[Its Always Sundstrom]

I like Rango but I also like black licorice and I’m a natural contrarian.

then shouldnt you be rooting for the Angels ? !!!
hey how about Rheingold instead of Rango

 

[Forge]

Rango is the clear choice to me. Its only a little weird because we also have a mango

 

[glenwo2]

Hate to be "that guy" but Rango sound too much like a Rangers nickname as in NY Rangers.


Can't we just call him Yegor, DAMMIT???

 

[Better Call Sal]

Nobody on this forum likes Rango

 

[The 29th Pick]

the veterans on the forum already agreed that Rango is a NO

And do you really hate to be that guy!

Good thing nobody listens to has beens

 

[Ol Dirty Bstrd]

Wouldn’t Ringo make more sense than Rango based on how his name is pronounced?

Personally I prefer Yegor or Shara anyway

Consider it considered.

I'm assuming it's because of shaRANGOvich.

I just dont get any nickname starting with R or G when his name starts with Shar...
Wasnt Ringo a bass player for the Stones or something?

It's either Sha-RANG-O-vich or Shar-an-go-vich. Don't see where Ringo fits.

 

[beekay414]

I mean, y'all chose Shaq over Mookie for Mukhamadullin so I'm not surprised you guys are terrible at nicknames.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Can't we all just get along?

Sharangovich needs to be protected as this is his 3rd year pro. Also, the kids aren't exempt from the expansion draft if they don't hit the games requirement - they can still be selected, but they just wouldn't count towards the requirement that 2 forwards with the minimum games played threshold be exposed. We'd need to find other players to meet that requirement, which could theoretically cause a team to have to expose a player they would have otherwise protected.

No need to resign Dell as Cormier already meets the goalie exposure requirement.

Taking on a cap dump is probably not a good idea unless there is a major sweetener to go along with it.

I see - KHL experience counts.

The sweetener would obviously be the only reason to do a cap dump. But I think my point is that if we're a playoff cusp team (which is really hard to fathom considering what this league is like) - and we are in the unenviable position of not knowing for sure that we are sellers - and you have so many other teams out there with cap hell - we could probably kill three birds with one stone: get a sweetener (draft pick/prospect), plus someone who could help immediately who wouldn't be a rental, plus get someone we could expose and qualifies to meet the requirement who's contract might be an impediment towards being picked but wouldn't at all hurt us to have around. With most of the guys above the contract is only 1 or two years, so it wouldn't hurt our cap for long and would be off the books by the time we need to sign our RFAs.

The weaponizing of our cap space in this way would also make us attractive to:
1. Winning teams trying to win a cup, and wanting to get rid of some somewhat deadwood to clear space for another move - plus we could send a Vatanan or Butcher back in return who might help out as 6th Dman.
2. Losing teams who are starting fresh but have cap hindrances and just want a contract off the books - say a suffering Oilers team or Chicago or the Sharks and will take back prospects in return.

I'm having fun. Let's get it.

I'm loving how the Rango nickname debate has evolved into our most salient discussion. It's the new Severson's giveaways, Marty vs Cory, and Zacha debate rolled into one.

 

[regulahbread]

In his postgame presser, Jack referred to him as "Shary". I think that's what the team is going with. Super original stuff.

lol hockey players are the most bland, least creative bunch in the sports world.

 

[The Wumpus]

Shaggy is the obvious choice.

 

[Cheddabombs]

like Ford F150 or Tonka or f***ing Raisins idk
