Free Agent Frenzy 2016 Discussion Thread

[keytolife]

Keytolife seems to think there's a good chance Okposo ends up in Florida.
I could also see him in Buffalo as the other team with lots to spend after missing Stammer.

Like posted on the Panthers thread. We are out on Okposo.

What i hear is:

- long term contract for a major forward
- goalie will be signed
- we are in on Wiercroch

I could see Matt Martin to DET or TOR.
He's a Windsor boy, and that's where our affiliations are!
Much more than a one-dimensional player... I've always thought he could bring more if given the chance.
But people assume that Martin/Clutterbuck/Cizikas are all one-dimensional because they were THE 4th line in hockey for so long.


I'm listening to the TSN 1050 feed.
Being at work in the US - it's a nice background noise.
Anybody else?

BTW - one of our leagues has a "Waiver Day" today... where all unowned players are on waivers.
I feel like I shouldn't have dropped Brian Campbell last year... at $2m, what a steal!

Anybody know of a way to watch either TSN or Sportsnet's coverage online if you don't have a cable tv subscription?

Not sure if anyone got back to you:

This only works if you have a cable/satellite subscription

Fan590 is probably your best bet without cable. Pretty sure they have a mobile app that lets you listen on your phone.

okposo to sabres
ladd to nyi
eriksson to van

[Eskimo Brother]

okposo to sabres
ladd to nyi
eriksson to van

Are those done, rumoured or your guesses?

[Pengwin7]

okposo to sabres
ladd to nyi
eriksson to van

In the Free Agency contest...
I think about 50% got the Eriksson to VAN.
Hockeyrobot got the Okposo to BUF.
Myself & a few others (I think) got the Ladd to NYI.

Reimer to Panthers 5 years.
We are out on WIercroch.

Reimer to Panthers 5 years.

Crazy... I wonder if Reimer is thinking about the tax aspect.
And I wonder how Florida factored in the expansion aspect... because he stands a good chance of being snagged if the contract is right...

Also... Pittsburgh is quietly creating cap space by rostering some minimum signings.
Steve Olesky (D7) for the min. $575k, just 1yr
Tom Sestito (F14) for the min. $575k, just 1yr

Might be the plan in this. They don´t want to lose Petrovic.
Also still hearing we have 2 forwards signed.
