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

[NYR Viper]

Reilly Smith is a good player and he would be a good fit. It's all about cost. I'm not trading anything of major value here...

 

[gabevh3]

Drury is not even looking at dmen . He’s focused on getting a RW because Zibumejad asked for one publicly

He did? Link?

 

[frozenrubber]

Washington is nearly 13 mil over the cap. That's more than 10% of the cap. They have 8 dmen under contract. I wouldn't be surprised if they moved one of them today.

They're obviously not moving any of the guys they added today. I can't see them moving Fehervary. Maybe TVR, but he doesn't make enough to get them under 10% overage. Would they trade Sandin?

Backstrom (9.2M) is effectively LTIR retired

 

[Ruggs225]

i mean what assets can we trade for Reilly Smith. Drury already traded all our mid round picks the next 3 drafts basically.

and why are we trading assets for Reilly Smith in the first place.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Welp, hold on to your butts

For Trouba please

 

[MrAlmost]

Anything more than Future Considerations is tough. Haha

Better not be more than a late pick or a C prospect.

 

[will1066]

People are crying about Gus? Wouldn't even give him a mil here. Said he was terrible (which turned out to be true).

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I sincerely f***ing hope not.

Kakko + Jokes for Smith lol

 

[Lion Hound]

Watch we trade Kakko for Smith

Makes sense...

Beat writers- Rangers looking to get younger.

Rangers trade 23yr old Kappo Kakko for 33yr old Reilly Smith

 

[hardnosed]

lol this would've been fine for us, now we're gonna give Lindgren 5x6 or something. i hate this team.

There was no way we were suiting up both Gus and Zac. Gus leaving has nothing to do with Lindgren. You don't replace Lindgren with Gus. You replace him with the guy the Caps got from Ottawa.

 

[noncents]

if we trade Kakko to the penguins for reilly smith, i might be done.

 

[effen]

Hollowell signs with Pens

We're f***ed. It's over.

[NYR Viper]

Aube-Kubel to Buffalo. that would have been a good signing. 1 year @ $1.5m

 

[effen]

Yakov Trenin and his league worst passing ability to Minnesota, 4/14.

 

[McRanger92]

Drury didnt trade Kakko to pittsburgh for Guentzel so ill be floored if hes going for smitty

 

[rangers1314]

The Duke played for Roy in the Q

[Mike in Houston]

For picks.

 

[LOFIN]

No Kakko? 2nd and 5th for Smith? I take that I guess

 

[rangers1314]

It’s a 2 and 5 for Smith

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

We had a 2nd to trade for Smith?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Chris at some point we’re gonna run out of picks

It’s fine I guess but I’m kind of tired of trading these f***ing picks for rentals

 

[Boris Zubov]

People are crying about Gus? Wouldn't even give him a mil here. Said he was terrible (which turned out to be true).

Remember that one FA salary model during the season which had him getting 3 x $5M this offseason? LOL.
