GDT: Free Agency Frenzy - 2023 (12pm EST)

[GoAwayPanarin]

Or Shayna

Yeah she’s good too

 

[zlev]

damnit the Panthers got Reilly. another PMD off the scrapheap that'll look like Brian Leetch next playoffs. they have a great front office over there.

 

[JimmyG89]

Acciari got 3 years 2M AAV. Would have loved having him, but a little too rich with Goodrow still around.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

So what did Drury say? I can't go on Musk's FUBAR machine. Denied Laf trade rumors, talked about how good Wheeler is and the veteran presence these players bring...

Anything else noteworthy?

 

[IDvsEGO]

Or Shayna

You mean the person who works for them already?

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Oh does she? I didn't know that. She covers NHL, in general?

We have a PMD defenseman. His name is Zac Jones.

 

[will1066]

Johnny Lazarus is like 20 and is scooping everyone.

The athletic should just hire him.

Wonder if he scooped up Emily too

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Quick at 825k
Wheeler at 800k
Bonino at 800k
Pitlick at 787k

That’s a backup goalie, middle 6 RW, 4C and 4RW for 3.2 million. This is good work by Drury.

You have vets who can be waived without any issue if the kids beat them out but you don’t have to depend on the kids stepping in if they’re not ready a la a Gorton built roster.

Say Othmann and Cullye need a little time to percolate, you can run this roster, which looks good to me:

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko
Panarin-Trocheck-Wheeler
Lafreniere-Chytil-Goodrow
Vesey-Bonino-Pitlick

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Jones-Schneider

Harpur as an extra on D.

Ideally Othmann or Cullye make the team and force Goodrow down to the 4th and one of those guys comes out as the extra. Lots of guys to rotate here.

Most importantly, you haven’t committed any term to anyone.

 

[haohmaru]

Acciari got 2 x 2M. We couldn't have payed him.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

We could've if we dumped Goodrow

I want no part of the kids with goodrow.

Lafreniere-Zibanejad-Kakko
Panarin-Chytil-Wheeler
Kreider-Trocheck-Goodrow
Vesey-Bonino-Pitlick

And if othmann does tear up the AHL, slide goodrow down to the 4th and rotate for the best of those 3.

 

[zlev]

yeah and? we need more of them

 

[haohmaru]

Carpenter off to San Jose.

We could've if we dumped Goodrow

It's pretty clear that Drury thinks Goodrow is the type of player the Rangers need more of, not less.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

yeah and? we need more of them

Time for a Del Zotto reunion!

 

[rangers1314]

What a day for musk to roll out these new jagoff limits

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

It's pretty clear that Drury thinks Goodrow is the type of player the Rangers need more of, not less.

We do...just not at his price tag

 

[Tob]

me think vlad tarasenko too quiet. maybe lou lam?

 

[haohmaru]

Chris Drury obviously disagrees with you. I don't.

no way Wheeler and Panarin play together. Two playmakers. Wheeler is also way too slow to play with Bread.

Panarin will go from playing with his BFFs Kane and Tarasenko to a sled in Wheeler and someone he dissed in the past in Kakko.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Smith only signed for a million in Dallas. That would've been a good fit. I know he's more of a wing, but seems like more value there than Bonino.

 

[17futurecap]

me think vlad tarasenko too quiet. maybe lou lam?

We will know it’s islanders if it’s August 15th, and they still haven’t announced the deal.

 

[rangers1314]

Graves got 6/4.5AAV from Pitt.

 

[bigdog16]

Johnny Lazarus is like 20 and is scooping everyone.

Johnny Laz is actually a pretty likeable guy. Seems to get along with everybody and definitely has connections in the game. He was playing D1 not long ago

 

[DanielBrassard]

Don’t think so, sounds like DeBrincat has a good shit of going there
