GDT: Free Agent Frenzy/2013 Offseason Thread: Part VII: OMGZZZ SATHER DO SOMETHING

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Uh.

He's got a LONG LONG LONG way and a LOT to prove before I'd even think about considering raising #24 to the rafters......hard-working strong ranger but, rafters? as of now, no...

i agree... Jagr's #68 belongs up in the Rangers rafters before #24 does..

Bruce Garrioch ‏@SunGarrioch 3s
Sources say Daniel Alfredsson has informed the Senators he will not be returning to Ottawa. He will sign with BOS or DET #Sens #ottnews

Now it's real

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Now it's real

that is shocking....

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Now it's real

Garrioch sucks def need more conformation

 

[LetterJ]

I firmly believe Alfredsson is leaving Ottawa. I believe Sens are aware of this. I also believe Detroit is the frontrunner. #TSN

that is shocking....

My guess? He goes to Boston. They just moved Seguin, who was a RW for a LW. Horton was a RW. He is gone.

Are the Rangers even entertaining extending the captain this offseason? I don't think I'm alone in wanting to see #24 raised to the rafters at some point.

Maybe Cally should score 30 goals in a regular season before we hoist 24 up to the rafters.

If Richards was a FA this offseason he would get eleventy billion dollars annually.

Incorrect response, Mr. Reeves.

WOW!


Scary thing is that he is till the best most productive forward Ottwa has.

 

[GAGLine]

Oh boy, hope Sather can get McD, Step, and Hags done quickly. Imagine if Toronto OS'ed Steps. Not good.

Even if they give him an offer sheet, doesn't mean Stepan would sign it.

 

[LetterJ]

Red Wings likely destination for Alfredsson, but clearly because of legalities no deal has been agreed to. On the wing with Zetterberg?

im guessing the Red Wings with all the swedes they have on that team... im sure he is friends with some of them.. i wonder if he is friends with Lundqvist. only if Rangers had cap space... he is still a great player

I'm seeing some of the numbers being thrown around on the trade board and am shocked. 6m for Clarktard? I hope Gorton has Sather strapped to his wheelchair somewhere. If we sign Clowe for like 6 yrs 5m+ I will rage. The FA market this year is out of control. So much for the Cap keeping salaries under control. It's worse than ever.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

What legalities there has been all kinds of deals?

Alfredsson was not amnestied. Therefore he can not sign before noon.

 

[RangerBoy]

Toronto has their own list of group IIs.

Alfredsson informed the Sens late last night to give Ottawa ample time to put together a plan for Clarkson ,etc. #TSN

Wow....

Boston has 9 mil in cap space. Rask is rumored to get about 7 mil in new deal. So they will then have 2 mil with just one goalie signed. My guess is that they sign a depth forward or two and thats it.

Can't officially sign him until 12:01 today. Other players were signed because they were already UFA as a result of buyouts (Briere, VL).

Rumor on the main board that Franson may be traded. MDZ for Franson? Or would toronto be looking for a forward?

 

[slipknottin]

Are there any power forward type prospects out there everyone likes? Someone who is a future Clowe or Clarkson? Would it be a terrible idea to move DZ for them?

Boston got probably the best PF prospect in Fraser. But there have to be more guys willing to play that game of bruiser + fighter + net front force

 

[RangerBoy]

No more counting to 11 and yelling Alfie for the Ottawa fans.

Why?

Can't see him leaving for a divisional rival.
