GDT: Sharks Edition Free Agent Frenzy -or- Free Agent "Wait-5-hours-to-see-DW-sign-someone-we-don't-want"

[Jargon]

i'm not sure cogs and reimer are the answer.

Depends on the question

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

I'm predicting Kahun and Riemer. According to stats people Kahun has faced tough matchups while scoring at 5 on 5 like a low 2nd liner. Whoever plays 3rd line likely doesn't see PP time so the 5 on 5 will be necessary. Only predicting him because I think it'll be someone we haven't seen a lot of chatter about. Seems to be how it works out with DW and his son. Would love for the team to take a flyer on Tase too and hope he turns it around. Would have to be cheap though considering the risk.

"Over the last three seasons, he’s scored 1.88 points per hour at five-on-five, a legitimate second-line rate that ranks just outside the top-100 forwards in the NHL during that timeframe."

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

I’m nervous.

Yeah not shit, I think we all are.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

Any predictions we do today? Who's the worst goon on the market? Or goalie who's struggled the last 2 years that Doug thinks will rebound behind our defense?

Seriously tho, I'm thinking like a Halak and Brassard.

Halak supposedly already has a destination...

He doesn't fit the quality veteran mold that DW has mentioned a lot the past week. Would be shocked if he's brought in honestly. Bonino, Haula, and Bozak would be the guesses for the 3C role.

I don't disagree, just wanted to try and make an out of the box prediction. Based on those choices I hope it's Bonino but it's probably Bozak.

 

[WSS11]

Hopefully term on all of these vet contracts are 2 years or less

 

[Shark Finn]

Talking heads that yap.. Sounds like a common theme around many subjects. Let me down DW, make sure the team just misses the playoffs and picks at around 12th in the first round.

 

[LadyStanley]

Ah

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Ah

He is great for teams PR and social medias.

 

[DepressedSharksFan]

I'm going to predict Reimer and one of Bozak/Bonino.

 

[STL Shark]

Bozak supposedly has a 1 year offer from STL sitting out there so I am hoping he is inclined to stay there for a year rather than change teams. It also seems like with the Cogliano targeting that the org is going about this from an analytical standpoint rather than just picking up a bruiser for the sake of culture. Hoping with Cogliano being teammates with Bonino back in the Anaheim days helps to conjure up something and brings him to SJ at long last after being dealt a decade ago.

 

[Sharksrule04]

What do we think Reimer and Cogliano will get? Reimer maybe a couple years at 2.5-3M and Cogs maybe 1.5M? Seems like overpayment for him though.

 

[Erep]

He is great for teams PR and social medias.

The fact that he didn't get moved at the deadline kinda tells you what "his role" is...

 

[STL Shark]

Ah

Is that role to be a punching bag for other team's goons, take dumb penalties, and get suspended?

 

[Stewie Griffin]

The fact that he didn't get moved at the deadline kinda tells you what "his role" is...

Healthy scratch that gets pictures taken during warmups so the team that has nothing going for them can make a positive social media post about his community work?

 

[Gecklund]

I’m guessing Reimer and Cogliano today and then Kerfoot by trade tomorrow.

 

[DepressedSharksFan]

Bonino is a Shark.

 

[STL Shark]

Let's go!!!

 

[WSS11]

 

[Friday]

Not baddddd

 

[The Great John Scott]

Bonino, Cogliano, Reimer. I was hoping for a little more meat than this...

 

[mogambomoroo]

Bonino is a good one!

 

[thrillermiller89]

Kurtis Gabriel may not be the best hockey player but his activism is a great model for others to follow.

 

[themelkman]

Bonino is a good pickup. Hes actually a legitimate third line center
