GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[bobbop]

If someone offer sheets Sergachev or Cirelli, I’d be inclined to jump in with a second offer sheet for the other one. Like both players.

 

[rangers1314]

True. It was likely togothat route. But this has apparently been formally agreed upon in a silent type of truce. Both owners and players want money. No revenue - nothing to split. Not rocket science. But this is why the date was moved ahead to January 1st. And it will likely move further ahead if this thing does bot subside. My wife, btw seems to have gotten this dastardly thing. We will see her results tomorrow. She is not well at all. I had something for a few weeks along with her, but am better now, but she is getting steadily worse. Ambulance was here today. 2020 is not a good year

jesus that’s terrible man, I’m sorry. I’m sure she will be fine.

I’ve known a few people who have had it. No ones experience seems to be the same.

Hope everything works out well for your wife BBKers

I hear you, but it just doesn't seem to be in NYRs dna.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I think the NHL can get away with partially filling arenas but if they want the arenas to be full they may as well just cancel the season now

 

[eco's bones]

Because I love you all I did a very quick and lazy (25% efficiency) excel data sort from CapFriendly of players I believe the Rangers could find useful for the right price. This list is fluid and will change within minutes of me posting but feel free to reference. I'm still 110% on the Nieto train. You know how I feel about him. Him, Fast back, and maybe Kulikov/Mueller as LHD depth and I would be satisfied.

3. Taylor Hall

15. Tyler Toffoli

17. Dmitry Kulikov

18. Michael Frolík

20. Craig Smith

29. Michael Grabner

33. Conor Sheary

34. Andreas Athanasiou

35. Erik Haula

38. Derek Forbort

39. Matt Martin

5. Mikael Granlund

55. Matt Nieto

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Most of these guys I wouldn't bother with. The guys worth some consideration Kulikov, Grabner, Nieto, Fast (but I think he's moving on), Clifford and Boyle.

Mueller's been a spare part's D for two bad teams. Some of that list is way too old. The one old guy I would consider is Chara but there's no way. Athanasiou has always been a Rangers killer and really fast but he's not that good--not as good as Blake Comeau anyway. Hall we can't afford.

 

[BBKers]

Sorry to hear that. Hope she recovers quickly. It got me pretty bad but fortunately I didn't need a hospital visit. Took me a good month to recover though...really wiped me out.

Thanks. My brother and his Ex Wife both had it in March & April (in Sweden). He was home from work for 11 weeks and he is in great shape for a 55 year old.

jesus that’s terrible man, I’m sorry. I’m sure she will be fine. I’ve known a few people who have had it. No ones experience seems to be the same.

Thanks. She is still quite young at 39 and strong like a lioness, but this is something very nasty. We are in Poland.

Hope everything works out well for your wife BBKers

Thanks Man. Appreciated

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

If I am reading the rules right, this is an impossibility. Vegas has no arbitration cases so they won’t be able to participate in the second buyout window. They signed their only arb eligible player yesterday.

The need about 8 mil more in space for AP. They’re gonna have to pay someone big to eat Fluerys contract plus maybe even JAM if some is retained

I saw an article on TSN about how much offense happens when a player is on the ice vs. how much they play D and it supported what people have said about AA either scoring goals or doing nothing else.

That's some alarming data and I'm big on following facts. We only see him on his best behavior when he's playing the Rangers. This team does not need a competent version of Rico Fata.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

If someone offer sheets Sergachev or Cirelli, I’d be inclined to jump in with a second offer sheet for the other one. Like both players.

The problem with Cirelli and trading for him is it's a wash for Tampa. They take back ADA and Buch + it won't help them cap wise. The Rangers would have to take back Johnson which doesn't help them cap wise.

 

[Edge]

@Edge - quick question. To your knowledge, do you know if we were in on any of the other FA’s who signed elsewhere yesterday? Thanks as always

I think they made inquiries with a few like Jankowski and the like. But I don’t know if they were ever heavy players.

 

[Avery16]

 

[rangers1314]

Barrie to Oilers. 1/4

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Vegas made the mistake of not buying Fluery out when they had the chance. When it became obvious no one was taking him off their hands except for massive over payment they should have just pulled the trigger

Now they'll have to move someone like Schmidt who's good

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Rangers finally get a stud first overall pick and of course the season is gonna be destroyed by some force of nature

they could just have fans and deal with the outbreaks like the NFL I guess. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was the plan

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I am very worried now. I just heard from a great source that the league has clearly indicated it will not restart if there are no fans in the stands. NHLPA seems to agree with this as well. This is not good news. At all. But logical

Not surprising at all from the league, I won’t lie it’s been in the back of my mind. But that’s not good. Sucks to hear that.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

See Greenway re-signed w/ the Wild

2.1 million for 2 years

 

[Fitzy]

So do socially distanced seating. Easy

 

[apoptygma]

The problem with Cirelli and trading for him is it's a wash for Tampa. They take back ADA and Buch + it won't help them cap wise. The Rangers would have to take back Johnson which doesn't help them cap wise.

So in the end Segachev and Cirelli might risk it getting a 1 year 1 mill offer and the message sign it or play in Europe next season? TBL can not sign them for anything of what they deserve to stay under the cap but TBL does not recieve any trade offer they can accept.

As I see it the only way we can make a trade with TBL without taking much cap back is to only offer up players on ELC or picks? Like Kravtsov, Howden and a 1. for Cirelli.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

True. It was likely to go that route. But this has apparently been formally agreed upon in a silent type of truce. Both owners and players want money. No revenue - nothing to split.

Good luck to you both, man!

 

[Vitto79]

TJ at 3 million would look a lot better if Tampa retains

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully she makes a full recovery ASAP.

 

[bobbop]

This opens up some interesting possibilities. I like Schmidt a lot as a possible trade candidate. They won’t be able to demand a lot because he has significant contract term left. I can live with Martinez especially since he is on an expiring contract and he could always be flipped at the trade deadline. Def8nitely worth watching.

My guess is Tampa would ask for an unprotected first, Lundkvist, and Kravstov, and maybe another pick like a 2nd.

Do I do it? Of course not. Does Gorton do it? Nope.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Vancouver have really crapped the bed. Lost Tanev & Stecher because they thought they were getting Ekman-Larsson, now they lost their backup plan in Barrie. Funniest part is they all of those players to division rivals. Now they're going to try to sign Pietrangelo but looks like he's going to yet another division rival lmao. Even if they do sign him then they probably can't afford one of Hughes/Pettersson. Brutal
