GDT: Free Agency 2019

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Has anyone noticed recently that Montreal fans are desperately trying to convince themselves that they’re building a better team/have a better prospect pool than the Rangers.

It’s really, really hilarious. The amount of delusion is remarkable.

Oh good. Lawton on the NHLN panel. Time for the mute button.

 

[Tob]

Marc Staal, Brendan Smith, and Shattenkirk off the books, replace them with some ELC, RFA bridge guys, a few cheap 3rd pairing options, that's money for Panarin for years.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Lol are they really?

Their pool is solid, but its not in our league.

 

[Russian Collusion]

Duchene in Ranger blue at 8 million per or Panarin at 11.6 per in Ranger blue? I know the former is in Nashville (and probably didn't want NY anyway) and not saying would have taken him over Panarin but he did fill the 2nd center need.
Same money I take Panarin no doubt but 4 million difference? definitely food for thought.

No state tax in Tennessee. There's the difference.

Yikes

Columbus made a late push on Duchene. Seems they're willing to give up their first. Would love to get my hands on it.

There was a thread on their board that’s a must read comparing our prospect pools. Some true hilarity.

 

[Kovalev27]

Mentioned this couple days ago but if you’re the Columbus ownership group is your eyebrow not raised at JD and Panarin right now? Mine would be. How hard did JD sell staying in Columbus lol

 

[will1066]

So when fans of other teams ***** about us just throwing money at overpriced FA no one can even pretend anymore.

We have been, are and will be the meme of NYR forever. Own it

But he took less money.

 

[wafflepadsave]

What else are we adding to close that out??

That’s for us to debate. Fast?

Yeah this is gonna be the worst contract in the league.

Wow. Just wow. How the f*** are these teams willing to give him SEVEN years? He should have gotten four years max.

 

[Anzi]

I'd pay Panarin 15mil x 7 before I'd pay Bob 10mil x 7. Absolutely insane.

We gotta pay Kakko and Kravstov in 3 years. We'll need it.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

But he took less money.

To be fair, so did Richards and Shattenkirk

They were aware he wanted NY before JD leaving was even an idea.

 

[Kaapo Takko]

Poor Oilers, no one wants to play for them.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

So, when is the lock out?

 

[NYR Viper]

Poor Oilers, no one wants to play for them.

I know a couple of guys who could be traded for who would play there...

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Poor Oilers, no one wants to play for them.

If they had any center depth they'd be a prime candidate for Kreider .

helps for sure. Wonder why Zucc didn't take a little less to play in Dallas? I'm sure they would have given him 5-5.25 range
