Speculation: Roster Building Thread I (2019/2020) - A Day in the Life

[Doctyl]

How embarrassing for our beat writers...

You’ve been writing for days about the buyout period and it was totally wrong.

And they all got the information at the same time, so some Rangers PR person probably sent out an email saying “hey idiots, the buyout period starts tonight”

I wish they had let Brooks write a scathing article about the incompetence of NYR management before correcting him

Wonder if other GMs knew when the deadline was. Is it possible Gorton could have been using it to see if other teams would have upped their trade offers prior to the "deadline"? That would have been some next level GMing.

Hahahaha

I think you need to take a minute and gather some perspective. Hockey is a sport. A game. Nothing you should be getting yourself this worked up over.

Nuh-uh!

This mess is hilarious

Pat Leonard would have never allowed this.

12:01am tomorrow. Really 1 minute after midnight tonight.

Holy shit @NYR Viper was right about the business days thing.

And @GAGLine was wrong.



This is comedy.

 

[Doctyl]

I blame RB

Lol was about to check the time the buy-out window opened but thought what the heck, it has been reported...

 

[BklynTerp]

So uhhh, who do you guys think we should buyout??

So uhhh, who do you guys think we should buyout??

Lets start this Staal vs Shattenkirk vs Smith debate again for the next 48 hours

Larry probably called Gorton and this is how it went:

LB - Evening Jeff, any news on a buyout today?
JG - Umm, no. I’m working on some things right now.
LB - But the 5PM deadline just passed.
JG - “Silence”
LB - Hello?
JG - Buyout window opens at 12:01 tonight, leave me alone.
LB - Yes master.

Ranger fans:

Jeff Gorton when he sees everyone fell for it:

 

[will1066]

Pat Leonard would have never allowed this.

Frank Brown would have

 

[FoxyClean]

Now if they only count business days...are we sure it doesn't actually end on Monday? Oh my goodness.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Aren’t you guys glad I went to walk the dog? Otherwise, you might all still be sitting here waiting.

 

[Kovalev27]

You know that means not one beat reporter checked with the team in the last 3 days to get an idea about this.

Useless

 

[Alluckks]

One of the few times I don’t bother reading the CBA myself about something

Out beat writers suck
