Oh ok I didn't even remember that one.

It wasn't public. I think only team personal and the beat writers knew about it. I'm only going by what Carp mentioned in his blog. Actually I think somebody else may have mentioned it as well but I can not remember who/where.

You guys are mad at Brooks because the Rangers don't share your enthusiasm for Shattenkirk. You haven't really heard much about Shattenkirk and the Rangers since the end of the season. It's a huge commitment.

It has nothing to do with shattenkirk. Its really about the crap his writes for years now. I mean say what you want about Dan Boyle as a Ranger but when he told off Brooks he was right in what he said
 
Thirty One - I'm bad at searching, not really finding anything. One thing front loading does help with is that it's easier to trade the contract if his play drops off to basement teams :)

So make a front loaded 7 year contract with as little signing bonuses as possible and we can get out of it if it turns sour, which i don't think it will.

That's a much better plan then to go 4-5 years with a really high AAV like Brooks talked about, we don't have the cap space to spare for that.

Atleast that's what i think.

Called Kevin Lowe a coward. Called Wade Redden "Golden Gloves Redden" in a sarcastic way after Wade stuck up for another Ranger. What he thinks is funny comes at other people's expense. They say never get in a fight with a person that buys their ink by the barrel.

You got mad at Brooks when he said the Rangers were interested in Kovalchuk

It's definitely a better plan to front-load it. It makes the contract more tradeable, and giving the player more up front will should make them take less total. But it does make it potentially a tougher buy-out.

They don't deserve success, the way they are talking about the proposals. They value prospects over prime players and think potential is a given. They're all bernmeisters over there. Younger, faster, bigger. Build, build, build.

He is a clown. Boyle said it and I stand by it from this day, until my last day haha
 
I wonder if Stepan and Duchene are linked to each other. I'm sure there are a handful of teams interested in both. When one goes, there may be a run on the other. Outside of them, unless there is someone available no one is discussing, there aren't any centers of value available.

Good point. JG may be waiting on Duchene to be dealt to
A. Set the price for stepan
And B. Isolate stepan as the only prime center on the market

I'm sure Boyle got a lot of high fives from his teammates after he crushed Brooks and Brett. Lets face it those guys loathe him

Still not sure about that last part, but aslong as we don't fill it with signing bonuses then the buyout will be OK late anyways if needed.

I very much doubt Shattenkirk will be so bad that he's not tradeable late, especially if he's on 50 cent on the dollar.
