GDT: Free Agency 2019

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Holy **** that Tanev contract lol.

3.5? doesn't sound bad

 

[LeetchisGod]

yeesh 12 x 7

that's a lot of bread man

He's not a $12 million player. This franchise can't help themselves. I hope it works out though.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I’m sticking to my barometer of 11.5m.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Now it’s time to move Kreider for assets

Get er’ done Gorts

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I could see 13+ being thrown around. They probably said we are going with Isles if you dont come up to 12. Done deal.

Having him in MSG instead of on a line with Barzal for 7 years is worth an extra million per to me.

[Melrose Munch]

Dolan a better hockey owner then basketball?

 

[Thirty One]

I’m sticking to my barometer of 11.5m.

It's pronounced THERMOMETER.

 

[Fitzy]

Banking on another compliance buyout with the new CBA I see.

The only way I'm celebrating this move is if it's followed by an announcement that Smith, Staal, and Shattenkirk decided to retire and start a restaurant together called "The Albatross S Brothers"

 

[MysticLeviathan]

It wouldn’t shock me if the isles offered $13m per year. Not sure if $1m per year is a lot of money being left on the table, though.

I still think we're very dependent on how last year's and this year's young'uns do. Bread Man's gonna have to be patient this first year.

They are no longer a lottery team.

Get used to it.

So frustrating to really think the Rangers had changed. Also so stupid of me to ever believe a new GM would be able to restrain himself.

Panarin is a great player. But this is just a poorly timed move that could really **** us down the line.

Signing big FAs has never won us diddly. Nor other teams around the league.

Same old Rangers.

Signing a big FA to complement your team is fine. Signing big FAs to create your team is not.

 

[RangerLifer]

Is there a thread on Panarin yet?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

3.5? doesn't sound bad

6 years for a bottom 6'er is crazy.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

12 x 7 is the very epitome of Same Old Rangers

[Thirty One]

Dolan a better hockey owner then basketball?

Well, yeah, because he doesn't get involved.

 

[doomscroll]

These types of contracts kill teams

I’d definitely give Panarin $12 million AAV long-term over Brandon Tanev @ 3.5.

 

[nyr2k2]

He's not a $12 million player. This franchise can't help themselves. I hope it works out though.

He is what the free agent market dictates he is. Just like Anders Lee will be a $9M player and Bob will be a $10M player. The free agent market adjusts itself and the players' values every year. Doesn't mean WE had to give that to him, but that's what he is. Next year we'll marvel at what a bunch or other guys sign for.

 

[mas0764]

LOL if he signs for 7/84, what ton of money did he leave? Must be in reference to FLA.

Columbus and possibly Islanders offered $13m+

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Dolan a better hockey owner then basketball?

He hasn't won anything in either league.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Loool

there goes 7 pages while I type one message. And the Breaddude!?

Pls be cheap, pls be a steal!

 

[Anzi]

Our best chance to compete is probably 2021 and 2022 before those 3 year ELCs end.

 

[Tawnos]

It wouldn’t shock me if the isles offered $13m per year. Not sure if $1m per year is a lot of money being left on the table, though.

That's $7m total, which is a lot.

 

[RiffyNYR61]

How does Zib feel making $5M next to Panarin at $12M? Doesn't matter, but it's weird.
