GDT: Free Agent Frenzy: 2015 Edition

[Zip15]

I figured we could get one of these fired up as a one-stop shop for all the UFA rumors and signings on July 1 and beyond.

(Mods, if you want to keep this in the Around the NHL thread--which is approaching 1,000, anyways--feel free to merge.)

Is there a stream available?

If we end today with Eichel and ROR signed, I would say today is a success.

 

[7 11 14]

Could you imagine?

- July 1st, 2007 (Regier): Drury and Briere walk from Sabres

- July 1st, 2015 (Murray): Eichel and O'Reilly sign contracts with Sabres

8 years of suffering through hockey ranging from mediocre to horrible and it could all finally be over.

 

[enthusiast]

I understand the emotional value but I'd expect a bit more than re-signing players under our control

 

[joshjull]

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Blues still haven't signed Tarasenko but will 100 percent match any offer sheet for him from another team.

EDIT: good call on the GDT Zip

that's great context.

@DarrenDreger: Veteran d-man Paul Martin has a number of options ranging from 1 yr to multi year term. Solid player.

 

[joshjull]

@DarrenDreger: Anisimov extension with the Hawks. 5 yrs. $22.75 mil total.

 

[joshjull]

@FriedgeHNIC: Bieksa extension is 2 years, $8M


@FriedgeHNIC: Bieksa also has a no-move clause as part of the new deal

I'd be happy with those two signed plus one very significant LHD signing.

We can shore it up as the summer progresses via trade. (WGR mentioned the Islanders moves last October).

If that's ALL we end up with?

I mean, those guys aren't exactly urgent. Or unlikely. If neither of those guys even get talked to until August 1st, I don't care.

You should replace Regier and Murray with Golisano and Pegula.

Golisano would not have allowed Darcy to tank for Eichel. Nor would Golisano pay for a new contract for O'Rielly. If Darcy was still GM, we still would have Eichel. You can argue about O'Reilly but the circumstances are much different for the GMs during those times.

If he posts about it, it's happening.

What would it take on an offer sheet for Galchenyuk that would keep Montreal from matching?

 

[Husko]

Does he play defense now?

I just rely on this thread

 

[Onslow]

I'd really like to get Sekera back. Goes without saying, I know

 

[Moskau]

These awful extensions couldn't happen AFTER we sign RoR?
