If the market is anticipated to be flooded, any chance the Rangers don’t make Strome an offer?
 
Once it is legal to do so the Rangers HR department should bring him to Astoria where the streets are filled with young people his age going about their daily lives doing what young people do. You wouldn’t know there is a pandemic going on here.

I live in Astoria and have for many years. What on earth are you talking about?

Outside of all the bars and restaurants not allowing people inside and 90% of the population still wearing masks, yeah you'd have no idea COVID was still a thing.
 
Astoria, Queens is a neighborhood of NYC that has a large population of young people who work in Manhattan ( and WFH). It has bars, cafes and diverse restaurants. Despite the Covid 19 virus the town is still very active. Whatever Alex
Galchenyuk is looking for outside of hockey he will be able to find it there. They even have a Hymalayan Restaurant.it was reported in The NY Times that if you ate it a different eatery each day in Astoria you wouldn’t be able to eat in all their restaurants in a year. Astoria has at least two outdoor beer gardens one dating back to 1918. Alex Is 26 and single. I believe if he was to visit NYC and the Rangers staff was to include Astoria , Little Odeyssa and other neighborhoods in a tour, it would be an attractive selling point for the UFA rather than playing overseas.

He sucks, which is why overseas is an option.

Galchenyuk doesn’t need to be wooed. He should be thankful for any NHL contract offer he receives.
And Astoria might be cool for us peons, but a young NHL millionaire athlete is not hanging out there.

less than zero...why would you let a RFA walk that you could trade if you don't want him?

will the market be so saturated the trade market is dried up? Speculating what may happen with revenues low and the threat of teams being sold, etc.

the trade market won't be zero which is what you'd get for not qualifying him

i think a lot of teams are looking to drop payroll. Is Strome going to accept a $2 million dollar offer from the Rangers? What will the market be? Lost revenue, flat cap and owners rumored to be selling teams.

This might be an ugly market for those not under contract. Many may not be offer much

Strome will come in around 5 million for a year is my guess. You hope he can put up 50+ points again leeched to Panarin, and then retain 50% on him at the deadline to the highest bidder

what if a multiple cheaper options are out there?

as far as “retain 50%” are you thinking that’s 50% of a one year or two year deal? One year retaining 50% of what’s left come the deadline isn’t much while 50% beyond one year is dead money.
 
Shitty post. Dave Diehl is a great guy. He was my brothers roommate at Illinois when my bro got a full ride. He even stayed at his house for Christmas and thanksgiving when my mom didn’t have the money for a plane ticket to come home for the holidays. Dave didn’t want my bro to be alone in dorms for holidays by himself and my bro and a couple guys stayed with him because his house wasn’t to far away near Chicago. Dave’s father had passed away and he was also going thru a divorce. It was a rough stretch for him for a couple years. Not saying he didn’t like to party lol but I’ve met him 5-6 times and he is a great guy. My bro still goes out to dinner with him Brandon Moore and a couple other guys from his Illini days that also didn’t go to the NFL like my bro. But Dave is a gentleman. Just a lil background
