2017 Free Agency Frenzy Thread

[pixburgher66]

I know we've had a bunch of threads with convos, but figured we need one for this years FA. We're under a week away, and I believe the convo period has begun with other teams. Weak defense class this year, some bigger names already off the market up front, but likely to be some trade action following FAs coming off the board.

Pens UFAs: Cullen, Bonino, Kunitz, Daley, Hainsey, Streit
RFAs: Archibald, Sheary, Dumolin, Schultz

I think Cully retires, Bones leaves since this is his big cash in FA year, and the others aren't brought back. RFAs I think all return.

And I'm in on third line center Jumbo Joe.

You gotta love these teams with severe goalie problems going after goalies with problems to solve their goalie problems.

Dallas is probably the only team to get it right thus far and even then it's got an asterisk.

It's like the revolving door of journeyman quarterbacks in the NFL. Well Matt Cassel's first 6 teams didn't work out, maybe the next one is it.

This is the second time today I'm using "Call me crazy", but Yakupov might be a pretty good trigger man alongside Johnny Hockey and Moneyhands. Heck, throw a shmill at him and see what happens, if it doesn't work out, no big deal.

However...

However...

That's..very oddly specific.

Good city + team going nowhere = good opportunity to sell them a reclamation project while not making his client miserable in hellscapes like St. Lou and Edmonton?
