GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[Trxjw]

I feel like the Rangers have enough depth options on the left-side, so not sure I get the Claesson deal. But whatever, I guess.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Still grumpy we traded your beloved bozo huh?

Grumpy that I have to read stupidity on HF.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Should be sub $1MM. Most games he ever played in a season is 64 and that was last year

In Norway we pay like 24-35% taxes of income, + tax on tobacco, fuel, food, almost everything including estates so easy to say don`t visit Norway on vacation - it`s the most expensive country in the world to both live and visit. I also had to pay fortune tax.

Anyway back to topic any news concerning us Rangers this exciting evening and the summer window is wide open?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Another left handed D huh?

Dominoes!!!

Karlsson isn't a free agent so having Freddy won't really do too much. If he goes somewhere I hope it is the rangers, second favourite team will become my first.

 

[NikC]

and i think if you look at toronto that gives you the model for our rebuild plan...struggle for a couple years to build your core thru the draft. then AFTER you have a team in place you look to add the big $$ free agent to put you over the top

I think you have to actually pick forwards for the building through the core part to work.
id be more content today if the draft wasn't such a product of the rangers proprietary secret knowledge..

 

[LaffyTaffy]

700k for Claesson, makes me happy

 

[TheTakedown]

Lmao do we even need a thread for a classeon signing? Who the f*** is this guy anyway?

You are a master of karate and friendship to everyone...

Rumors have the Rangers in on Karlsson via trade. I don't buy them, but crazier things have and will happen.

Because Gorton is trying to go for a lineup of 18 left handed defensemen.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Another left handed D huh?

Better than Rob O’Gara

 

[Fitzy]

He's an NHL player, so yeah I think he deserves a thread.

 

[rangers1314]

1/700K for Claesson

 

[Fitzy]

Better than Rob O’Gara

Where is the 'love' button?

good. I was starting to think today would be a total waste. good to see they're sticking to the plan of
rebuilding by drafting lefthanded defenseman... excellent!

 

[ZiGOODejad]

wtf are they doing with all of these left handed defensemen....

 

[Fitzy]

700k for a #7-#8 veteran to ride the bench.

He's very likely better than O'Gara and Kampfer. Hard not to be.

 

[Sarge13]

Claesson is Karlssons best friend on Ottawa?

Uh oh....

 

[EpicDing]

How can anyone complain about a 1 year 700k depth signing of a 25 year old dman?

 

[NYR Viper]

The Rangers were going to have an issue finding a spot for everyone to play before signing another defenseman...

Skjei
Smith
Staal
Shattenkirk
ADA
Pionk
Gilmour
O’Gara
Bigras
Day
Pedrie
Hajek
Lindgren
Claesson
Kampfer

That’s 15 defensemen for, what I would imagine, between the AHL and NHL are about 13-14 real playing spots.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Claesson is Karlssons best friend on Ottawa?

Uh oh....

This can't be understated and fly under the radar...

Don’t encourage them.

 

[Trxjw]

Gorton's end of day presser is going to be hilarious. "Yeah, we signed Claesson. Good veteran presence to compete for a spot in camp. Any questions? Okay, thanks guys. *The call has now ended*"

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Claesson singing confirms Karlsson trade IMHO IMO.
