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

[LaffyTaffy13]

Jesus. Potentially two 2nds to get rid of Nemeth.

Yeah thats brutal man

 

[DanielBrassard]

oh, so that's a 2nd and either a 2nd or 3rd. Not great.

 

[bleedblue94]

so a 2nd and 3rd or two 2nds versus just buying nemeth out. what a throw away of dray picks. idiotic...

people here were saying it would cost a 5th. Riiiight...

 

[rangers1314]

Emberson played with Miller at Wisco.

3rd R pick in 2000

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Jesus. Potentially two 2nds to get rid of Nemeth.

Helps that they are a ways out and can be recouped. But yea that's brutal, no way to spin it.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Conditional pick options

There’s another condition on it, on TSN they said if Kravtsov breaks 150pts the pick becomes a 7th.

 

[bleedblue94]

5.9M

just enough to trade kakko for kane at 50% haha

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

5.9M

So 5.9 remains to resign kakko, and fill one spot on 4th line. Id leave some open for deadline purposes

 

[DanielBrassard]

Is Emberson anything? I know the name but nothing about the player.

 

[Alluckks]

Expensive cost to move Nemeth; bad mistake by Drury and the pro scouts all around on that

 

[Anthony5967]

Just can't be signing guys like this anymore. A 2nd in three years doesn't matter now, but the deal was never great. Nemeth didn't need a three year deal.

 

[duhmetreE]

What a disaster misstep

 

[TheBPA]

Emberson played with Miller at Wisco.

3rd R pick in 2000

Congrats on still hanging around the NHL! Did he play with Miller's dad?

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Can we afford Motter now?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Emberson played with Miller at Wisco.

3rd R pick in 2000

Jeez...he's a 42 year old RHD prospect. I like Drury giving the old guys a shot.

 

[Tob]

That should teach Drury a lesson about big stupid defensemen.

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[GAGLine]

Most likely, we had to pay more because the picks are so far out.

 

[frozenrubber]

Yikes. (2) 2nds is terrible. I waive Reaves before making that deal

 

[DanielBrassard]

Can we afford Motter now?

Nope. Assuming Kakko is at 2.5M the Rangers have 450K in cap space now.

 

[bleedblue94]

Rumours were circulating that Dolan wasn’t happy with all the buy-outs Gorton perfomed

then stop signing people to contracts with term. this trocheck contract will be the same thing. as soon as it was signing people here were saying just dump it the last two years. never change...

 

[TheBPA]

It's a somewhat steep price, but really, whatever. Nemeth, Georgiev, a 2nd and 2nd/3rd out, and two 3rds and 5th in.

The entire board would have signed up for trading Nemeth and Georgiev for nothing. That's basically what happened.

 

[rangers1314]

NYR paying the stupid tax

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Where do we sit cap space wise at the moment now with nemeth unloaded?

5.9M

Thought we had 4.4m before signing Halak, so more like 5.4M, no?

 

[Savant]

haha jesus christ, shouldve just bought him out

Buyout this year/Bury this year wouldn’t have helped.
