GDT: Official Free Agent Frenzy Thread (1/7/12)

[GimmeMyJetpack]

Latendresse is decent...but another depth forward...highly unlikely he plays top 6 would have to assume means some depth guys are up for a trade.

Latendresse - Smith - Neil seems like a good line.

[Emerica]

Nice. Great deal.

Love that signing.

1.2 million only? LOL amazing signing.

[Icelevel]

Carks to colo maybe not.
Might be back in ott!

[Caeldan]

Wonder what's going on with Carkner...
Per his agent (per TSN), it's still not official... waiting on word from Matt still.

Maybe him and Murray are going for a last minute 'can you match it?'

[SteelCitySensFan]

Called Lats yesterday, hes still young and with good coaching I can see him being good for us.

That would mean Lundin would go in our top 4. Please no.

Must suck to be him and see Ottawa pick up Lundin on a 1 year deal.

Not likely with the Lundin signing.

I am sure we'll land our big fish eventually!

Exactly, if they go down with injuries, it gives our young players (Silf, Stone, etc.) a chance to play in bigger role and gain valuable experience. If they don't go down, then we have a solid team. Its win-win

I like the signing. I think it's a good low-risk move for little cash, and only a one-year deal to boot. The TSN panel is really slamming him for poor fitness and speed, though.

[sensfan25]

Latendresse is a great pick up. Guy is huge

[Iamok]

So far Murray's gone young, cheap, short-term with upside.

Not bad.

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Let's get some more signings going! I gotta hit The Works in 45 minutes!

[Caeldan]

Whitney to Dallas for 2 years, 4.5M per...
Bit much more than I'd have wanted, so okay on passing that.

[starling]

Latendresse played 27 games in the past 2 years.
If only he could stay healthy now.

[SammyTheBull]

Excellent cheap signings so far.

Lundin 1.2M
The Tenderness 1.2M

Plenty of cap space remaining...and we still need a top 2/4 dman.

Still got what like 22M in capspace now? hopefully they're able to land a big fish..

[Jackie Treehorn]

There's a reason Smith and Neil had good years, and it's because Carkner and Konopka were around. A little more toughness would be nice. Asham maybe?

Perhaps, but i like Tootoo

[McFist]

Carks to AVs was officially announced on the Sportsnet scroll.

[carsonscave]

So... question!

If Carkner lays a hit on Heatley will Konopka whoop Carkner's ass?
