GDT: Free Agent Frenzy Part II - Awful deals galore! (Clowe to NJ)

[hagsfan924]

I saw someone tweeted into TSN that the Rangers should go after Viktor Stalberg. We could definitely use the LW and he could potentially be our second line LW.
Thoughts?

Also, what about a trade of Staal for Bobby Ryan and a prospect or two? Close on salaries and Rangers get scoring. Anaheim has their "Del Zotto" in Fowler, but Staal would help them. Just throwing around a scenario.

Anyone else ecstatic that rangers havnt been mentioned much cause I am

Yeah I think it's good. Let the new coach get acclimated to what he has, assess what we have in the system, and then retool through some trades. Make a FA splash (if we must) next year after BR is cut.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Lol all of these deals are absolutely awful

 

[Vitto79]

Were Asham and Powe bought out? I just saw them both up on the FA page as FA's.

no im sure they come to camp unless traded for a teams trash player on a two way deal

Katie Strang ‏@KatieStrangESPN 1h #NYR As @NYDNRangers noted, expect deal for RFA Dman Ryan McDonagh soon. Doesn't sound like deals for Stepan, Hagelin are imminent, though

i'm looking to hear the right things...

They were waived. No one claimed them. They are still Rangers. They are not going to be bought out.

 

[Vickers8]

NJD may have just signed one of the worst contracts in the history of the NHL.

wow...just...awful.

Surprised at Lou

 

[NYR Viper]

That's more than I thought MacArthur would get.

 

[Frolic and DeTorts]

NHL network said McCarthur to Ottawa and Weiss to DET.

Thanks. I believed you just didn't wanna read back

That's the nature of a free agency though. And when the deals are all awful, doesn't that kinda become the new normal and make them all "decent" deals? I hear ya though...some rough deals out there.

Dave Molinari ‏@MolinariPG 5m
Penguins have about 30 cents worth of cap space remaining and several RFAs to sign. Hard to imagine trade isn't coming at some point.

Who's moving?

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

So Clowe, coming off of a season where he had almost as many concussions as goals, gets a bigger contract than Lecavalier? That's comically bad. LOL New Jersey.

Set up a Free Agency chat if anyones interested.

Yeah no problem. Another banned source was saying that the deal was done and terms would be announced soon, too.

 

[GAGLine]

Who's moving?

Jokinen? Maybe Orpik?

 

[Kershaw]

MacArthur >>>>> Clowe

I wouldn't touch any of these contacts with someone else 's money lol

 

[NYR2007]

I can't see clarkson getting that much more money then clowe

 

[NYR Viper]

Edmonton Oilers ‏@EdmontonOilers 1m
#Oilers have agreed to terms with forward Jesse Joensuu on a two-year deal.

Minor signing

NJD may have just signed one of the worst contracts in the history of the NHL.

wow...just...awful.

Some of them apparently think this could be a steal for them!

 

[Hire Sather]

It'll work out for the Devils.. they get almost as much luck as Pittsburgh.

 

[NYR Viper]

I can't see clarkson getting that much more money then clowe

I can. Or else NJ would have re-signed him.
