So I had a thought or I've smoked to much today, but here we go!!
With as many players that are hitting the market and there's alot and some Decent ones. Could this be a saving grace for a bunch of Cap strapped Teams this year. Probably gonna be some decent players taking some 1yr cheap contracts

Never a shortage of Larry's this time of year. Glad we got ours locked up at a premium early. Funny that Jost was a little too expensive, that's where they draw the line.

Didn't leave much wiggle room did they. It's like they new they were running it back 2 months ago.

I dont think girgensons was a premium, thats what good defensive forwards go for on one year deals, or close to it.

If they let okposo walk hed never hear the end of it from the players. I know nobody likes him anymore, but the other 19 or so skaters do. Pressed with deciding who to upset, theyll choose you and me over the players each time.

I think Jost is getting a deal anyways, this just takes some of the leverage away.

Wasn't Jost's leverage always getting to UFA and getting a better offer? Might be calling his bluff.

4th line market is flooded this year, but there's no $ for them across the league.

I dont think so, the guy was riding the bus to the AHL before the Sabres claimed him. His best negotiating position was always going to be the team that claimed him.

It sort of is and isn't. Majority of the 4th liners available are kinda not good. I like Pius Suter, although he may price himself as a 3C

PSA,

Still worst FO team in the league
Still almost worst PK in league
Still almost worst GAA in league
PP looked like the worst in the league down the stretch.
I hope it’s a big day tomorrow.

Need a good weekend. With Quinn out, they haven't gotten any better so far this summer.

Plenty of cap space in a buyer's market, but a weak UFA class.

I wouldnt even call it a buyers market, he has to show a willingness to over pay for the right guy (trade not ufa)

It’s a really weak defensemen free agency class. Teams will overpay for for mediocre talent

That was per Scott Cullen on wgr yesterday

Good Lord, his contribution is so over blown.
He's a waste of 14:00 a night and $1,700,000
He signed a 1 year deal because no one else wants him.

He's in like the 90th percentile of forwards for defensive contribution at even strength

All the individual stats in the world for a 4th line lw mean nothing on a team that finished in the bottom 25% of the league in GA, and the PK he has been on for years has completely sucked ass for years.
50% of the 14:00 time he isn't playing against top 6 players, yet the narrative is he plays a shut down role against the teams top lines for 23:00 a night.
Sometimes, ya just gotta get the context right when looking at stats.
