GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[SnowblindNYR]

Why do you call him Wahlboon?? Is it because you think he’ll be a boon for the Isles org??

I thought it was a typo at first but I’ve seen you call him that like three times so now I need to understand the origins of this nickname

For the same reason he calls Miller "bozo". He thinks he's witty.

I haven't cared about the Islanders in a long time. They just haven't been relevant. Their fans have always been like the jealous little brother. They rooted against us in every playoff series, celebrated when the Kings beat us, orgasmed at the first sign of the King "losing" it, railed against us for spending on free agents and even about silly things like having celebrities at MSG.

I'm not throwing a parade that they lost JT, but I don't feel bad for them either.

They draft a guy who is a step below a generational player and can barely even make the playoffs with him (what, twice?). I love watching them implode.

Rangers realize that the cap space doesn’t roll over for next season right

I mean, it does...

If we don't commit to contracts we have more space

 

[Brother Mouzone]

HAHAHAHAH

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I keep reading on Twitter that this is supposed to be a good day for Rangers fans. I don't feel good about the way this went down.

At all.

Tavares and Leafs fans deserve each other.

**** those guys.

With all the garbage they spewed on draft day, I’m delighted with their level 5 meltdown.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Boston signing John Moore is weird. Don't they have Chara, Miller and Krug down the left already? Wonder if they have a deal in the works to trade someone for a forward.

Miller is a RD, but they do have Gryzleck ready for a bigger role and Zboril in the wings.

I have no sympathy for the Piles or their obnoxious fans.

Glad JT skunked them on his way out.

 

[NYR2007]

How many guys are looking to sign 1 year deals?

Everyone knows you over pay in free agency . Rangers have the most cap space in the league . No reason to not sign at least one 3rd line or 4th line veteran / Tuff guy to fill out the roster . Give a two year contract

 

[BBKers]

ROR can be traded before midnight to defer the bonus
At least 3 teams looking for centers
EK65 still a volatile situation
Feeding frenzy and AAV prices will swoon shortly for UFAs
Well played GMJG
It aint over

 

[LaffyTaffy]

i wonder what @BBKers is hearing right now, is JT to Tor part of JG's plan

This is what youre hearing?

 

[NYR2007]

Lol this is gonna be a long rebuild . Don’t kid yourself guys

Ah, good catch. Idk why I always think Miller is a lefty.

We know.

Biggest group of clowns on the planet. I always thought it was hilarious how cocky that fan base got after their single playoff win.

How are Isles fans surprised about this? If he was going to reup with them he wouldn’t have been an FA heading to this week let alone heading to this morning. Other teams trade pending UFAs who won’t sign for this exact reason.

I would be fine with signing not a single player today.

It does when you don’t give out stupid ****ing contracts.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

do you consider 2-3 more years long?

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Obviously misery loves company, and the Isles getting worse and their fans suffering makes me feel a little bit better. But honestly the Leafs fan base is top 4 in terms of annoying and that was prior to JT going there. I feel like TML won the JT sweepstakes but all of HF lost having to listen to them for years to come.

Because they are a delusional fan base that thought bringing in Lou Lams would somehow keep Tavares. That Lou Lams thread was GOLDEN on the main boards.

Biggest? More like smallest..because the Islanders have one of the smallest fanbases in the NHL.

I don't.

Meh, who cares? It’s at least a passionate fan base that supports their team. Unlike the Islanders fan base.

Tavares probably didn’t want to play in front of half-filled stadiums anymore. I’m sure the exploding bathroom memories didn’t help.

 

[Trxjw]

Best part about the last two weeks for me has been watching Gorton shit all over the dreams of people who thought the rebuild was a lie and we were going to be chasing big names like we always do.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I don't.

Me neither

Then again, Hank didn't grow up in Toronto or have TML sheets on his bed when he was a kid.

Lundqvist had Gucci sheets as a kid
