TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Probably a short lived thread...certainly an ever evolving one....to talk about who is left on the FA market and who would fit best where....and who shouldn't ever, EVER, I mean... EEEEEEEVER get another NHL contract......... ag-ayyyynnnn (you Chris Jericho fans will get that last bit ).

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 This from dailyfaceoff and AFPAnalytics. I would think defensemen Oliver Kylington and Tyson Barrie should find new homes, possibly on contenders pretty soon. Forwards? Rumors were the Bolts might seek a reunion (at a low cost of course) with Tyler Johnson....I wouldn't mind it. Mike Hoffman looks like he might still have something to offer a contender as a middle six winger. Maybe Kevin Labanc? He certainly isn't the top sixer it seemed the Sharks were hoping he'd be. But maybe just a solid bottom sixer? Does he have enough of that style of play to be in that kind of role? What about Filip Zadina.... at 24 years old and still "on the pile"....is he a bust? And I would just say NOOOOO to Tony DeAngelo, John Klingberg, and JVR at this point.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyJack Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Oh no, Jakub Vrána! Win a Cup at age 22 with the Caps, still only 28, and…and…and…none of the other kids have picked you yet! So forlorn, just standing there, how times change… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. No. No. Vrana does not try, he is uncoachable, has talent but is easily the laziest player in the game today. Period. He will go float around next year in the KHL.

yave1964 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Slim Pickens but some somewhat useful players Barabanov can score a bit, 3rd liner may go to Europe. Cousins an excellent 4th line in your face center Hoffman. I guess Tyler Johnson 3rd liner. Kylington tons of potential surprised he is still out there Lankinen a useful spare goalie Kubalik 3rd liner, 15ish goals Pacioretty if you are desperate Really, lots of JVR, Staal, clutterbuck, Martin Jones, okposo, shattenkirk none are really NHL material but all could stumble into one more year on a very bad team but most won't be back. My top 3 Cousins Kylington Tyler Johnson. In that order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klingberg, Barrie and DeAngelo are all Right hand shots, but nobody wants them for good reason. they are no longer good players and in most cases, make you worse. Schultz im surprised didn't get a 2 year deal with the sharks yet lol Zadina is a bust. Even when he was a moose, i was like "yeah he's good, but doesn't blow me away" and i wasn't high on him. Labanc sucks. He's a top 6 or bust guy, and sucks defensively and puts in minimal effort. Edited July 21 by J0e Th0rnton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
