Every single time there's a big UFA we get the "this one's different" speech with 10 different reasons why this one is different.
How many of them have actually been different?

Why don't you ask the poster that claims he's worldly and possesses such a large IQ.
As if self proclamation makes it so., just what this place needs more massengill.

I love the idea of using Kreider's cap space.
Kreider currently carries a hit of 4.6 and Panarin might make as much as 11. That's that worldly math. You wouldn't understand.
That's one.

Hartford has outdrawn Utica every year since the Comets have moved in. It just looks better because the Comets play in a small arena and the WolfPack could double their attendance and they would still be playing in a half-empty building.

Even Gaborik didn't pan out for his entire contract here. He scores 40 twice and was traded in year 4 of a 5 year deal. He was injured every other year.
I feel that Karlsson would be the same story as much as I like the player. A special, special talent when healthy. But how many years are left in the tank? He can score 50 points in 60 games a year, but I don't think that's worth the contract he'll get. The only way he comes here is if he takes a significant discount in term and money. But even if he signs here for 4 years, what's the purpose? The Rangers aren't a playoff team this coming season or even the next one. The Rangers won't be able to make a serious run in the playoffs until probably what will be the final year of that contract.
Panarin has the better track record as far as health and has less miles on him. He is going to want too much money. The time isn't right to add a big ticket free agent. You add those guys to put you over the top from contender to Cup favorite or make a fringe team into a playoff threat. The Rangers are neither.
Stay the course and add when the time is right. The time isn't right at the moment.

I’m in the play Chytil , Howden , Andersson a bunch this year to see if they have line 2 potential
Could run Kreider , Zib, Buch then go Chytil , Kakko , Kravtsov for fun
I see Lemieux , Andersson , Fast as a good line
Leaves Names w Howden and Strome
I could see a Vesey, Pionk plus picks for Spurgeon

Oh, yeah. Many movies from that era are. Jas refers to Davisian as the Big Toe of the board.
So many pearls. Not sure how many of them could be done today. Like the scene at the recruiters station........ "Flaming or regular?". If you catch my drift.

U think you're being funny but there's nothing happy about remembering those who lost their lives defending this country.
It takes a true A-hole to make light of this. Well done.

What's definition of "something", high IQ genius? JD was talking about no shortcuts to becoming competitive, right? What if he was talking about no shortcuts to becoming competitive as early as next season? Just an extreme example since there were recent rumors, the Rangers could trade a few young players, prospects and picks and bring Malkin. They could then go out and sign a couple of UFAs (e.g. Skinner etc). That would be one example of a shortcut to become immediately competitive. Then compare it bringing Panarin with still longer outlook perspective - it wouldn't be exactly the same, would it? The point is people can put a spin and interpret words in multiple different ways.
