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

Kane never made much sense from the Rangers point of view, he’s not what they needed. Probably was just looking for a better offer from Detroit.

Who makes sense then? I know, a guy like Brady Tkachuk or Pavel Buchnevich. They are not available.

That's one top winger off the board, and if he is willing to sign for one year, it should have been us TBH. That's the kind of commitment I'm absolutely fine with for Kane.

 

[17futurecap]

Very little risk for the Wings even if the money is high, smart.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Money is looking good these days.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Kane is all “unfinished business” until he sees the dollars. And then it becomes f*** that business lol

 

[AirGut]

what

no Kaner, probably no Stamkos in NY, this team still does need big names despite what people here on HF think.

Drury is going to go with the bare minimum this summer again I already have that feeling.

 

[Filip Chytil]

what

I think he was upset about Lias Andersson signing in Switzerland and wanted him back in NY

Someone who is better at playing on the walls, who can play off the cycle, who is a decent distributor. Kane is one of those things.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Kane and Stamkos going elsewhere is great for us.

Ya’ll are trippin. Those guys were horrible fits here.

why exactly do they need a big name? Other than for Dolan to sell jerseys

You forgot carry the puck up ice.

Kane is still only one of those things.

It made a lot of sense actually. Guy came back from surgery and was basically a PPG player who could have played on the garbage Mika line to set those two up.

Who is playing on that line now?

It's like nobody watched the last 3 post seasons.

Wrong about Kane, stamkos correct.

oh. yeah no not at all.

big names are not needed

 

[Daves a mess]

I have zero issues with Chris or any of Rangers management, but unless there is some magic stew being brewed, somebody is being left at the bus stop, standing in front of a giant puddle of poop.

And the winged wheel is a comin fast.

What now? Stamkos?

RW is Rosie O'Donnell ugly

 

[Fitzy]

The seas are parting for Arvidsson and the Rangers just as I had planned

 

[DanielBrassard]

Who is playing on that line now?

I don’t care about PPG, I care about the fit. He wasn’t the right fit. Quite frankly there aren’t many great fits to play on Kreider and Zibanejad right wing but Kane wasn’t it either.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Kane scored at a decent clip last year. That said, a small offensive focus winger is not top of mind when it comes to rangers needs.

The urge to go peak 2007 Sather on this offseason and grab two older stars is in all of our respective DNA's

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Chytil better learn to play the wall full time and wear a motorcycle helmet.

The vast hole on RW is deeper than Jenna Jameson's...

Throat.

Two of her three kids turned 15 this year. That gonna be a very awkward conversation for those two boys.
Parents day at school must be a rough time for that family.

 

[Boris Zubov]

How I'm picturing you right now...

 

[Charlie Conway]

Maybe Sprong? 43 points on a rough DRW team, and he's a pretty good skater.

I'd love Trenin on the 4th line. He'll hit and can PK, plus he'll fight--good replacement for Goodrow.

 

[LOFIN]

"We need a real top-6 winger!"

"But not like that!"

Guys, there isn't much out there. We can either get that top-6 forward, who are all going to be small and skilled (Stamkos, Kane, Skinner, Guentzel), OR we can continue with Kakko or whoever the f*** you want. I guess Tyler Bertuzzi might be available.

Or, we can trade our best prospects and multiple picks for a guy like Tkachuk, if the Sens even want to move him.
