GDT: 2020 NHL Free Agent Frenzy - October 9th NOON ET - NHLN, SN, TSN, RDS

[lopey]

No trade to boot. WOW

 

[Dr Hook]

Love that reply- and a NTC thrown in there. Oh my. Look, if he works out it will be great for the toilet seats, but that is a huge risk they are taking. If that is what he was looking for, then I am glad the Bruins steered clear of that.

 

[Saxon Eric]

I'm actually happy to have Jury duty tomorrow

 

[LouJersey]

So the Bruins have no interest in OEL, no interest in moving Rask and waiting on Krug. Wondering where the money and changes will come from.

"We felt that due to the interrupted season, Kase didn't get a good chance to get fully acclimated. So we determined that the top six is fine as is, and adding some bottom six depth, along with internal competition, made sense."

You know your GM is inept when a player says he will only play for you or a team that can't afford him and you still can't close the deal!

 

[Drunkenfish]

Dadonov and Brodie would make me happy. It would be a hell of a lot better than they've done in the past and it might just be enough.

Not a disaster but that doesnt put us at the top.

 

[LouJersey]

I wonder what it is? Do they not like him? Do they think they don't need him? Their left side is not great by any means. Get them to retain. Get them to take Moore. From the sounds of it he hasn't even made a real offer.

 

[sarge88]

Wow I would have been very happy with Anderson here, but I was thinking he’d get a 2/3 year deal, maybe at 3.25 or so.

So happy the Habs are paying him that though.

 

[BAD BOY]

You know your GM is inept when a player says he will only play for you or a team that can't afford him and you still can't close the deal!

They don’t think OEL is worth the money or prospects or picks. AZ wants Demko and another prospect from AZ . So if they asked for Studnicka or Beecher would you do it. Enough with the Moore, Bjork and a third rd pick. Arizona doesn’t trade him I’m sure he’ll be in love with another team by the TDL if he’s healthy and playing good. The bruins have depth at D they have zero on O. You know DK will get injured as well.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Yeah for sure. I did something I very rarely do and popped over to the Habs board to see how their fans were taking this deal - safe to say the majority are not happy! And nor should they be. I actually understood the Anderson-Domi swap - risky but I could get the logic behind it - but the actual contract they've given Anderson is just insane. Crazy big money and term for someone with his history. Just maybe it pays off, but they've staked an awful lot on it doing so.

 

[TwineTickler]

I think I'd kick tires on Toffoli if he does a 3 year deal. His lack of foot speed might actually be a good match for 1 year of Krech.

Always nervous entering the start of free agency and fearing they will do another Beleskey or Backes. Hoping for the best. Hoping for both trades and signings from the Bs tomorrow.

 

[Grimey]

“We put our best foot forward and it didn't fall our way. But, again, to be in that situation is something that our group should be happy about, and it's probably a reflection of what we're trying to do and trying to accomplish, but I wish it had fallen our way."

I couldn't help but hear Don's voice reading this haha

 

[Pay Carl]

I guess my sarcasm left the park on this one.

my bad

guess it’s truly dark times when I thought this could be serious

 

[Grimey]

Dadonov and Brodie would make me happy. It would be a hell of a lot better than they've done in the past and it might just be enough.

I would really like Dadonov. Brodie wouldn't be a bad either.

 

[Grimey]

Habs signed Anderson for 7 years at 5.5m a year avg

Holy SHIT!

 

[smithformeragent]

If you’re not going to be serious about a retool, then f*** it.

Bring the same group back for another run (with or without Krug) and see if you can make it interesting.

 

[shelbysdad]

How about Toffoli and Dadanov

Perfection
Dadonov Krejci Toffoli
Jake Coyle Kase
Kuraly Studnicka Wagner/Ritchie

 

[Over the volcano]

Certainly enough talent in the market this year - too bad UFAs always seem to be poor value over the lifetime of their deals.
Man do I love Z

 

[sarge88]

Few people were as high on Anderson potentially coming here as me, but even to me, there is no world where he should get 8 million in a year, regardless of the actual cap hit.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Shiny new toys please, not internal competition, i mean big changes and everything.

Blue Jackets "Working Hardest to get Hall" (e3)

It remains to be seen if they can pull this off, or if this is Longer or Shorter Offer, or if Taylor Hall would go to Columbus short or longterm...As I was writing this I was sent a separate text saying "Jackets are maneuvering for Hall."

Discuss this Rumor

So he won't be going to CBJ then.
