Rangers make their first move

Damn I liked Dorsett but that's good that we got another pick now.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Gonna miss Dorse, but this is a good move.

Good guy, but too small and can't win a fight. Gotta get bigger.

 

[nyrleetch]

Frees up some $$$ does this mean Carcillo has a shot to be resigned or more likely promote from within or free agency.

 

[NYR Viper]

That is about what I thought his value was at. They must have other ideas or they like Bourque.

 

[haohmaru]

Fine with me.

Saw this trade coming. Been spouting a Dorsett trade for months.

Good guy and role player, was hoping for a 2nd rounder, but given the impact on the cap the Rangers get with this deal a 3rd is good value.

Rangers get cap relief, gain a pick, and get to upgrade their roster.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

WOW. Great value for Dorsett. I thought he'd net us a 5th.

 

[JimmyG89]

1.6 for a 4th liner who was not PKing. Good value there.

 

[Glennsoe]

Good player, will be missed...

The night is still young...

 

[Championship*]

Liked Dorse. Rangers best 4th line in years is essentially gone right now. Please re-sign Dom.

 

[hi]

A wild $1.6 million in cap space appears

 

[Joey Bones]

Good guy, but too small and can't win a fight. Gotta get bigger.

Agreed

 

[RangerBoy]

$1,633,333 is too much for a 4th liner. Dorsett wasn't used on the PK after returning from the broken leg. Too much money.

Teams inquired about Dorsett at the trade deadline.

 

[NYR Viper]

1.6 for a 4th liner who was not PKing. Good value there.

He was PKing until he got hurt. He is a PKer. AV decided to use St Louis and Nash on the PK. Not all coaches would choose to do that

 

[Ian]

Dorsett finally played like he was hyped up to be towards the end of the season, but 1.6m is way too much to spend on a 4th liner who shouldn't be a main option on the PK.

Good asset management (for once).

 

[NYR Viper]

I am pretty sure this is nothing more than a cap move but I am happy they are finally ADDING picks instead of moving them away

 

[Joey Bones]

More cap room for Stralzy now. Carcillo might be resigned. Could also mean call up for one of the younger guys.

 

[jBuds]

Good deal

“@PLeonardNYDN: Derek Dorsett is getting married tomorrow, but not as a Ranger. As a Canuck”

Ouch...

 

[Mikos87]

That is about what I thought his value was at. They must have other ideas or they like Bourque.

My guess is some versatility gets added into that slot. Could be anyone from a Joe Vitale, Steve Bernier, or Jesper Fast. I welcome the upgrade. No point in having a guy that is going to lose momentum if he drops the mitts.

Salary relief is a huge plus for a 3rd round pick for a player that can be upgraded on.

 

[Bluenote13]

Nice, another 3rd rounder.
