GDT: July 1st Free Agent Frenzy (TSN free agent tracker in post #1)

[MacDonald4MVP]

High risk low rewards

I think he picked players with good enough reputation to flip them at tdl and bad enough actual play to go hard after top pick.

 

[SanBlom]

Good signings for Vancouver, they need to fill up their line-up, and Gagner, Del Zotto, Nilsson are good and relatively still young players.

Daley to Detroit seems also solid. Pavelec to NYR, that's helluva surprising and will be very interesting how it plays out.

All depending on term and money, obviously.

On the same page as you. NYR not totally sure, but the rest are good pickups for the respective teams.

Nilsson is a decent Goalie and I hope he has a good season with the Nucks!

If Girardi is getting $3M, then MacDonald is tradeable if we eat half the contract. Because I don't see much difference - both are 3rd pair guys.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Switching in Pav for Raanta is like switching a tasty wagyu steak for a bucket of mixed bug entrails.

 

[Flyotes]

Pav is crazy athletic but not a great netminder.

Mac is still on the hook for 3 more yrs right 15m? I wonder what hextall can do to make this happen, not sure eating 50% will work. I mean your a GM of the other team you know they trying to make this move, they will want to a lot in return.

Worse case say no one takes Amac, if more of the young guys are ready and would fill the lines on D, what do you do with mac , scratch him or send him to AHL till he's done?

He may not be the worst back up tho. He can be hot at times, but is absolute trash as a starter

Happy to have Sharp back in Chicago

Good vet LW for 3rd line

For whatever reason he seemed to always play well against the Flyers.

[Blackhawkswincup]

Seems so long ago Nucks were relevant and players wanted to go there for cup run

 

[tade]

hahahahah, love it

 

[healthyscratch]

Yes, they are going to have to change the title of the TSN program from Free Agent Frenzy to Free Agent Verification and Confirmation... ZZZZZZZZ........

He's ruining everyone's day.

With Saad and Sharp back, you've gotta be feeling all the feels.

 

[Rebels57]

McKenzie breaking everything early is kind of a dick move. I would expect he gets some blowback from TSN on this.

Its very anti-climatic to have this stuff trickle out early on Twitter.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I hate him. He was ruining the draft too.

The Alzner contract really isn't dreadful. GMs have gotten much better at controlling themselves when it comes to UFA's

Read the string of replies to this Rosen tweet. NYR fans know what to expect.

Yeah that alzner contract is pretty good considering what we still have amac for

I thought for sure some goofy GM would give him 6 per.
