GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Day 1

[Waffle Fries]

I love it.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Been pretty quiet regarding Boedker. I wonder if hes asking for too much or the interest isnt there yet. Most likely the former.

 

[billybudd]

I won't argue his off ice behavior. He HAS made some bizarre decisions. But he wouldn't be a first one who would be very successful despite that issues.

As far as on ice behavior he seems to play quite differently in KHL and NHL (maybe he is a smart one after all). For comparison he was averaging over 1.7 PIM per game in Russia.

There's no KHL rule against hitting your coach over the head with your stick, spearing the penalty box guy, smacking the equipment manager in the back of the head or any of the other crazy stuff I've seen the guy do.

 

[BHD]

So many 5+ year contracts.

 

[billybudd]

I love it.

Salt in his apple juice

 

[ColePens]

Biznasty is killing it.

 

[flaneur]

I love it.

 

[Epic Neal Time]

Still some solid guys out there. Versteeg and Hudler come to mind.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Shero just can't resist those former Penguins, can he. I figured it would either be New Jersey or Washington who signed Lovejoy.

Lovejoy = Larsson replacement?

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Get rid of Kunitz and Fehr, sign Boedker for 4 years @ $4.5M/yr, trade MAF+Pouliot to Dallas for Niemi+Janmark.

Hall and Oates "You Make My Dreams Come True" plays.

JR. is gonna have to wait it out for some time to get these kind of guys real cheap.

Yeah Purcell, Boedker, and Hudler are the ones I think are still really good gets for someone. Isn't Demers still out there?

 

[Coastal Kev]

I know. I think we all know.

I also know I won't win the mega millions...but I will buy my ticket and dream anyways.

If I win mega millions, I'm posting a full frontal artistic nude here of myself.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Heck of a deal for Vasi if he can stay at or around how he looked against us.

Gotta think that's foreshadowing for Bishop. Deal with Dallas might be close.

I don't know, taking back one of those goalie contracts doesn't do Tampa any favors. They both have an extra year too.

Get an upgrade on Kunitz for Geno's LW or we are going to have one frustrated Russian.

Of course there is. But they were quite lenient when handling those cases. If you (as a player) know that ... I'm pretty sure even he has an idea that NHL wouldn't mind to make an example of him if something like that happens here.

Well not Versteeg. But hudler if he's taking a discount. I still want Connolly.

 

[deakka]

Have to trade for Connolly. He signed with Washington :-(

 

[Waffle Fries]

If he signs in Toronto at least we don't have to worry about him in the playoffs

 

[Malkinstheman]

Well not Versteeg. But hudler if he's taking a discount. I still want Connolly.

Signed with WAS

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Why would we want Connolly exactly? I've never understood why this board likes him.

You ever played GM mode and converted your entire roster into prospects or young players above a certain level of potential?

 

[Winger for Hire]

Has there been any buzz on Bødker today?

 

[sauce66871]

Well not Versteeg. But hudler if he's taking a discount. I still want Connolly.

Not saying this year will be a repeat, but after one solid year, it's made a 40 year old on the brink of retirement a desirable signing, and deserving of a significant raise... then yeah I could see one of these solid vet's coming here on a one year, cheap deal, like Hudler especially. He has the wheels and the skills to play well in our top-6.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

If I was an NHL GM that's how I'd probably run my team.

I'd still be a better GM than Benning, though.

Mother****ing hell.
