Roster Building Thread - Part XII

[Savant]

to use a "breakout" - based on an arbitrary round number of points produced - as sole basis for whether we try to sign him is bad process.

Why? He isn’t taking pay cut. Why should we give him a raise if he doesn’t break it out.

Breakouts are like pornography. I can’t define it but I know when I see it. Lafreniere broke out last season. He earned a raise.

If Kakko doesn’t break out, he doesn’t deserve a raise. If he does break out, they can’t afford to pay his raise

nuance. let's use it.

if he scores between 40 and 50 points, with 35+ at evens strength, in 75+ games playing 3rd line minutes, and contributes to NYR success, he will absolutely have earned a raise and a contract.

How are the Rangers affording to pay this raise ?

false assumption

I need to see you calculator. Especially if Lafreniere and Igor are getting 20+ million between the two of them. They certainly aren’t giving Igor a monster deal to sacrifice their last year of Panarin

Didn’t watch the game but Just popping in to say that our goalie who wants 12.5 million bucks a year should probably be able to win a game where his team scores 5 against the former Arizona coyotes on home ice.

I’m resisting the urge to give you a ton of snark.
The goals were good goals, 4 of the goals came from very in close and tough angle shots. Theres not really much you can do when that happens, and Igor made a bunch of good saves.

Especially when players are left wide open on the blind side for one-timers at practically an empty net.

While i agree. It doesnt make a difference anymore. He needs to make the impossible saves otherwise he is just as good as swayman and not worth 12m.

Sorry, i have no sympathy for him. Be the best player on the ice every game. Especially so bc he doesnt play 30% of the games.

6 more seasons of Mika

I'd take Brassard over him any day since they're in playoff win mode. Mika is a top line center on a rebuilding team, not a playoff team. Too soft for playoff hockey. Brassard always showed up in the playoffs. Whats Mika's excuse his long hair

I wouldn’t disagree that the team needs to play better around him because they definitely do but to make the money he wants you have to be a difference maker every night, and I don’t feel that Igor is. A little birdie told me he gave up 2 softies tonight

Meeka should’ve shaved his head like Panarin and deGrom.

Mika should focus on hockey and not his awful DJ career
