Tomorrow is like Christmas for some and Festivus for others. Will it be tears of joy or feats of strength?

My guesses:

Suter - Detroit
Parise - Minnesota
Brodeur - New Jersey
Semin - NYI
Doan - Chicago
Penner - IHOP

After that...yikes that's a lot of crap.

 

[maplesyrup]

Okay, I'll bite;

Suter - Detroit
Parise - Minnesota
Brodeur - New Jersey
Semin - Buffalo
Doan - Boston
Penner - LA
Parenteau - Carolina
Whitney - Pittsburgh
Jagr - Detroit
Carle - Nashville
Garrison - Florida
Hudler - NYI

 

[Sudafederov]

My guesses:

Suter - Detroit
Parise - Minnesota
Brodeur - New Jersey
Semin - NYI
Doan - Chicago
Penner - IHOP

If Penner is going to IHOP, then Semin is most certainly going to the Incredible Bongo Band

I completely forgot it was the start of the free agency period tomorrow.

Must be a combo of me not being all that interested compared to previous years and the distractions from the Schultz Sweepstakes.

I'm still all riled up about Schultz.  I wish they still started free agency at midnight because I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.

 

[Bullfrog]

I'm sleeping right now..........WAKING UP at midnight!

I'm sleeping right now..........WAKING UP at midnight!

And waiting 12 hours before things begin to be able to get started! Hooray!!!!!

To quote the great Jeff Ross, it's a Who's Who of who cares.

Although, for the interested, the artist formerly known as Down Goes Brown has a really good piece on Free Agency Day over at Grantland

Atlant Moscow Oblast....yeah I can't save it

Atlant Moscow Oblast....yeah I can't save it

I mean, yeah, but I was more confused by the idea that the Penguins would sign two guys they can't afford and one of the only teams in the League set in net would sign Martin Brodeur.

Must be a combo of me not being all that interested compared to previous years and the distractions from the Schultz Sweepstakes.

Plus, probably also the fact that Toronto isn't likely a choice destination for any notable free agents these days, anyway.

Gaustad extended in Nashville, 4 yrs 13 mil, 3.25 AAV.

That is...probably more than I'd have paid him.

 

[bustaheims]

Gaustad extended in Nashville, 4 yrs 13 mil, 3.25 AAV.

Good for him, but, he's overpaid by $500K-$750K.

 

[Madferret]

Does that justify the 1st the Preds paid for him?
