GDT: *OFFICIAL* 2015 Free Agency Frenzy II

[Patrice Krejci*]

Don: Hey er Cam, what are all this funny colored olives doing on the conference table?

Cam: Not sure what your talking about Donny.

Don: Look at them, they almost look like testicles?!?

Cam: Oh yeah, those. That happens every year. We've got really devoted and generous fans. See if you can get something for them will you? Cleaning ladies get pissed if we leave em around.

Can we just send Rinaldo and Kelly to NYR for Tanner glass?

 

[ashnathan]

Is there any word on the financials of the Spooner deal yet? Or Connolly for that matter?

 

[Absurdity]

depends, is Eklund just parroting a real source....?

Just like when he said the Bruins and Oilers are talking a big deal (Lucic) on draft day?

How would you guys feel about taking a flyer on Cody Franson. He's 27, fast, offensive, 6'5 and 213 lbs, he hits a lot and doesn't take too many penalties. Best of all, he's underperformed in Nashville and so that may help suppress his value.

If he's available at <= $4 million per I would absolutely go for it.

 

[Baddkarma]

Interesting the Beleskey doesn't have a deal yet.

He's a terrible skater and a healthy scratch for the Preds.

Spoke w/Kevin Shattenkirk's agent Jordan Neumann who says there's no truth that Shattenkirk is being dealt.

Was about to post this

The article I read said the details would be released over the next few days so we may not know for a day or two.

I haven't seen anything on whether they've reached a deal with Connolly-other than qualifying him.

 

[BB88]

Interesting the Beleskey doesn't have a deal yet.

He has offers and he is going through them.

 

[BostonPC]

completely agree, I'm on board.

I know some here don't like him but I would do that for 4M.

Are we watching the same Franson? The guy is not a fast skater by any means.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

Jackman just signed for 2mil/year.

Missed the market on McQuaid?

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

someone wanna name the top 6-7 guys left with no deals? I've lost track.

I think this is just RFA

for 4 million I think Franson is a steal. I think he's looking for more than that or he'd already be signed.

 

[BB88]

But he will get more than 4M.

 

[TootSweet]

Tarasenko pffer sheeted by stars. 7.5 mil for 7 years. Blues will match.

 

[rob4748]

I think he'll be available for less then 4m. My guess is something like 3.5 or 3.75. I'm not saying he's the answer to our D problems but he's valuable at that price.

other than Sekera going quickly to Edmonton, I don't think any of the "top" guys have signed yet. Plenty of leftovers.

if true, we should jump now to get Oshie or Backes.

Eklund says Yandle to Boston could happen, i hope he's wrong as usual

Frolik sort of in the top guys too I guess.
