GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[Levitate]

Gerbe for $600k is smart. He might be done but for $600k you can take that chance

 

[Captain Lindy]

There seems to be a pattern forming...

Yes, exactly. There maybe should be a pool thread to guess AV's firing date.

 

[TheDirtyH]

gerbe sucks, why waste the contract?

 

[Russian Collusion]

Anybody on buchnevichs potential? Just wanna know what to look forward to

This....

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Victor "you know" Hedman

 

[darko]

Gerbe and Grabner. Awesome signings so far. Glad we are staying away from overpriced garbage.

Yup.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Think we're done today. Great day fixing the PK and Beuke

 

[Lundy HOF]

Similar players but Grabner will really help the PK.

Maybe Nash wont have to spend 5 mins a night killing PKs now...

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

Was the Gerbe signing out of nowhere or was this ever a rumor? A real under the radar but good signing.

 

[theFiGS]

Potential top six, maybe top line player, but I wouldn't expect a big point total out of him next season as he's going to be adjusting to a new league and new country and all of that stuff.

That's what I figured and you never know about the moving to a new country stuff, it's not like the old days where guys never been here before. Now they play in all these tournaments he's been here before, yeah he needs to get used to the rink playing here every night but I'm sure he'll be fine

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

gerbe sucks, why waste the contract?

He doesn't suck. He's going to be paid league minimum. He is a good penalty killer. He is fast.

Very good bottom line signing.

 

[Raspewtin]

I forgot Gerbe existed lol

 

[Captain Lindy]

Ha ha!! Nash makes too much money to be a pk'er/role player. Thanks a lot, Mike Babcock.

 

[failure]

gerbe sucks, why waste the contract?

I wouldn't exactly say he is Gerbage.

 

[aufheben]

If all they do is address the PK today I'm cool with that.

I forgot Gerbe existed lol

I did then they mentioned him in an episode of SVU, saying he had like a million penalty minutes or something.

Dun dun.

 

[TheGuarantee]

Good depth moves, keep it up with that and ship out one of Staal/Girardi, preferably Girardi.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

We added good speed to our bottom 6. I can dig it.

 

[Fitzy]

Undecided on Grabner, but that is a can't refuse Gerbe offer.

You guys are *****ing about a speedy PKer who is likely to replace Glass in the lineup? Lol. Alternative is overpaying a guy like Matt Martin, You cant win with some fans, they just want to ***** no matter what.

 

[Captain Lindy]

The TSN tracker is slow. The last update they have is Hamhuis to Dallas.

 

[Tawnos]

The Rangers PK last season had three major issues, in this order:

1) Speed at forward
2) Failure of the coaches to change things up
3) Defensive positioning

They addressed problem #1 today. Potentially problem #2 as well.

 

[Irishguy42]

Grabner for the fourth line and PK will be great. Gerbe for the fourth line/PK/13F will be great.

Clendening will be good.

So far, Gorton is doing great today.

Still have to deal with the Wonder Twins, but one day at a time.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Riley Nash now please! And then trade Girardi/sign,Demers.

Call it an off-season with the exception of signing Vesey in August .

You could say 2 and 3 as well by hiring Beuk

But, wait, how can we get rid of Glass when no other team will take him on waivers. He's with us until the end of time or he retires or AV gets fired.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Considering how much speed is valued in todays game this is a very good deal for Grabner imo.

I thought he would get overpaid. Hagelin 2.0
