GDT: Free Agency is here (also trades happening)

[DanM]

NYI fans in shambles for a 2nd straight year....... delicious tears lol

 

[Cleetus]

We lost Hainsey?

yes, gone to Ottawa.

 

[Muston Atthews]

He’s a UFA and he’s better than Marner. Not exactly comparable

Considering Marner wants Matthews as a comparable I’d consider Panarin pretty close as a pass first winger

 

[Mess]

We lost Hainsey?

Defenseman Ron Hainsey joins the Senators on one-year, $3.5 million deal

 

[thewave]

Our PK was trash and should be re-worked, but really good try.

This is DJ Smith blaming Babcock and getting his PK from Toronto over to Ottawa. Clearly DJ likes them or all this does not happen.

It's Smith vs Babcock

 

[Duffman955]

Who were the teams in on Duchene?

 

[Isaac Nootin]

How would anyone feel about Kadri for Hamonic+?

Kadri seems to be in demand so perhaps hold out for more.

Copy, paste and replace.

Especially after the dick waving last night when Bob trolled them about being the favorites.

Is it Judas Anders Lee this year?

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Who were the teams in on Duchene?

Main competition for Nashville was Montreal.

 

[Havoc]

You guys don't think Spezza signing was done so we can fix our LW problem internally?

Kadri-Matthews-Nylander will ruin teams sleep. Johnsson is not ahead of Kadri on the depth chart. Kadri deserves a promotion if we have a capable 3C to take his place.

 

[BM14]

Is it Judas Anders Lee this year?

That was so 10 hours ago.

It's now Judas Panarin.

 

[Nylander88]

Gardiner still not signing.. I think he still wants back with the Leafs.

His agent should do him a favour and show him our cap situation then if Gardiner is bad at math. We have a 700k contract here for him if he wants it lol

 

[HoweHullOrr]

$8k more than Matthews.

I'm probably the only one who immediately thought that.

Well ya, Panarin's contract has two additional years, no?

 

[SprDaVE]

How would anyone feel about Kadri for Hamonic+?

Kadri seems to be in demand so perhaps hold out for more.

The plus better be a big plus. Hamonic is pretty average. 1st round pick? Meh. Jankowski... maybe? Bennett... probably too expensive and meh.

Kadri is worth gold right now but it feels like something that can happen.

 

[Nithoniniel]

You'd think so right!? Mitch and his camp and the rest of these RFA's don't seem to think so.

They'll come down. If you look at the signings we've had, an RFA who drives play extremely well coming off a 66 point season just got $6M. An UFA who is a career complementary 40 point guy hits a career high 53 points and got the same number not long ago. Kapanen and Johnsson gets smaller contracts than Brandon Tanev.

The dynamic is the same. Camp Marner will fall in line too.

While I've said I don't see it happening, more likely Kadri now goes for a top 4 D....it is very nice for the eyes to look at. Kadri would tear it up on that wing

I hope you're right. These contract negotiations have got me exhausted. I hope it doesn't drag on as long as Willy's.

I think he's willing to take 5M for term. Ceci deal still verbal only.

 

[Cor]

Travis Hamonic is underrated now. He's a very good player. I'd want to know he'd sign an extension though

 

[WTFMAN99]

Kadri should command a damned good defenseman in return

 

[Schenn]

Lol @ Bobby Mac throwing shade at the Myers contract.

"bonus structure makes it harder to buy out"

 

[dubplatepressure]

Kadri should command a damned good defenseman in return

and he will
