GDT: Free Agent Frenzy III: Freer and Frenzier

We've got just the jersey for him..

no no no......never should those worn again ever ..

 

[TennisMenace]

Way too quiet. Oh wait, I forgot Barber

Believe it or not, I like quiet. I don’t like to overpay and overextend years. Look at all the teams that get into trouble doing that.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Which we can probably trade down into a 2nd and 3rd at the next draft

More picks , more quebecers in the next draft in Montreal.

Canes on Aho: They can't match 60m+ in signing bonus, that's 3 years of receipt now. But if you go for 10m+ for Aho, why not go for 12m+ for Laine/Tkachuck? I suspect Calgary can match heavy front loading, but Winnipeg?

Aho is much better than these guys?

Still waiting for Lee/Gardiner to be off the market, so I can go do something else without worrying...

12M = 4 1st round picks
10.5M = 2 1st, 1 2nd, 1 3rd

 

[Rockomax]

But will he be the highest paid FA we sign today?

I see what you did there

 

[Runner77]

I think were just going to end up taking on a bad contract for some kind of payment, similar to the Armia deal.

That's how I see it. We're going to provide cap relief to someone since there is no big fish worth overspending on.

ahhahaha we are the same

 

[NobleSix]

Good , so your telling me we might get a first pick

Depends on the deal, but its likely we would get a good role player and a pick. Don't see Bergevin taking on a massive Lucic type deal, even with 13m in cap space.

The exact opposite of what both leaders on the team want. Weber and Price both said they don't want to wait.

Why do I feel like someone was blowing a huge bubble gum and it just burst in our faces...

Because Aho is better than both.

 

[Deebs]

Werenski would be a nice offer sheet

Maybe a Clarkson ?

 

[1909]

NO team will use offer sheets. Today, tomorrow, ever again.....

Because Aho is the better and more valuable player?

 

[Edgy]

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.

Why pay him more if you can save a mil or two? You know you can match any offer, try to get the best possible deal unless someone forces your hand. Seeing how he's an RFA and can't just up and leave, might as well use whatever leverage you have in the negotiations.

 

[Habsfan18]

If Molson wants to shell out a massive signing bonus to Sebastian Aho he could be ours. Not sure we go that route but we have the means to make it very very difficult for the Canes to match.

Laine>Aho....... At Fortnite.......

Pretty much. What else is there to look forward to?

 

[cphabs]

Seriously, the league, NHL, is a profit sharing socialist scam. Habs are a monetary powerhouse that has been emasculated since the cap. Me? Start dropping offer sheets to “level” the playing field.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the LTIR cap space only becomes "active" once the season has started so they have to be cap compliant with the 5.3M before the start of the season

You're allowed to be 10% over the cap in the off-season, which is like $89m right now. As long as they don't go over $86.8m, they'll be able to put $5,3m onto LTIR and be cap compliant. Currently, they're at $75.2m. That leaves them with $11.6m to sign Marner. But that leaves them with $0 cap space tho.

Lol. Love this post Couldn’t agree more
Still look like the Turkish leader

Laine>Aho....... At Fortnite.......

Man when i saw his stats of games he played in fornite this season
No wonder why he sucked so much on the ice

Dude literally played weeks of fortnite

 

[Dominator13]
