Despite the charges, he's still a really good defender. Thoughts?

f*** no

To elaborate, he seems the opposite of what the FO is trying to do (character), so I doubt the rumor anyway.

I don't care. If he can help the team, so be it. I'd rather win with team of ****heads than lose with a team of nice guys.

Sign him to a 2 year deal, eat 50% and trade him at the deadline to a contender. Win win. We don't keep him on the team very long and we get assets for a free player.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Only way I'd do this is as Gardner said, sign him as a trading chip for the deadline. Even though it still kinda stains the team.

 

[cwede]

i dont like it, it would be a distraction for the team and the player,
he should go somewhere less intense

 

[Mac n Gs]

The Kings retained his rights so we can’t sign him.

Secondly, f*** Slava Voynov.

 

[Bob Richards]

This guy can f*** off into the chasm of the deepest latrine pit.

f*** no.

This.

Is this the same article from a while back or is this new info from a seperate source

Also, no

 

[nyr2k2]

Nah, pass. The team is trying to emphasize character, and while you can debate the virtues of that philosophy, it's what they're doing. Acquiring Voynov would run counter to that plan.

Beyond that, f*** that guy. I have no problem filling my fantasy teams with the shitheads of the world, but not the teams I root for in real life. I don't like bringing on these guys (Reyes/Mets sucked on a number of levels) and I'd really rather Voynov get his second chance elsewhere.

Hey, this article is dated April 23--this is not new. This shouldn't be a new thread.

 

[Fvital92]

There are always rumors we're in every FA possible, at this point I think they just use the Rangers to drive up the price.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Didn't Daly recently release a statement along the lines of Voynov not being cleared to return to the league?

Don't know how to properly embed tweets. Just says that an NHL spokesman confirmed that Voynov has not been reinstated.

He clearly is an asshole but I wonder why Adrian Peterson and Dany Heatley still had massive fanbases but Voynov's name is effectively dirt now.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I dont care if hes a really good dman I dont want that human piece of trash wearing a Rangers jersey also Daley just said he hasnt been cleared iirc

 

[Don Chytil]

He clearly is an ******* but I wonder why Adrian Peterson and Dany Heatley still had massive fanbases but Voynov's name is effectively dirt now.

Really? Please don't compare what Voynov did to what Heatley did. He's more than just an "asshole".

 

[East Coast Bias]

Trade for his rights, then bury him and work with local officials so he is never issued a VISA again.

Voynov beat up his wife, badly.

Heatley committed manslaughter.

Your judgement is askew.

Your judgement is askew.

Manslaughter, by definition, is not done with intent. Heatley and Snyder both made a very stupid decision that ended tragically.

If Voynov's girlfriend had died from her injuries, it would of been murder.

Heatley was also devestated, and he continually reached out to Snyder's family, and that got people on his side a little more over time. Aside from some cliche answers to cliche questions, Voynov hasn't appeared to be frought with guilt.
