sskot13 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Alright seeing today is July 5th "the day our RFA's either accept the offer or hold out for arbitration" Why is it we havent signed any of our 22 RFA's Yet? Adam Mair Ales Kotalik Andrew Peters Brian Campbell Chris Thorburn Daniel Briere Derek Roy Dmitri Kalinin Henrik Tallinder Jason Pominville Jeff Jillson Jiri Novotny JP Dumont Martin Biron Maxim Afinogenov Michael Ryan Nathan Paetsch Paul Gaustad Ryan Miller Taylor Pyatt Tim Connolly Toni Lydman
apuszczalowski Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Whats the record for most FA's going to Arbitration from a single team? Buffalo might break a record if half of them decide to go. I guess Darcy has been to busy working out a deal for McKee? Nope, he walked on Day 2, Making a counter offer to Grier? Nope, He just said he'd match SJ's offer, Signing FA's? Well Teppo did resign, Trading Biron? Nothing done yet What has the front office been doing since game 7?
sskot13 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Posted July 5, 2006 I do realize there will be a lot of players heading to arbitration and we may even lose a few, but there a lot of core players that need to be signed. such as: Brian Campbell Daniel Briere Derek Roy Dmitri Kalinin Henrik Tallinder Jason Pominville JP Dumont = maybe, and maybe good trade bait Maxim Afinogenov = for some reason i feel like he is gone Ryan Miller Toni Lydman Note: Every D-Man is a Core player right now... and for Tim Connolly who knows what he is going to bring after another concussion. Oh and elcrusho I hate the Suspense

You seem to know exactly what's going on there all the time.

Oh and elcrusho I hate the Suspense The guys heading for UFA next year are the ones Darcy needs to focus on and decide if he wants to keep them or let them walk... Briere Lydman Tallinder Max Worry about making a decision on the rest of the players you listed next offseason. It would be nice if Darcy started handing out 3 year contracts like Carolina just did with their core, but I don't see it happening. Out of this group of 4, I would venture to guess that two of them will be playing elsewhere in 07-08.

With those 4, Darcy best be very caruful and give them each more than a one year contract, or you will be dead on here, two of them will be elsewhere in 07-08
slugspirit Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 What has the front office been doing since game 7? I'm guessing (since they have 22 RFA's) that they've been preparing for arbitration. Those hearings usually require a strong researched case, otherwise they may have to shell out more dough than they'd like. But more than likely, they've probably just been freaking out because the new logo leaked.
