im kind of surprised.

Last years was horrible too.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

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

Maybe, but the poster I quoted was ready to give the DRW the division... weiss doesn't make them THAT much better.
