GDT: Free Agency 2014 (Part 2)

[Curufinwe]

I like how Randy also assumes the Flyers org has the mindset of a spoiled child who isn't getting as much attention as it wants. How can they make a splash!?

Why do we need to make a splash?

Cause hockey is a pool party, apparently.

A fake cover sheet on the fax, like "Win a trip to Bahamas. Just sign the confirmation on next page" ?

Cover page of the offer sheet:





To: David Poile
From: Paul Holmgren
Subject: Definitely not an offer sheet

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Really would have liked to dump VL, improve 4th line and backup goalie

Snider and Hextall are so mad about the Sixers making headlines! They need to do something to reel those millions of crossover hockey-football fans!

Miller's piece should be entitled: How Flyers Can Do Something that I Can Write About.

You are one sly individual! Holmgren possibly could have followed that up with something like:

Hey Dave,

Don't worry about the Weber stuff. We're backing off on trying to work out a deal for him. He's such a great fit on the Predators. I'm so jealous!

By the way, a few of the GMs and I were arguing over who has the coolest signature. I naturally said yours was wa-a-ay cooler than anyone else's. They are still holding out that Yzerman's is; something about the capital Y and z. I really want to prove them wrong. Can you sign the next page and send it back to me, please? I'll forward it to the GMs and show them how awesome your sig is!

Your friend,


Paul

The first two are still possible. Guys like Winnik and Fiddler would be good on the 4th line if they can trade Vinny to Nashville.

Any idea who the player the flyers really want is? Hextall just said they are focused on a single player in free agency, and they are waiting to see if his price goes down

Steve Ott.

 

[Curufinwe]

I sure hope Nott.

 

[Tankadelphia]

Steve Ott.

ew. rather have vrbata

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Vrbata Vroboto

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

say no to that idiot Steve Ott.

 

[BernieParent]

say no to that idiot Steve Ott.

Seconded. I want no part of Ott.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

If we sign Ott, then **** this off season

it has to be Vrbata. it's rumored that he's asking for too much. so all the teams interested in him are waiting for him to lower his price.

Apparently it's Blair Jones?

 

[Tankadelphia]

Some writers think its Gleason he is talking about

 

[Striiker]

My entire goal for this offseason was getting rid of Emery, Lecavelier, and Grossmann. They just actively made sure that one of them is coming back and the other two are questionable, rumors and hopes are all I have right now. I REALLY hope tomorrow turns out better and the only reason Lecavelier hasn't been traded yet is his bonus.

Help us Nashville, you're our only hope.

 

[JVR21]

Vinny, Grossmann, and our 7th for Nashville's 7th. Doit

 

[Curufinwe]

Meltzer suggested that a speed guy like Setoguchi might be a fit.

 

[Tankadelphia]

Vinny, Grossmann, and our 7th for Nashville's 7th. Doit

While I wouldn't be angry, I'm pretty sure Vinny and Grossman are both worth more than a 7th rounder, especially Grossman after seeing the contracts given out today

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Meltzer suggested that a speed guy like Setoguchi might be a fit.

Wouldn't be a bad sign. Doubt he would cost much

 

[Striiker]

Grossmann and Lecavelier can both return something, they don't have negative value... we just have to find the right place for them.

 

[kyuss]

I sure hope Nott.

If they sign him, I will buy a Nott jersey, but I really don't want to.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Off the top of my head I'd love to go after Vrbata, Stempniak, and Kulemin.

Signing Ott would really ruin every single encouraging thing Hextall has done. For me at least.

Edit: Still plenty of time to improve out fourth line and trade our dumpster fire players. The backup goalie thing is mildly upsetting, but not an overly big deal so long as Mason is healthy.
