GDT: Free Agent Frenzy 2021 - 9AM

[TheLegend]

Another one off the market

The noose around Joe Sakic just got tighter.

 

[Mosby]

So what's Colorado gonna do? Bring back Dubnyk? Yeah right...

Remaining UFA goalies based on GP last season

24 - Rask
22 - Dubnyk
14 - Hogberg
12 - McElhinney

Every else played seven or less.

 

[Mosby]

Too much is being made of Kuemper's pending UFA status. The acquiring team can just re-sign him.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I'd bring back Dubnyk on a cheap deal if we trade Kuemper. One of him or Hutton could find their game.

 

[Sinurgy]

Further back, think generational player.

This one is easy, it's definitely Super Mario!

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Pius Suter off the board to Detroit.

 

[TheLegend]

7 years, $63 million for Dougie Howser in New Jersey.

This was supposed to be the summer when Chaka brought in some high priced talent to make a run. Son of a biatch.

He already did.....

He brought in Kessel...

He brought in Hall....

Then he ran.....

 

[TheLegend]

Ullmark is 4x $5 million AAV

Chayka traded picks like a cup contender despite not even having a playoff team.

Adrian dater confirms coyotes asked for newhook in exchange for Kuemper but were told no. Says timmins could be part of package, but other teams have more substantial offers

I think BA wants newhook bad and it’s trying to use the other teams’ offers to force sakic’s hand. Avs fans in his responses are already unhappy that timmins could go the other way. Sakic has never really been painted into a corner like this and BA I think knows it

I'd add a 2nd or a 50% off Kessel for Newhook. Maybe even Kessel + a 3rd.

I would do a lot to get newhook for his upside. He would instantly jump hayton and Jenik to become our best center prospect and he’s arguably nhl ready. We have the pieces to sweeten the pot as well as the leverage to pry him out

 

[YotesFan47]

David Krejci is still on the board. Any chance we asked him how open he'd be to a 1 year deal as the captain in Arizona?

 

[Foggy1097]

It’s ok. BA is going to take a solid offer from BUF or EDM, or Sakic is going to realize that he is absolutely effed next year without a goalie, and can’t win a Cup, and he’s going to get desperate and up his offer…either way it’s a win.

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

NHL players are competitive by nature and want to win, but you can't win if you don't have enough talent. Of course there could be a bad apple or two within the roster that makes many to believe it's most of the players, but it's the GM's job to get the players for the coach to coach, and if they aren't good at their job you have the Coyotes the last number of years. Most players on the Yote's last year are not losers like some are saying, probably because of frustration, but I think the players frustration is much higher. Doan said he is OEL's biggest fan and thinks he is a great player, and he also likes the way Garland approached the game or something to that effect. I do think players get stale and need a change of scenery and that bringing new players in can change the culture in that respect. Same goes for coaches. Same goes for you and I in life, but it doesn't mean you or I are losers at our job

Well, personally, I think Goligoski falls under that bad apple category in terms of his mentality. When he admitted he lost his love of the game he should have been gone at that point, imo. He could fall under that "stale" category but there are guys who just are who they are. He's one of those guys (to me). He should never be a leader in a hockey room if that team expects to win.

Also, I think all should be held accountable from owner down to each player. Goligoski can't get off the hook because of "lack of talent"... because he still didn't give his best effort every night. If we lost and he tried hard every game, I'd have no issue with him.

If we're looking to rip off the Avs - it's good thing we hired Hepple. Just the guy to have the inside track on which of their prospects are for real.

Good example is Timmins. I’m not a believer. Never have been. But if Hepple says he’s the truth and he’s less enthused about Barron or Helleson then so be it.

 

[jdfitz12]

Sakic should of locked up Grubauer months ago... he probably would of taken 5x5

 

[technoviking]

Ullmark is 4x $5 million AAV

Wow.

 

[Mangosteen]

Chayka traded picks like a cup contender despite not even having a playoff team.

We were 2nd in the WEST when we traded for Hall. I personally would do it again

 

[DoanStopBelievin]

We were 2nd in the WEST when we traded for Hall. I personally would do it again

And that is why I am glad that neither you nor Chayka is our GM today

 

[technoviking]

Understood, but watching them play they weren’t world beaters or anything. I’m pretty sure that was the year we went and beat St Louis and Washington back to back in shootouts, kind of a flukey beginning to a season.

[TeamTourigny]

I'd add a 2nd or a 50% off Kessel for Newhook. Maybe even Kessel + a 3rd.

I think there is only $1m owed Kessel for the year and that's it. There really isn't a retention issue for another team, only if they can absorb a $6.8m cap hit.
