Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] Ryan Reaves signs extension with the Rangers (1 year, $1.75M)

[BiPolar Caps]

Should have just offered the Capitals a third round pick if they didn't dress Wilson for any of the games against the Rangers. It would have been cheaper and not taken a roster spot.

 

[Super Hans]

Tom Wilson doing what he can to help in the fight against national unemployment

Finally someone in DC is good at creating jobs.

Why didn't they watch him for half a season before deciding this? You don't know how he fits in your lineup or if a 35/36 year old goon is going to be able to keep going. His legs have already given up on him

Insane management here. No pressure to re-sign him, especially to the same cap hit of near 2m. Yikes

This is what Sather does, he did it with Brashear and Boogaard in the past too

 

[SML2]

Nearly 2M for a guy who cannot really play a regular shift

Feels like 1997

Except we didn't give up a first rounder to find out.

My god Wilson wreaked havoc on NYR... after seeing how this offseason has gone, I didn't realize just how much

[Nickmo82]

Lol this makes no sense...

Wilson has 3 years left on his contract, what are they going to do in that last year?

They have several MMA stars learning how to skate as we speak.

 

[BobRouse]

Yep. Brash gets suspended by putting a cheap shot on Betts and even after suspension Boudreau doesn’t use him rest of playoffs

Rangers immediately sign him as a UFA and overpay. Sather still fancies the days of Semenko and McSorely riding shotgun

Ya know, like before?

Oh I guarantee the coach wanted him forsure....

For a certain reason

Reaves can take regular shifts. He’s actually a pretty effective forechecker and can cycle decently down low.

1.75M. Lol. How are the Rangers going to overcome that! That’s over 2% of the teams cap!

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

Should have traded him straight up for Buch.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Isles/Devils/Caps games are going to be reallllly fun these next 2 years

 

[Mobiandi]

The Rangers are giving Peter Chiarelli's Oilers a run for worst offseason in the cap era

Ryan Reaves is a f***ing beauty.

He brings a lot more on and off the ice than punching faces (although he is very good at that). Everyone will make jokes, but he’s worth every penny.

Live look at the Caps front office:

 

[Rockomax]

1.75M? Really?

 

[NYSPORTS]

OMG!!! A 3rd round pick to defend nine #1 picks, a Norris trophy winner and about 12 other kids including two lottery picks.

You wish your team had that scenario

 

[Buck Dancer]

Drury, the gift that keeps giving!

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Probably gonna regret that.

Yes, I'm sure they're going to regret this. SMH

This is the craziest over-exaggeration I've seen in quite some time. Their biggest signing this off-season cost 3.6 million per year and fills a need that was probably the reason we missed the playoffs last year.

Ok this is getting out hand now. This would have been the equivalent of trading Panarin for Eric Cernak, our 1st round pick for Julius Honka and signing Nick Foligno to a 5 year contract

 

[NYSPORTS]

Drury, the gift that keeps giving!

Devils plan on defending Hughes or banking on everybody avoiding him after that awkward celebration on his brother?
