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

[Boris Zubov]

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.

She home-schools her kids. Every day she dresses up like the Hot for Teacher video.

 

[DanielBrassard]

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.

Sprong is not someone you want playing on the top line. Hes more of a depth scorer who’s good at picking apart softer competition.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

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.

Thought a healthy kane would be. Doesn’t matter now, another failed player coming up with them.

Lmao exactly, another failed project.

"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.

If Lavi and staff are gonna run it back again with the dynamic duo, put Kakko with them and limit their minutes.

 

[blinknyr182]

Is Chytil on Mika/Kreider rw a realistic/smart option and signing a 3c ?

 

[AirGut]

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

idk if this team ever makes it past the ECF or even sniffs it again without former proven all-stars and HOF type players with experience.

People are so traumatized by the early 00's Rangers that they fail to see signing big names can work when you actually have a deep competitive team, not when you're supposed to be tanking. Rangers getting a Kane or a Stamkos shores up the entire top-6 and bolsters depth x10.

No because the FA Centers are horrible

sprong no good - lavi hated him on Wash.

 

[Tob]

not gonna be able to move trouba, reconcile, re-sign lindgren, sign a rw, jones replaces gus, kakko retained until deadline. sorry, off season over.

brother in christ watch the team play.

brother in christ watch the team play.

I'm impatient. I've been waiting for Drury to do something spicy for years now and in the blink of an eye I might be pushing 30 and this team is in another rebuild. I'm nervous as f*** right now brother

I think this might actually be true lmao. With a depth forward signed to compete with Othmann/Berard for the 3rd line wing spot.

I think this team is thinner than you might believe.

 

[LOFIN]

If you are trying to find the absolutely best fit, you are probably going to be disappointed in free agency. You need to find value. We'll see what Kane gets, but like I said, 1 year deal? That's absolutely something we should've looked at.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I think this team is thinner than you might believe.

That’s true, in part because our best players don’t match up with other contenders best players. And there’s really no way to fix that.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

There is no good option with those two. Nothing works. And they both cry if they get separated. It’s another year of a useless 2nd line with those two.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Is Chytil on Mika/Kreider rw a realistic/smart option and signing a 3c ?

Definitely not smart . If chytil is breathing and showing a normal pupillary reflex he should be playing center over Zibanejad. Get the 3C and move Mika to wing

 

[GAGLine]

On a one-year deal, Kane is likely getting performance bonuses that may roll over into next year. That wouldn't be good for us.

[mas0764]

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.

To be honest they don’t need the bandaids they can get in this year’s free agency anyway.

They should be scouring for good buy low deals on high upside young players like Zegras and Hayton. And they should be looking for a high end first pair defender once Trouba is punted.

 

[will1066]

They should wait till the trade deadline if they're in position by then. It's hard to run it back even to the ECF. And the stone cold truth is this team gimmicked their way to deep runs in 2022 and 2024.

Pushing 30

Sister you’re pushing for players that not even the literal 65 year olds that post here would push for

 

[mas0764]

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

What do you expect? We are locked into a ton of big contracts with more on the horizon and a few glaring “not good enough,” positions. Moving out Trouba is mandatory with a capital M. So was ditching Goodrow. So is not giving Shesterkin a contract that has double digit millions per year.

We are thin because we tried to shortcut the rebuild and therefore had to overpay to import necessary pieces to “win now” and when that still left us short we had to rent over and over which left us short on assets.

Some of us advised against this foolishness and now here we are.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Trouba is f***ing insane. Butthurt because we want to move on from him? He's been awful! Why would we want to keep him?

"Why don't they want me?"
