GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Part II

[chaosrevolver]

Our GM is useless I almost thought it was PG running things today. I mean a second in 2016 for Josh WTF at that point you keep the guy. Malholtra really and Gilbert and not qualifying White ugh ready for another 20 years of no cup you should be.

- Upgraded defensively
- Added a piece you can use for trade or in the draft
- Saved money in the process
- Added an excellent faceoff man

Great job by MB today for sure!

 

[Mario le Magnifique]

Who would you rather the Habs sign between Moulson or Vrbata if MB was after either?

Vrbata.

he is some ver underrated player around here. think of a 30goals scorer with WHEELS like no one and a deadly release. He carried Phoenix offense for years and IMo has a very good 2way game for an offenive player.

EDIT : sorry ppl I cant type for **** on this iphone

I'm so happy about getting rid of Josh Gorges. So happy. I wanted to tell you how happy I was to see him gone.

Havlat to the devils per tsn

injured himself by answering the phone, out for the usual 40 games

There's potential and reality. I mean, it's not like he was a PPG in the KHL. Guys that were great at PPG in the KHL or almost PPG are named Brandon Bochenski and Nigel Dawes. So it's all POTENTIAL for Sekac. Not immediate results.

It is encouraging to know that as many as 15 teams were trying to sign him. The NHL is a different story however in terms of talent and speed and it will be a big adjustment in the first year, I am hopeful though, we have a great management team in place and I have faith in this signing.

What are you talking about???
Bergevin did good. He re-established balance in our defensive squad. Gilbert is better than Gorges, Weaver brings the same as Gorges. Both are RHDs. This will make Emelin go back to his left side where he is better.
Maholtra is a good 4th line center with strong faceoff skills, which we needed.
We also upgraded from Briere to PAP.

Gorges was going to be moved, he blocked a trade to Toronto. We needed cap space. I don't have an issue with the trade and glad we finally upgraded him.
Give your head a shake.

Really don't see Montreal giving Vrbata the contract he wants at this stage.

I think we get our RW via trade.

With more guys already signing his value is probably increasing now as well.

Moulson to the Sabres

Only thing you can really complain about is the return on Gorges. Otherwise I think we did pretty well today.

Vrbata.

Yeah Vrbata for sure.

But Iginla would also be a good option. Big strong goal scorer with leadership and class. Would be a good fit in Montreal but of course depends on what he's looking for.

Still can't believe Stewart wasn't coming back in the Gorges trade.. Really believed it would be him.

 

[DavePeak]

so you wanna pay 5mil a year for an 18-20 goal guy, just cause you want something to talk about today?

No, I just say that on July 1st a lot of UFAs receive too much money for what they're actually worth.

I wouldn't mind Vrbata coming our way though, or even better, Iginla. It's just that the market price is high today.

Over the last two days:

IN - Parenteau, Gilbert, Malhotra, Sekac, 2nd Round Pick, 5th Round Pick
OUT - Briere, Gorges, White, Gionta, Murray, Boullion
KEPT - Weaver

We have clearly gotten better and yet people still complain.

 

[waffledave]

We are done. Bergevin addressing media at 3:30

 

[EveryDay]

Not much left on the market...... plz get Vrbata Bergy!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Surprised Moulson went back to Buffalo. Thought he'd go with NYI before BUF if he was choosing a former team.

i loled

People overrate Gorges like crazy around here. 4M for a guy who has zero offense, is not big, not fast, doesn't hit...

Plus his value was kinda ruined given everything that went down.

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC now
Moulson to BUF 5x5

Lol this is the exact contract gionta got from the habs .. Both were 30 years old too

 

[NobleSix]

Amazingly as active as we've been last two days there's still a glaring hole at RW so I think we can all expect 1 more signing unless they give to a rookie which they never do lol

MB will try to make a RW signing, for sure. Whether it materializes or not, well... that's yet to be seen.

I'd think MB would be ready to make a trade for a top 6 RW. I mean, it's our biggest glaring need right now.
