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

[effen]

Stop penciling Othmann in. It's a disservice to him.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

How much space do they have left now?

With Kakko at bridge 2.5, Hajek as 7th D, Rydahl as 4C, and Jones in, Goat sent down, they have 480k

Kakko's camp telling Kaplan they will work with them on a contract but they don't believe he will finish his career as a Ranger. Don't see what putting that out there accomplishes for them.

Link?

Link?

She said it on The Point on ESPN+

It came off as Kaplan was speculating this rather than it was coming from Kakko's camp.

Unless of course Kakko is now considering become a porn star.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Any chance the Rangers could sign both Larson (to play 4th line LW) and Motte (to play 4th line RW)? Guess it would depend on what Kakko gets.

If they both sign for 1M and they trade Reaves. In other words, nope.

I feel like something had to be lost in translation there. I really don't see what they think they could stand to gain by saying that about their client who has disappointed thus far and is only 21.

Weegar replacement

 

[Payote75]

how's the team incomplete?

biggest problem really is either moving kreider down to the 3rd line so Laf can play top line or making someone play their off wing (Kreider, Laf)

I agree with that but at that price and how he leads and 50+ goals won't happen. Now as a leader he and Bread one of the should do what's right and volunteer to move to RW for the good of laffy and the good of the franchise they are seasoned enough that they can do that laffy should play where he has always played he is our future that's one thing.

As far as incomplete if you do the above or not you still have some miscast players that you may not get the most out of hurting any trade value if that's the route you take. Kakko Kravy should have been developed better Chytll not a center these guys any mix of them should languish on a 3rd line with no pp time or even pk. We did it right with the defense Miller fox Lindgren we let them develop get ice time take lumps but not with the forwards. Laffy has to be on the pp and on all honesty Kakko Kravy Chytll they have skill and has not been given proper time or mean to develop.

Now you also have extra dmen and all these assets are losing value either by not playing at all or again being miscast.

So incomplete I think they need to make a trade to unload some of these assets before it's way too late and I don't mean a dump I mean put a couple together and get a player of need. I'm sure whoever that player is will be and has been previously discussed.

I don't see it happening either, but at the same time he has nothing left to prove in juniors. Wish there was another option.

The kid is 21. Why the f*** is he thinking about the rest of his career? Very few players finish their careers with the teams that drafted them...even top-3 overall picks.

 

[McRanger92]

Probably. My gut feel is that Kakko is getting moved though.

I think it’s just Emily being Emily

I definitely could see it, just think a comment like that makes little sense.

Kid gets 3 pumps in and all of a sudden he's Nick Papagiorgio?

For what? We got our 2C and can’t afford a pricy winger

 

[Avery16]

I think almost all of us could agree that today could’ve gone a lot worse than it did.

 

[McRanger92]

For what? We got our 2C and can’t afford a pricy winger

They can afford a lot if they can get another team to retain. I just think the logjam of wingers/defense still needs to work itself out. Its also fishy that he's still unsigned. We'll see what happens

 

[Guyute]

I think almost all of us could agree that today could’ve gone a lot worse than it did.

Agreed. We could have signed Drury and Gomez, but instead Drury signed Trocheck and Halak/Domingue.

PK Subban signing coming in hot

 

[Payote75]

I bleed rangers as most of you do if Kakko thing is true I have never in my lifetime and I'm 46 seen so many kids disgruntled and just almost not want to be rangers going bk to lias Kravy Kakko and while lias seems to suck again we are miscasting and not developing these dudes right. Kakko can't be on the 3rd line. A rebuild when you luck out and get pick 1 and two consecutive you let these kids play then plug in around them where help is needed to bring them along even faster you don't stick them on 3rd line no pp time no anything time can't gone skills can get confidence which is huge thing in hockey and most sports. Look where these dudes taken and we still don't know bust or no bust because we have not much to base it off of. That's why I said Ottawa may be doing it better than us as far as being there forwards along.

PK Subban signing coming in hot

Better give him 8 years to keep the aav under a million
