The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

Hathaway is solid. That would make sense.

[zeke]

Garnet Hatheway, Nick Ritchie, Milan Lucic, Eric Gudbranson, Connor Mackey, Zac Rinaldo, Ryan Lomberg

Good point. Lets look at those forwards.

Hathaway Rinaldo Lomberg - league minimum guys, none of them goons.

Lucic - bad contract swap for Neal, signed for his scoring.

Ritchie - free deadline desl with no cap impact. Also a scorer not a goon.

i dunno why two reporters are bothering making up ryan reaves rumours tho. it's not... sexy. kinda inclined to believe it.

Would be a very weird lie, yeah

 

[Preston]

Jonas you need to retire from arguing with zeke

Jonas you need to retire from arguing with zeke

It's my foreplay before i wank.

nothing weird about it. trade rumours are a no-lose proposition. and someone else running with the same rumour only makes it sound more credible.

What's weird about wanting to have a token big black guy on the roster who is well past his expiration date and who can pop 5 meaningless goals for you in a season? Tre is outwoke-ing Dubie by chasing a guy even older and more useless than Simmonds.

How's THAT for reshaping your roster with a collection of all your previous players PLUS a new, older minority? New GMing 101.

Intrigued.

They need guys in the bottom half who can create scoring chances and finish when they get moved up the lineup. I like sprong.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

geekie
fisher
merkley
steel
sprong

all these dudes are very interesting, but i imagine they will be targetted by teams with cap space who can afford to overpay them, and promise them legit chances at middle 6 jobs.

Kyle Davidson, for one, should have his picks of the litter

 

[leafman101]

Kinda interesting cheap centers

 

[mbow30]

And 100000%% the leafs should make a push for duchene.

 

[CH1]

Also a scorer not a goon.

Be patient. Tre will eventually get it right.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Wasn't Duchene dying to play in Nashville or some shit back then, like he said it was his favorite team or some other wacky shit?

And his fave team growing up the Habs?

I have vague recollections of some strange shit out of him.

wanting to play in Nashville and or loving the Habs as a kid qualifies as strange to you?

For an Ontario boy? Yeah.

What's going on - why are guys like Steel and Bastian going unqualified and turned loose as UFAs?

 

[zeke]

I assume there's some cap cuteness going on and a bunch of these unqualifed guys will be re-signed by their teams.

 

[leafman101]

It’s to avoid arbitration because their stats are good and they’d get paid a decent amount.
