Hello friends

PINTO

 

[MrAlmost]

Hello friends

Zegras? Tkachuk? Messier? Orr?

 

[McRanger92]

Zegras? Tkachuk? Messier? Orr?

I think he posted this before the Smith trade

 

[noncents]

oh

 

[bernmeister]

So serious question... What is the asking price on Pinto?

Kakko +?

2 1sts + like BMB for Pinto + 2 2nds imo

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

I personally think it makes sense to offer schneider 8 years X $5-5.5 AAV. And see if he takes it. Will imo be a sweetheart deal within just a couple years

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lindgren 8 x 5.6 incoming

would love if they did this. This is what I would do too. It's what you should do. Lock up your young to reasonable contracts.

I haven’t been on the Drury sucks bandwagon yet but I am certainly entertaining it.
All these other teams have seemingly improved on paper and yet he is sitting with his thumb up his butt. 1 championship In 84 years and we are standing pat. I can not understand the thought process. Please do something so I can stay off the bandwagon. After watching this play out for 65 years, I would like to see something different, I still do and always will bleed Rangers blue

I feel like the teams that improved mostly did so with getting older and signing contracts that look ok now, but could look worse than Trouba’s.

Drury got smith, the 2nd was fine value for retention and we’re waiting on the Trouba move for anything else, which is the right call.

We’ve watched this before where we were forced to buy players out because teams knew we were over the cap otherwise and they weren’t gonna do us any favors.

Safe to say no deal to Detroit ? Should be done otherwise you would think

Need a 7th D signed

Lindgren and Schneider likely get 6.5 combined on the cap so not much left

Nothing there implies that deals are off.

I have a feeling the list was given to Drury at the absolute last second.

I am more than okay with Drury today.
UFAs that weren’t signed out of the gate get into the Klingberg territory.
Saving cap space for the TDL and next year UFAs plus current roster players that will need to be resigned is playing the long game.

There is no question that a majority of them got older and the contracts could and very well might turn into albatrosses but the short term improvement might make it worth it if they don’t have NMC or NTC attached. Not saying it was a bad trade because it wasn’t.
I guess we will see how this all plays out

And that’s the thing.
Drury had a good solid off season and trade deadline the past season.
But it isn’t finished in one day.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

There's still some bargain UFAs out there like a Yamamoto, Van Reimsdyk, Zadina who they can take a flyer on.

Mahura from Florida would be a good #7.

Never was a fan of Steve Yzermen. As a player he was talented but also a diver.
I understand when players who need to scratch and claw to keep themselves in the NHL do it, but for stars it’s a sign of their character. Same for my opinion of Mika.
Also Yzermen’s tantrums when the Rangers won the draft lottery with Lafreniere were laughable.
I have no knowledge, but I hope Drury didn’t fall for a setup to take him out of the market for player(s) he was targeting.
Also we know Drury runs a tight ship so I’m guessing that the leak was probably from the Detroit camp weakening the Rangers organization’s position and causing Trouba’s value to decline.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

I mentioned in the UFA thread they need to add an experienced 7D and a backup 3C for when Chytil gets hurt.

Other than that, let Berard/Edstrom/Othmann/Rempe fight it out in camp.
