Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread | Free Agent Frenzy "I'd Buy That For a Dollar!"

I wonder if there will be deals going into the night or if GMs will want to call it and rest for tomorrow.

Probably lots of negotiating tonight as there still has not been near enough movement for Vegas, Toronto, etc. to be in on the guys every insider says they are. I bet we'll see 5-6 trades completed in the morning before free agency opens.

Pulju looks like a sure bet to play on 3rd line right wing. My best case scenario would be signing speedy countryman Erik Haula to play C for Pulju. Erik did well in Vegas jersey with James Neal, who could play the left wing.

Mikko Koivu is another intriguing option. Not as speedy anymore, but a very dependaple veteran. Also a Finn, this former Minnesota captain would be a good mentor for Puljujärvi. Finnish tabloids gossip that Mikko has over the hill porn actors as a hobby, but that would only help make Pulju more relaxed.

Good point on Neal I'd forgotten they played together. Sign me up for Neal-Haula-JP.

My worst fear is it's Cousins or someone like that with zero arrows pointing up and we end up regretting it by the quarter mark of the season (see Markus Granlund)

Nothing can occur until 12 PM ET.

I bet all the GMs have a ton of emails in their draft folder and when 12pm et comes around SEND SEND SEND SEND SEND !

F$$$.

It's already happened

Still is interesting.

Doesn’t make the market for Larsson or Klefbom very profitable.

 

[Magnum23]

Wow. The first and second overall picks from 2012 have been traded for Zach Pochiro and a third and a fifth-round pick

In retro it was a weak draft. Good thing we won the lotto in 2015 again otherwise we are only left with Nuge

I don’t think Larsson ever had much value. Klefbom still would if he was healthy, which he isn’t, so he doesn’t. Don’t even think about the golden boy Kris Russel. The whole situation, It’s..... not great.

Why does Cousins have zero arrows pointing up? His point total has improved every season he's been in the league, with the exception of this season, but clearly would of if the season wasn't cut short. He also had a career best even strength points per 60 number, as well as a career best CF%, and a career best FF%.

David savard on the block, you guys think he’d be a good fit?

Ive always liked him

 

[RinkRatOil]

In preperation for tomorrow, can we get a stickied thread that is strictly rumors from credible sources? Much easier to track as the day goes on.

Right? Goes under the radar because he plays for the jackets. He’d be a good fit but he’s a cap dump, jarmo trying to big fish hunting tomorrow.

Did those big bazookas predict anything tonight?

That is Stauffer's burner. His bazookas are bigger than hers

 

[Paralyzer008]

I predict....

Stupidity that gets defended a lot on HF.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Would be a great pickup for us.

Would be a great pickup for us.

CBus also has to resign PLD, that will be an expensive ticket.

I predict Holland has a worse day than the guy whose wife said she was divorcing him behind me on the ferry Monday afternoon.

It looks like OEL is staying put and Arizona has accomplished nothing and is still in cap hell and team chemistry will be a mess as management asked everyone with a NTC to waive and they all said no lol. Arizona needs that bullet put in them pronto.

 

[McXLNC97]

Columbus has something up their sleeve. Too much salary is getting moved out.

I wonder what big fish they are reeling in.

They still need to put aside a decent amount of capspace to resign Dubois who is an RFA.

 

[McXLNC97]

I'm sure once midnight EST hits, fax machines will be burning up from all the paperwork they'll have to process

Free agency doesn't begin until noon eastern time tomorrow.
