GDT: Free Agency Frenzy July 1st @ 12pm ET (Apparently it's not 12pm)

[TheDirtyH]

Skinner feels like a fit. Anywhere else he'd sign a 1 year discount prove-it like Duchene, but we'll probably lock him in at 5x6

So you're sayin we wont be giving out contracts that hamstring us from the moment they are signed and Im supposed to think this is a bad strategy? 15 years of doing exactly what you described is enough of a sample size to say it aint working for us, no?

It's amazing this place bemoans lack of planning and instant gratification in terms of not sucking forever and getting full 7 year rebuilds, but planning ahead for the coming contract tsunami for Igor and Laf and Miller is somehow being asleep at the wheel.

Why is that? NY is one of the premier destinations in the NHL, It's time that management used it to their advantage. We shouldn't have to pay more for someone to come to one of the most vibrant cities in the world

Taxes….

Every minute Trouba's move isn't announced, it makes me a bit anxious

 

[LORDE]

So is the clock like ticking at all on Trouba?

Can we like waive him @ any time or do we have to wait?

 

[McRanger92]

We have many holes that wont be filled at the trade deadline. People have the right to be concerned that we're going to roll out the same team/Defense. -Trouba.

Ill worry about that when its warranted, the way these contracts are being handed out, I bet there is a market for Trouba. and a lot of teams are going to have to move money out with these spending sprees. Patience is a virtue. We have a team thats better than 90% of the league without doing anything.

Sam Carrick getting lucky, Drury gonna convince Dolan he's the big ticket UFA signing of the year and send the helicopter to fly him in from JFK straight to MSG to do a tour of the offices.

 

[TheDirtyH]

what I bemoan is that every team seems to be able to just shake off horrendous deals whenever they need to, but ours stick to us like barnacles

 

[MrAlmost]

You guys need to realize we are not a destination anymore. Guys don't want to deal with the org that constantly signs big, surrounds you with shit and then blames you and spits you out soon after. People see what happened to Goodrow and Trouba. McDonagh. Callahan. Lundqvist.

We should not have tried to move Trouba since it would be easier to do next year anyways and should have used Lindgren and another piece to get better on LD.

The Rangers don't really seem committed to anything other than the bare minimum to grab playoff gates for a few rounds, and that seems to be some of the players too.

Of course, I don't know shit. There is still time. It's a longer summer than July 1st. Maybe we make some trades. Who knows? I just know I'm kinda tired of being boring.

More Trochecks. More Lafs. More Rempes. Guys with personality. Do anything to win it guys.

Sadly this is exac

Sadly, this is exactly what's going on isn't it?

This is the quietest I’ve ever seen us be on July 1st, none of the pundits are even mentioning us which is very rare

Everyones deals stick to them like barnacles, frankly.

We just dumped 3 years of Goodrow at 3x$3.64M for literally nothing

This isnt true at all but OK

 

[TheDirtyH]

Grezlyck is a BU kid. I'd be interested as a Gus or Lindgren replacement.

Drury just snapped Goodrow out of existence like Thanos and is probably going to do the same to Trouba. Did you want to give Tyler Toffoli 6 mil a year with that savings?

We're already seeing the issues with the way Drury is handling Goodrow and Trouba. Two well respected veterans with a letter on their jersey and he has already kicked one to the curb and is working to do the same with another. It looks like nobody wants to sign here. Anyway that can't get a full NMC has to be worrying that the same will happen to them as they get older if their play falls off.

Uh… way more likely the issue is that we just don’t want to hand out term. And I love to bag on Drury but he’s doing the right thing.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Carrick is gonna be fire on Mika's wing

This is just wildly untrue.

I think the dead quiet is part Trouba / replacement, and part they're going to pay Igor. Moneys already spent.

Heard earlier that he was going to Pittsburgh

Foegele is a fine player but I laughed last week when Dreger said he was coming off an "excellent" playoffs. 2 goals and 4 assists in 20 games. I dont think these guys even watch hockey at this point.

I would always rather pay a player too much for bringing some good results than pay a player anything to drag the team down.
