O'Reilly is not the player he was.
Re: 2023 Free Agent Frenzy
78Teams don't have enough money to sign the big free agents. They spend it all on mediocre defensemen.

82He's still a good player. That's such a team friendly deal and gives him a chance to get a pay day next year when the cap jumpsDave's a mess wrote: Sat Jul 01, 2023 1:33 pm Duchene to Dallas for 1 year $3M. They're looking goooood.

85Blues moves:
MacKenzie Mac Mac MacEachern returns to the Blues on a two year deal. He spent all of last year on Carolina's AHL team and has played just 14 NHL games the last two years so a bit odd to not only give him a 1 way deal, but to do it for two years. Army is starting to confuse me a bit.
Also signed G Malcolm Subban to a 1 year two-way contract

Re: 2023 Free Agent Frenzy
89These signings aren't going to count against the cap but it's just dollars out of a budget that could be spent somewhere else.

Re: 2023 Free Agent Frenzy
94All the Blues signings besides Mac Mac are 2 way. Don't worry about them. Org depth, not part of the opening night lineup. Subban is just there in case Hofer/Binner get hurt.

Re: 2023 Free Agent Frenzy
96I’m not worried about the Subban deal. It’s the Mac one that confuses me. Why two years? who are you bidding against?? He doesn’t even have an obvious spot on the roster unless they aren’t planning to bring Torpedo back which might cause me to riot.Dave's a mess wrote: Sat Jul 01, 2023 2:57 pm All the Blues signings besides Mac Mac are 2 way.

97Army just needs to hire someone to negotiate contracts for him. Let him identify players he likes and then remove him from the email thread.

Re: 2023 Free Agent Frenzy
98I don't like the Subban signing because all it does is push our goaltending prospects further down the depth chart. If there is an injury down the road we could easily make a move for a free agent or trade for a goaltender.
We did the same thing to Binnington and it was just a freak chance that things turned out the way they did with him.

Re: 2023 Free Agent Frenzy
100I don’t think it’s out of line for a contender. But Nashville is tearing their team apart so I don’t understand this at all. ROR is a pros pro, dude isn’t done yet. But playing in Nashville might make it look like he’s done. Dumb signing by Preds and not a good fit for ROR. But in a market where there aren’t any long term deals being dealt right now, I guess he had no choice. Rude awakening for Tarasenko, he might have to take a 1 year deal somewhere.
