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

Allow me to reiterate; neener neener neener

JR probably fell asleep waiting to hear back from Bowman and missed the call

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Just what are the Pens offering teams for these guys? 3 future first rounders? Like they have nothing at all they can trade without completely fucking themselves over in other areas.

I'd have been willing to part with any of Pouliot, Kapanen, Sundqvist, Maatta, Dumoulin, Sutter or Murray if it meant bringing the hometown kid back to Pitt. Picks, too.

Jarmo is a damn thief

Columbus did amazing in that trade

Had to be Pouliot at least

 

[BGDave]

Starting to think the Leafs wont be making any trades. Patience, patience, patience, patience,,,,,

 

[dash]

Well it was either the Ducks or Penguins with the way Bieksa was waddling on the ice...

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Columbus just needs to stay healthy now, solid group there.

 

[esls79]

Calgary should have no trouble knocking off the Ducks in the playoffs now.

To be honest, besides Celine the only one I really, really want gone is Bozak. That's really crucial in order to gauge where we are centre-wise.

Listening to Jarmo's conference call, re; signing Saad
"We're working on it, as soon as this call is over, we're going to go to my office and get back to work and finish this thing".
"We've talked to him, he's excited. We're excited. Just have to work out details"

re: Offer sheets
"We'll just match it. I don't care what someone else does, we'll match. Nothing to worry about with our cap situation, we'll match him."

Jackets were not going to offer sheet him. They were "Pursuing other avenues to improve our team"

re: Why Saad
"He's a winner. Looks like a perfect fit for our team. Left handed top line winger for our right handed center."
"He plays the game the right way. He's young and a proven winner. He's exactly what we're looking for. We wouldn't give up the pieces we did if he was an older player. He hasn't hit his prime yet."

Says Bowman called on Anisimov and Saad came up. They jumped on it. Bowman called on Anisimov yesterday.

re: Dano
"I told Marko it breaks my heart to include him in this deal. He's a good kid and he's going to be great, I wish him great luck"

re: Free Agency and tomorrow's plans
"Might take longer to get the right guy. I don't really believe in making a big splash in free agency unless it's the perfect guy. We have a good core group on defense, and I am fine starting the season with who we have."
"Now we have the perfect number of forwards. We've strengthened our team."

Other guys:
"We expect Paliotta to challenge for a spot out of camp. He's got a summer to bulk up and get ready."

With Anisimov gone, Letestu may get the deal he wants too. 3 years.

Good Luck Juice.... Thanks for your years. if true and we were offered 2 2nd round picks in 2016 from the Sharks (do they have 2?). Ill be mighty dissapointed in Benning on this years draft.

[Judge Fudge]

"juice" is gone

THERE IS A GOD

 

[Nasty_Magician]

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

Thinking about yinzer reactions to this. Please happen.

 

[puckhead]

ugh. that's gonna be a pretty low 2nd rounder.
oh well, rebuild this bitch up Sir Bennington, cuz it's pretty torn down.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

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
