GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[NYR Viper]

It was rumored he might get $3million.

Regardless of his decline, Eric Staal got $3.5 million today.

That is too much money for Martin

He may be pricing himself out of a lot of teams

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Am I the only one disappointed about losing Stalberg?

Not if they can sign Riley Nash.

 

[aufheben]

Am I the only one disappointed about losing Stalberg?

No I liked him.

 

[Russian Collusion]

The one name I haven't heard is Shipachyev. Apparently he is a two-way player and had chemistry with Buch. That would be a smart signing.

 

[NYR Viper]

I think it's a lot easier to sign cheaper 4th line wingers than a 4th line center. Use the $1.5m that Stalberg got on a good center. Fill the winger spots with cheaper alternatives

 

[Trxjw]

If teams blow their wad on other players, maybe the market for Martin shrinks and his price tag drops.

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

Why people are upset at the Rangers not being active I'll never know.

I don't know what fans expected. It's not like the lack of cap space is a shock. The Rangers made a good under the radar signing (Surprised nobody got tipped off on Clendening before he signed...curious)

I saw on twitter this morning the Rangers were gong to sign Smith-Pelley, does that have any legs?

I don't want Martin for what he is going to sign for. The Rangers are going to have to sit back and wait for OTHER teams to assess where they are in a few weeks. Maybe Nash becomes more attractive.

If Gorton doesn't do anything, that's fine. But after saying what they said after the season, Gorton and AV need to do a bit of damage control in the next few days. Not just with the fans but the players as well. But it's early, it's July 1st. Hopefully by training camp these long tedious days are distant memory.

I know Chimera is older but that should kind of set the precident for his contract.

 

[Off Sides]

Hamhuis for 2 years, $3.75M per is a really good contract

I expected more term and money for him, that seems like a good deal to me too.

 

[GraveyTrain9]

Why people are upset at the Rangers not being active I'll never know.

Most of these people also get upset when they hand out terrible contracts every July 1st. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

 

[NYR Viper]

Same with Matthias who had 12 goals last year and plays a big, physical game.

Question I haven't been too involved lately, is buchnevich coming over this year?

 

[Russian Collusion]

Already here, brah.

 

[Irishguy42]

Question I haven't been too involved lately, is buchnevich coming over this year?

Yes. He signed his ELC, and was part of development camp this week.

He will be in training camp and then it'll go from there.

 

[FLYLine27*]

I'd be fine with Martin at 2M. AND assuming Glass GTFOff our team.

That being said, whoever signs him will probably have to pay 2.5-2.75M.

 

[GraveyTrain9]

Question I haven't been too involved lately, is buchnevich coming over this year?

He's already in NA and he's been at the NYR prospect development camp

 

[Svenhart2008]

He's already here

 

[rangers1314]

Question I haven't been too involved lately, is buchnevich coming over this year?

yes. he's already here.

I mean, sure. Bergevin also said he wasn't planning on trading Subban. What's true one moment isn't always true the next.

michael grabner signs with @NYRangers #NHLat

As rumored

 

[Levitate]

Martin isn't worth $2 mill...

He's a $1 mill 4th line player who has gotten a big rep because of his hits, but he's fairly poor in just about all other areas

 

[Tawnos]

As rumored

Time for terms!

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

As rumored

Idea makes sense for sure. Some speed needs to be replaced. We'll see what the terms are...

 

[Gardner McKay]

Just because players signed else where doesn't meant we didn't attempt to sign them. Not every one wants to play here in NY.

 

[Ail]

Posturing. Don't cave, Gordo!
