GDT: 2019 Free Agent Frenzy - NON PENGUIN RELATED THREAD

[Honour Over Glory]

I miss his picture in a pens jersey with a devil's logo poorly cut on top of it. I wish he just kept adding more logos over the old ones.

Lol i vaguely remember that. I still wish he worked out with the Pens. Man that kid was so injury prone.

Surprised Gardiner hasn’t been signed yet

There's no trade. Aho gets that contract period. Only question is who pays it.

And the worst case is that CAR drags it out so MON can't do anything else for 7 days. Just a stupid move all around on Bergevin's part.

I know he gets the contract but i thought they could negotiate the compensation aspect?

Am i wrong on that?

 

[Gurglesons]

That Aho contract is a steal aside from the fact it basically takes him right to UFA for a budget teamz

They have to honour all of the structure/terms. There is no glory in it for them. They’ll have to choose @Honour Over Glory #dadjokes

Beaulieu was signed for 1 mil 1 year. That’s a good deal for the Jets.

He’s better then JJ too..not saying much, I know, but I thought we should have looked at him when he wasn’t tendered...

Such a quiet day in the NHL. Not sure if it's trades or RFAs holding up the rest of UFA market. Gardiner, Dzingel, Ferland, and Johansson amongst those still available.

I feel like Ferland and Dzingle are asking for to much money right now and I feel like Johansson would be the guy teams turn to if Ferland and Dzingle don’t lower their asking prices in a few days. The Gardiner one surprises me as well, especially because of the lack of good defenseman available.

 

[Turin]

Ferland, Gardiner and Johannson are all guys with injury questions

 

[JTG]

I am surprised Ferland is still out there. I like that guy too.

Have the officially matched? I know they stated their intention but I figured Carolina was going to draw it out the full week to screw Montreal as much as possible.

Though I confess I want Carolina to reject it right away so Bergevin can have a go at Provorov, Point, Laine, whoever get it over with man.

Yeah it’s official. I don’t think they would have cared too much since it wasn’t really a genuine attempt. Canes had 20 mil in cap space and its a fair deal.

I mean they missed out on trying to get a better contract end date (RFA status finishes at the end of this) and better bonus structure but Aho must have felt that part of the negotiation needed a kick in the pants.

Better than Panarin IMO.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I think they're okay for now?

 

[Tom Hanks]

I think they're okay for now?

Yeah they look fine for this year and will be able to get Marner sorted. They probably are just more negotiating on the terms of the deal (bonus, NMC, NTC etc)

I imagine AAV and years are pretty close at this stage.

Next year only Reilly is signed on D but they have a year and Dubas seems like he can handle the task. He’ll be working on that all year.

Am I missing some thing about the TML cap situation? I didn’t understand the Ceci QO, but are they now home free because of LTIRs? I knew about Horton but who else are they going to put in cold storage?

Beaulieu was signed for 1 mil 1 year. That’s a good deal for the Jets.

And to think he cost them a 6th rounder to pick up. At the time that smacked of the kind of bargain bin D pickup we would’ve made these last few years, but for the bloated, expensive D corps we already had to contend with.

I haven't looked too much into it, but from what I gathered:

• Toronto gained a bunch of cap space through trades
• Horton will go to LTIR but he needs to be part of the "official" starting roster
• This means he eats up a roster space for the time being and will likely be replaced by an NHL/AHL tweener in season (no biggie)
• On CapFriendly, one of their forwards will likely be sent to the AHL to accommodate this
• With this ~$700k savings (player going to AHL), Horton ($5.3M), and their current cap space ($3.77M) they can likely sign Marner

They have 2 more players potentially go on LTIR but they’re different to Horton because they’ll be back soon. Hyman and Dermott are those players and their combined AAV is 3 mil.

Looks like they are vulnerable still to an offer sheet if Marner is willing to sign one.

Surprised Gardiner hasn’t been signed yet

They're waiting on the Marner decision.

need to get rid of some, before we can add.

Harrington signs a 3 year deal with CBJ 1.63 AAV.

Quite the drop off after losing Bob, Matt and the Breadman. Still will be competitive but things could go awry pretty quickly. They do have cap space (almost 16 mil) though with only Werenski and 1 forward to fill out the roster

This is where the "all in" scenario can go wrong. It was cup or bust last year for them.
