GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[Ratbath]

Even Ben Gleason is getting paid for multiple years with Oilers. Great year to be a defenseman.

First of all… when Pesce?

Second, if not Pesce, who else is available for trade? I believe Hanifin is. Is Tanev available or are people just assuming everyone on the Flames is available at this point? Anyone else available that is worthy of being paired with Miro?

Lastly, when Pesce?

 

[Dallasman]

AHL depth

 

[Satan]

Very cool

 

[serp]

former #8 overall pick in 2012 .

 

[serp]

Bayreuther , Pouliot and Petrovic . Strong AHL veteran blueline . Also re-signed Rosburg. We'll see how Kyrou , Grushnikov , White and Bichsel handle that. Assuming Gavin White will play alot of ECHL

Saturday after Carolina completes the Tony D trade?

Bayreuther spent most of his time in the NHL and just signed a one-way contract. He belongs in the AHL on this team, but there were plenty of guys they could have signed two-way for the AHL.

I think it's something to watch. It's not like Dallas has a problem carrying 8 D. They've done it often. They must have really wanted Bayreuther for Texas to pay him one-way if that is what ultimately happens.

It's an odd contract.

 

[catters078]

Can't assume we will have the same luck with health as last year. So fair to have some NHL level depth.

Assuming no more adds varying an in season trade this is the NHL group..

Miro
Lindell
Harley
Suter
Hakanpaa
Lundqvist

Hanley
Bayreuther

Could see Hanley and Bayreuther getting 25 games each

I went to the prospect camp today. As for D, I was looking for something out of Grush and Kyrou among those said to be on the NHL track (someday). Nothing stood out. I saw Bertucci and Minnetian, with the latter making a few nice plays.

Are they at the Frisco practice facility?

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

They were, yes.

Hakanpää had knee surgery after the playoff run and may not be ready at the start of next season . I had forgotten about that but someone in the general trade forum reminded me. It's a cheap insurance policy. If Hakanpää is ready Bayreuther will be send down

Last season also was a massive aberation with how little injuries the team had. There's no way you can plan for that to happen again. Team was very incredibly lucky . Barely any regular skater missed time and every single one played ~70 games thats just unsual .

 

[Troy McClure]

Yeah, I'm worried the hockey gods are going to realize the Stars were extremely lucky last season. For the skaters, there were no injuries of note. Wedgewood's long injury ended up being costly only because of how the team handled it, but overall, it was a rare kind of season where it's like someone went into the settings and turned off injuries.

Good to hear Pesce is still in play. Didn't know he had a NTC, that's good to hear as it likely lowers his value slightly and no one he puts Dallas on the not trade list.

Why Nashville though? Pesce seems like trade target for a team looking to win now and Nashville's moves this year and last don't indicate a win now mentality.

 

[eartotheground]

time for another gmjn steal of a trade.

 

[Kcb12345]

Tarasenko switches to Matt Duchene's agent

 

[Zapp]

Watch Nill sign Tarasenko and steal a winger FA from Carolina again .

 

[M88K]

Watch Nill sign Tarasenko and steal a winger FA from Carolina again .

the last one didn't work out so well

 

[skygodz187]

Actually this one could if they moved marchment and this is where it would be hard to do so.

Sharks like their Czechs. 3 teams, Faksa, something something Karlsson
