Confirmed with Link: K'Andre Miller - Re-signs with Rangers - 2 years @ 3.872 million

[Ginger Papa]

Hi folks,

I‘m a fan of this young man & think it’s a nice bridge for both sides. I still see a lot of potential waiting to be unlocked and look forward to seeing him continue to grow with your Rangers.

As @Machinehead mentioned, a top 5 pick in retrospect.

Cheers

Pouliot too, low-key.

They put this arbitrary "you can't pay Benoit Pouliot $4m" on it for some reason.

Analytics still had him as a vastly underpaid player for Edmonton in 14-15. He had 34 points in 58 games barely sniffing the powerplay.

When he was on the ice, his team was good. Simple as that.

Running back the same team with Hayes instead of Richards and the Bobbsey Twins playing less would have made them the best team in the league.

The funny thing about Stralman was, he wasn’t even a one year wonder with the Rangers, he was dominant here. They let him walk to Tampa, who was literally going for it every year, and he gives them 4 dominant years, and a fine 5th season.

Let him walk right over to the team that knocked us out.

Let Boyle walk for no reason too.

I'm the first one to say don't overpay for role players but none of them got that f***ing much.

What an all-time dumb off-season that was.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

In the next couple of years we lock up the core.

2023 kakko: if he hits 30 goals this year you ideally try to get him for 8 years $50 mill for a $6.25 cap hit. Hed probably prefer something like 6 years tho to cash in again.

2025 laff: if he hits 30 goals again you try to lock him up for 8 years but like kakko hed probably prefer 6 to cash in again

2025: same for kandre who will likely want $8mm by then

Can't keep Goodrow at his number...

I'm pretty sure Boyle wanted to leave.

Stralman wanted to stay though. Im 99% sure Sather didn't even return his agent's call.

Girardi/Staal f***ed up a bunch of things for us.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

“They had no space”

Yet Goodrow is still on the roster

NYR and mismanaging the cap, name a more iconic duo

On top of Boyle and Pouliot, I also forgot we also let Dorsett and Carcillo go for.... Tanner Glass to the tune of $1.5 million dollars. Let 3/6 of perhaps the best bottom 6 in hockey walk out the door and replaced it with one of the worst forwards in NHL history.

It did open the door for JT Miller, Kevin Hayes, and Jesper Fast to step into roles but it left Dominic Moore on an island practically.

 

[Hire Sather]

Doubling down on the shitty defense corps we had killed the last core.

Hell, bridge deals could have saved us. Bridge Staal and Girardi, play Yandle, keep Stralman, and win the Cup in 2015.

That's fair, picked the wrong guys to extend

 

[karljans8279]

Why the hate on Dobson? Just curious. And of course the debbies got the late round steal in Sherangovich

Defensively Dobson really regressed this year ( maybe he missed playing with Chara) and he wasn't much better on the PP

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

BARGAIN!!!

He sucked defensively with Chara too.

They freaked out getting bullied by LA in front of the net so they wanted tough boy Tanner to do...what exactly? You know how that goes.

We were never gonna be as big as LA. Nobody was. The key to beating them was moving the puck better. So I kind of got the Dan Boyle thing but not at the expense of Stralman. They should have dumped Girardi or Staal before they had no value.

Not to mention LA didn't make the following SCF. Didn't even make the playoffs. Reminds me of how we blew up the '94 team planning for Philly, who never won anything. You don't roster build for one matchup.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Seriously tho, I was talking about this with @Raspewtin the other day and I have Miller 5th if you do that draft over.

That's why he only signed for two years at that number instead of 8.

 

[Rempe73]

I’m happy with this. His numbers were a bit inflated this past season imo. Very good player but not quite great, and I was worried he was going to get paid like a young top pairing d-man instead of someone who has something to prove. Let’s see if he can drive offense better in the next two seasons. If he can, pay the man of course.

The Dobson contract was always the comparable.

 

[DanielBrassard]

What did we even spend Pouliot's $4m on? A raise for Marc Staal?

Glass, raises for Staal and Girardi and Brassard.

pisses me off, they let stralman walk to sign dan boyle because the rangers offense from the blueline was atrocious...but they never gave a guy like stralman a shot at an offensive role and never appreciated what he brought to the team. They actively got worse because AV liked either big dumb shitty defenseman or one dimensional offensive defensemen

 

[Vitto79]

That’s about right. Gonna squeeze everyone in

 

[Michal]

I wish Drury had signed Miller for 3 years until the end of Panarin's and Trouba's contracts.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Theres a good chance one or both of them won't be here in 2 years.

 

[Michal]

Panarin has full NMC until 2026. Regarding Trouba it may be very difficult to get rid of 8 million $ cap hit with M-NTC.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

 

[EdJovanovski]

Great deal

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Correct answer. Sick of this shit.

We drafted him and in retrospect, it was a bomb ass pick. It should cost us nothing.

There should be no cap penalty for signing/re-signing any drafted player or player that made their NHL debut with the team. Its ridiculous that the NHL penalizes teams when they do something right, and somehow teams like Tampa and Vegas are allowed to circumvent the cap at will and win Cups.
