GDT: Free Agency: Dr Strangedubas or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nerd

[Kristopher Letang]

Praying for chaos. Amen!

 

[Fordy]

i don’t expect anything today

 

[Zbynek]

LeBrun is reporting that the Penguins could be an option for Freddy Andersen. Depending on the price I would like that move

Best option of all the UFAs. If we can't land a big goalie by trade this is the next best option. Also has the history with Dubas so it checks out.

 

[Andy99]

Zucker could end up getting squeezed because of his injury history and lack of cap space

Yeah, I could see the Pens talking to him about a 2-year contract and he’s probably looking for 4-5….I’m not sure there’s a team out there who wants to commit like that but we’ll see…I hope we find some disappointed players and get them to sign a motivated and cheap 1-year contract…lol

 

[Ugene Magic]

From your lips to god's ears, LfL.

I don't think we'll make very radical changes at all. I think we're stuck with Granlund, we'll resign Jarry, and we'll keep Petry.

But as always, here's hoping I'm wrong.

Also, I vote this become the official .gif of free agency 2023.

This one goes with the title... and far more appropriate for FA and the Pens.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I dont really see how Freddie is a better option than Jarry tbh. Also injury prone, much older and coming off a bad season on a really good team.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Honestly curious what Dubas will do this free agency. Just happy he isn't signing everyone back.

 

[Malkinstheman]

As long as Dumo signs somewhere else, FA will immediately be a big win. Getting rid of him is instantly a huge boost to the D.

Possibly a bit cheaper

And NOT Tristan Jarry

Those are some reasons

This playoffs he was 5-3 with a 1.83 GAA and a .927 save %. Jarry has never sniffed those kind of playoff numbers. I would also think he gets less term and money

It's just time to move on from Jarry.

 

[Zbynek]

I could see the Canes and Pens swapping goalies via UFA.

 

[IcedCapp]

Freddie over Jarry is pretty easy.

We're going to, unquestionable, suck with either one of them, but we've run out of Jarry jokes. We need some fresh meat

They've also haven't had a playoff worthy team to go far during his tenure.

Anyone got a link for TSN ? Thanks in advance

Also due to Jarry.

[Andy99]

Forgot to add Pius Suter and McLeod…they both could work at 3C…luring McLeod away from NJ would be a coup…I think they’d like to resign him but didn’t like his possible arbitration award…

Thank You

i don't want Granlund bought out. I want him shipped to Chicago or Arizona. Give up a mid round pick, who cares, i'm not the GM.

Anyone interested in ROR?

I know he's old and not the greatest skater, but he's good when it counts, and if he'll play 3C, it stabilizes the roster

Yup agreed on both. Just depends on term really.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Also due to Jarry.

Every single team that has failed has been in some respect due to their goalie.

 

[brewski420]

I am only here for the meltdowns.

I both hate and enjoy the meltdowns. Usually hate outweighs the enjoy but the potential for epic meltdowns is too appealing today!!

 

[Peat]

I would really like ROR but can't imagine 3C here is his best offer.

 

[Zbynek]

Every single team that has failed has been in some respect due to their goalie.

He's been the guy for 5 years and never had a single good postseason run for us. Not even one shutdown game for us in the playoffs. NOT ONE GAME DUDE!!!!!!
