GDT: July 1st - Free Agent Frenzy - Tavares to Toronto 7 years

[Dr Hook]

Haha, Pens signed Jimmy Hayes. How that guy manages to keep getting contracts is one of life's enduring mysteries.

Am I the only one who thinks Tavares going to the leafs is stupid on his part?

There are 11 million reasons not to think so

I mean good for him he got paid but wow..............It's like the Leafs are dying for stars and to stay relevents

Actually...yes

As the Nashville fans say, "and they still suck!"

Dying for stars? They made a great move getting him

 

[Chief Nine]

And you know “relevents” never forget

Watered down league...

 

[chizzler]

Bruins have some really good pieces to dangle.

Not for one year. Pass.

How so? I think it takes some stones to do what he did. Go to the highest pressure market which is also your home town and take all the heat while trying to win a cup that hasn’t been to that city in decades? Pretty ballsy decision

 

[DrJustice]

For this price, I'm glad Don passed on the Rhino

Wow, holy overpayment or what.

 

[sarge88]

Wow, holy overpayment or what.

It might be, but a tough, well rounded and skilled center on the right side of 30 is a commodity that St. Louis definitely needed.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I dunno, ROR is a hell of a player. Blues are still on the cusp of being a contender so it doesn't seem that bad to me.

It’s exactly what I’d like Sweeney to consider.

Not the exact deal, mind you, but the aggressive mindset.

They edited out “the rat bastard”

 

[BadBruins]

Am I the only one that thinks Buffalo's return was horrible?

That's what I thought initially. Cap dumps + secondary assets. Quantity for quality.

Two third line types, a B prospect, 23-30th pick -‘d a 2nd. While they didn’t cut a 7.5 m check, they still spend about the same on the two pros. Certainly deeper, fills out the roster and they have some decent center depth in their prospects. But I don’t follow buffalo much to knownhownneeded those guys were.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I hope Tavares wins zero Cup during his new 7y deal and the Leafs streak extend to 57y.

I think Thompson is going to be a good one and Sobotka and Bergland are useful players. ROR is a good player, just don't think he is worth what they gave up.

I’m with you!
