GDT: 2020 NHL Free Agent Frenzy IV

[BruinsFanSince94]

To push just a little further if they bring in Hall and Smith where does Studnicka fit in the lineup?

He’s your third line center next year as Coyle slides up and Krejci walks.

 

[Mione134]

Me too. I really like the opportunity Carolina presents with their LHD.

I'm also cheering for Calgary to sign Pietrangelo and move Hanifin for help in the top 9...

I'd rather keep JDB and trade Bjork. I think he can be a good player, but Jake is more valuable with us. Bjork can be traded. We have good prospects who can fill his "void".

OK, enough cameos, nor more encores, I'm officially out this time. Sweeney's moves this past week were the trigger for a short-lived revival, I needed someplace to vent, and as always you fine folks lend an ear. It's time to go. Into semi-retirement at least.

It's like that scene in Godfather III. Just when I think I was out, they pull me back in.

Hopefully Sweeney has a move or two up his sleeve yet this offseason, because I'm afraid what we've seen so far just ain't gonna cut it. This is still a playoff team, but it's not a contender as currently constructed. Maybe some of the young guys would change that, but up front at least, their ain't much room for them now. I can't see how Sweeney doesn't at least clear a roster spot or two, even if the return is draft picks.

Take care folks, stay healthy and stay safe!

We'll be here all week, try the veal, don't forget to tip the waitress.

the 2nd and 3rd line play almost the same amount of time 5v5, so I think they will be interchangeable..

Colorado has to be out on Hall. About 10 mil, need to re sign Jost, Graves and another defenseman. And that's just to get to 20 players.

Getting Saad was a nice win for them.

Exactly, we only have one DeBrusk , Bjork,Kulhman,Wags and Linholm all the same value.

 

[Troublesome 85]

I was going to check this thread at In N Out but the fight that almost happened was much more entertaining

Hall sign yet tho?

 

[LouJersey]

Getting Saad was a nice win for them.

very nice to see you around Jim, I hope all is well.

There is real reason for optimism:

Boston hasn't signed Hoffman/Toffoli/Dadonov. Why not? They have been told they are still in on Hall. If they are out, one of those are in and signed and Sweeney has his presser and focuses on a trade for a LHD.

Coach, IF we dont get Hall are are forced to settle on one of those 3 names, who would you choose? Players who spent all their careers in the Western Conference means I know very little about them..

I just fear another Backes or Beleskey/Hayes signing..That's why I hope that IF they sign someone else, it's short term..

 

[The don godfather]

I repeat hall or bust. We the big boy of the east when he arrives.

 

[Troublesome 85]

For some reason I always confuse Hoffman and Stone. Which one had the crazy situation with Kaarlsson

 

[JOKER 192]

Could Pietrangelo and that’s it be the plan? We could afford that, right?

Well, maybe shed the Moore contract as well.

I'd rather do that than get Hall, Hoffaman or Dadanov. If you know how to do that and dump Moore I wanna hear it.

Don't worry he'll be back soon.

Thank you, Lou. All is good and I hope the same for you. Enjoying the banter as we all race to find a crum of new information. Go B’s!

Hoffman. Stone went to Vegas last TDL grrrrr.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

Coach, I've been a fan for around 50 years, a VERY dedicated fan. I dont even know now what I posted to be honest..I think the point I was trying to make was, you still have to have a good regular season just to get in postseason.. THIS was the point: IF we can continue to add to the core of players that had success in Boston that past 2-3 yrs, we can soon get back into serious contention..

I dont care about regular season BUT they still have to get in and it's a long 82 games{I guess]..Taylor Hall, along with Craig Smith makes a big difference to a team IF we can get him..If not, I hope there's a plan 2 in place cause every day players are changing teams..

Smith plus Dadonov/Hoffman would give us more firepower, no question. I do think Hall is better than both, but also they would be cheaper therefore a little bit easier to make room to upgrade defense as well.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Hoffman. Stone went to Vegas last TDL grrrrr.

Yeah not really a Hoffman fan

Stay calm and don

Nice to see you around as well! Some of the old time best of the best coming out during the free agent frenzy!

Has anyone confirmed the Kevan Miller deal is in fact the $1M+$1M in bonuses or if it’s a straight 1 year 1.25?

Always nice to have a place to vent. Stay safe.

Not always. Depends how many you have in ratio to what the others are downing.
