Shesterkin should get the Demko contract and nothing more right now if they go long term with him.

If Servalli is saying that...... Dude has been on it all off season so far across the league

 

[JohnC]

"It was an easy decision"
"Original 6 franchise"

"Exciting young forawrds"

"Recent Norris trophy winner"

 

[Thirty One]

Feels eerily similar to the morning of the Stepan trade.

 

[LOFIN]

Me thinky Trouba will be the one wearing C

 

[Blueshirts777]

So a deal is imminent then

 

[Thirty One]

He's had quite a bit of misses too. Most of the expansion draft stuff he put out there before the actual picks were in were way off.

 

[Taluss]

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Rangers could land a top 10 pick today if they really wanted. Idk. I don't see it happening though

 

[effen]

So everyone loses their shit for overpaying Goodrow by 500k but wants to bridge Igor instead of locking him up and potentially saving 2-3M a year in cap space?

I see you're new here.

I wonder if TSN somehow limited his ability to do insider stuff, 'cause he has been on it like madman since he left. Friedman seeing his rear lights soon if not already as the best insider.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The only way you’re landing a top 10 pick is Buchnevich

unless you package Strome with the 15 to move up

if you move Buchnevich to get a top 10 pick, that would presumably mean Strome is sent to Buffalo for salary

 

[haveandare]

I hate the idea of getting another pick just to add to the Eichel return. Just give a package and let them figure out their own picks. The guy needs neck surgery for gods sake

Buch to LA or Nucks wouldn't surprise me.

I'm all for locking him up, but not at the figure quoted.

 

[EdJovanovski]

If you guys don't want to pay up for Shesty we could always try Goodrow in net

 

[H00fHearted]

I suspect that his lifelong streak of playing against Strome will continue...

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Buch is worth around a top 10 in theory but everyone up there besides maybe LAK (8) and VAN (9) is horrible, no reason for like CBJ to do it even with a sweetener on our side

 

[effen]

I'm all for locking him up, but not at the figure quoted.

$5-5.5M/5 yrs: fine
$6M/5 yrs: A BRIDGE TOO FAR.

???

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Demko set the market for Igor. His agent may be trying to get a bit more but that’s the reality

if he doesn’t like it tell him to have fun playing for SKA where there’s a hard salary cap now and he’ll make even less

 

[duhmetreE]

On why he decided to join the Rangers

"I mean, did you see the contract"

 

[BKGooner]

The insiders have gone radio silent. Very little has come out tonight. Bettman is definitely not happy after the entire expansion roster was given out during the day on twitter. He lost an audience because of it.

Now, he's going to make sure people watch the draft. I wouldn't expect anything until after 4 tomorrow. Build up anticipation and that you may have to watch the draft to know the trades.

The NHL needs better ratings for ESPN. They need to make up for yesterday somehow.

they could start with a better show. Most fans aren't as into it as people here and people from here still tuned in. If anything was in the least entertaining, the Kraken draft revue would have been watched more.

 

[Avery16]

Surprised nobody jumped on Coleman yet

Well the Goodrow contract should scare them all away
