GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[BBKers]

Have you heard any more whispers about what we're planning on doing, BBKers?

Nothing more the last days
Silence
I hope they get Detroit (for Nash) and a couple of other teams (for twins) caught in a crossfire
But likely it will be tough
Gorton needs access to Sathers dirtiest picks of other GMs
But that might be a showcase instead

 

[TheTakedown]

This would make my day...

yeah just heard it on sportsnet stream. It would be nice to see if a deal can be worked out regarding it.

 

[Avery16]

If Boston makes the effort for Shattenkirk and it seems to him that we take him for granted, maybe it makes the difference to him on a new home.

Also think the team no one is talking about now for a Nash trade is Dallas. They wanted lucic, and if that falls through and they still want a winger, then we gots one to trade to them...

Thank you for the update!

 

[BBKers]

It was quite clear Eriksson was going to vancouver to play with the declining twins. Heard there was some interest from NYR.
Did. Not. Want.

Nash and Kreider's value should continue to go up, especially after these ridiculous free agency deals.

Girardi and Staal's value went up the second that Hall was traded for Larsson.

If Rangers management thinks Hayes can step in 2C minutes, perhaps one of these bargain bin non-qualified RFA's are a good 3C stop gap. Brassard then becomes trade bait.

Gorton's letting the market set itself instead of trying to set it himself. Good move, considering we have nothing noteworthy to set the market with.

That all said, Zucc and Miller are the only wingers I'm comfortable with on this team.

Thank god.

Really hoping we have somewhere to unload Staal and Girardi to.. even if not in the beginning of the year, by december.

I'll feel much better if Staal is gone before the season starts though

 

[Miller Time NYR]

If Boston makes the effort for Shattenkirk and it seems to him that we take him for granted, maybe it makes the difference to him on a new home.

If not offering a ridiculous package, which we can't afford to do, is somehow a slight to him than so be it. If he really wants to play here he can take a look at the organization as a whole and wait until he's a free agent. Because if he's coming here eariler then that it would mean us taking another HUGE step back as an organization.

for twins?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

for twins?

Wonder twins Staal and Girardi May be.

 

[GAGLine]

for twins?

I think he's referring to Staal and Girardi.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Yost reporting Wiercoch to Colorado

 

[E-Train]

for twins?

Wonder twin Dan and Wonder twin Marc.

we need kevin hayes to woo vesey to come here.

signing vesey would be huge

i think patience is great. i fear our patience will morph into passivity and then desperation.

i still think kreider is in play.

 

[GAGLine]

Marc Staal? We can hope, right?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Marc Staal? We can hope, right?

Bidding war over Marc staal Detroit vs Winnipeg? Lord please!

 

[aufheben]

So let me get this straight: the Canadiens trade Subban because of "character issues", then go try to sign Radulov?

God all that's left for them is to sign Lucic. l.o.l.

The #Pens have re-signed Tom Sestito to a one-year, two-way contract with an AAV of $575K: http://pens.pe/29jpiHQ

Hate this guy

 

[HAPPY HOUR]

Get me Darren Helm and wake me up at the trade deadline when the Rangers, 9 points out of a playoff spot, are debating about whether to ship out Nash and Staal for young blood, or contemplating another "kick at the can" by acquiring Patrick Marleau, or the Sedan twins, for PB, Brady, and a 1st in 17.

Likely one of the 3 RFA fwds will be traded
If they think they can get good value + replace Kreider via UFA then they would be stupid to not at least consider
I fear for Bern tho

Sounds like #Flyers may be the front-runner of three teams in on Dale Weise.

Interested to see term

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Marc Staal? We can hope, right?

They desperately need a RHD, and we have a slightly used Girardi for sale.

Helm re-signed with Detroit.

I am sure just like every other team the D has to be young, and a great contract, and a 1st pairing. The demands this year are just silly.
