Yeah and what did those deals achieve for those teams? Nothing.

Lol do leafs fans really have to make posts like this on other team’s boards?
Where are you getting this, because I don’t see anyone credible saying this. He hasn’t signed yet.

Further, you cannot win in the NHL without elite talent and it rarely becomes available. If you have an opportunity to acquire such talent you should do it.
Also, how is it possible that Stamkos and Tavares have become available and the Rangers were MIA from pursuing both?

Who needs Tavares when Walgod is gonna make McDavid look like a scrub?
Toronto suits me just fine, will be an anchor for many years...

I don't watch hockey to see some 4th line winger throw a couple of hits.
The Rangers weren't invited to meet with either player. They didn't want to play in New York for the Rangers. The Rangers weren't MIA.

Nonsense, we have begun seeing complete meltdown of the Islander fanbase and it is great
JVR went back to the Flyers. They were not mentioned much as a team looking for a winger. Do they move Simmonds? The Bruins wanted JVR. The Bruins wanted Kovalchuk. The Bruins wanted to re-sign Nash. He may retire. Montreal isn't trading Pacioretty to Boston. Skinner? He has control of his destination. I read he turned down a trade or two. The Blues? He might want an extension in exchange for waiving his NMC. Neal as a free agent? They aren't bringing Kessel back. The Bruins want to add another winger. Are the Rangers and Boston a match for another trade?
The Rangers need to do nothing for the next couple of years. No stupid trades or free agent signings. I know that's too hard for fans and the media to accept. Do nothing. Just keep trading off players for younger assets. Those young players will develop and mature over the course of the next two seasons. That's the only way to do it.

Theres that but nothing from JTs camp, the Islanders or any "insiders". Very odd.
If they sign Gryba or Fayne to be the 7th it better be a 2 way or dirt cheap 1 way they can bury like Lack did in NJ.
Kampfer going down Likely if so

I like JVR and think the contract will be ok, not great but ok. The cap goes up, he's a leader, some good passers on that team.
What I find hilarious is the flyers having the growing pains phase and UFA overpayment phase with JVR without the prime production years. Must have been worth it for Luke Schenn. Almost makes Kovalev hurt less.

I never thought JT was likely to re-sign, but I don't think the isles are out today. Is he waiting because he is conflicted, or is he bidding up his contract? If he's conflicted, the longer the better for Long Island. The poster chatter believed SJ has a 7 x $13m offer out there. I would love to see the isles top that.
When Barzal outproduces him every single year, what does he demand on his next deal? They need to drop assets on a goalie and a defense, the cupboard will be bare in a season just getting the isles in the contention conversation.
