He's more than earned it. Good for him.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

meh. cheap, so fine

 

[Machinehead]

Good move by Drury to get this done before he has some weird run in the playoffs and everyone else notices.

 

[Rangers in 7]

drury getting vesey and him for so cheap is great business

 

[Lua]

Would much rather see him in our bottom six than the carousel of rotting corpses we've seen for as long as I've been a fan.

Happy for the guy.

 

[mrmovies779]

Another solid and cheap value resigning by Drury.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Oh....lovely.

Good for Brodz. Happy for signings like this.

Was at the game the other night and during warmups I saw him go over to his wife and little girl as he was coming off (maybe he had two? couldnt tell).

Sometimes you forget that these are real people. Thats great for him and his family. Earned. Knowing youll be in the NHL for 2 years anywhere, for tweener players like him - to me - is even better than seeing stars resigned.

He isn't lighting it up like has has in the AHL, but he's been a real plug and play guy who backchecks his ass of, doesnt hurt the team, doesnt take off a shift. He's found a nice home right now with the 3rd line. I've also seen some improvements with his game at this level.

Replaceable? Yeah sure. But the NHL is a very difficult league.

Good move, cost controlled depth, similar to Vesey. If he puts it together offensively, even marginally, this is great deal

 

[Vitto79]

Probably passes through waivers easier now lol

But he’s earned it

Jimmy at 800 k x2 was good too

 

[ReddestRum]

It's cheap and he's earned it. Not much more to say here.

 

[Guyute]

Well deserved contract for Jonny from Blaine

 

[nyr2k2]

Good move. Good depth, and like with Vesey, it also shows other depth players that they can earn a shot here, and then be rewarded for it.

 

[NYR Viper]

Very happy for him and he's been very effective.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

He’s been playing great hockey and has filled the 3rd line center roll with cuyle and KAkko very well. It’s one of our best lines. People need to stop trying to trade for a 3rd line center and giving up 1st rounders for players who are right in line with Brodz.
Drury seeing that we don’t need to replace something that is working. Glad some people here aren’t running the rangers.
good signing

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Its good to have cheap center depth.

Hes not exactly a checking center but man - if they could somehow rid themselves of Goodrow and replace him with this type of contract that opens up space for some more productive roster tooling

meh. cheap, so fine

Financial security for Brodz, on the other hand. Otherwise, it'd be more Hot Pockets lunches and dinners.

Meanwhile, 95% of HFNYR: We need to go get a 3C for Kakko and Cuylle.

Johnny Broadway >>> Mika

In fairness, if they did upgrade 3C, in a perfect world Brodz would be the 4C, so he'd still have a full time roster spot and dress.

Now if they can just find a way to move Goodrow out.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Text so my gif will publish,
Kevin bacon speaks for me in this regard

 

[Fitzy]

He’s the 13 or 14th forward on an ideal roster. Plays all positions, pp or pk.

Just don’t over use him

That line has been great. I wouldnt touch it. Jonny plays a solid two way game, has speed, pretty good on faceoffs and loves to shoot the puck

 

[kovazub94]

Congrats Brodz! Well earned and fully deserved!

 

[Unpredictable1]

Like what Brodz has done, like many already said he's earned it.

Great asset management by Drury and solid shot in the arm to Brodz saying we still want you here when Chytil returns.

 

[17futurecap]

Congrats to Jonny, well deserved, he will work for the team in some capacity once his career is over, and people will be mad.
