I remember thinking last year... "Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.. this is Free Agent Frenzy? Cmon..."



And today the hot topic is "Where will David Clarkson land?"

The smartest thing any decent player can do is wait until July..

Leafs would love to add Scuderi to their blueline. All around solid d-man. Sounds like Leafs are Scuderi's top ufa choice. #TSN

I thought the Leafs retained salary for the Kings to sign Scuderi? Lol.

 

[DopeyFish]

Leafs buy out their #1 center

Sign defenseman

Why did they not buy out liles again?

 

[yankeehater]

Why the hell would he go to the Flyers then?

.

1/30 is still a chance dammit.

Makes way more sense than outbidding other teams for freaking Weiss and Clarkson.

Hearing the #Leafs and D Cody Franson, the former Vancouver Giant, have stopped negotiating on new deal, and a trade looks to be coming

Rights to Franson + Gardiner for Couturier

Disrespect the best passer in the league? I'll cut you.

I had a feeling about this.. I'm okay with it depending on the trade.. Franson might have been looking to cash in big on one good year where he had zero defensive responsibilities..

BEST DAY EVER STARTS IN 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES!!!

Franson

The fuck, Nonis?

 

[dem]

What the fuck are the leafs up to?

 

[Samyy]

Sigh the day already starts of bad
Who we gonna replace Franson with ((

 

[Cake Boss]

The Senators offered Andre Benoit a two-way deal. He will be going to unrestricted free agency at noon today.

lol these cheap fucks, give the man a 1 way deal you turds. He has proven hes an NHL player.

 

[DopeyFish]

Scuderi apparently lol

 

[KernelPanic]

What the fuck are the leafs up to?

Need cap space for huge 8 year extension for future all-star and Norris winner Mike Kostka

 

[Merguson]

What the fuck are the leafs up to?

From the looks of things, undo all the Burke moves.

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
I firmly believe Alfredsson is leaving Ottawa. I believe Sens are aware of this. I also believe Detroit is the frontrunner. #TSN

SO SORRY CAKEBOSS

 

[Samyy]

Better get Scuderi at least, this is so fucked

 

[Merguson]

Rip lupul

I hear Nonis was about to make a trade when he stared into those dreamy eyes and signed Lupul to an extension instead.

 

[DopeyFish]

Better get Scuderi at least, this is so fucked

If franson signs elsewhere at $3.5 mil I will be super pissed because that's his worth with ease

If he signs $4 mil+ I won't be as upset

 

[Cake Boss]

FUCKING SHIT BALLS ASS BITCH FUUUCCKKK

DETROIT REALLY YOU KRUSTY MOTHERFUCKA REALLY?

 

[toro5741]

Fuck fuck. Markstrom pls.

Aren't front-loaded contracts like Weber's pretty much outlawed in the new CBA? If so, I don't see how anybody's going to be able to poach Pietrangelo, Bogosian or Hamonic. Any contract those guys get will be matched for sure.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK


IF ANYONE NEEDS ME I WILL BE FUCKING DEAD UNDER A BRIDGE FIIIIICLLL


FUCK LIFE WHATS THE POINT

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Our retirement home is best!!

Spoiler

Getting Alfie is really not going to do much for this team, we need to get younger, not older!

1 year deals

The only player to get an offer that high would likely only be pietrangelo... Maybe kadri but leafs have $25 mil in cap

 

[Samyy]

That would be hilarious considering Detroit and the Sens would play like six times?

 

[yyzjohn]

How is Franson worth $3.5M when Subban got less than $3 and won the Norris?

 

[Cactus]

Cake Boss already melting down? I'm sure most of Leafs-gaf will be joining him in about 90 minutes.

 

[Samyy]

How is Franson worth $3.5M when Subban got less than $3 and won the Norris?

Well I don't know why your mentioning the Norris but yea his contract was way undervalue for what hes worth.

He was better then 3mil even before winning the Norris imo.

 

[DopeyFish]

How is Franson worth $3.5M when Subban got less than $3 and won the Norris?

Montreal worked magic there... We were assuming subban was getting $6 mil

He definitely will next time... Likely 7+

 

[Simon Belmont]

@DownGoesBrown: So do private forensics experts investigate broken hearts?

Mwahahahahahahahaha

 

[yyzjohn]

That's not the point, Subban was held at bay due to his RFA status and Franson should be as well. He has 1 good year, let's see him do it over 82 or 164 games before he cashes in.

I like Franson, but he's seemed like a pain in the ass since he got here.

That's the reason why he signed the one year deal before FYI

To "prove" his worth and over the season and playoffs, he definitely did.

You can't keep going back to a player and tell him to prove his worth without getting a pay raise when he exceeds expectations

 

[yyzjohn]

I like Franson, but he's seemed like a pain in the ass since he got here.

Agreed. If he doesn't agree to a 2 year deal at 2.5-2.8 then trade him.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Bruce Garrioch ‏@SunGarrioch 1m

Sources say Daniel Alfredsson has informed the Senators he will not be returning to Ottawa. He will sign with BOS or DET #Sens #ottnews

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 27s

Red Wings likely destination for Alfredsson, but clearly because of legalities no deal has been agreed to. On the wing with Zetterberg?

Cake, if you aren't dead, I would rather have Alfie stick with Ottawa or go to Boston, makes really no sense for us. But there is still hope, like I have hope for Brunner returning!

Spoiler

We're both screwed

 

[MetatronM]

I take back what I said last night, watching all the other teams squirm is much more fun.

 

[Silexx]

Sorry guys, but I'm going to be stuck in denial mode for a bit longer. I have to believe the media is getting played here.

He made $1.2M last year, a 100% raise isn't paying him?

 

[KernelPanic]

I will vomit all over my desk if this is true.

And if they replace him with fucking Clarkson I will vomit some more.

 

[Red_Man]

Alfie leaving Ottawa for Detroit of all places? Hahahahahahahah what a guy.

 

[Cake Boss]

REALLY? OF ALL THE TEAMS TO PICK YOU PICK FUCKING DETROIT? YOU DUMB FUCK. GO FROM TAKING FEEDS FROM KARLSSON TO TAKING GUN FIRE.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FUCK THIS. FUCK EUGENE. FUCK MURRAY. FUCK CANADIAN TIRE. FUCK EVERYONE. FUCK LIFE.

FOLD THE TEAM

 

[jbug617]

@DarrenDreger

Alfredsson informed the Sens late last night to give Ottawa ample time to put together a plan for Clarkson ,etc. #TSN

I wonder why Detroit?

 

[DopeyFish]

So where the hell is iginla going?

Pens, Canucks, Detroit, blackhawks, bruins will be cap limited and the report before also said NYR

Please stay the hell away from New York, iginla... Come to TO and be another star winger in a sea of dead centermen!

 

[dem]

Why leave Ottawa? Very few players have the chance to stay with one team their entire career.

Dumb move.

Does he really think he will win a cup in Detroit these days? Cmon..

 

[Samyy]

Wait why is Ottawa in a bad financial position?
I thought the team was pretty successful? Why can't they spend?
