GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[TheTakedown]

even worse if we get him but its 5-6 year instead of 4 lol

5 years I can live with. Nmc for the first 3 and a modified ntc for the remainder

 

[Fugazy]

I could even live with 5.

I'd live with 5. 6 years is where I have major issues.

 

[Ghost of jas]

NBC reporting ir

Reporting what?

 

[NickyFotiu]

Looks like he's taking his time.

Building up the drama.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Wait what's happening

 

[ponytrekker]

Reporting what?

Shatty 4 years 6.9 m.

 

[glees68]

Brooks saying it isn't accurate, so it must be happening.

 

[nyr2k2]

NBC is just reporting the Weekes report.

 

[broadwayblue]

I could even live with 5.

Yup. Just really don't want it to be more than that.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Shattenkirk looking to drive up the value a bit more lol

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Why would Kevin Weekes post that if it's not true?

 

[Doctyl]

Our best is among the worst in the league. You have Larry who keeps screaming that we're signing Kovy, Rick is trash and then you're going to have Zip tweeting that the Weekes report is unconfirmed at about 7pm tonight.

 

[nyr2k2]

Why would Kevin Weekes post that if it's not true?

Maybe he had bad info? Or maybe he has the only good info. Let's see how it plays out.

Kevin Weekes played for the Rangers, works for NHL NETWORK, I would put more stock in what he is saying than Carp(who? Exactly) and Brooks

 

[Ghost of jas]

Brooks just said not accurate.

Because the Ranger front office hasn't given him the okay yet. Again, take the word of NHL player with connections before a beat writer who gets his info from a front office not ready to confirm.

 

[GregSirico]

Why would Kevin Weekes post that if it's not true?

Exactly. I can't see him ruining his rep on that.

 

[Doctyl]

But kovalchuk is?

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Why would Kevin Weekes post that if it's not true?

He did say unofficial for a reason.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

sign kovalchuk to a 3yr deal please

We'd have to trade the Devils for his rights? and i dont think theyre fond of doing that when we could've just stole Shattenkirk from them

 

[Blueshirts777]

Weekes wouldn't be making up a random number like that, maybe Shatty camp's attempt to get one last high offer from another team

 

[JT Kreider]

Why would Kevin Weekes post that if it's not true?

Them clicks. I don't believe anything unless it comes from Bob, Dreger or Friedman.

Shatter is the biggest UFA, they would have the scoop first if anything.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

putting my faith in weekes right now

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Brooks just said not accurate.

It's a good sign Weekes said that. Weekes is in the know and anyone asking these other guys to confirm, Shatty's camp, Brooks, etc is of course going to get a not true response. They aren't allowed to say **** for 45 mins. Of course Shatternkirk's mind is made up. He knows his offers and surely will sign right away.


If they get him at 4 years that is really unbelievable. Can't believe how much Shatty wants to play here to leave so much on the table.

On another note. Any rumors on Glass? I'm just praying he's not re-signed and additionally praying we don't sign the annual goon that Sather was always doing year to year before Glass.

 

[ponytrekker]

Kevin Weeks = never wrong
Larry Brooks = never right.
