agent for Lee Stempniak says he "doesn't expect it to happen," when asked about player re-signing with #nhljets #bn #ufa2015


This makes me sad.

Wow, that's really unfortunate. Really liked Stemp.

Eric Fehr, if the contract is right, could be given another shot, he had a great year...could help us quite bit..

As long as he stays reasonably cheap. He did have elbow surgery this off season.

Should be ready to go for the season start, but you never know. He got hurt during the playoffs IIRC.

 

[untouchable21]

Adam Pardy. Why aren't they upgrading?

 

[untouchable21]

Now Halischuk again. *sigh*

 

[untouchable21]

Not expecting big names and nothing against Pardy, but come on. Need better depth. Will be disappointed in as reported, Stempniak chooses to go elsewhere.

You should go to the GDT. Echo chamber in here for the next while, I suspect.

According to Eklund, we are interested in Corey Crawford, hard to believe unless Jets are planning waiving Pavs

All Crawford does is win. I'm serious. It's like my rant against Ladd, all he does is score.

I'm going to shut this one down until the "frenzy" dies down - feel free to post in the GDT for now: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1921321

Who's Romang?

So Tessier suggesting Flyers interested in either Enstrom or Buff.

Well they have a number of LH dmen prospects - Sanheim, Morin, Haag and now Provorov.

They're not. Tessier is a hack.

The good ol' Hockeybuzz go-to Buff to Flyers rumor. I swear that's their #1 rumor they re-use on a monthly basis. Never fails.

Very impressive......watch out Ducks!

Who exactly should we have signed?

 

[veganhunter]

Who exactly should we have signed?

Even if he gives you some names others are going to jump on it and say "How do we know they would want to come to Winnipeg?" or "How do we know they would have signed with Winnipeg for that amount?" which seem to be the go to excuses for a lot of inaction over the years and is also an unanswerable question.

 

[Hunter368]

Who exactly should we have signed?

[mod]

Was there better FA's out there? Yes

Would they have signed in the Peg? Who knows...

Would Mr Perf...Chevy opened his tight purse stings? Doubt it

Will we add 1-2 more bottom feaders? Maybe, July 2nd only.

Weak year overall for FA's.

IMO we're starting this season weaker then we ended last year.....doubt Pavs repeats his career best year....who knows how Hutch does...wild card still. Few kids might get a chance this year, we'll see how they do...another wild card. I'm expecting regression this season....said it for months and months.

I'm curious what Chevy does with Ladds contract and how he handles Buff. These are the only two things that interest me that might happen this summer......otherwise long boring summer with nothing changing.

 

[AWSAA]

Who exactly should we have signed?

Other than the Connor pick, Burmi coming back... offseason has been a bust so far.


- We needed an upgrade over Stafford, likely would have required a trade.

- Stuart on the 2nd pairing, Ondrej still starting in net in year five. That #### is unacceptable. Our GM continues to ignore glaring weaknesses that will handicap the team's chances of making the playoffs.

Byfuglien has to be moved without an extension.

 

[StronGeer]

Oh, is free agency over?

News to me.

When have I ever praised Chevy.? He's far from perfect and I'm a bit insulted that you characterize my comment that way Why would you attach that to me? Because I don't join in with you anf pile on?

I for one am happy our GM doesn't overpay on FA frenzy day, The only player I wanted him to sign yesterday was Fro and I have been critical of Chevy for not getting it done.

I am not negative about our GM, only slightly positive, yet i am far from someone who calls him perfect. Why would you assosciate me with that? Just beacause I won't join you in piling on? Labeling me incorrectly does not help any of your arguments.
