GDT: Free agent frenzy July 1

[Fitzy]

Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy that we have Howden, Hajek, and Lundqvist. I just think it's a good deal for him. Mac probably won't be a top pairing defender by the time we're competitive again.

Grabner tweets he’s going to Phx

 

[broadwayblue]

6.75 *.08 = 7.29

Lets not over sell this

Pretty sure NYS + NYC tax is more than that. Otherwise I'm getting screwed.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

 

[Gardner McKay]

They aren't the same.

Well, these are the repercussions of living in a high tax state.

Seems fair to me.

 

[darko]

I’m more concerned with the term. Lotta miles on McD. And injuries. I think the cap hit is suitable though.

Both are no-go for me.

 

[Polar Bear]

Loving that we are committed to the rebuild and not handing out stupid contracts galore.

 

[Machinehead]

With the weather we've been having, he probably got it mixed up with New York.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Good luck Nick.

 

[Tawnos]

The full-NTC probably lowered the contract AAV too.

It’s a bizarre structure too. He makes $8.4m every other year and something like $5.5m in the off years and then the last is $4.2m.

 

[rangers1314]

Know Holden was/is a whipping boy here...but thats a fair contract.

 

[EpicDing]

NMC or NTC?

Horrible if NMC.

I've seen both reported now, guess we'll wait on CapFriendly confirmation. Terrible either way.

 

[GAGLine]

Good for Grabs. Hope he does well out there.

1.08.

 

[TheTakedown]

Jesus christ glad we dodged that bullet.

Me and rangerboy called this almost 1 year ago.... We kept saying "what happens when mcdonagh needs a 7 x 7 deal?" (You can atrribute the difference to state tax

 

[Rangers in 7]

Sorry I freaked out. @Gardner McKay and I have cleared it up.

Tavares to the leafs is close to being done from what I’ve heard

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Tampas no income tax advantage hurts the league

Not the NHL's problem. NYs problem for having absurd tax rates, call your representative.

 

[Ail]

Glad the Rangers aren't touching any of these guys for once, so refreshing. Excited to see what garbage they take on though to get some good assets back.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Loving that we are committed to the rebuild and not handing out stupid contracts galore.

Yeah everyone who said that they were going to go nuts during UFA is awfully quiet today.

I feel a trade in my bones though.

[LaffyTaffy]

Grabner 3x3.35 in ARIZONA according to Friedman

 

[TheTakedown]

I was told McDonagh was getting 40 billion a year.

You want $7M tied up in a 2nd pairing defenseman?

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Mrazek to Carolina for cheap

 

[EpicDing]

Solid deal for Grabs even if he doesn't score near 30.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Anybody still thinking the Rangers aren’t tanking? I’m still waiting for the screenshot of Kovalchuk signing with the Rangers. This rebuild isn’t going to be quick.

 

[DanielBrassard]

So glad we didn't sign him.
