GDT: Free Agency Day - 7/13 @ 12pm EST

[LOFIN]

Percentage chance Kakko signs an offer sheet?

Even if a fresh organization would do good for him, I doubt he wants to leave New York. Unless it's a team like the Avs. Kakko has repeatedly said he loves it here, even after the end of the season in Finnish media/interviews.

 

[Boris Zubov]

i think we can apply occams razor here

So can @Machinehead

Copp doesn’t sound too happy with Drury

Makes me think maybe Copp did want to come back after rumors said he had his heart set on going back home to Detroit.

 

[Avery16]

The cycle is complete

 

[McRanger92]

I'm predicting Kakko Lundkvist Nemeth for JT MIller 50% retained. Not an endorsement or inside info, but I have a hunch.

[RangerBoy]

Where is Kadri going? Columbus? They have the $$$.

Ryan Strome? He must be pissed. They gave Trocheck how much?

 

[Levitate]

That would suggest to me Gallant told Drury or Drury came to the conclusion they didn’t think he was a center

Which if you’re looking at usage would line up

Weird situation

makes sense as a deadline add and worked out real well for the Rangers from that perspective, but yeah the whole "not really a center" thing feels a tad odd. But...with Strome entrenched there they didn't reallg ive Copp much of a shot to work on it

I wouldn't be surprised at this point if Kakko is traded for Miller or Kane.

In the interview earlier he kinda said he wanted to go to Detroit

LOLOL

Flames for Kadri, Strome who freaking knows lol.

along with who else? kreider ?
cuz you ain't; fittin anyone else in under the cap

 

[NYR Viper]

Mikhayev (Sp?) puts Vancouver over the cap

 

[gabevh3]

Vatrano at 3.6? What a bargain

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

In the interview earlier he kinda said he wanted to go to Detroit

Yeah, so it's odd that he seemed pissed at Drury if he also kinda wanted to leave anyway.

 

[Savant]

If Florida is signing Colin White I am 100% calling them on Sam Bennett.

 

[Daves a mess]

Lou lose his phone in Muttontown?

Thomas gets 8 yrs in Louie

 

[haohmaru]

T

Copp said no offer came in from the Rangers just now on ESPN+

NYR (and WPG) don’t view him as a 2nd line center. They aren’t wrong.

 

[rangers1314]

 

[DanielBrassard]

Miller and Kane would both be retained down to 2.625 so no one else.

 

[Levitate]

Yeah, so it's odd that he seemed pissed at Drury if he also kinda wanted to leave anyway.

could have just been frustrated to not receive an offer to contemplate even if he did want to go to detroit. could be a "they didn't value me the way I thought they should have"

but, who cares now

 

[McRanger92]

Kakko's long-term future is clearly not here even if he does sign a bridge. Chytil possibly as well. I dont think the odds are high that he becomes as good a player as Trocheck over the next few years.
