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

Totally OK with those 2 deals. If either is terrible, then send them to Hartford and everything comes off the cap.

Best case scenario is they provide cheap depth and contribute well to the team.

 

[SA16]

Wheeler is currently the best RW on the team, by a wide margin. He is not bottom six or depth.

 

[Jacques Strap]

Lmao clown boy Staple.

Staple is just click bait. He used cover the Iceholes for Newsday. He was the only one reporting it. I'm sure he just wanted to stir the shit and cause controversy for the NYR.

Habs fan here. I'm not pleased with this one bit. You guys got a real player. He's a fourth liner at this point, but he's got a very high IQ. Relentless worker.

I would have dumped Dvorak for nothing if it meant keeping him. Kudos to you guys.

The Rangers need help on the fourth line/bottom six.

 

[zlev]

Belzile has decent analytics, great pickup

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Wow, 800k for Quick and Wheeler? If so that's some nice cheap signings.

 

[gravey9]

Look, I am a sucker for Ranger fans coming home and playing for their home team. But, I've seen Quick more recently with the Kings. He is toast 90% of the time. And then once in a while he has a throwback game.

 

[Crease]

FANS: Why don’t the Rangers ever sign bought out vets to cheap show me contracts?

DRURY: *Does that*

FANS: WHAT ABOUT THE LETTER.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Drury getting some value at the 33 cent store.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Wheeler is currently the best RW on the team, by a wide margin. He is not bottom six or depth.

I agree people are seriously undervaluing him

 

[Svenhart2008]

Belizle is low key a great pick up…. Need terms

 

[RangerBoy]

Not $175K. $100K

 

[RGY]

Drury has done a great job so far. Both Quick and Wheeler for under $900k is great work.

 

[Jacques Strap]

any good?

Kreider's buddy from BC. Good defensive D. $?

Dumoulin is one of the worst players in the league

 

[RangerBoy]

Mr. $1.2M plus bonuses for Quick

 

[Raspewtin]

Belizle is giving Blackwell when we signed him

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Even @EdJovanovski can't complain about these deals. I think.

Are you sure about that?

 

[cheech70]

So any salary under 1m can be released and it doesn't count towards the cap?

 

[Kords]

Guess those extra 100k's add up, but a Talbot reunion would of been cool.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Under 1.125 I believe

Wheeler one is a steal. When I heard about Wheeler rumors I was like how tf can we afford that? He signed cheaper than Reaves LOL

Quick I’m not sure of, I’m a pretty sentimental guy so I like the idea of this over the hill guy getting to play for his childhood team and hopefully get a second wind, but he was like the 4th goalie on Vegas depth chart lol. Raanta got signed for cheap too, not sure if he would’ve taken that to play here though. Talbot also just signed for 1 mill.

I think that only works for players that can be sent to the AHL. Need to see it Quick or Wheeler have NMCs.
