GDT: 2013 NHL Free Agent Frenzy Part 4

[CaptainBenn]

That's me, and I disagree. Don't feel like getting into a debate on HFboards though. If you disagree that Eller is not more than a 3rd line center (even though he's being played as one), then I don't know what to say... We have a difference of opinion - no point in butting heads.

My opinion is that Eller is not more than a 3rd line center FOR NOW, big difference!
but yes lets agree to disagree and sorry if Im looking rude not my intention at all

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Yes.

Giroux
Lecavalier
Couturier
Laughton

That's a fantastic centre-line. Christ.

If they acquire all the east's centers.....

Link fail.

 

[TennisMenace]

Am I the only guy here who doesn't drool over David Clarkson?

He was -20 3 years ago and was -6 and -8 the last 2 years. His scoring is down and he really isn't that big at 200 pounds.

7 years for a soon to be 30 year older is a bit much. Pass.

Man I didn't even have to ninja edit your post to make you look bad.

Holmgren.

your move Et le But!

Good point...

NJ fans are saying he's a 3rd liner that gets PP time, which seems like a fair assessment. 5M+ for 7 years for that king of guy is crazy.

But all in all, the Leafs are harder to play against than they were yesterday.

 

[Power Man]

parros is good, but otherwise same song and dance , and we remain small.

10 years of same pressers,

We were not going to overpay Clowe
Anaheim would have asked too much for Ryan
Lecavalier didnt want to come here

Not me. I never wanted the guy. Im more worried of Bolland though. He'll be a Habs-killer.

 

[Price My Man Crush]

People are still posting that rumour ?

And it's from a guy who knows nothing at all about hockey, embarassing. They do know how to get views. Just try to make up a trade that makes little sense and then you post it on Twitter.

His scoring is not down. He did get 15 goals and 9 assists in the shortened season. So, he did do pretty well. But yeah, as far as scoring goes he has either been a late-bloomer or he benefitted from his situation. Let's say he has another good year and then declines. Clarkson then becomes our new albatross. He does have some of what we need, though. If he didn't cost so much, I would drool over him.

why not sign lapierre and trade for boll then? parros is an enforecer so hes not a minute eater, we need a solid 4th line that would give our top 3 lines a bit of breathing room.
not only would they do that but they'd also be able to fight/hit, we need more "team toughness" as opposed to goons

For once.

 

[DJ Breadman]

I never thought i'd hear someone say they where worried about bolland, Clarkson will be the better player agianst the habs, he'll be pushing smurfs out of the way left right and center, the guy is tough as nails and can shoot

 

[SnapVirus]

Lapierre is a Blues

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Anyone else interested in signing Matt Cooke? I know he's got a bad reputation with injuring Markov back in the 2010 playoffs, but he loves to hit, and although he isn't the biggest guy for what he does, he can still be a very effective bottom-6 guy for us, contributing some offense, but primarily making us harder to play against.

 

[TT1]

well there goes that.. really dissapointed

Renaud Lavoie ‏@RenLavoieRDS 52s
Maxim Lapierre s'entend avec les Blues. Détails sous peu. #JA2013

 

[SnapVirus]

Id kill for Cooke. Hes exactly the kind of ****er I want to play against the Leafs, Bruins and Sens.


Galchenyuk - Eller - Prust
Cooke - White - Parros

Bench :Moen

Leafs lost a lot of decent guys too. Hopefully our speed will dazzle their muscle.

 

[Analyzer*]

If we sign Lapierre, White comes out of the lineup.

All cooke would do is piss the other teams off enough to try to take out the knees of our young guns.

And I don't even think bergevin can twist what Cooke does into 'character'

 

[Banjo Cat]

Briere and Cooke. We'd be loved then.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Lapierre is a Blues

WhiskeySeven is a blues

So Bergevin is sure that 5'9" rookie Dumont is a better fit than this guy?

Ya. Cooke would be extra motivation to beat us.

 

[SnapVirus]

Thats exactly what we want : Be hated.

Cooke - White - Parros

thats a line nobody would **** with. And it can make you play Prust on the third.

 

[Bloumeister]

For once.

For once?

I'm into the kids now. It's all kids for me, from now on.
