7+6=13 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) This isn't about who knows more. It's about common sense. Placating me with nonsense about when free agency starts is either you being obtuse, disingenuous or just obnoxious. My stance in this thread has been a bit tongue in cheek but my opinion is founded in reality. GMTM has brought us some nice players in Bogo, Kane and O'Reilly. I have confidence he'll do more of the same this offseason. I just don't think many will come via free agency. C'mon man I get it. We've gone through absolute torment as a fan base. I'll apologize for taking you too seriously on your post. My take on free agency is that we're now a possible landing spot for the top one's going forward. This year is particularly interesting because the anomaly of a player like Stamkos and even Okposo hitting free agency. You know as well as I do that teams are built by the draft and then trades - so I'd agree that free agency is most likely not how our team will continue building, but we're going to take a run at some to accelerate the process. I believe the reason is we're no longer the same organization that didn't/couldn't contend for them. Edited June 19, 2016 by 7+6=13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakish Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 this isn't really a prediction, but I'll put it here anyway. This is Vesey with some comparables. In addition to the chart below, I'm not really confident on how my model deals with 22 year old NCAA players, so I like to look at when players reach 1000, (NHL ready) These are players within an inch and within 10 pounds of Vesey at age 17 Eichel reaches well over 1000 at 17 Toews, Boeser, and almost Pacioretty at 18 Stastny and Kerdiles at 19 Wagner at 20 Vesey and almost Blake Geoffrion at 21 Vesey at 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
