Free agency officially starts at noon today.
Rumors of deals are already being reported.
Devils will apparently be signing Brett Pesce away feom Carolina, which is interesting with the talk of Red Wings possibly getting Trouba.
Pesce is 9 months younger than Trouba…
and getting 5 years at $5.5 million AAV.
The price of veteran right handed defenseman is pretty steep… wven for a 2nd line guy.
.
Predators spending big to start free agency.
Stamkos, Marchessault….
and possibly Brady Skjei as well!
.
Yzerman sitting on his thumbs. I woke up thinking Stamkos and top dline and were off season move is trading away Walman

This is getting sad. Probably sign jeff skinner, and suter
Perron gone to Ottawa. Sad. Just sad. We had money .
If you dont upgrade your defense. You better get guys who find the back of the net.
I am thrilled that Perron is not coming back.
I thought he was a defensive liability made frequent questionable decisions on the power play… and he doesn’t add enough offense to make up for his shortcomings.

Kane was more then him. Oh dont worry Yzerman picked up another back up goalie in Cam Talbot.
Oh, thank God, the Wings signed Cam Talbot - that will fix their goaltending issues. /s

Hes OK. Nothing great. Place holder till Cosa/Augustine can come up. Still need blue line
But only about $5m left in cap space after extensions
Hes going to be 37 in a few days. Also has a shit defense.
Current depth chart.
Only about ~$4m in cap space left unfortunately after extensions
Team looks worse than it did last season, imo. I don’t see how they’re even going to compete for the #8 seed.

I agree completely.
Goal tending up slightly.
FWD and DEF worse.
I highly doubt all those rookies are going to come into the league red hot.
There has to be a couple of trades coming
Ghost to Carolina on a 3 year deal 3.2AAV

All the Red Wings FA have been picked up other than some GRG players which dont mean much
