KAM would be thrilled to be told that.

Stop talking about a trade, it doesn't exist. Unless you want to just give him away.

I would move him for a 4th round pick to make a point.

TGWL · 2024-10-08T12:00:04-0400

I hear the offer was 10.8 and they rounded up on the amount of reasons Igor has to sign.

cheech70 · 2024-10-08T12:01:28-0400

Logan Cooley as centerpiece and as many 1st and 2nds you can get

He has trade protection with this current deal?

10 teams. Kicked in July 1st, 2023.

He tries to play defense. That doesn't mean he can. Same for Lindgren.

thanks to Igor is selling it very short. We're done in 5 against CAR without him. Florida laughed us off the ice and Igor pulling miracles couldn't save us. We were a fluke Wennberg goal away from an embarrassing exit.

The Panthers lived off fluke goals that entire series, had like 2 in that game alone. I love when people just omit facts to further their agenda.

Ail · 2024-10-08T12:04:04-0400

This is a 300 iq play by Igor to get out of NY, he saw what happened to Hank and after last post season he's already seeing first hand. He'll sign with an actual contender for 9 mil and win 3 cups. Bravo, Igor!

He ain't worse than Kakko. Haha

However, he does kinda seem like a caricature of a "hockey bro". Played with a lot of those dude back in college. They can be nice guys and fun, but they can also be pretty shitty.

I don't care if he's a bro, he just has a lot of really annoying habits on the ice.

He's a much worse version of Zibanejad, and people can't stand Zibanejad.

This thread was quickly overtaken by the Igor rumour so I may have missed any news but have any of yesterday's paper transactions been undone yet?

Igor is a head case..no allaire no contract...

TominNC · 2024-10-08T12:08:15-0400

Gotta love fans wishing for failure to make some kind of point. Bunch of nutcases.

Hoping for lots of wins and a deep run. Go be miserable if that’s your thing.

Well that is what I am getting at. Off ice i don't know, obviously, but I mention that cause he strikes me as someone that plays how he wants, regardless of what is asked and/or needed and that isn't good on a team. Just ask the Rangers and Panarin. More of those guys is bad. Less that, more Trocheck.

This may or may not be accurate and also doesn't disprove my statement.

noncents · 2024-10-08T12:13:14-0400

the hilarious (?) thing about this is that there is literally no good way it ends. None.

Either he plays lights out and gets the deal he wants, hamstringing NYR for entirety of his deal and becoming villain every time he lets in a single goal ("WE PAID 12.5mm FOR THIS!??") or he doesn't earn the deal he wants this year, Rangers do poorly, and he's the villain anyway ("VIBES ARE OFF BC SELFISH SHESTY SIEVE").

There's no way to win. no optimal outcome. Zugzwang.

Well, I'm sure they would all love to hear it.

The perfect outcome.

We win cup. Drury grows balls and still lets Shesty walk.l rather than giving that contract.

Now, onto reality. We dont win cup, drury caves and we still dont win cup and become stuck on first/second round exits.

The only optimal outcome is him having a more historic season than 2022 and the Rangers winning the Cup.
If worse comes to worse, we have Garand and the ability to sign some more pieces to fill out the team in the coming years.

Igor will never win a Cup if it not with the Rangers, you can put that in ink... Also Hank's got a pretty sweet life in NYC with his number retired, never having to pay for a sporting event or concert ever again. If he wants out of NY so bad, wait until he gets to Columbus or San Jose.

Ail · 2024-10-08T12:19:12-0400

I'm blackpilling so hard right now. Drury doesn't have the nuts to do what should be done and even if he did theres no way Dolan lets Henrikov Lundqovich slip through his fingers.

Reset the goalie market, he says.

Yeah, we needed another massive bump in player salaries while the cap hasn't moved significantly since 2018.

I hate this league.

If they didn't want this they should stop expanding.

lol not in a million years would the Yotes do that

Bob Richards · 2024-10-08T12:33:08-0400

I love Igor. There’s no need to throw stats or accolades at me because I already think he’s the best in the league.

I do not want an $11 million+ goalie lmao.
