Buying out Smith for me is a MUST.

To be fair, bread cheese oil and tomato isnt exactly the anti-breakfast. It’s strictly the stigma around it. In my culture we can have Hachipurri for breakfast and that has all the same ingredients minus the Tomato sauce.

First I've heard of hachipurri. Looked it up.

Want.

@Kupo @JCProdigy come on down! I’m really close to NYC.

Why?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I mean this is a board to discuss things, but there are some talking points that are absolutely moot, yet every other day someone pops up and proposes something totally unrealistic.
Like buying out Shat or Smith or trading Staal, nvm the NMC - that simply gets ignored everytime.

We're doing great.

AFAIC there is pretty much on more piece we can trade without killing the teams chemistry, it's Vesey. His departure would have the least impact, roster quality-wise and chemistry-wise.

If you don't mind saying, where you at? Been working/living in the area for over 10 years now. Live in Germantown now and work in DC always looking for good pizza in MoCo area.

Point of Rocks. If you take 28 into Frederick eventually it hits 15 (right at the bridge over the Potomac that takes you into VA, headed to Leesburg). Shortly before that you pass by Rocky Point Creamery which everyone thinks is amazing but I just find to be expensive, our little "shopping center", and then you can see the new subdivision behind the steel mill which is where I'm at.

When my family moved from Long Island we moved right across from the Kentlands, which didn't exist then. After college I moved to Germantown, in Milestone. Got married and packed it up to Frederick where I could get a $650K house in MoCo for half that.

MoCo, when we moved there, I thought was the country. Now it's like Queens. I haven't found any great pizza. Some people like Potomac Pizza, I find it overly-greasy and the crust too floppy. Some people like Giuseppi's, which is well-constructed but kind of bland, IMO. Inferno is ok, and so is Fontina Grill in Rockville (they have a lunch buffet with mussels that is money).

Mrs. Anderson's special salmon sandwiches, after all, it's Vancouver!

My favorite part of the '94 video was reliving Glen talking about his moms salmon sandwiches.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I suppose Germantown got some grade A Wurstwaren.

(Mods, just be glad we're talking some refreshing food-talk here ok. The hockey stuff has been a drag.)

One of the great little side stories of the '94 finals.

We didn't need no stinkin hyperbaric chambers, we had Mrs. A's Salmon Samiches !

Hopefully with D-Men flying off the market, interest in Shattenkirk heats up.

I still think he can have a bounce-back year and we can get something for him at the deadline. But I"m not so sure where he fits with Trouba, ADA & Fox.

I think the Rangers are really hoping/thinking that Fox is ready to go and if he is then Shattenkirk is the odd guy out.

 

[GregSirico]

Why?

I'd rather eat the money in dead cap space and give that roster spot to a new kid.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Buying out Smith for me is a MUST.

I feel, with the way our roster is currently constructed, that buying out Shatty makes more sense than buying out Smith.

Smith is versatile, Shatty is not. And we have 3 RHD now that are more or less locked in.

You don't have to give Smith a roster spot.

 

[GregSirico]

You don't have to give Smith a roster spot.

Unless we bury him in HFD.

 

[Matt4776]

Unless we bury him in HFD.

Is there a 4th line LW that we are drastically killing the development of by keeping him here?

 

[Thirty One]

Unless we bury him in HFD.

Yeah, I would prefer that to buying him out. I'd keep him for one season as the 14F/8D anyways.

 

[GregSirico]

Is there a 4th line LW that we are drastically killing the development of by keeping him here?

Yeah, ANYONE.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Guys please move to the new thread

 

[Matt4776]

Yeah, ANYONE.

Why are we paying 1.1M dollars when our young guys are coming up for 2nd contracts to buy him out when we don't need the space (either cap or roster space)?

It just seems ridiculously short-sighted to me.

 

[McRanger]

You don't have to give Smith a roster spot.

That's the good thing about Smith, the Rangers can put him anywhere. LD. RD. 4th line. 7th D in the press box. Hartford.

This isn't Staal who even if he didn't have a NMC would probably be getting minutes, potentially blocking this year or next.

Short of a bunch of blockbuster acquisitions that jam up the Rangers cap, buying out Smith makes zero sense.
