HockeyBuzz Hotstove: Best value free agent signing made thus far?

Wanted both guys this year. Ended up with one, so I'm happy

I mean, if you want to look at impact vs cost, the answer to this question should be John Tavares. But I understand that's not really the point here, so I'll say Grabner. $3.3M is peanuts for a dude who can score and kill penalties. Nice signing

Jumbo.

jack johnson or komarov

Duclair.

I also don't mind Ennis for the Leafs.

Duclair sucks.

Vanek

The Hall for Larsson trade will bite the Oilers for a long, long time.

JT was overpaid so no chance he would be the answer to this.

Yeah, JT is a real bargain....

Funny how things work out. Hall's first year in Jersey he gets 53 pts and Lucic gets 50pts in Edmonton.
Edmonton makes it far in playoffs.
Hall for Larsson and Lucic signing not looking so bad. Edmonton peeps not complaining...even bragging about how they'll win a cup within a couple years.

Next year Hall is MVP, Lucic gets low 30 in points and it's fire everyone!!

Tavares for 11
or
Lucic and Nuge for 12

I think you're confused. John Tavares is a top-five forward in the league. He turned down more money elsewhere to join the Leafs. Given today's market, he's actually underpaid

Milan Lucic is overpaid. Leon Draisaitl is overpaid. Andrej Sekera is overpaid

Ill take Leon at 3 mil less than JT. Leon had 3 less points in the past 2 years combined. And last year was considered a disappointing year for Leon. JT is also not a top 5 forward in the league. That is very cute you think so though!

It's actually $2.5M less.....not to nitpick or anything

And I don't doubt that you would. You and Chiarelli are clearly brilliant decision makers.....hahaha

Explain to me how hes a top 5 forward? The delusion out of toronto is unbelievable. Hes probably not even a top 10. And hes being paid as the second best player in the league. That is overpayment.

Your anger and frustration is clouding your judgment, my friend. I get it. Tough times in Oil country....

Not really. You can’t back your claim can you?
