GDT: July 1st - Free Agent Extravaganza

[BlueshirtBlitz]

I would gladly give a guy that will be as effective for 2-3 times longer, money over an old ass fading player that has been more than likely carried by the overall talent base in SJ than he has had any real part in those players success.

Boyle will be a disappointment here even at the (today's) paltry amount of 4.5

If you would look at the statistics instead of just being angry at the signing, you'd find out this is false.

COL, MIN, TB, VAN still in on Jarome Iginla.

Looks like no Iginla.

I didn't see it happening anyway. Don't have the cap (even if it was bonus-heavy).

 

[Jim Morrison]

Heh. Trading Marc for Eric would be the funniest thing ever.

Wouldn't be a good trade though.

 

[silverfish]

What's interesting is you don't hear the Rangers name being floated around as "in" on any FAs. We're negotiating with Moore, and we're negotiating with Carcillo. That's all I've heard.

I want to hear we're in on Skille and D. Moore.

Looks like we really are letting kids fill out the roster.

 

[pld459666]

But is the personnel that much better? MSL, Stepan, Kreider, McDonagh, and then theres Nash. People always seem to sell our own players short and yet we just came out of the SCF

Pavelski, Couture, Thornton and Marleau are hands down MUCH BETTER than what we are sporting.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
CGY signs Jonas Hiller to two-year deal with AAV of $4.5M.

Not bad for the Flames.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Vanek, Moulson, Moore, Stralman, Boyle, Mitchell, Niskanen, Iginla, Ott, Legwand, Alfreddsson, Carter, Volchenkov, Richards, Gleason, Mitchell

 

[NYR Viper]

I am hopeful Sather has a couple of trades to help fill out the lower lines. Names have been dropped all over the place. Connolly. Morin. etc.


Still no info on Brad Richards

 

[FJB]

How the **** did Orpik get that deal?

His agent must have showed video from that infamous (at least it was to me) post-season shift against the Rangers in 2008.

eh, i take it as an expression of confidence in their defensive depth throughout the system.

clearly the organization thought it had enough talent to replace stralman within a few years , with someone likely still on their ELC or at worst their first RFA contract.

 

[Miamipuck]

Pavelski, Couture, Thornton and Marleau are hands down MUCH BETTER than what we are sporting.

What about their track record in the playoffs?

“@NYP_Brooksie: Boyle agent George Bazos tells Post: "We told teams that if Rangers made offer, decision wasn't going to be about money."â€

Great to hear.

I hope we're at least inquiring about Carter and a guy like Brian Gibbons. Both would be nice guys for the 4th line who could likely come cheap and even slot up to the 3rd if necessary.

SJ's d was vlasic and braun. not a whole lot.

Great to hear.

He wants a shot at the Cup. No doubt about it.

Okay man, be angry. I think everyone is done hearing about your whining. No one is jumping for joy over Dan Boyle but it isnt the worst move. He is a ranger and thats it. Support him or be a negative nancy and support another team.

“@NYP_Brooksie: Boyle agent George Bazos tells Post: "We told teams that if Rangers made offer, decision wasn't going to be about money."â€

It would be much nicer to hear if he was Stralman's age.

 

[pld459666]

If you would look at the statistics instead of just being angry at the signing, you'd find out this is false.

What's false? that Stralman is going to be more effective over the next 4-6 years?

Or that the forwards in SJ carried Boyle thsi past season to a whopping 30+ points?

You mean that same group who couldn't win 1 game to finish off the Kings

Vanek signs a 3-year deal with MIN, as per Luc Gelinas. #Wild #RDS

Minnesota signs another 30 goal scorer

 

[Zuccarello Awesome*]

I said the same thing on the main board.

Maybe they showed the Caps that video and told them it was from last season.

It was against Detroit in the SCF though, not the Rangers if I remember correctly.

Yup, here:

Then Y here?

With Nash's invisibility cloak and the team getting weaker today, I don't see a return trip ATM.
