You have that in writing? It seems to me that the butthurt is still pretty strong among that fanbase.

I mean, not letting go and moving on to a new scapegoat sounds exactly like Habs fans to me.
I would say Strome has more upside than Namestnikov. He had strong season with us. Can play center and wing.
Namestnikov has to be the next to go.

You could afford to risk more than $1.

Trouba will get $8 for 7 years I suspect--maybe a little less like $7.5.
Buchnevich $3.5 for two years--someone suggested 4 years--okay---another someone suggested 6 years at $4 and I would say no to that.
Tony D--$2.5 for two years.
Brendan Lemieux--1 or 2 years for $1.5.
So how to pay?---probably going to be moving Kreider for one---maybe buying out Brendan Smith as well and if we're really lucky we'll find someone to take on Kevin Shattenkirk. Namestnikov also could get moved. Moving Kreider would bring back the best return--I expect he will get a 1st + which for all those unhappy that the 'rebuild' is over is a move that keeps that rebuild going. We'll see though. But anyhow you look at the Rangers roster will be a lot stronger next year with Panarin and Trouba........and Kakko and probably Kravtsov, Fox and maybe Shestyorkin too.

Theoretically, if Carolina is not sure they want to match the offer sheet, could they look to trade Aho for a better package than the 1st + 2nd + 3rd Montreal would give up and then acquiring team could match that offer sheet?
Basically, could the rangers trade for Aho and match that offer sheet in the next week

But they can set up a trade, match and then trade him, which is essentially the same thing.
Edit: I’ve been corrected

The player can't be traded during the 7 day period their team has to match. If Carolina matches, they can't trade him for a year either.

Shatty just didn't work out here. He was always kind of a reach as a first pairing D though and last year IMO it should have been him as #1 RD not Neal Pionk. He was the guy making the big $'s but for some reason that didn't happen. To me that's kind of telling.

He’s taking his summer training this year pretty serious after completely being past his injury, I would be expecting a bounce back year. Hopefully rebuilding his trade value.

Where do you see that? Both should be entering the final year of their ELC. They shouldn't have been RFA...
