GDT: Free Agent Frenzy - July 1st - Coyotes not done? NHL Network

[Name Nameless]

I see your Bobrovski and call with Kevin Hayes. At least Goalie Bob might be worth his salary for some of the years.

Kevin Hayes is IMHO one of the most overrated players in the league.

Kevin Hayes is IMHO one of the most overrated players in the league.

Imo a 3rd line center signed for 7 years at over $7 million.

 

[Grimes]

Why does Ottawa always bail out TOR? That Ceci trade is ridiculous.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

4 x $5 for ferland? He will score some goals, miss a bunch of games and bet the crap out of a few players that look at Keller the wrong way. Or touch OEL.

Wouldn't give Ferland 5m. 4x4m is pushing it. I think Simmonds gets more money than Ferland, while Ferland gets term.

 

[TheLegend]

Goodbye Louie looks like Tampa got themselves a new backup unless they flip McElhinney.

Tampa also gets Luke Schenn lol. Thats their answer answer to being physically abused every playoffs?

At least Louie’s got a sense of humor...

 

[Grimes]

AHO GOT AN OFFER SHEET!!!

 

[Jamieh]

AHO GOT AN OFFER SHEET!!!

Not really. 5 years at $8.5 million.

 

[LuckyNumber11]

Louis seemed to have some kind of a cult following of Tampa fans. Kind of funny to look through all the replies there

 

[TheLegend]

Two other teams were in and willing to offer sheet. Canes have said they will match.

 

[Jamieh]

Have not seen anyone say Aho signed it? Very easy match.

 

[azcanuck]

super excited about Aho. Hope the offer forces the Canes to make a trade with Montreal. He's a legit game changer.
As far as the coyotes losing Panik was not good. He's one of the few players on the squad with size, grit and skill. I know he was a bit of a whipping boy but he was valuable.

Too late for a trade now. They either match and can't trade Aho for a year or they take the picks.

Very confusing, unless Aho has signed it, this is just talk, in a way.

I guess Habs says this to drive up his contract.?

 

[TheLegend]

Scott Wedgwood also signed with TBL.

One hell of an AHL goalie roster there.

Just heard Carolina has the contract so it has been signed.

 

[TheLegend]

Habs have something like 11 picks in next year’s draft so they can afford to give up a couple.

 

[Name Nameless]

Just heard Carolina has the contract so it has been signed.

Then the Habs did this as a favour to Carolina, that was easy.

 

[jmichael7753]

Aho has indeed signed the contract from Montreal.

 

[rt]

So MoJo, Dzingel and like no one else is left huh? Those were my top two targets. Hopefully we land one.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

Easy match even tho the signing bonus is high. Habs should've offersheeted himat 10.5m. up the bonus he's due in the first year up like 5+ million. Would've cost one more 1st but this offersheet is a joke.

 

[Name Nameless]

Aho has indeed signed the contract from Montreal.

Odd of him to sign. It's not a very high contract, I thought all the RFAs were going bananas. Anyhows, I can see people talking about the front-loaded bonuses. But as the Canes just had a deep run, I imagine they have more money than normally. (Changes in ownership, theirs, aside.)

 

[Jamieh]

 

[moosemeister]

Would be happy to get MoJo, Dzingle, or Ferland

Would be fine if we sat on our hands and went into the season as is

Maroon and Ferland are still available AFAIK.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Maroon and Ferland are still available AFAIK.

Chayka tried getting Maroon last year - wonder if he takes another crack at him now that he's won a Cup.
