Would we be able to get a 2 year deal out of him?
There are a ton of good teams needing goalies out there. Someone probably offers him 4-5.

I love Greiss just as much as anyone else around here, but I think you're grossly overrating the goalie market for him. Goalies in their mid-30's do not get long term deals unless it's a Lundqvist retirement type of deal. He got low end starter money in his current deal and he's been around for a while so he's made pretty good money and carved out a pretty nice career. I will thank him for everything he's done and appreciate his time as an Isle, I'm not going to bet on him being the next Tim Thomas.
Varlamov-Sorokin is the future and it will start next season. Varlamov is responding well to Korn/Greco and is off to a strong start. The 50/50 split should keep both guys fresh and the dynamic seems to be working, just like last year. Varlamov-Sorokin could net us our 3rd consecutive Jennings next year to carry on the tradition...
We should know no later than 1/15 if Sorokin is coming according to one of the KHL guys
You will not be taken seriously by anyone, anywhere, saying “irregardless”.
My concern would be signing a guy who is 34 to a 3 or 4 year deal
Greiss probably comeback on a one or two
When a sentence ends with quotation marks, the period is placed within the quotation.
That is not necessarily true. In England, and I assume Canada as well, the punctuation in this instance would be placed outside the quotes.When a sentence ends with quotation marks, the period is placed within the quotation.
Yeah, I don't think he wants to leave this situation. He looked like he was close to a nervous breakdown a couple of seasons ago with the bad defense. Lehner would come back too.
Freshwater or saltwater? That's important.Varlamov and Sorokin are fishing buddies

You did read that I said n England right?Grammarly.com
Commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks in American English; dashes, colons, and semicolons almost always go outside the quotation marks; question marks and exclamation marks sometimes go inside, sometimes stay outside.

There is no fresh water in russia. Just lake water with variating amounts of oil, radiation and toxic waste.Freshwater or saltwater? That's important.
That's good. LI is great for saltwater fishing.There is no fresh water in russia. Just lake water with variating amounts of oil, radiation and toxic waste.
Yes, and I appreciate the info. The grammar cop and I aren't in England.
pip pip!
Maybe Ladd will be appointed the new Islanders Fishing Consultant.Freshwater or saltwater? That's important.
‘Irregardless’ contains ‘irr’ as a prefix and ‘less’ as a suffix. It is a double negative. It is objectively wrong. It has nothing to do with grammar.
Keep digging, though.
As long as he wants to sign for not more than 2 years.Agreed. Greiss has been solid his entire tenure here (outside the one year with Weight). He’s definitely earned another extension
I don't think a team is ever going to sign their star goalie to a Lundqvist-lock em up for 8 years until he's 42YO again.I love Greiss just as much as anyone else around here, but I think you're grossly overrating the goalie market for him.

The Rangers signed Lundqvist on the heels of losing in the Finals, where quite frankly, he was fantastic. At that time the Rangers seemed to have a foundation in place that was in a win now mode. Too bad for them their window closed faster than they anticipated for a variety of reasons.I think this deal was done as more of a thank you for Lundqvist. I don't know if they actually expect him to continue to play until he is in his 40s.
A buyout if certainly likely if he hits 40 and no longer wants to play. You don't see that many goalies like this anymore (in terms of loyalty).

It was risky to offer an older goalie a contract like Lundqvist's, but they were in no position to let him walk away in the same way we were in no position to let Johnny Boychuk walk away when we signed him to his current deal. It was as a reward/thank you/paying for past performances. Lucky for the Rags Lundqvist has been largely injury-free in his later years.
The only other goalie situation I can think of similar to the Rags is Montreal with Carey Price. He's 32 years old and signed for another 6 years at $10.5M per. I think that deal will be the last goalie deal of it's kind.
