GDT: Free Agent Frenzy - July 13th

[CanadianFlyer88]

Can't even land the ex-Wild guy.

Canucks radio says Brunette is coming to Vancouver.

Speaking of ex-Wild guys... Boudreau, Yeo, and Brunette all behind the Vancouver bench.

It's got to have retention. I can't imagine a team taking 3/24 of him.

I’d have to imagine they’re getting paid to take him. They were in on Petry too.

Is there anything left in the tank on Burns?

 

[IronMarshal]

There is nothing preventing the Flyes from a handshake agreement with JG, and holdilng off on the actual signing until they carve out cap room, and if they were really cynical, they'd suggest JG negotiate with other teams to create the impression he might not come to Philly, reducing the leverage of teams trying to extract value out of JVR.

If JG really is set on coming here, it's to his benefit to help out Fletcher carve out cap room at the lowest possible cost.

I just wrote something similar on the Lindblom thread. I was wondering about JG possibly not signing until after they are allowed to put Ellis on LTIR? Is that legal?

My best guess is that they'll expect a bounceback without playing 26 (!!) minutes/night anymore. That is an absurd workload for age 35 and 36 seasons.

Why does every Kevin Weekes breaking news video look like a hostage tape

They got killed for how they handled the market with Murray. But Campbell & Keumper are going for big deals. Samsonov is 24. I much rather that & Murray then pay the contracts those guys got.

He didnt have a bad season and seems to fit the mold of what Carolina likes to do. If they're extracting value out of his contract situation I don't see it as a bad move yet.

Props to knowing what tinder is.

This is one of those deals where it kept expanding until both teams said yes, isn't it?

 

[BiggE]

Let’s gooooo

 

[Tripod]

On ESPN+

Is that the TSN group, or SN?

ESPN is having their own panel from 12-2 and then switching to the TSN broadcast 2-6.
