I think Gorton played this one wrong. A team suspension would have given the Rangers more flexibility and trade leverage than waiving him and announcing he’s played his last game as a Ranger.

I've said the same since day #1. Played this all wrong. Gorts literally took away all value for a player that he could have gotten a nice return for. HUGE mismanagement of a quality asset.

I think if they suspended him that would effect his pay. He would probably be able to open a grievance at that point. As is I think he is officially just a taxi member who is a healthy scratch and the only argument he could make is that the others in that category get to practice and he does not.

Supposedly they’ve been open to trading him for a while. I think if a nice return was a possibility even before all this drama, he wouldn’t have been on the team this year

They did.

The board wouldn't have liked the offers and without the knowledge of what eventually happened, would've had a meltdown.

The concept of moving ADA, and where some of the discussions led, are not mysteries to HF Boards.

Out of curiosity and if you don’t mind me asking what was the best offer? If you’re not allowed to say no biggie.

If they wanted to trade him they should have done so before re-signing him

Calgary deals got the furthest. The teams seriously discussed a couple of scenarios but basically left off with a Buch/ADA for Monahan/Hanifin discussion.

Frankly, Calgary still isn’t out with ADA. But I think more teams want to at least let things cool down a bit first, if they’re even going to pull the trigger.

This is the concept that was discussed over the summer correct, not recently?
 
You don't bring someone back into the room who clearly disregarded every warning he ever had from the upper management of this team.

The media was going to blow it up, Gorts knew he was totally boxed in. No cover up was going to happen.

Gorts did the right thing no matter how much it stings.

Funny thing is we gave up a 2nd rounder to Detroit to cap dump Staal in order to fit DeAngelo, instead they should have traded DeAngelo, not signed Johnson and kept Staal. But they had so much swagger from winning 1st overall that they don't care about asset management.

Like it or not the part where he won't play for the Rangers again I'm pretty sure is resolved. There really isn't a credible way to go back on that decision. To me he's a situational player. In the right situations he can be an asset. In the wrong situations he is a negative---for instance even if he did come back he's not a guy who could ever help us on the penalty kill.

As for what we might get by moving him---I'm not sure it's going to happen and if it doesn't we'll buy him out in the summer.

It would have been better anyway if that's how it went down.
