One week.

The waiting is almost over!

What does he mean that veterans can't change their numbers?

 

[SA16]

I believe he means that their numbers must remain the same.

Thank you.

Fast and the 90 million times he's had to change his number were only because the team made him do it.

 

[Thirty One]

Why did he have to switch from 91?

Is this the Rangers' rule? The league's? Is it new? I have questions.

They also made him change his name.

"Son you're not a sniper, change your number to something more on brand."

 

[Thirty One]

"Son you're not a sniper, change your name to something more on brand."

17 is low-key sniperish.

17 is low-key sniperish.

To me 17 feels like responsible two-way forward who will take your daughter out to dinner and bring her back before curfew.

Did not get that vibe from Dubinsky at all

 

[Hire Sather]

Jesper Fast as 91 was straight up disrespectful

 

[bobbop]

Huge mistake not to sign M Stone for at or slightly above 700 k. He had interest but management balked. Oh well, like Drury said...

@BBKers, if this is correct, this is a big miss. Stone, when healthy, is a good hockey player. This really surprises me. He would have made a lot of sense for the Rangers.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Lemieux signs.

 

[SA16]

Mike Stone doesn't score much himself, has had under a 50 CF% six years in a row (excluding this past season where he played 14 games - and also bad relative to team numbers), and has also been a below 50% GF% player every year of his career outside of his rookie season. He doesn't play on the PP, doesn't get heavy defensive usage and has awful penalty killing results. How is this a big deal?

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Peer pressure, Tony D

 

[Kovalev27]

Smart move kid

 

[nyr2k2]

If the same $925K offer is on the table for DeAngelo, I hope he takes it. It's a $50K bump from the QO, and seems reasonable given the totality of the circumstances. Take the deal, show what you can do, and you can clean up in arbitration a year from now.

Peer pressure, Tony D

"I dunno Tone. Alls im saying is that maybe getting that same money as the angry french kid wouldn't be so bad"

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Which is honestly 99% about politics, and is ridiculous either way.

I have students each year who legitimately think Stalin did no wrong, doesn't mean I give them **** grades for no reason.

I mean, @Fitzy, if they think this, isn’t it a pretty good sign they don’t understand the material and therefore deserve a shit grade?

He's Mike f***in Stone that's how.

I don't get it either. He's terrible.

 

[Ola]

So is this Quinn’s lines for TC (going by the groups):

Panarin-Ziba-Buch
Kreider-Chytil-Kakko
Lemieux-Howden-Fast (Kravy?)
Lias-Strome-Namestnikov

 

[Vitto79]

@BBKers, if this is correct, this is a big miss. Stone, when healthy, is a good hockey player. This really surprises me. He would have made a lot of sense for the Rangers.

He would be the 4th rd . DeAngelo will sign

He would also be the 8th D which they can’t even fit under the cap . Just let Smith be the spare and call up a kid if an injury happens
