GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[weaponomega]

It's times like these I wish there was still Free Agent compensation.

I want Matt Cooke nowhere near this team, I hope he is traded west so the Bruins only see his ugly mug only 1 time a year at the most.

 

[howaryuh]

Cooke. Really?
Okay.

Now I know I'm done here

Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.
My fanship for the B's would go in stealth mode if Cooke was ever part of the team.

 

[LavioletteScores]

Trying to think under the radar; would Chia trade for Martin Havlat?

 

[Scotto74]

Question, would you trade for Dany Heatley if Minnesota ate say 35% of his cap hit?

teams can't eat cap hits in the NHL. I wish that was part of the CBA would makes trades more available and throw an entire new angle into making deals.

Yes im aware. He changed up his act. He was a bit to dirty back in the day. But i believe and NHL analysts believe he changed up his act. I know Boston probably wont sign him. But that's a type of player they need. Thornton on his way out soon, due to age.

-You guy's are just disagreeing because of what he did. If he didn't do anything to a Bruin player in the past you guys would agree.

* Im sorry if i offended any Bruin Fan's i was just making a suggestion.

Camara lok him up OHL Barrie Colts thats our New Thornton.





TP I am not saying anything about Cooke

 

[BostonBruins92]

loleafs

 

[BB624]

Yes i do. Do you? He is one of my favorite players. He can put up numbers as a 3rd line grinder.

He put up 21 points in 48 games played last season?

-2008-09 season. 31 points, 101 PIMS.
-2009-10 season. 30 points, 106 PIMS
-2010-11 season. 30 points, 129 PIMS
-2011-12 season 38 points, 44 pims.

He averages around 28-37 points. Why wouldn't you want that type of player on your team? Those are the types of players you want for playoffs. A player who is willing to block shots, bring energy, crash the net, Agitate the other team.

-Just because you dislike him or his style of game, doesn't mean you have to hate on him. He is a good player.

- That's what the NHL and more teams need is players like that.

And whatever good will and trust the players have in Chia/Neely would be instantly gone.

The trust and good will of fans would be gone instantly.

No he didn't! He's just avoided suspension because Bettman gives Lemieux reach arounds. He played like a thug in the playoffs.

Clarkson is just like when we signed Lapointe...except it's longer term.

 

[Gee Wally]

What's with all the 7 year deals? Most of these guys aren't the kind of players you sign for 7 years.

I don't want any part of a 7 year deal for a player who isn't in the core group you build around and outside of the Chara like deals you rarely sign those core guys up during free agency.

Would rather see Chia look for a trade or promote from within-but please stay away from the Pandolfos-would rather have a youngster with speed than a slow aging veteran in the 13th slot.

Exactly.

I like steak but I'll be damned if I pay thirty bucks a pound for it.
Packages being thrown out there are ****ing nuts.

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Yeah but if we're using this logic what does that make Clowe?

Still a bad deal but Clowe has averaged 53 pts per 82 games over his career. 165% higher than Clarkson.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Are there any rumours about the Bruinsright now?

I would settle for a 1y deal for Jagr.

hitler reaction to Alfie leaving...

You can retain salary now...

 

[DKH]

Cooke. Really?
Okay.

Now I know I'm done here

Zero chance Cooke either troll or pink hat unaware of history

 

[GrindNMuck]

Camara lok him up OHL Barrie Colts thats our New Thornton.

I know who Camara is. I know someone well that played in the OHL against him for awhile. He looks good.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

They can now, can they not? New CBA rules?

 

[Danton Heineken]

Never thought I'd say this ever, but thanks for deleting that post. I made a snarky attack at his grammar and actually made a spelling error.

The pinnacle of internet embarrassment.

 

[Gargyn]

Trying to think under the radar; would Chia trade for Martin Havlat?

i would be ok with it if sanjose ate most of the cap hit...havlat at 2 per year is a good player if he stays healthy, which is not often

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Actually that was changed in the new CBA, it is possible now.

 

[GrindNMuck]

Redwings need a second line C. Weiss?

 

[chrisab123]

Still a bad deal but Clowe has averaged 53 pts per 82 games over his career. 165% higher than Clarkson.

True. How the hell did Clowe land that deal after that horrid season?

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Question, would you trade for Dany Heatley if Minnesota ate say 35% of his cap hit?

50% yes. Anything less, no.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Let's trade for Hemsky.
