GDT: Free Agent Frenzy / Fantasy GM Thread Part 4

[vanarchy]

Petro got pretty much the expected term/dollars even during covid lol.

I doubt we are getting Schmidt unless Vegas has no other options. Or Benning becomes desperate and way overpays. He has to be feeling the heat from the fans, the media and ownership.

If they trade Schmidt, he's definitely going to Boston. They're out of division, have more cap space, and can offer more. And they're a better team than us.

That is absolutely pathetic "team building" from Benning.

I don't even like Virtanen but who the hell else is playing top six for the canucks next season if Jake isn't doing it?

I would have guessed Leivo but they haven't even signed him. I also assume it wouldn't be Gaudette because they've been stubborn about trying him in a top six wing role for years now

Eriksson? Baertschi? Good god.

I'd guess you have something like Gaudette-Pettersson-Boeser/Miller-Horvat-Pearson. And then an absolute pile of junk on your bottom two lines.

My guess is that they are going to add someone on a 1 year deal from free agency- Hoffman, Dadanov, Duclair, Granlund, Perry, Kovalchuck, Haula, Galchenyuk, Sheary- lots of names still available that may start to panic before all the rest of the teams blow their load on others.

Florida will grab him for a song and Benning will go sniffing around for Weegar and either overpay or miss on that also.

Hell yeah!!!!

Eriksson- Sutter - Concussed Ferland
Roussel - Beagle - Motte

And man, Sakic is just clowning the league. Clears Zadorov to get a better player in Saad. And because he isn't an idiot with the cap, he's in a position to acquire good players from other teams in a cap bind.

Toews will fit like a glove there. Slide in right next to Makar, and put Graves in a more appropriate 3rd pair role.

This is where the Canucks should be. Instead, we're celebrating the peak of Meaningful Games 2020 and looking at another step back.

Vegas are in there cup window and have multiple prospect and picks. Shouldn’t cheap out and just use those to move fleury

 

[Canucks LB]

Only a third!!! Wow

 

[Red]

[DonnyNucker]

Only a third!!! Wow

No way.

 

[Canucks LB]

Absolute f***ing robbery by Jim

 

[polarbearcub]

Wtf

 

[Red]

I literally can't believe this is true. Highlight of Benning's life.

 

[canucksfan]

That’s insane. No one else could top that?

 

[ziploc]

Is this true?

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Holy shit. An unbelievable move.

 

[Nucker101]

Holy flying f***

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

No way.

I swore this was a fake account

 

[Red]

How the f*** did literally no one top that lmao????

I'm genuinely SHOOK

 

[Tonystretcher]

LFG!!! Benning did something good!

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Woo hoo some faith has been restored!

 

[NoShowWilly]

That's f***ing unbelievable

 

[DonnyNucker]

I swore this was a fake account

It doesn’t make any sense. Why would they give home away?

 

[drivier]

Only a third!!! Wow

$6 million cap hit for 5 for years. Someone tell me Schmidt at 29 years of age is better than my eyes and recollection have told me. Someone bring out the advanced analytics or something so I can get behind this... please?
