GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[BBKers]

I thought this deserves its own thread one hour before the official signings begin. Most of them seem to be announced already in this Twitter based world.

Ok BBKers, could ya pretty please with sugar on top tell us what you’ve heard?

Hoping for Duclair who I think Quinn can work with and one of Kunitz or Filppula, a Cup winner who can work with the kids.

If things pan out we will be eating a large cap hit for some real nice assets in return. There are several options. But things are not set in stone. Waiting game now.

I'd like to see more than one heist by Gorts with all that cap space to offer. Time to make Nill and Chia pay the freight.

Something you are hearing or something that you want?

I still think Lucic can be a very useful player especially if he plays with speedsters. And park his behind in front of the net on the PP 24/7/365.

5 years for a 31 year old Jack Johnson is f***ed up. I don't know what Pittsburgh is thinking.

The 5 year term for JVR is stretching that out about as far as it will go. At $7 mil per--that's probably going to haunt them in two/three years.

 

[RangerBlues]

Rangers not even attracting 4th line goons.
Gonna have a lot of open cap space come the trade deadline.

It's all about expectations. We know he isn't going to do what he did. But if ridiculously nice assets are coming back with him, he still has a skillset that can be valuable to this team.

$7m for a one-dimensional, albeit talented, player seems nuts. Do Philly see him as a piece that'll put them over the top? Did they need secondary scoring?

So we've got 40 minutes before these boards crash.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Can we get this stickied? Useful to have a separate thread from the "around the league" and "roster building" to gather all today's shenanigans in one place, IMO.

Holden deciding between boston and vegas according to Mark Spector

THANK THE LORD

 

[RGY]

I like Bozak but we have no room

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Doughty's contract would scare me off from EK65 if I were Gorton, that is disgusting money that we should not be paying anyone.

 

[darko]

Leafs with Tavares still aren't winning. They should be fixing that blue line.

Hossa?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Bozak blows.

Glad we're staying away from the FA market for now. The secondary market will provide much better value
