Nobody’s perfect

Why does Detroit have so many goalies?

I wish we didn’t have so many people coming out of nowhere to make this place completely unreadable.

Oh I very strongly believe they’ll never make the playoffs ever again. Aim low, you can’t be upset.

I was going to say they could still sign before the start of free agency, but then I realized it’s 6/30 already. So I suppose there’s still time, but very little. I wouldn’t be surprised if more than one sign back right away.

Does the local sports book hand those out?

And it’s all a bit premature. Can we wait until at least July 3rd or 4th? They can’t roll the same team out there. It is franchise suicide and they all have to know that. The fans are lost forever at that point.

Haven’t they held off on QOs for a few guys recently and then signed them to a cheaper deal? I wouldn’t say they’ve cut ties just yet.

Sorry, I should have said “why Bryson DIDN’T get that next contract”. I just meant the qualifying offer from Buffalo.

I see around 1.1 million reasons why Bryson doesn’t get that next contract.

I thought they were reporting the other day that Guentzel back to Carolina for 8 years was done. Now Tampa trades for his rights? https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/tampa-bay-lightning-acquire-jake-guentzel-s-right-from-carolina-hurricanes-1.2142495

That hard to play against thing would date back a year or two. So I’d more say you might be dealing with 20-21 year olds against a 24-25 year old. I’m not really sure if there are more than a handful that young in Rochester. I don’t think there’s too much in that thought about the age gap.

He’s a bit old at this point, too.

There’s no guarantee that works. It also uses next year’s pick instead of this year’s.

I think an even larger portion of the fanbase will never have any clue that this signing ever happened.

Take a look at how many defensemen they had under contract prior to these moves. They didn’t have a top 4. They had a top 1.

@Pimlach, there want an ounce of sarcasm in that post. I’m just simply stating facts. That’s player for first round picks do not happen at this time of the year. The recent history backs that up. You may find a rare one here or there, but teams move these picks at the deadline. There’s no excuses here, it’s just how things work.

So he’s supposed to go back and time and make the deal instead? Those player for first round picks were not happening. Not here, not anywhere. Not today, not a week ago. Those are the kind of trades that happen at the trade deadline. When not a single trade of this type is made anywhere across the league, we really need to stop making this into a Buffalo thing. People need to stop buying into the click bait from the talking heads.

I was going to comment on that. The euro first round picks typically head over right away, at least the ones taken this early.

There are plenty of other things they can trade. Look at all those players moved around the league during this first round. It was never happening. I have no idea why this surprises people every single year.

They didn’t make a trade that was never going to happen. Doomed!

Lindy is an international treasure

And how many people have their announcement thread all lined up?

Commercial before Buffalo. The tradition lives!

Wasn’t there chatter in recent days that the Philly pick was in play?
