Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XIV (To trade or not to trade is the question)

I'm telling you, Emily will be in a wig later

Drury really Friday news dumped the Igor extension.

 

[noncents]

this is incredible

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Well that sounds like it’s sub 12. Not that this makes it a good deal.

Not sure why you do it now with out knowing wtf this team is going to do the rest of the way.

 

[RangerLifer]

all my happiness from Trouba is gone.

I really, really didn't want Igor back.

This was THE STUPIDEST move the team could have made and guess what...they did it. I can't take this crap anymore.

 

[Atax]

Yay another 8 years of being carried by a goalie worse than Henrik. Going to love some 2nd round exits.

I think we know

Sign and trade?

lol

 

[RangerLifer]

Looks like we can finally turn the page and maybe see a new brand of Rangers hockey in the next few seasons.


Oh never mind.

Yup. No money to upgrade at C or D. STUPID TEAM! There are no words.

 

[noncents]

I don't care that it didn't work with Hank.

i ride with the Czar.


plus as we've see some dumb GM will eat igor contract in a few years when he's utterly spent

 

[will1066]

This organization has relied on goaltending for so long, it is afraid to even consider a different philosophy

 

[haohmaru]

Igor 11.5



Probably happened weeks ago

So... Weekesy isn't crazy.

And neither is our GM. Kudos to Drury for getting rid of Goodrow's awful contract and, somehow, getting rid of Trouba non-retained and bringing back a pick and a player.

Unreal.

Two MAJOR distractions taken care of. Time to right the ship.

 

[LokiDog]

f***. I hate this team with my entire soul. Honestly, I may be done. Did we really clear Trouba’s cap just to make Igor, who turns 29 next month, the highest paid goalie in history for 8 years? This franchise is so f***ing stupid. Like, after a while I can’t defend you when you put your own weiner in the meat grinder. Absolutely brainless.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I swear to god, the term "... like a drunk sailor on shore leave." was coined by a Rangers fan. The second they free up some cap, they have to immediately spend without thinking anything through.

I hope to god you're right but if it includes a NMC, Igor has got us by the balls

To me, I’m only fine with this contract specifically because Trouba is gone.

Idc how he’s been this year, he’s the best goalie in the league.

 

[OthmannOut]

I'm such a mark for the Kevin Weekes forehead trade announcements.

 

[McRanger92]

Dont love paying the goalie that kind of money but I'll cope by saying its much more tenable with a rising cap and deleting Trouba/Goodrow for nothing.

 

[Raspewtin]

i'm so.......utterly repulsed by this contract.

nobody in pro sports except Chris Drury would've given this contract.

I can't do this right now.

 

[noncents]

let's look at the cap. assume lindgren is gone - who can't we afford?

kakko has to be gone so now yes i do think he's traded. kreider potentially too

I hope to god you're right but if it includes a NMC, Igor has got us by the balls

it absolutely does. you know it does

 

[Machinehead]

Any good faith just absolutely nuked. They probably still thought Trouba was good. It was a contract move.

 

[Kravtsov420]

I mean did anyone honestly think they weren’t going to resign Igor? Snowblind should handle this well

I don't know. I don't like the number. I didn't like the 11M number.

But then I look at Hartford and see Garand. I look at 2025 UFA's and I see absolutely nothing.

If nothing else, this contract will age well and from all the stuff I've been listening to, Igor would've gotten 13M on the open market.

Say what you want, but he's money in the playoffs.

They never learn. One step in the right direction just to run face first into the wall.
