Speculation: Free Agent Frenzy Part V: Gorton is on McLeod Nine.

Any examples?

I assume I'll be waiting a long time for this.

Nope. I have better things to do than go through your post history.

No offense but pot meet kettle.

No kidding.

Plenty of examples but yeah I'm not going through them either.

Well ...... Buch and Shesty threads over last couple years.

I thinks skjei is a really hard player to get a grasp on...I think he's going to benefit the most from a coaching staff...the overly complicated defensive scheme av used didn't help skjei or any defenseman whatsoever. I think if he keeps it a bit simpler he will be a lot better. I'd lock up skjei to 6x5m or thereabouts without too much consideration...it's when the term or dollars go beyond that that I get a little worried. He's good tho. Modern day defenseman. Big fast shows flashes of brilliance but very inconsistent and very raw still..amazingly.

He just waits for people to reply to him so he can start crying wolf how poster are like this to him.....its annoying.

The only reasons he's making the claim is that since the change over in servers we cant go that far back in post history.

I'd give Skjei 7 years to keep the cap hit as low as possible. 7 years @ $4.85m

As years go up his aav goes up not down. You're buying out more ufa years.

Sometimes that depends, some players will want the extra total contract money as its guaranteed (sans escrow, a work stoppage, roll back), and will actually take a little less than they may have been able to receive later on just to have the security. It give some security against them maybe not getting that next contract or a lesser one should they become injured or decline super early.

Back it up. Or is this something else you should retract?

But this post is another example of what I mean. You care more about discussing other posters than contributing anything to the discussion of the Rangers.

Why do you post so much about me? Is there a reason for this? Its bizarre.

 

[darko]

Obviously, you are. You must not understand how the feature works.

1. I clearly don't.

2. And I clearly wont.

Does he post a lot about you? Back it up. Or maybe it's something you'll need to retract.

I'd be all over that. That's a bargain.

Most of those are legit replies.

So now you've moved the goalposts.

I've had enough of this. Waste of my time.

Publicly discussing ignore lists is not allowed, and this conversation is getting a little too personal, again. Becoming a problem all over the board lately. Take your beefs to PM, but be mindful that flaming rules also apply there should the conversation be reported.

Dw I'm done.

Skjei is better offensively than Slavin, but Slavin is a much, much better defender than him.

I do understand the arguments for briding him, but I’m in the camp that would rather have him locked up as a cheaper % of the cap moving forward. I’m thinking down the line that a long-term deal with Brady can offer some more flexibility with future RFAs. I’d hope we do a similar deal with Buch next season.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Who leads the rangers in points next year and how many? I say zibanejad with 61 pts.

Erik Karlsson with 72

I'm not sure that's true. You are buying more UFA years but the player is getting a ton of guaranteed $$. If the player gets injured, he has a guaranteed contract.

 

[Off Sides]

I too am in the camp that would like to see longer term deals for Skjei and Hayes.

Of course that depends on their cap hits, but I don't think either player really declines over the next several years. They may improve, they may not, but I would still rather see the Rangers have what they are right now for several years, or trade them for a fair package at some future point rather than see the Rangers use that cap space next off-season to sign a player who is far more likely to decline during his next contract. It's a little different if I thought they were going to use any large chunks of cap space on UFAs who were going to be really good throughout their next deals, but I just don't think that realistically happens very often concerning any long term, expensive UFA signing who change teams in that process regardless of which team makes the signing.

Plus should that UFA really want to play for the Rangers, the cap space remaining sort of is what is it, having more may not lead to the Rangers getting the best deal on that contract. If the player is more concerned about getting the largest deal possible, is that something that should be super important for the Rangers to offer?

Clauses would be an interesting thing, I'm not sure, if the players want to remain with the Rangers past when those clauses would kick in, if they turn out to be super restrictive it leads to some questions. Seems to me it's more likely even if they were playing pretty well the team is going to have just a extra bit of motivation to move them should there be a no movement clause pending.

Spooner, I am pretty undecided what I'd like to see the Rangers sign him to.

I do believe that Skjei closes that defensive gap significantly under Quinn.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Hope that JG doesn’t hand out a NMC to Hayes, limited NTC better (10 team exclusion).

As for remaining UFAs, wouldnt hurt to bring in Jurco, Shore, and Postsma for a look....
