GDT: Free Agency Thread: First of Many

[Runner77]

Interesting post

It's along the same lines as we've discussed before.

There are many ways to use the extra draft picks that MB has amassed, as currency.

We wait

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

We traded two of our slower guys and didn’t re-sign a slower D in Benn, wouldn’t be surprised if we sign Dzingel and Gardiner who are two very good skaters.

how does everyone feel about Kyle Turris as a Hab

Ugh. They better be taking back Alzner. He's only 30 in August, but has really stunked it up in Nashville. If we do get him, I'd move him to wing. RHS.

 

[JianYang]

Did Waddell not confirm Carolina would match any Aho offer sheet?

That's exactly what he should say.

 

[le_sean]

Lee at 7m. Gardiner at 6m. Kinkaid at 1m.

So let be it! I am sure the cheap owner would be thrilled to pay so much up front.

I was sure he was getting more picks because the draft was in Montreal but who knows

Id be so happy if Bergevin was doing an hostile offer to Aho

 

[CoopersFalls]

I can’t sleep until I know what Montreal is gonna do.

 

[Goldenhands]

@MarkovsKnee

you are right, I thought he was right handed and I agree that his real value should be around 6M, not 8 and hell certainly not 10...

Same haha

 

[Redux91]

Lee at 7m. Gardiner at 6m. Kinkaid at 1m.

This is acceptable.

 

[sampollock]

Godfather MB, pressure a GM

Aho a Hab!! Lol

 

[A55P2]

I would give 8M for 7 years to him, no problem.

I'd give him the 10.5 amount so that we'd only loose two 1st, one 2nd and one 3rd. Otherwise a trade would be OK too.

Like someone fishing in the montreal harbour.

 

[Lshap]

What pisses me off is all these 'done-deals', 13 hours before free agency begins. There's no breaking news left for tomorrow -- it's already broken.

This has the vibe of the National Enquirer and I hate it. I would love it if all these smug journalists are proven totally wrong and the big names go elsewhere.

You’re gonna have to add more than that easily.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

f*** it. Offer sheet Marner and make HF crash for 48 hours.

We don't like it Marc. Find another idea.

 

[loudi94]

Why are we hearing all these guys are signing with other teams, yet we hear nothing on our end? Obviously nothing is written in stone for the guys the Habs have eyes for.

 

[sheed36]

Late to the party but looks like MB was busy today. Been reading trying to catch up on what else is going on in Habland. MB isn't seriously gonna offer Anders Lee 7x8m is he? Jesus ****ing Christ.

Carolina will match

Would love to see dundon match a front loaded offer sheet. Unlikely he will dish out 44-50 million in cash in first 3 years.
The guy is broke

 

[CoopersFalls]

As hilarious as it would be to troll Toronto, I wouldn’t give up four first rounders for Marner. That’s a huge price and none lottery protected.

Elliotte specs Kinkaid..Turris ..Aho offer sheet

Elliotte Friedman says

This is my own mind at work, but Bergevin has an excellent relationship with Gerry Johansson, who represents Brendan Gallagher, Price — and Sebastian Aho. Who knows?
Just what exactly does Marc Bergevin have up his sleeve? - Sportsnet.ca
