GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2021 - 9AM

Nah. The deal is done man.

Yea didn't see that until after I posted.

Don’t like Hutton as our number one. Now let’s turn around and nab koskinen along with Edmonton’s 1st

Yeah. Koskinen and assets for nothing would suit me fine right about now.

Koskinen for a 2nd and 7th.

Trade Kessel away at 50% for a first rounder?

f*** YES

 

[lanky]

I really hope the pick is unprotected. Very slim chance that it matters. Very big impact if it ends up mattering.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I’m not arguing it’s a terrible return. It’s good value. Just not a big fan of Timmins. Also don’t know how you play all of Stralman, Timmins, Ghost, and Lyubushkin on the right unless you plan on forcing Ghost to the left based on his handedness.

IF Timmins can stay up and IF he can stay healthy, you could rotate he and Stralman, to give him experience and Stralman rest?

One retention spot left...

Bah Gawd that’s Phil Kessel’s music!!!

 

[Mosby]

So Edmonton is really going with Schmitty? lol!

He played well last year.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I really think that BA wants to build his lines for the next 2 years while having such poor goalies that we will continue to lose games and get high draft picks.

Also getting a conditional pick?!?! There’s that 7th rounder baby!!! I was wondering if BA had lost his touch. Phew. Glad we gonna get the standard 7th. BA always ends his negotiations by saying “And now you pay the Billy Price!!! No deal without the 7th”.

I think it's a 3rd.

LOL. Love it

Sounds like a great pick to move for Bishop.

They should pay us two 2nds and a 7th to take Bishop.

If there is a goalie in the league with a worse health history than Raanta, it’s Bishop. Haha

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

I'm guessing conditional third if he re-signs?

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Sounds like a great pick to move for Bishop.

what do you mean...Dallas has to give us a 3rd & conditional 7th to take Bishop.

Didn’t Georgiev ask for a trade? That would be fine.

 

[RemoAZ]

Saw this replay to Lebrun. Concussion issues with Timmons?

 

[rt]

Didn’t realize Georgiev was still RFA after this season. I’d trade the Islanders 2nd for him. He’s only 25.

Timmins isn’t my favorite prospect. But Alan Hepple has the book on him. Good enough for me.

While Timmins was surprised by being selected so quickly on the second day, the defenseman believes his familiarity with Colorado’s head scout Alan Hepple played a role in the Avalanche selecting him. When you’re trying to score a job it’s typically about who you know that can help get you in the door, and the NHL is no different.

“I knew Al Hepple pretty well,” Timmins said. “I had a pretty good relationship with him.“

We don't need to waste any of the draft capital...just go get Dubnyk or better yet go get Lundqvist, let people see the king

I sorta feel like Bill Armstrong looks at Hutton like Tippett looks at Smith, so I think Hutton's going to be our starter.

Georgiev is 25. That’s 21 in goalie years. Might be good for Prosvetov to have a mentor.
