UFA Frenzy/Offseason Discussion 2

[CBJWerenski8]

I’m expecting the jackets to do something today

 

[DarkandStormy]

He's not. Roslovic has at least shown flashes of being capable in some defensive-like roles, like the PK. Neither Strome can do even that much.

Seriously, if we go for either Strome brother during free agency, so much goodwill I was feeling from the draft is going to shrivel and die. Friends Don't Let Friends Acquire stromes.

I don't think he's an upgrade on either player.

Meh. Given that Roslovic can't put it all together for more than 35ish games at a time, I'd still take a flier. At the very least, it'd give the team flexibility to move Jenner back to LW if they so choose.

Perfect day for an out of the blue Jarmo move

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[DJA]

I predict Gaudreau to NJ and Kadri to NYR. Metro gonna Metro.

So today they'll have a live stream of Bob and Jody rambling about UFA stuff we can already find out on twitter and TSN/ESPN but no coverage of dev camp 3vs3 scrimmages.

Hoo freaking ray.

Quite honestly and not to sound like a dick because you’re not wrong per se but… that broadcast is not for you then.

Rumors are Philly wants Johnny Hockey. Need to unload a lot of salary to get to that done. Not sure he will like Torts

 

[ViD]

Looks like Johnny Hockey and Trocheck going to Metro. Can we relocate to the pacific division for a few years ?

Side question - when was the last time the free agency day was a huge success for Columbus ?

 

[pled]

is this a "oh no, metro is getting better." thread ?

Timmins is sadly not a player.

I feel like I want more offence but the team did pretty well in that part last year actually. who could help reduce goal against, some vet RD ?

I'm hoping the jackets try for zadorov and deal a couple of wingers. I don't expect anything big signing wise. We could still see a big trade, but that wouldn't happen until free agent frenzy end.

the team would need more RD than LD help without trading someone else.

 

[cbjthrowaway]

Trocheck to NY makes me sad. Not as sad as him going to Pittsburgh, at least!

 

[JacketFanInFL]

No reason to add anyone to this roster outside of a leader/agitator-type guy. This team is not a free agent away from the Cup, or even the playoffs. Keep building through the draft and hopefully get a top 2 pick next year.

The two worst teams in the division are supposed to be big players today so yeah, Metro is annoying.

On paper, I believe the Jackets will have the weakest roster in the division come the opening day

He will be going to NJ.

Free agency isn't meant for roster building. It's called silly season for a reason.

Well, if you could add a 100+ pts player without giving up any assets, that’s pretty good roster building move in my books

It’s a good thing Columbus is build to start winning in 2-3 years time.
Most of these signings will look bad by then

Not if you massively overpay and then don't have space to pay your own homegrown talent.

I don’t argue, in fact, this is a year I wouldn’t be too mad finishing in a lottery spot

 

[DJA]

Johnny Hockey, come on down.

 

[pled]

has there been any actual rumor for the blue jackets ?

I have heard nothing related to CBJ aiming a free agent

 

[DJA]

A dman option off the market.
