Free agency 2015 - The day where nothing makes sense and the money don't matter.

[jstewismybastardson]

It does free up money for tommorow but does that mean 6 shmill per for franson


/or anything for matt bartkowski

Cesspool had a guy talking about Irwin from the Sharks, if we can get him reasonably priced, I'm A fan of this over franson

 

[mattola]

Quite honestly I'm more a fan to dump Higgins still and call up youth and rebuild but meh what do I matter

So sir bennington alledgedly balked at san joses offer of a second in 2015 and a second in 2016 but hell now gladly take 1 second from the ducks

that can't possibly be true.

I've been thinking about this. If it's true San Jose last minute changed the picks from 2015'to 2016 then out of principle and not being labelled as the gm that will accept it from behind at the last second after an agreement has been made I'm not terribly upset that the San Jose deal fell through like that. Fuck you sharks for backing out on an agreed deal and changing the terms last second. Im Glad Benning didn't take that he'd never get another honest deal done if he did.

Looks like Minny is trying to keep ( nearly) all of their young talent on board:

Wild make seven qualifying offers

And a sincere HAPPY CANADA DAY to everyone in the Great White North. Enjoy the 148th birthday.

(You will probably get all the good free agents, too)

 

[BGDave]

For the first time in years as a Leafs fan, I totally get this thought. Who's making the popcorn???

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I'm hoping the Devils sit tight. Just let the youth come up, let Shero evaluate what he has to work with and then start making moves during the season.

 

[forty_three]

You hear that Shero? They will match no matter the offer sheet. Bury them!

Do you, or do you not want Kerby Rychel and/or Matt Calvert?

Thinking about yinzer reactions to this. Please happen.

That would be a very Pittsburgh thing to do. They only have 5 Defensemen signed, one of which is Rob Scuderi, and they would offer sheet a forward and empty the cupboard just because he's from Pittsburgh?

Go ahead. Jarmo might let you have him just to watch the empire crumble.



Brandon Saad will address the media at 10am today.

I was given to understand that Steve Mason was the second coming of Jacques Plante.

Worse goalie graveyard, Philly or Vancouver?

What? The Flyers screwing with their goalies? Nah, they dont do that.....

 

[forty_three]

I should state that I like Mase, and am proud of what he did to turn his career around after biting everyone's hands here in Columbus.

But fuck, why did he have to wind up in Philly? That Devan Dubnyk story could have been him.

Pens offer sheet would be meaningless, can't go over like 5.7M, Devils offer sheet is what I want. Imagine yinzer a if Shero lands him elsewhere? IMAGINE.

Devils can't either unless it's less than 3.6 or over 9.
