Rumor: In-season Proposals, Rumors, Free Agents & Roster Moves (related topics) LXVI

[Gigantor The Goalie]

I'm a bit surprised there are so many RFAs not signed by now. I figured once camp neared, most of them would sign.

Krug
R. Smith
Dillon
Eakin
Johansen
Schwartz
Ellis

They can't sign until either Boychuk+is sent away to make room to sign them or they'll have to wait until Savard's LTIR kicks in.

 

[cgf]

Well Boston can't sign their guys til they make a trade, the jackets and johansen won't stop acting like spoiled children any time soon, and Ellis is just too hard to put a fair number on for a team that don't need him.

Surprised Schwartz and Dillon didn't get solved before camp though.

 

[Freudian]

You can exceed the cap by 10% in the off-season, so it shouldn't be an issue for Boston to sign them.

No progress, no talks (so far) today between #CBJ and Ryan Johansen's agent, Kurt Overhardt. #JoeyWatch #day3

But after discussing long-term deals earlier this week, both sides seem to agree that a two-year deal makes the most sense. #JoeyWatch #day3

still have to be cleared by day 1 and i think they get little more cap space by placing savard on LTIR no later than day 1.

I've been wondering this to, only been one tweet.

And it was from a relatively small rumor site out of Quebec it looks like. Doesn't seem likely to happen at this point but who knows.

This was the google translated tweet and comment from their website that they reference sportsnet, but I couldn't find it there. Maybe it was mentioned on the radio.

The name of the 36-year veteran defenseman Derek Morris [ stats ] circulates in the entourage of the Oilers and Avalanche. [ SportsNet ]

So Boston never offered the RFAs anything because they can't fit it in right now due to the CBA? They had to at least offer the qualifying right?

they offered krug some joke offer that i posted here some time ago. like 1.25 mil for 1yr or something.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

The Avalanche said they had one player on a PTO at this camp. Is it Morris or someone else?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Kenny Ryan

I imagine Morris would have been out there if he was on a PTO, and someone would have noticed.

Yea, how do you offer a 40 point defenseman (who also put up 10 points in 12 playoff games) a one year $1.25M deal, and then hold him out of camp while you play games with the cap?

I really don't understand why the PA and his agent aren't making a big fuss about this.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Kenny Ryan

This guy got a PTO? Who the hell is Kenny Ryan? I don't like trusting people with two first names.

Probably because they have a hard number they want and won't entertain Boston until they meet it.

 

[cgf]

Also wouldn't be surprised if they have the framework for a deal that's satisfactory mostly worked out for when the cap space opens up, and krug doesn't want to put himself in the firing line the way rj has for something he's going to get anyway.

very much possible. would explain why things are so quiet, too. same with smith.

 

[shadow1]

Morris would be a good try out. Though I have high hopes for Redmond, the RHD position on Colorado's third pairing is the biggest question mark in the unit.

Link isn't working for me but if it's the guy taken one spot after Elliott by Toronto then yes. Doesn't look bad either.

 

[shadow1]

Colorado should try to get Leddy is he's available.

I say this forgetting they're a division rival.

2nd round pick by the Leafs in 09. Might as well give him a chance.

Leddy isn't as impressive as people like to think. We also have no need for a 2nd/3rd pairing left handed PMD. 1st pairing LHD or nothing.

And I don't see a PTO hurting, just really odd to use a PTO on a recent draft pick playing AHL/ECHL hockey. Isn't that more of an ATO?

Well what's the difference?

About 5 bank accounts, 3 ounces and 2 vehicles.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Our ATOs are junior players. I don't know what the exact line of distinction is when it becomes a PTO. I also read something in the CBA where ATO can be unpaid.

Ryan looked decent, nothing amazing but almost a shame he's not sticking around. I assume? Maybe he can get a AHL contract.

 

[TheStranger]

I assume that if Morris was going to come here on a PTO he'd be here already. Actual camp is pretty much over. How often to PTOs join up in the middle of pre-season when the coach already has ideas on what the team is going to look like?

I doubt he'll be joining at this point.

You don't trust our coach?
