Well... there goes Motte .

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Rooney replacement? Don’t know anything about him.

 

[One Winged Angel]

This makes me believe that the kids have shots on the wings. Kravtsov is probably playing this year. Motte is gone.

 

[Lion Hound]

Someone here mentioned him yesterday as a possibility

 

[NCRanger]

Motte is gone now. Sign Kakko and get ready for camp.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Random facebook guy was right.

Good defensively, Good PK'er. Hope he doesnt get overused like some of the other "depth" guys have been.

 

[Thirty One]

Feel like he's been rumored since the day Gallant was hired.

 

[Fitzy]

Gallant connection in Vegas 4C signing.

I haven't seen any strong evidence that he's that much better than Rooney, but he's probably cheaper.

 

[RangerBoy]

Rooney replacement? Don’t know anything about him.

There were rumors last season concerning the Rangers and Carpenter. His career face-off numbers are 48%-51%. His possession numbers are decent. They improved when he went from Chicago to Calgary. His numbers were good in Vegas. Gallant knows him from Vegas.

New whipping boy just dropped?

 

[Lays]

Rangers were interested in him at the deadline

 

[NYR Viper]

They needed a depth center. I mentioned the team needed to sign (2) centers and (2) goalies in UFA. Halak, Domingue and Trochek, Carpenter. Carpenter may bounce between the AHL/NHL

New whipping boy just dropped?

If he plays above the 4th line? Absolutely.


Russian Bot @EdJovanovski is already working on Kakko being that guy. If Kravstov doesn't get off to a good start/have a decent season he's an easy target too. Then there are the likes of Blais and Reaves. Actually I'll go with Reaves since hes actually not a good player.

NHL minimum

Drury wasn't kidding when he said cheap.

Idk, we love to complain about 4th liners

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Nice, league min.

Just somehow get Motte signed and we are set.

 

[Circus86]

Would have preferred Motte but I get why we preferred a center. Cheaper too. Is he any good? I have no clue.

 

[Raspewtin]

this is the poor bastard Strome beat up in the game against Chicago where Trouba sent Khaira to kingdom come, lol

 

[LokiDog]

Physical, hard working, 52% on 300 faceoffs last year. Good depth.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

NHL minimum

Drury wasn't kidding when he said cheap.

Fine with this. 13th forward/competes for 12th. Probably plays 30 or so games here

Maybe Motte can play for $750,000 and Dolan can deposit $2M into an offshore account in the Cayman Islands.

technically can get buried, no?

There's still a chance for Motte

Haha, I havent checked out the cap situation, are you saying we have no more money for him after this signing (and Kakko’s eventual signing).
