So $1m a year.

 

[Rangers in 7]

ok, this is my revised...

1. Shesty 5.6 + Zib 8.0 + Lindgren rfa for Nylander 11.5 + Knies .925 x 1 + Liljigren 3 x 2
ballpark cap even

Ls repurpose Nylander into best G, rely on Matthews to drive offense; Zib = younger replacement for Tavares; swap of D acceptable w/Lindy better to clear crease, ballpark cap neutral there

Rs get bread replacement fixes 1st line, Kreider - Nyl bookends, give Knies a shot at pivot there to start; Lilj = actual righty D; Quick + Domingue hold it while Garand joins and breaks in asap

Zib will waive b'c it is clear much of the vet core is being moved, and top 6 in TOR w/AM + Marner is not bad relocation

-------------

2. Panarin max retained to like 5.8 + Trouba max retained to 4.0 + Othmann elc + nyr 2025 1st
for
Dobson

a) bread is not gonna get a deal that is not insulting, let alone sniff 11+ from us, and this is best way for him to save face w/o it appearing ugly. Isles famously offered more when his deal began, so $$ aspect good there.
b) Trouba wants to stay close to nyc, this is close enuf. He is also had at half x 2.
c) Then after splurging/wasting on rentals etc, getting a good F prospect full elc is huge; and the pick is nice.
All that is too much to turn down, even for Dobson, who will get huge salary hike next deal

===================

Kreider - Knies - Nylander
Berard - Tro - LaF
Cuylle - Chytil - KK
Vesey or upgrade - Edstrom - Rempe

Fox - Dobson
KAM - Schneid
Scanlin - Lilj

Quick/Doming/Garrand

---------
keep an eye out for Zegras + Pinto


both immediately and over term of his deal

Bern….even you have to admit this is f***ing horrible lol

Knies your first line center? Berard as your top 6 lw

f***ing quick can not be a starter anymore. This one is laughable

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The shutdown line thing, we saw that in the playoffs, don't want it recreated again. The line was good defensively but a zero offensively.

Shutdown lines are good, especially if they're effective. They only become a problem offensively when your scoring lines can't put up points.

as opposed to his others? If anything, he's consistent.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Bye bye then.

Also never gonna happen. Have fun being disappointed on your moral high ground.

I think you need your third line to be able to score some. That wasn't the case for us.

It doesn't need to match the top 2, but it has to score SOME. It can't be a duplicate fourth line.

It's more like wise team building than anything to do with morality, but yes, I'm sure Drury will make another contractual bad decision, as he's made numerous so far in his tenure.

Toffoli scares me but that’s cause he’s older

Let’s convince McDavid to come here for league minimum. It’s wise team building. Forget whether or not this is realistic, it’s the right thing to do.

I wonder if we sign a vet dman for 7th spot (assuming Jones is taking 3 LD) or will we just use Robertson so we don't have to put him on waivers to go to AHL.

I can't imagine Robertson is a realistic consideration for the NHL this season unless we have a ton of injuries. He's basically hanging on by a string in Hartford.

I agree.

Pretty much a lock

would’ve liked pesce :/

Well when MacKinnon signs for league minimum, then I'll argue it's feasible.

 

[bhamill]

this is hilarious to me after what the post reported. he had unfinished business, he was the apple of the rangers eye, he wanted to return to new york, it was going to take 3 years and 4-5m to get it one. and this is the contract he got to stay in detroit.

absolutely concerned that this is the player drury pegged to get them over the hump, but thank god a bullet was dodged.

Maybe the part about Drury identifying him as the missing piece was just as much bullshit as the rest of the rumors?

 

[noncents]

i don't see his posts anymore but this sounds like a doozy

 

[Boris Zubov]

Maybe?!? LOL This was directly out of the agent playbook. It worked & they overpaid. Good thing it wasn't us.

Vince says the “smoke” was likely issued by the Kane camp and not the NYR.

That's my point. Drury was never in on him.

Yeah. I wasnt REALLY asking a question. Hahahaha.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Still a pick for me on a fourth line depending upon cost. Good defensive forward who can PK and chip in some offense and can play on the third line if injuries become an issue. I have a feeling someone will overpay a bit for him, though.

 

[haohmaru]

That's my point. Drury was never in on him.

Which I was supporting with facts…

 

[bleedblue94]

Toffoli scares me but that’s cause he’s older

And he can't skate

 

[Boris Zubov]

Thanks for the assist!

Nice to see some team work around here for a change!

 

[haohmaru]

And he can't skate

He’ll fit right in then
