They will regret this

LETS GOOOO WHEW

 

[TKB21]

Gross

 

[Rangers ftw]

Oh no. 6,5 is good, 7 years is awful.

 

[Luger]

Will regret it in 3 years.

 

[Fitzy]

Ugh.

It's going to take some real creativity to make DeAngelo work now.

File me under "Extremely unenthusiastic"

That said, for Chris Kreider, hopefully he doesn't live long enough to see himself become the villain. He left around 4-5 million on the table and that means something.

 

[Gluten Free Breadman]

bad.

 

[Bob Richards]

Love Kreider to death but 7 years is yuck

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Not good.

 

[CasusBelli]

Thank god. Please be ok Igor!

 

[DaBadGuy7]

They really caved, great for Kreider, will be bad for NYR.

 

[Crease]

I'd feel better about this if Shesty wasn't shelved with an injury.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Yes!!! I would have preferred 6 years but at least it’s less annual salary

 

[JT Kreider]

What is the point of this is if Igor is out for the year??

And where does the cap space come from

 

[Fvital92]

This late surge with Igor in net killed our rebuild phase way earlier than it should. f***.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

What’s that saying about history and being forced to repeat it?

Objectively horrible decision to extend a 29 year old whose game is predicated on speed to age 36 at that AAV.

Never change NYR.

 

[Cassano]

It's below his value. Easily was worth 7x7 if he tested FA.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Cap hit is right. Don't like that 7th year.

I'm not saying I agree with the decision, but I understand why it was done. The organization is very weak on LW after Panarin.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Edit - and if this comes at the expense of ADA...I mean that is just next level

There have to be corresponding moves.

 

[Pizza]

Jeff, John a BIG Thank You.

Now get to work slackers, Lol!

There is no caving. It is called a compromise. He came down in dollars and the team went up in years.

This late surge with Igor in net killed our rebuild phase way earlier than it should. f*ck.

At this point I really wish they never called him up in the first place

Yeah, feels like our playoff hopes went down the drain.
