Wouldn’t that be a nice change of pace! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonDreads Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If you're not landing one of the big fish, you really are best off staying out of free agency. It's true when they say the most mistakes are made on July 1st, ask the Oilers how they feel about Lucic or the Canucks how they feel about Loui Eriksson. I saw this on Twitter and it's pretty accurate: Free Agency is like a restaurant where there's about two good things on the menu and the rest will give you varying degrees of food poisoning. If Panarin didn't wanna come here, fine. I trust Shero if he decides not to shell out $9M for Anders fvcking Lee, because that's the right decision. Ferland or Dzingel isn't going to go a long way in convincing Taylor Hall to stay. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Here is the way I'm looking at the Panarin thing. He pretty much ****** Columbus and left the Isles high and dry. The way the Rangers get their UFAs, it was only a matter of time before they got another similar UFA, whether it be Hall next year, etc. etc. The reason I bring that up is, with good/great NHLers knocking down the door to play for that sh!t franchise, they were likely to be good anyway. The Islanders were smoke and mirrors last year due to insane goaltending that will not be repeated. They are not a good team and Panarin would obviously make them more "real". Columbus is about to lose their #1C (Duchene), best player (Panarin), top 3 goalie in the league (Bobrovsky), and middle six forward (Dzingel). Yes, they have some pieces in Jones, Werenski, and Dubois, but they are going to be pretty bad. 2 teams in the division got a lot worse.

It won't change the compensation, but the other teams will have to match the exact bonus, and some teams might not be able to match They talked about Sakic signing a sheet with the Rags and the Avs had to pool money to get it/match it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty open about not wanting to return. Its on them for not trading him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just now, MB3 said: So if Hall was waiting on today’s moves to sign a contract, it might be time to wonder what we can get in return. Because you can’t lose him for nothing, and I don’t blame him for getting the fvck out. There will be a time for that, perhaps sooner than we think, but I'd wait at least a week before it's a real discussion point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Of course, the irony is that if Shero had dealt for Subban today or even yesterday, there's considerably less hysteria right now. Short memories, but that wasn't hard to see coming. Once again, Ray has made it pretty clear that overpaying for UFAs isn't really the route that he wants to go...not sure why anyone was expecting a big signing at this point. Offseasons are not decided less than two hours after the "official" start of UFA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Keep in mind with all of these signings, teams are going to need cap help. That's where Ray probably swoops in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
