Free Agent Frenzy 2015

This team is shallow as hell. The top 6 will be good. Everything else is iffy. Im not very happy with the team as it stands now. Im not sure what they can do.

I would have loved Condra. That's a good deal for Tampa.

A third line of Kunitz/Sutter/Dupuis, while older, is still pretty good.

Barret Jackman for 2 years at $2M each signed in Nashville. He's lost a lot, but that has just made him angrier....

Who is the 4th top 6 wing after kessel perron and hornqvist?

Postby **Jim** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:00 pm

We lost no players of top 6 level, the best we lost is Comeau... and we added Kessel, and sort-of added Dupuis.

Tyler Biggs, baby!

(I'm joking. I expect another FA signing to fill that.)

Couldn't eff autocorrect

It is 2pm on July 1st...

Seriously.

Early reports were it was going to Plotnikhov. Haven't heard any announcements there though

kunitz and sutter will start giving a s*** in april, but this line is going to get demolished for the 6 months prior.

Enter the Semin

Postby **Clams Herbert** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:03 pm

They will be fine. They gotta move a contract or two, but they've got money to play with.

Postby **darkstar57** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:04 pm

anyone else get a feeling there might be more involved, neither the pens or maple leafs have acknowledged the trade.

Postby **Jim** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:05 pm

That is why I said that I want a presser from Rutherford...

Postby **willeyeam** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:09 pm

ok lovejoy/cole is a pretty bad 2nd pairing. I was pretty pumped about the trade so give me a break

Postby **The U** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:10 pm

I figured Plotnikov would be "announced" at 12:01pm today. Sounds like a cheap and decent depth guy from what I have read and seen. Hope he is still in our plans.

I feel a little uncomfortable looking at the roster, I think it takes for granted something that probably shouldn't be taken for granted. That being, Kunitz, Dupuis and Perron will all be able to make positive contributions all season long. I guess I could just see it pushing empty sweaters down the depth chart, as opposed to getting the empty sweaters off the team. But maybe talent will overcome roster deficiencies, in the least, this is going to be a fun team to watch.

Prediction: one of the pit/cbs games reaches 15 goals scored.

$4.85 AAV for the Paul Martin deal. Actually a pretty good deal for San Jose.

Postby **columbia** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:20 pm

I hope the Kessel deal is enough to finally dislodge Kunitz from the PP.

Postby **Avyran** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:20 pm

NJ signed John Moore; 3y, 1.6 per.

The Martin deal is great... except for 4 years.

Postby **Beveridge** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:20 pm

Have to believe Pens wouldn't give the 4 years. I don't have an issue with that.

Postby **Craig** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:24 pm

The decline of martin lately would make me hesitant to give that aav over 2 years.

Postby **King Colby** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:32 pm

Martin should have easily received 5 years and close to 30 million. Look at the sekera deal... hes much better even though older
