Waived: Stu Bickel(Cleared);assigned to AHL

[Richter Scale]

Yayyyyyy! Torts can't play him anymore!

 

[Kane One]

So who's making these moves? Is it all up to Gorton or is Sather on a phone telling him what to do?

 

[Kershaw]

Yes! Dreams do come true!

I would believe Sather is behind it. That'd be kind of ****ed up if Gorton just took over and did whatever the **** he wanted because he's the interim GM. This is Sather's team.

Torts was playing him?

 

[wolfgaze]

I can't wait to see what Fasth can do. I'm telling you I think he's going to be a good player for us.

Hopefully he can stay healthy.

I would think if there is a trade coming or something else that this was being planned. This most likely isn't happening out of nowhere.

Hey Glen, by the way, while you were in surgery for prostate cancer I waived two guys. Cool?

I can just see Gorton (who looks like a very friendly/agreeable person) growing a goatee, stroking it, laughing maniacally.

Or Sather via skype from the hospital like a modern version of the manager from Major League.

Ok, officially I think we're making a move.

Brian Boyle to NHL team for 3rd liner with grit like Pouliot (example) and defensive physical dman (24-28 years old future mentor for McILrath) im hoping for a Mark Sturart Brendan Smith type of Dman

 

[3rdlineglory]

it would be like Christmas all over again. If not he is in CT the rest of the yr I hope

IF they are stuck with him next yr this would ensure Haley is on the team atleast as a spare or they have some wasted cap space if both are down

Would they count? I thought it was cap hits higher than 925,000 that count against the cap.

 

[3rdlineglory]

I think I missed out on a new waiver rule from the new CBA. But I'm noticing that teams are no longer liable for half the cap hit of players that they waived and got claimed by some other team.

 

[ImIdaho]

There goes our grit and passion.

pretty sure that is just the amount of money you can place in the AHL total. So guys on one way NHL deals

so if they put down both Haley and Bickel they would be over the allowed total and the difference counts on the NHL cap

if that made sense

 

[Glennsoe]

Zuccarello's European agent approves of this.

Oh ok, now I get it.

LMFAO!! What a joke, are you kidding me!.. One mistake on the ice an he is G.O.N.E..... torts will send him to bulgaria.....

This kid should NOT play till Torts is fired,.,..

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

There goes our grit and passion.

McIlrath will replace him soon enough

 

[KingWantsCup]

When do we waive Torts?

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

2 years ago i warned this board that Torts would make this team a mess with no toughness at all.. Bickel is a guy i know sucked and did nothing at all to help the rangers but he stood up for his team and did anything need to be a Ranger. The Rangers are by far the softest team i have ever seen since i started watching them in the early 1970's.. Torts is a sham and a phony and now good luck with Krieder /miller and others playing without a policemen in a conferance with Carkner/Boulton/Thornton/Lucic/Prust/Orr/Fraser/ and tons more. a F'ing disgrace

I would think Boogard dying, Dubs being garbage, John too tall and Stu too awful being terrible hockey players, Rupp being bad, prust wanting too much money and Asham being hurt took our toughness away

 

[aufheben]

So long Stu. I'll forever cherish the memory of you playing 3~ minutes in a 3OT playoff game.

 

[nyrpassion]

Yayyyyyy! Torts can't play him anymore!

I think he can if he isn't claimed right? I'm pretty sure that happend a few years back with...damn forgot his name haha

That memory will last a lifetime.
