I don't like this one bit from personality standpoint, but for that price? I guess you can't say no.

It's kinda like with Kane. I didn't mind the trade because the price was alright. But is it the right fit? I guess we'll find out.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

About 5 years too late.

Edit: Only 800k? Alright. Not bad.

 

[Raspewtin]

i don’t know what you guys want. they got a player that’s still very effective for borderline no money. they don’t have the cap to do anything else

Whats dumb?

Steal of a contract

For league minimum this is a nice signing. Tarasenko wanted $5 million plus...

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Love it

 

[Crease]

Hard to dislike at this price.

What were you expecting? Us to move Goodrow and sign Tarasenko? News flash that ain’t happening unless we give up a 2nd plus.

Is there a better RW to be had for under 1mm? Come on

 

[Ail]

f*** that's a steal.

 

[Daves a mess]

Love it

800k are u serious? this is amazing deal

I mean, it’s only 800k. As a depth scoring option it’s not a bad bet at all.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

There’s no ******* way anyone can be mad about 800K LOL

If you are you’ll never be happy

I want young players with wheels and tenacity yo address the lack of those things in the top six. I’d rather pay young, hungry guy to get dirty and drive the other team nuts than a way past his prime former star to be bad at being a scorer.

 

[zlev]

wow this is awesome

they don’t have assets or cap to do that. would you rather they did nothing?

you’re also reeaaaallly underrating Wheeler

 

[nevesis]

Love Wheeler. Price is right too. LFG.

more than depth scoring. dude had 55 points in 72 games last season.

I don’t want Tarasenko back either. We need speedy players that will mix it up and crash the net. I want to use this limited cap space on young players with something to prove.

 

[Bob Richards]

He's getting paid $7.25/Hour. Tough to complain.

 

[Nickmo82]

Saw the announcement.
Thought "Ugh!"
Then joked to myself "It better be at league minimum." knowing it's the Rangers and that they probably gave him 3 years at $3m.
Refreshed for this thread. Pleasantly surprised.

 

[NYR94]

Pass first player, keep him off Bread's line lol.

Maybe he could fit setting up Mika and Kreider.
