[Rangers in 7]

i think its a great deal at a decent term

 

[Kaapodonna]

Woot! Good for Quickie.

 

[rangers1314]

Tremendous

 

[Chaels Arms]

Good player and we will need him after the losses of Stepan and Lindberg.

 

[Fugazy]

Great value for Fast.

 

[Kaapodonna]

Since when does the Ranger's FB page break news lol?

 

[Matz03]

Nice deal! decent term and we have an rfa taken care of in early July instead of near training camp. Now get Zib wrapped up to hopefully long term deal.

 

[mas0764]

Seems like a high amount. Maybe not.

 

[wolfgaze]

He earned it...

 

[Fugazy]

Seems like a high amount. Maybe not.

I was expecting $2M+ AAV.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Nice deal for the term.

 

[bl02]

Very good deal. Fair both sides. Kid is capable of 3rd line duties and is probably one of the best 4th liners in hockey . Young and isn't afraid to win puck battles .

 

[LeetchisGod]

This guy is all effort. Glad to have him back.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Quickie!

 

[mas0764]

"Send him down Fast."

j/k

 

[Inferno]

I consider this a good deal if its only buying our RFA years..and a GREAT deal if its buying out any UFA years...im too lazy to look it up.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I was expecting $2M+ AAV.

Same here. No idea how you could expect much under that. This is a savings of 150K per year IMO.

 

[Machinehead]

Absolutely marvelous contract.

Fire your agent, bud.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

The kid is all effort. He's one of those players I don't mind slightly overpaying. Even so, I thought he'd get right around $2M, so this is a nice deal for the team.

 

[RangerBoy]

Two group II years and one group III year. Lindberg got 2 years and $3.4M from Vegas. Very good deal for the Rangers.

 

[Lua]

Great news. I was sure he'd get 2 mil per, and I still think he'd be worth every penny.

Avoiding arbitration is always nice.

 

[Jonas1235]

Jesper wants some security obviously.

 

[Vitto79]

Nice . Ideally 4th line but can move up if needed

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Fantastic contract.. he can play anywhere in the lineup
