Somehow I’m feeling angrier towards Igor reading that

Does he? You'd think if he liked being here he'd commit to the maximum term of 8 years instead of only taking 7 so he could get to FA a year earlier.

Lafreniere and Fox contracts are why the Rangers can go a little over their limit with Igor's next deal. Great work by Drury

I think it's quite shocking he's willing to do 7 years considering that bridge he already committed to. He would be 30 when reaching UFA.

If Lafreniere stays on the trajectory he's on, he'll never play for another team and he can write his own contract with the Rangers at age 30.

i think we need to slow this roll.
his projected deal is fair for his production and potential production.
we have not seen Lafreniere succeed as the best player on his line.

I’m a bit surprised he is not doing a shorter deal but I have no doubt he could get another 5/6 year deal at 30
As someone that has run into him on multiple occasions In Manhattan, he loves NYC lmao

When the top draft pick in franchise history has been playing like it, believe it.

im not saying we shouldn't sign him to this deal. i was advocating for signing him to this deal last year.
i'm saying our expectations as fans for him to be the best player or even best forward in the team in the next 2 years, or potentially beyond then, should be tempered.
he's not sidney crosby and he doesn't have to be.

Signing a deal when you're going to be 31 to start the season might net you a longer term than signing when turning 32 for the season. With the cap increasing, he could potentially earn more than if he took the 8th year now. Although that would also mean he's still playing at a high level at 31 to get that extra money.

His numbers as of last year and this year have him as potentially the best ranger forward we’ve ever had.
If you just look at his points, then it’s underwhelming but then when you factor in his production at 5v5 was on par last year with
Malkin, Tuch, reinhart
All of whom were putting up 80+ points I think he’s gonna be exactly what we want, expect.

Has anyone mentioned how Panarin and Jack Eichel's contracts end at the same time? On a related note, how fast would Mika waive his NMC if Kreider was gone?
Right now our 3rd line is murdering who they're playing against and we have depth if we move Mika there we'll be back to the team we were last year when he have Bonino in there. I legit think if you move him down and take away his PP time Mika is a 40 point player at best.
I don't know if I'm being naive but maybe Laf's personality is one of those types of people that doesn't need to be paid the highest amount possible as long as he makes good money regardless.
I just realized Kreider only has a 15 team NTC now instead of Nmc.
Hopefully he is an offseason casualty
