What's Ryan Lindgren's next contract look like (RFA)? if its under $5M for 4-5 years, NYR probably keeps him. If its over $5M for any length I'd deal him for 2 2nds.
Lindy wants deserves more than the 3 per sweetheart deal he already gave us.
We all see what he is.
Only negative is how much wear and tear he has taken.
The only negative.
imo he is reliable 2-ish yrs, after that, bucking the odds on wear and tear
I say 4 yrs 4.5
Ristolainen with 50% retention for a 7th. His heavy game and big hits will thrill the Salt Lake City fans.
Risto still brings the heft, but he was never a good power skater for at least decent speed and if he isn't a python by now, color me shocked!
What would it take to get K'Andre Miller. NYR are tight on cap space and he should get a raise next year. They are also without picks in the 2nd and 3rd for the next few years. I think BA would like a young kid with some size. What would Utah need to package for him? Sign Pesce and trade for Miller and that would improve the teams D alot.
KAM is not available at almost any price.
Appreciate yr interest and w/yr overture, being polite + friendly pls consider my reply warmly offered.
KAM is a foundation piece.
Rs should have listened to me and offered him 50-ish mil for 8 yrs instead of a small bridge and adding drek like Bonino. It will cost them more to extend long term now.
We do have tight cap issues, but we are resolving them, imo, by
- first unloading Trouba and recovering most of his 8m
- then no later than end of next season, bread will not sniff 11.6+ and as good as he's been, we need to pump back into youth/depth.
We are hoping Scanlin will compete for a spot at 3LD, learn the ropes, and best case scenairo, that is yr replacement to pair w/Fox. We have Fortescue [sp?] knocking the door the following season. Gust. can help hold the fort 1 yr if nec
Harpur has size, and if he skates ok, he's fine
Robertson should be a KAM mold style guy that for us, but mgmt never gave him a chance.
Go figure.
So we need to go younger and cheaper,
make a decent offer for a package and we can do both Lindgren + Robertson
Jonas Siegenthaler can be yours today!
Siggy is not a bad idea at the right #
Lindgren’s next contract is probably right around 5 years at 5-5.5 per year. It makes sense for the Rangers to move on considering the amount they have committed to Fox and Trouba, as well as both Miller and Schneider getting extensions in the near future.
I imagine the Rangers would ask for a 1st of some kind, but wouldn’t be surprised if the dust settled on something like 2 2nds.
Not that long ago, he commanded a late 1st
now it is a 2nd +.
can we all live w/Lindgren + Robertson + nyr 4th for two 2nds + a 3rd?
The Coyotes got two 2nd rounders from NYR for taking on Patrick Nemeth. It will be kind of funny to flip those same two picks back to NYR in exchange for Lindgren.
I believe in God, and that He has a sense of humor.
I think He allows karma to have it as well
