So who do you guys think could be potential steals in Free Agency

For me I got

For Forwards

1. Tatar
2. Kahun
3. Stephan

For Dman

1. Suter
2. Yandle
3. McCabe

For Goalies

1. Anderson (Tor)


So by steal I mean you can sign them for cheap due to previous circumstances (underperformed or got injured) and they play far and beyond better than what they are being payed (think Verhaeghe situation)


Coleman (unless he gets overpaid like Goodrow did)
Tatar
Bunting
Gusev

McCabe
Suter
Yandle

Ullmark

I think Coleman is gonna earn upwards of 5mill. RNH and Hyman are getting that so why not him. My guess is either 4.5x4 or 5x6

Issue with Ullmark we already know hes gonna be good because of Buffalo so hes probs gonna get a Dreidger deal. Still could be in the category. I chose freddie mostly cause he sucked this season and will probs have to take a discount. But if we see him bounce back on a 1 year 2.5mill deal that could be a steal as Healthy freddie was a monster.

I wonder is Gusev even gonna be in the NHL next year?

Bunting is a very good choice I got him either being a Leaf or returning to Coyote

Watching Ullmark play on Buffalo, he carried them. Without him, they would get blown out every game. If he had at least an average defense, he could be very good

Gusev does have the potential to be a top 6 player if he stop being such a liablity on defense. Offensive talent is there though

I think Bunting is going to the Leafs

Bunting said he wants to stay in Arizona

But if Dubas trades for Garland that could change

And with Arizona selling everyone but Chycrun you got to think theirs a deal worth making there

Garland, Dvorak, Schmaltz, etc.

I just dont know about Gusev anymore. Tampa may take a chance as he and Kucherov used to play together but I think he either goes back to the KHL or is bounced around like Chucky was before he came to Toronto lul.

I think more. If Hyman is gonna get between 5-5.5 and RNH got 5.125

Unless the deal is 3-4 years got to think Coleman with 2 cups probs asking for around 5mill

If Goodrow got 3.6, Coleman will get close to 5

Goodrow should have gotten 2.5-3M
Coleman should have gotten 4-4.5M

Cant wait to see Riley Kidney in a Leafs jersey lul

Dubas can finally break the media by drafting a Canadian in round 2

But in general this draft year is gonna be meh. To many unknowns, to many potential busts, but there could be lots of steals.

Gonna have more excitement for the 2022 draft as that has some good players
