Apparently now everyone thinks they're going hard in UFA

I don't even know who's out there other than Hall (rumoured 4x6 to Boston), Hyman (rumoured 7x5.5 to EDM-hahahaha) and Hamilton

I forgot how dumb some casual hockey fans can be. Kings board is about 50/50 on giving up the Kings 1st this year (8th overall) for Tarasenko.

I'm going to get a temp ban for calling them all morons.

building thru free agency, always smrt

yeah maybe they've identified some utr targets, or maybe they're tanking bc the next 2 drafts have superstars, who knows

seems like they passed up a lot of equity here though
(see: arizona getting a 2nd to take 2 years of ghostbear at only $4.5m, can prob flip him too at some point ffs)

those tend to stay ****ed

and doesn't really seem to make sense for the kings rn
luckily he prob wants to go to a contender anyway

related: jim is def gonna trade #9 for some pile of ****, or to move bad contracts

If I remember, nobody thought Vegas would be any good either.

Yeah, got murdered betting the preseason under on first season VGK points. Got a good number too. Don’t think Seattle will be good/make the playoffs right away, but that division is awful, so who knows?

Know nothing about Hagg but a mid first for lol Risto is a nice bit of business

Ghostisbere > Ristolainen, right?

1 year of Risto for 1 year of Hagg, 14th overall, and a 2nd
That doesn't sound right

Those trades on their own weren't even bad

Watch Risto luck into a percentage driven 30pt, +21 season and see the "some hockey men know young toolsy defenseman need a culture change..." etc columns roll in

Or it's the exact opposite and we get fireworks that way.

For the Flyers you gotta hope they don't have an extension already in place, but with that return they very well could have

Not gonna say I think that Risto trade is not bad, lol wtf, but happy that he gets the chance to show he doesnt suck as bad as many think. Played pretty good last season before injury. Maybe even watch some of his games now, buffalo was too tough for eyes.

Wooah Benning with a haymaker. Thought Kraken would be taking some of this bad contracts but maybe not. And yeah Stl did well to get Buch wow.

It's funny how some on Twitter were loling at the Buch trade before the other stuff went down and NHL GMs collectively said hold my beer

I think Garland is good. How good the trade is for Vancouver depends on how washed up OEL is. Might have just traded a bunch of anchors for a longer term anchor even with the small retain.
