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

Nashville getting both Stamkos AND Marchessault?

Does that move the needle for them? Congrats to Nashville... they won't win a Cup though.

In some regards, better than these mediocre teams are blowing their money on these aging vets and non-impact players.

Keep your powder dry. Play the waiting game. Do not blow all your cap space on Jonathan Marchassault.

I know people like to dump on the devils all the time, but they really are lining up to be a good team next year.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Honestly I’m more concerned about the bomb that gets dropped when LeBrun or Larry tweets out “Lindgren staying with the Rangers, 5x5”

 

[McRanger92]

You’d think the Trouba trade would be done by now. No feeling great about that situation.


OEL going to leafs

Missed that on OEL. Trouba is getting waived and claimed if the trade doesnt go through. Teams like SJ/Chicago/Utah would sprint to pick him up.

They are going to be the favorites in the metro I think.

Just like last year

 

[Mike in Houston]

What makes you think that?

Because we're only a few hours into FA and the Rangers have only done one thing. LOL!

 

[McRanger92]

Today would be a good time for the Rangers to trade Brennan Othmann for Shane Pinto

 

[EpicDing]

The funny thing is FA doesn't start for another hour

 

[DanielBrassard]

Just like last year

Except last year they didn’t have a goalie, now they have two. Plus Hamilton was hurt basically all season.

 

[Atax]

So we should just ignore all the news reports of signings going to happen?

Yeah I'm a little concerned with what they're doing.

 

[hardnosed]

I thought Drury said he was overhauling the defense, or at least implied that. Dumping Trouba and going with Zac and some low level FA on the 3rd pair doesn't seem like much of an overhaul.

 

[EpicDing]

I didn't say that. I said it's going to be a few weeks until the team is fleshed out so no point in judging it until then.

 

[rangers1314]

Mike Commodore says Toffoli is going to SJ

Roy and Walker seem to be available still.

 

[CasusBelli]

We won’t be in on Pinto IMO.

Not like we should add some youth to stay relevant two years from now …

 

[EpicDing]

Roy and Walker seem to be available still.

I could also see Kakko flipped for a similar defenseman

Rangers can’t do much beyond short term because they have to give Shesterkin 12.5M.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Hopefully not similar to Kakko

 

[Tob]

Kakko+ for Pinto let's go

Let’s go, indeed
