2017 Free Agency Frenzy Thread

Luke - $8.7M - (Penguins) - The Crosby of the Galaxy. He's pretty awesome but he's still got a fair share of bitch boy in him. I mean how many fingers could this guy sever with a lightsaber? So much upside here.

With his Jedi skills, you can pair him with any two nerf herders and turn them into great players.

He could make a protocol droid look like a landspeeder.

Personally if I was a GM, I'd send my scouts to the mos eisley cantina to find me some toughness. Could probably get a decent fourth line and a third pairing for under $10 million.

All I know is that some GM would overpay big time for Boba Fett during Bounty Hunter Frenzy.

Boba Fett - $6M - (Ducks) - Dirty little fucker. He'd hit below the belt and I could see him taking a dive. Just ask the Almighty Sarlacc.

Lando Calrissian - $9M - He's the PK Subban of the galaxy... Because Darren Pang told me so. But also this guy can really fly and he had some real success this year by switching sides away from an evil empire.

LOL. Beat me to it.

The Rancor - $5M - (Oilers) - This is one butt - fucken- ugly enforcer. And he resides in a filthy pit. Milan Lucic anyone?

I don't know, I think Kassian is a spot-on Rancor...

One of Jabba's guards -$MAX ELC - (Toronto) - He'd fit right in next to Auston Matthews. It would be the closest thing to a Daniel and Henrik situation as the Leafs could find, right down to the Alien factor. This guy could probably pot 25 on a line with the soul redeemer.

Man, Chris Chelios is not aging well at all.

Admiral Ackbar - $4m - (Ottawa) - He's a dead ringer for Mark Borowiecki, so he's got that going for him. Plus Ottawa likes to pay people for their "leadership". Another bonus: I don't think this guy would mind being accused of playing a trap!!

Aunt Beru - Braden Holtby's mom

You're think of Colin Greenface. He was already playing with the Leafs recently...

If Han Solo's team played Greedo's team, things could get confusing for the scorekeeper if the game goes to a shootout.

Obi Wan Babcock-y - "These are not the free agents you are looking for"

Why?

Everyone knows Han's team shoots first.

I was thinking Ackbar would fit better on the Leafs.

ACKBAR BERG!!!!

Pretty sure Darth Vader wouldn't want to play for Florida or Tampa Bay. I hear he doesn't like beaches for some reason.

That's weird. I thought he'd lava them.

Vader would be a franchise goalie. If you can stop blaster fire with your hand, you can stop a puck, I'd have to imagine. Though one wonders if he'd be a coach killer, given his propensity to force choke people in positions of authority.

OK, who didn't think of Paddy Roy skating off the ice at the Forum after being pulled
