GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

This.

Or gamble on Semin for 1 year. Semin-Datsyuk-Helm/Tats/Gator

Nothing worse then helm in the top 3....or top 6. Hands of Damn stone,

Holland awake yet

Holland has been awake since 5:30 shining up his golf clubs. July 1st is his favorite day, he gets to turn his cell-phone off and play a completely peaceful 18 holes.

The cancer of Semin on a fat contract is far worse.

Yeah, he was just the straw that stirred the drink on the best and most dynamic line we had all season.


And to the other poster, signing Semin to a 1 year deal at 3M or less is a boom or bust option for 1 freaking year.

Semin would drive this fan base insane. He is a terrible floater and does not play defense at all. He often will slowly skate back and trail on the backcheck in a half hearted attempt to appear to play defense. His offensive output offset his reluctance to play two way hockey but even that has dropped off. I would not be happy if we picked him up

I think playing with Datsyuk would get him going.

 

[Frk It]

Just say no to Matt Beleskey.

 

[Run the Jewels]

I can see Holland trading Andreas Athanasiou as part of a package for Patrick Sharp. Let me say right now that I really, really, really hope that doesn't happen.

 

[bullocks]

Holland won't want semin lol guaranteed

I think playing with Datsyuk would get him going.

I've watched a lot of Semin when he was at his peak here in DC. He played with Ovechkin, Feds, Backstrom, and high character guys like Laich. He always put in 3 times the effort in offense and never backchecked - he would just space out or slowly skate back to the blue line and wait providing zero puck help.

I love Datsyuk, but I don't think it has anything to do with him. Semin will be a 20g guy next to him, but at the expense of zero effort on defense and or any effort on puck pursuit.

 

[Frk It]

They like Beleskey, who's 27, but expect he'll get between $4.5 million and $5 million a season

Helllllllllllllll no.

Helllllllllllllll no.

No no no no. Lets the Leafs overpay him.

I like Beleskey but nooooope.

 

[bullocks]

I think holland goes after green and ehroff (tho he spurned them for Pitts last year), maybe Martin.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Helllllllllllllll no.

"We probably have interest on the market in guys that are shorter term rather than longer term, depending who they are," Holland said.

Yeah, that screams older player happy to accept a 1-3 year deal. So maybe Visnovsky and possibly Justin Williams. I kinda hope if we don't reel in a major acquisition like Green that Holland does the usual - nada.

 

[Vladdy84]

I'm down to sign a forward who will keep Joker out of the lineup. And keep Luke on the 4th line.

 

[Ishad]

Super excited to find out what tires we kick today!

[Vladdy84]

The Bruins make no sense to me...

 

[Kronwalled55]

The fact that we're supposedly interested in so many forwards just doesn't make sense to me.

 

[Frk It]

Which ones are you seeing, and where?

I just have seen Beleksey, but I am seeing several people saying he gets at least 5 mil. Holland would have to be off his ****ing rocker.

Honestly guys, there is no way Abdelkader doesn't get paid as an impending UFA next year. By us or someone else.

 

[Shaman464]

To imply that moves they have made in the past few weeks have made sense?

Who has said were interested in forwards besides hfboards? No one reputable I believe.

 

[Retire91]

Holland only has a few more hours to extend Cleary right? Before 29 other teams have a shot at him?

Joel Ward and Justin Williams were also in that article.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

The Matt Beleskey love baffles me. Signs of a weak class.

Just screams bust signing/over payment. Of course he had his best season in a contract year.
