GDT: Free Agent Frenzy II

[sukimono]

All a part of the plan to attract free agents: free hair cuts for all!!!

Poor Ménick... went out of fashion.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Knowing MB he hopes it's Suzuki - or whoever he signs today.

I think Poehling makes the team and Suzuki plays AHL

 

[the valiant effort]

Tyler Myers being TSN’s 5th best UFA just shows how this is yet another UFA class to avoid

Missing out on Duchene is as tragic as it would have been to miss out on a top 3 pick in 2012

 

[Edgy]

Love 'em or hate 'em.. Gardiner is the best Left D available on the board... and Simmonds the next best Right Winger
There's always demand for those positions. Unless you prefer Jason Pominville...

The demand is for good players, those 2 are not and will be overpaid if they come here. 0 interest in either.

Good move for Laval. I've liked him for awhile. He's a 20-30 goal scorer in the AHL. We need some goal scorers down there.

 

[Gravity]

Ça sent la coupe!

Lol, I like the avy change

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Oh god

 

[ottawa]

1) That is not what I was arguing about. I was purely talking about Poehling the player, not Poehling the trade asset.

2) When's the last time the Habs had a 6'3 210 pound center ahos dominating his peers like Poehling? Don't compare "latching on" to Poehling like he's Danny Kristo or Sebastian Collberg.

3) Calm the F down.

Who cares.

Go for the big fish, Poehling should not be a non-starter.

 

[JuicyHam]

Eerily quiet is right. It's unnerving and definitely a bit unsettling

 

[holy]

The chatter is on this site, these guys want a buzz so bad.

Elliot Friedman should be forced to do his next telecast facing away from the camera if the Habs don't do anything today.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Kinkaid only visited Montreal. Cool.

 

[Runner77]

lol

 

[LaP]

THIS IS IT BOYS!!

Still trying to find the diamond in the rough i see ...

BTW it should be Welcome Laval and not Welcome Mtl.

 

[sheed36]

Leafs have barely the money for marnet let alone Gardiner

If Leafs get a d-man its gonna be a trade with Kadri

According to CapFriendly they currently have 20 players signed with 10.7m of cap left + Hortons 5.3m LTIR so they still have a bit of space left for Marner + a D. Not sure what else they can move out to create cap space but it's not impossible to add Gardiner IMO.

 

[JuicyHam]

People are getting really hostile in here. I hope something happens soon so it just crashes

Hmm I'm not advocating for the Habs to sign them, I'm just saying it's silly to think there is zero demand throughout the league for them.

Canes have a war chest for those very specific reason. They can and will match any offer he gets.

Yeah if money was not an issue for carolina , Aho would already be signed 8 years at 9m

If that's the case then why not just sign the dude? What's with the low ball offers? Kid put up 83 pts last year with very little help.
