So by adding 5 players and make players to earn their playing time is what he is talking about?

competition for ice time needs to have buy in from the coaching staff too. Something not many here thing Sutter is capable of doing fairly. Some feel he has his favorites and that is that. However I think if the 04 flames where the players who preformed saw the ice. Sutter can coach this way, and I imagine he is on the same page.

Sean Monahan extended in CAL. Seven years, it's around Nathan MacKinnon's AAV ($6.3M).

Monahan AAV is $6.375M




Huge fan of Monahan, love his size, his game and he's produced well, going into his 4 th year in the NHL and he's not 22 yet.

Johnny Hockey still not inked ...but hoping to get it done before the WC.

Thank God it's over...I was sick of hype

After consulting with his agents Pete Fish and Pete Donatelli today, Jimmy Vesey has decided to sign with NYR. #VeseyWatch is over.



He said he wanted to stay on the East Coast and playing time was a factor. But I didn't have the Rangers as the winner.

By last count there were 13 ufa\rfa types on World Cup rosters. Insurance to be provided by NHL\NHLPA plus some players will elect to top up


I wonder how much that will be? As the article below (insurance and 2018 Olympics) it's quite costly, (as noted that Taveres tore up his knee and was out the rest of the year) and that might be a factor in the NHL deciding not to allow players to go in 2018.

With the I.O.C. no longer willing to cover those premiums and the International Ice Hockey Federation unable to cover the cost by itself, the governing bodies are reaching out to all parties involved to find a resolution.

If the Ranger fans think he's going to be some kind of saviour, they'll be really disappointed. The media hype around this guy was so big, you'd think he's the next Crosby. He'll be a 15-20 goal guy a year type player, nothing more.

I don't even remember the name of the last college free agent that everyone was salivating over last season.

Told interest from multiple teams on unsigned Bruins pick Matthew Benning. Right shot D, smart, competitive. LA, EDM, VAN all make sense


NCAA Free agent, son of NHL D Brian Benning.

"Matt is a real cerebral, puck-moving defenseman. There is a quiet toughness to him," Madigan said. "People look at him and see the type of player he is and I think they underestimate how tough he is, whether it's giving or taking it. He's a rock back there for us. We have him playing 25-28 minutes a game. We're using him 5-on-5, we play him on the penalty-kill, and the power play. ... For me, he's as good an all-around defenseman as there is in the league."

Guess he didn't want a cup. :naughty:
 
This could be intriguing.

He is from Edmonton and was drafted by Chiarelli and Edmonton also needs RD.
So my logic says Lombardi`s got this covered.
