GDT: Free Agent Frenzy - Free Agency Starts at 11am CDT!

[Engebretson]

Bolland to Florida... and everybody laughs and laughs.

I'm pretty sure Bolland unplugged the phone after that call. I think I might still need to see it to believe it.

Somehow, it escaped me to include ... Mikko Lehtonen on the #mnwild's list of unrestricted free agents. He's going to market #khudobin

Completely forgot he existed.

Malkin I'll give you, but you can't factor Crosby's deal into it. Perry/Getzlaf signed at a lower cap, so as long as the %'s are roughly consistent, getting more than them isn't an overpayment. Toews/Kane also have Stanley Cup cred, which means a lot.

It's true. And they both definitely show up in the playoffs, which is something.

I'll be curious to see what they really do get in the end. And I hope it hurts for the Hawks to do it

Well that happened fast.

Niskanen's asking price just went up.

Wow. Thats low. Plenty of better offers out there.

 

[TZM]

What the.... Ehrhoff.

 

[Shoresy]

Christian Ehrhoff 1 yr to Pitt

 

[Avder]

Sportsnet speculating that Niskanen gets his deal done within the hour.

 

[Gaps]

Wow. Thats low. Plenty of better offers out there.

My thoughts exactly. Fletcher, why didn't we sign him to that contract?

 

[TZM]

Would've loved Ehrhoff with $4-5m a year.

 

[Miqqo]

Wow. Thats low. Plenty of better offers out there.

Maybe he thought he needs to show his value to get a bigger payday.

As a Leafs fan, I owe so much to Dale Tallon if that is true. He saved Nonis from himself.

 

[00xtremeninja]

I think Ehrhoff went to the Pens for a year.......................

 

[Victorious Secret]

Maybe he thought he needs to show his value to get a bigger payday.

but if there was bigger offers then people are aware of his value....

 

[W75]

Apparently Ehrhoff wants to play in Pittsburgh. That's the only explanation. Only one year and 4 mils, wow.

 

[grN1g]

My thoughts exactly. Fletcher, why didn't we sign him to that contract?

He probably was only willing to sign a contract like that with PIT. Cant under estimate a players desire to play for a certain team.

and hes setting himself up for a huge payday next year.

 

[DANOZ28]

anybody remember the winning % west vs east last year? i bet its worse for the east next year.

 

[00xtremeninja]

I think after playing in Buffalo, you'd gladly take the opportunity to play anywhere else.

 

[TZM]

If the Pens aren't at least in the ECF next season, I'll be surprised.

no question.
