GDT: July 1st, 2018 - Canes Free Agency Thread

Totally agree and never understood, aside from BP's perplexing usage - an almost obsessive commitment to handedness - the barrage of criticism here for Ryan. An HF-style piling on IMO. Not dissimilar to Riley Nash.

As for G's, I'd say Lehner but he's hardly THE answer.

I much prefer Riley Nash to the DR. Riley is really good defensively and had some speed. It's been too long for me to recall the offensive opportunities he had here but I don't recall Skinner being strapped to his hip.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Ryan/Giordano co-captains in Calgary?

 

[Stickpucker]

I think Lehner is being underrated. He won't be a top 10 goalie but he can hold a starters load.

Are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?

Yeah, unfortunately we had to stop when Semin joined the team, or else every other post would be “Phrasing.”

The horrible side of me wants to see what would happen when you put one of the worst, most mentally fragile goalies in recent history on a team with a berserking viking who will literally not tolerate that shit. Scott deserves it for eating away a season.

The swing to go from happy-go-lucky Cam to Lehner would be quite a doozy.

 

[Joe McGrath]

The thing about Lehner is that he’s absolutely nuts. If we’re going to have shitty goaltending again, might as well get a goalie fight or two out of it.

He comes from the land of the ice and snow
He's kicking Darling's ass
And he's putting on a show

I always wanted Bryz for that reason.
Why you heff to be mad?

 

[Joe McGrath]

I’m wondering if they give Mason a 1 year deal. Fits the MO of TD as both a cheap and he’s an unorthodox (right glove) goalie.

I don’t want that because he sucks out loud but I could see it happening

 

[dogbazinho]

It feels like a fantasy draft where you need a position but there is a run before your pick and pride just makes you skip the position entirely for the next several rounds.

 

[Canes]

As much as I dislike Derek Ryan's play, good for him. From playing in the CIS and some obscure European league to making over 10 million dollars in his career as a NHLer.

 

[Unsustainable]

I mean, he was the best of goalie interviews ever.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Those interviews also gave us this, and I am forever grateful for it

 

[bleedgreen]

I had seen that, and it left me with a pit in my stomach.

Legit laughing

 

[Unsustainable]

With DR getting 3m per.. what are they signing Lindholm and Hanifin to? Lol

 

[Stickpucker]

Oddly not much news swirling around Neal. I'd love him to sign here.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

So....we're looking at a Josh Jooris type day today, aren't we.

 

[Tryamw]

So....we're looking at a Josh Jooris type day today, aren't we.

I hope not. We need Better players instead of meh Utility guys.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I think we got our Jooris guy in Martinook already.

I’d be surprised if we signed anyone. Maybe a LHD. If we sign a forward we know Skinner’s gone.

 

[DougieSmash]

I don't want to overpay for DeHaan, Cole, Moore or Hickey. They are good bottom pairing guys but we need legit top 4 dman.

 

[Novacane]

I have a feeling we’re gonna get Maroon. I hope I’m wrong

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

I don't want to overpay for DeHaan, Cole, Moore or Hickey. They are good bottom pairing guys but we need legit top 4 dman.

Of those 4, I think Moore is the best compliment to Hamilton. I actually think Moore is pretty good, although underrated by playing in NJ for years.

 

[Tryamw]

If we get a color can we forbid all other teams from being able to wear such? </sarcasm>
