Free Agent Frenzy 2015
Curt, I know we usually have a thread dedicated to free agent moves in the postseason that don't involve the Blues so we don't have 500+ threads going.
Figured I'd start one. Delete if disagree
Not a big class this year, but July 1 is always fun anyway!

No frenzy in StL.
Can't believe Tarasenko isn't signed yet. Hey Army: get your finger out, alright?

Re: Free Agent Frenzy 2015
Lehtera signed for 2 years at 4.75 mill each year I think. Also Phil Kessel got traded to the Pens for 2 prospects and a 1st rounder.

Kessel to the Penguins for prospects and a pick.
Penguins also get a prospect or two I'm hearing.

Jackman signed with the Predators for two years, $2 million per. Guess we'll be seeing him more often than we thought...

'Yotes sign a whole host of players, including Michalek. Blues once again donating draft picks for overnight stays to teams in need.

Re: Free Agent Frenzy 2015
Whew! - no disrespect to the Blues but I really didn't want the Hawks to sign Jackman and I got worried when it was stated in Chicago media that the Hawks were pursuing him. Glad to see he signed with the Preds.WaukeeBlues wrote:Jackman signed with the Predators for two years, $2 million per. Guess we'll be seeing him more often than we thought...

Re: Free Agent Frenzy 2015
Jackman sucked a fat one the last 1-2 seasons. He's lost a step on an ever-faster NHL and I don't see him getting any faster. Preds may regret that signing and I don't begrudge you in the slightest for hoping the Hawks passed on him. I wouldn't re-sign him for $500k. But that's me.Kerfuffle wrote:Whew! - no disrespect to the Blues but I really didn't want the Hawks to sign Jackman and I got worried when it was stated in Chicago media that the Hawks were pursuing him.

Re: Free Agent Frenzy 2015
No disrespect taken. For his production, he's not worth more than $1M-ish per year. Most Blues fans didn't want him re-signed either, despite generally warm feelings toward him.Kerfuffle wrote:Whew! - no disrespect to the Blues but I really didn't want the Hawks to sign Jackman and I got worried when it was stated in Chicago media that the Hawks were pursuing him.

Yep. Still don't understand that trade. He had a concussion when acquired. Didn't make sense even as a rental. He didn't perform better than what the Blues already had.WaukeeBlues wrote:'Yotes sign a whole host of players, including Michalek.

For those freakin' out over Senko not being signed today, he's kind of got other things on his plate.

Re: Free Agent Frenzy 2015
Jackman could have gotten a similar contract from a number of teams. To jump on it day 1 from a known rival of the team that he spent his entire career with is kind of an asshole move.

Re: Free Agent Frenzy 2015
Maybe not. Maybe that was the best money/term combo on the table. We'll never know. I don't think the rivalry with the Preds is all that brutal anyway. I think we hate the Hawks way more than anything the Preds have done to us.glen a richter wrote:Jackman could have gotten a similar contract from a number of teams.

He may be in a better position to protect his future earnings if he gets married before said earnings materialize. So maybe he's just being shrewd.WaukeeBlues wrote:And it naturally wouldn't make sense to have him signed BEFORE his wedding...dmiles2186 wrote:For those freakin' out over Senko not being signed today, he's kind of got other things on his plate.
