[nyrleetch]

Love this!!!

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I guess he took that hometown discount in terms of contract length

and yearly amount too, I'd say.

 

[Trxjw]

Like I said in the other thread, I really, really wasn't interested in Shattenkirk. But I can't even be mad at those terms. Rangers are going for it for the last 4 years of Hank's deal.

[Ghost of jas]

That is a hometown discount.

 

[Lime]

I love this guy already what a discount

 

[DanielBrassard]

**** yes!!!11

 

[Mac n Gs]

Basically traded off the last 4 years of Stepan for 4 years of Shattenkirk. How the **** did Gorton do this?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

AWww yeah!

Why would he ever sign with the devils?! lmao

LGR!!

Killer top 4 with promising bottom pair options.

 

[Speedtrials]

Amazing, can't believe he left so much on the table to play for us!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Absolutely love it!!!

 

[Calad]

Welcome home Shatty!!! Great work by gorts

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Amazing, can't believe he left so much on the table to play for us!

Yes?

 

[RegalRangers]

I can't remember the last time we signed such a solid UFA to a deal this great. Just an absolute home run.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Defense is looking good.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Proof he wanted to be a Ranger above all else.


4 years at 6.6? That cap hit is less than expected and the term is 3 years less than anyone thought he'd take.

Fantastic.


Now we just need AV to use him as a 1st pair guy, not the way he used Yandle.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This team never learns. Overpaying overrated UFA's. We are giving a PP specialist 6.65.

But four years is not that long. Still think this team is missing the playoffs with this big cap hit.

 

[bubba5]

Wow. I was totally against signing him. But at that price it's a no brainer

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Wow Utter Brilliance... Go get us a 3C now and we can go to war!

 

[NYRKING30]

As a guy who didn't even like the idea of signing him. I could def live with a deal like this for a shorter term. Very fair for both sides.

 

[EdJovanovski]

YESSSSSSS

McDonagh - Shattenkirk
Skjei - Smith
Staal/Bereglazov - DeAngelo

What an improvement

 

[nyrage]

I didn't want him at the expected price and term, but this is a great deal!

 

[Vitto79]

McD, Shatty
Skjei, Smith
Staal/Holden, Deangelo
Brezgalov
