Radio silence from Larry???? Blink twice if you’re ok

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Imagine if you’re Guentzel and you go from a real man’s man, alpha male center, like Sidney Crosby to a mild mannered soy bean tofu eating Swedish dj like Mika. Poor guy!

I didn't know @EdJovanovski had another account.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

turns out he sort of needs a generational center to produce.... WHY ARE WE DOING THIS!?

from the last 3 seasons...

Geuntzel is typical NYR move that fall flat on it's face imo

Very wary of this myself. Crazy gamble for a high end rental.

8 year extension through age 37 would be the cherry on top.

How rude!

I don’t have an obsession with the men’s Russian national hockey team, so this can’t be his burner.

He will be playing with another generational center though.

 

[Flan the incredible]

It's been reported a few times that there were only a handful of teams he was interested in and the Rangers weren't one them. I think I read it on here and twitter. He was never linked to the Rangers. Him signing elsewhere should be no surprise.

Can't put too much weight on that. Same rumors said he had a deal in place with Tampa but that would be tampering as the Flames didn't give him permission to work on a contract with Tampa.

We also don't know if Drury ever showed Interest and thus would eliminate the Rangers from the conversation if he didn't.

well, pretty much, I think my point would be why twist ourselves into pretzels about how drury failed if we don't know what was possible or not

 

[I Eat Crow]

Guentzel seems like a smokescreen to me. I don't think he ends up here.

That’s a lot of pressure to be putting on Wennberg, don’t you think?




Oh my bad you meant Goodrow!

 

[Alluckks]

Media leverage for a better price at someone else makes sense

Do we really want to mess with the Trochek line?

I can only report on what I read. You were the one who is upset and just assumes Drury didn't do his due diligence. Nobody really knows.

Second oldest trick in the book. Pittsburgh leaking this to get Carolina and Vancouver to up their offers.

The most famous is, never get involved in a land war in asia...

[mas0764]

Guenetzl would be...good for a run but holy moly I don't want to know what it'd cost
1st, Jones, Othman, and change?

Whatever it is, it’s not worth it.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I said he chose to pay more for Wennberg.

He did not. Tarasenko wanted to go to Florida and used his NTC as leverage. We could not have reacquired Tarasenko in a deal involving salary retention per the CBA. That was covered by Seravalli the other day.

[HatTrick Swayze]

Fun fact, Guentzel is top 5 in ENG the last 3 seasons. Had 7 last year.

 

[mas0764]

Hope not.

 

[Flan the incredible]

Eh why twist yourself into a pretzel by following a team who has 1 stanley cup in over 80 years? We each have our reasons i guess.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Guentzel is injured right? That'd be my big concern along with dubas's price demands. I don't want to send two good near NHL ready prospects to a division rival for a rental. And I certainly don't want to pay Jake what he'll want on a contract.


That said, he really would fit this team's needs like a glove. He's a forechecking menace, he's quick and slippery, and all he does is score postseason goals.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Hope not.

You almost had a stroke with the Wennberg trade which made a shit ton of sense. I hope you are taking your blood pressure meds because there will be another trade coming.

 

[DialUp]

Absolutely Hanifin would have made the Rangers a better team....but only if he took minutes away from Trouba and/or Lindgren and that wasn't going to happen unless either of those guys are traded. Our 3rd pair is FINE, they aren't the problem.

But we knew all this as we go into Friday. We might get a 7d insurance guy, and probably will find someone to fill in for 1RW, but the D was never in the cards to be "fixed".

 

[I Eat Crow]

Drury doesn't like dealing in division. Gorton had no issue. I just don't see it with the Rangers and Guentzel. He's also a LW and not a RW.

Vatrano is a no go with his cap hit. Anaheim can't retain. They're on crack for asking for a 1st for him. I'd rather pay a 3rd for a second duty of Anthony Duclair if they want that type of player.

 

[RangerBoy]

The next Frank Vatrano. EF said Nashville is looking at him. Ofofsson's first game since February 15.
