Confirmed with Link: Braden Schneider Signed: 2 years / $2.2m

[HatTrick Swayze]

This is valid but there are 2 sides to a negotiation and they are going to need every dollar to sign Laf, Miller, and Igor next year.

Other teams get it done. And Laf and Miller situation is feeds right into my original point. Like I say it is what it is. How the NYR do business.

 

[bhamill]

Reading it again it probably was. Right?

Hope so. He and I disagree at times but he always seems pretty reasonable.

They didn't with Fox. Also people were calling Laf a major bust last year at this time and the jury was still out on him. Where they supposed to sign him long term last off season given that situation?

 

[JCProdigy]

Pretty expensive deal for a third pairing defenseman who seems to have dedicated his off-season this year to weddings rather than being on the ice improving his game.

Don't be jealous that he has friends and gets to leave his basement

 

[Kupo]

I wonder why Rangers never sign a young player long term to make it a bargain in the future. They rather have overpaid vets on the team instead of overpaid youngsters

Takes 2 to tango.

Say Drury wanted a 5 year deal and Schneider wouldn't commit to that term unless the number started with a 6. Then what? You would be ok with that?

A lot of you guys complain about the lack of long term deals, assuming the franchise is afraid to make a commitment. I bet a lot of the time it's on the players. They prefer the bridge and bet on themselves taking that next step. Especially knowing the cap will continue to rise over the years.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

I wouldve loved to have seen 8 X $5

 

[DanielBrassard]

Fair market value for a bridge deal. Nothing to go crazy about.

[GAGLine]

Great deal, further shows Drury didn't utilize his cap space for this upcoming season though

What cap space? The Rangers have just over 5 mil left, and Lindgren will eat up a good chunk of that.

Because we rarely have the cap space to do so. Even if we had the cap space this year, every dollar we give Schneider now is one less we have to give to Laf, Miller and Shesty next summer.

I understand that but, they never did this with young players like most of the teams do nowadays. No issues overpaying a older player, but never a young player where it could be a bargain

Fox?

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers played games with Schneider to accrue cap space for Kane in 2023. He lost a few dollars being in the AHL for a few days. The Rangers still owe him a few dollars.

Fox?

Fox was the only one and was older. Rangers need to do this with Lafréniere

It was given to him already, under the table.

 

[Fitzy]

.5 less per year then I had estimated, so I'll take that.

 

[Sayba]

Would have loved a longer deal. Feel like we're going to be paying him much more when this one expires with the rising cap and his performance.

Now, the real contract is all that is left. Drury cannot go more than 1 year with Lindgren. It's either that or trade him. Not up for discussion.

This is the Rangers MO

 

[n8]

less term. I would have given him that 2.7 AAV if it meant locking him in to a 3-4yr term that gives us a chance to resign him one more time (if it works out that way).

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Big two years for him, please show something.

He already has? He's going to be a very long-time NHLer.

 

[Machinehead]

Schneider has grown on me. For a guy of his size and profile, he moves the puck really well. He's gonna be a really good modern defender as he continues to develop.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I understand people wanting to sign Schneider to a longer term but that takes more money and they only have 5 mil to work with this year and still have to sign Lindgren and have a little cushion. Plus they need every dollar next year. It is what it is. Still a good deal.

Need to see a lot more, him and Miller together were not good. Lavi didn’t just go back to one foot Trouba and Miller for the fun of it in the playoffs.

He was good with Gus in the regular season, so worst case you would hope him and Jones could work out as a third pair.

I don’t see Miller and Schneider lasting more than 20 games next year before Trouba is back with Miller if that’s the plan to start training camp.

That’s fine, but to essentially say he’s shown nothing is a strange take.

 

[will1066]

Thing is we're used to seeing bad defense that Schneider looks downright good, though he's doing what an above-average defenseman ought to be doing.
