Around the NHL 2023-24 - offseason part II

[Bleedred]

Most predictable buyout of the day lol.

3.5 million AAV and 8 are 2 different worlds


Eventually it will become a place no one wants to go if they just treat all their UFAs like this.

Ehh probably not, its NY

What I find fascinating is they’re treating losing a tight six game ECF as if it was some freaking disaster and they need to clean out the room

At what point does shit like this start to really negatively effect the locker room?

If we are being honest, getting rid of Goodrow and possibly Trouba is a huge positive for the Rangers and something we don't want. Upgrades there and some better 5 on 5 play may put them over the top. They are really dependent on the PP and goalie play.

If i'm Shesterkin... I'm looking at Panarin's contract. Hard to argue Shesterkin isn't the mvp for the team.

So Panarins was $81.5m over 7 years. And that was signed over 5 years ago! Granted, yes, Free Agency vs. extension.

At the VERY LEAST you figure he has to get $10.5m x 8 years ($84m for whole contract). No?
He's certainly more valuable to the team than Panarin.

I don't think he realistically expects $13m,
Say Rangers start at $9m. If you split the difference you get $11m per year. Even if he loves NYR, I just can't see him going below $10m per year. Jonathan Huberdeu makes $10.5 FFS

Fortunately their best forwards have likely peaked and Shesterkin will demand a big enough deal it will slow them down a bit. They won’t go away quietly but if Shesterkin falters even a bit they won’t see the success they did this season.

Ya the rangers forwards are getting old and I’m hoping he signs a huge extension and then falls off.

Interesting, how often do you hear about a player looking for an offer sheet?

It's over. Hang 'em up already.

He can still produce offensively (still nearly a point per game last year), but age / injury may be a concern. Can't play defense either. Definitely a matchup / role player at this point

Buffalo should be very good team in the future.
With Helenius, Benson, Savoie, Kulich, Ostlund, Quinn, Peterka, Rosen and Neuchev they need even half of them to break out to build very strong team with Cozens, Thompson, Tuch, Power, Dahlin and Byram, Luukonen and Levi.
Ruff has great amount of talent.

The team would be lights out if their GM had a pulse.

He performed way better after hip surgery. I don’t see a problem with signing him to 1 year deals until he craps out.

Stop it.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Yeah, Kane was fine last year. Detroit also makes the playoffs if they had any serious depth at C outside of Larkin at the 1. That's their fault but I don't think anyone can fault them with how their year ended. Kane is also a good bridge to Nygaard

The Rangers fans are really hating on Zibanejad in particular. Labeling him soft and unmotivated. The guy had practically a hundred point season the year before last but they blame him for losing to Florida. Some also want Panarin gone. Who do they think will be left?

 

[MadDevil]

I do think it's funny a Russian goalie on a massive contract wins the Cup the same summer Shesterkin is negotiating an extension. Get every penny Igor!

Gonna wager it's at least 2 years too long to keep the aav at 5
