GDT: 2022 Free Agent Frenzy - July 13 [11 AM CT]

[Kipper 17]

LeBrun says it's possible Brent Burns is traded by the end of this week. Both Dallas & Carolina are interested and Burns is willing to accept a trade to either of them. He also specifically mentioned that Carolina is looking at Petry too, no mention of Dallas there interestingly enough

End of the week?! Tomorrow or bust!

I would wager that Carolina’s interest heavily depends on how interested Klingberg is in joining them.

Ironically Klingberg could end up saving us some trade assets if he signs with Carolina.

For whatever it’s worth, Weekes on Chiclets says that Klingberg wants 8-8.5 per.

Whitney said immediately after that he’s not sure if Klingberg’s a top 4 guy, so again, for whatever it’s worth.

No chance he goes to Carolina then

Faksa going the other way would solve a lot of issues on the Burns front; same term. He should be able to play further up the lineup there and if he can turn it around San Jose could flip him.

He seems like the type of guy Grier is after too. Maybe we could throw in someone like Studenic or Kiviranta as well

Kinda doubt they'd retain & take Faksa though

this is a kpop thread now

Throw in a 3rd too I guess

After this last yr you can’t stand pat if you’re Nill. Pavs just re upped with you and you convinced Suter to sign with you under the assumption you’re a cup contender. I think his loyalty to those guys will cause him to make some moves this summer.

they've been very up front that kids are getting long looks and chances this year. closest i've ever heard them say we might even take a slight step back. while i expect them to look for some help offensively, i don't expect FA or trade alterations to turn the stars into a cup contender. they need to see what the magic beans can grow.

 

[Kcb12345]

Lol

 

[Zapp]

Lol

Lol all that build up for this. Tomorrow is gonna be boring as shit

 

[Sports2]

Yeah 4 was a no-go.

I’m fine with the kids getting a look and maybe that is the top 6 option they’re banking on but that alone will not be enough. They have a 1st line, a third line (Benn-Seguin) (I don’t count them as a second line until they prove last year was an Anatoly), and two fourth lines. The defense needs a top 4 option (Maybe Burns).

I’m personally optimistic that Peter D will raise our win expectancy in his first year but if we are going to give Pavs a chance at a cup we will need outside reinforcements. I’m personally okay if that is just a Burns trade and a sneaky top 6 potential signing. Clear out salary like Faksa in the lower lines and let it play out.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Why would you sign Malkin for 4 years? Da fook

 

[Kipper 17]

Boo Malkin. You ruined free agent frenzy!
