If he rebounds, he could be decent, but he seemed cooked last year.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

So what are we now, the home of wayward former Rangers?

I mean, fine, I guess. He's cheap.

acquire all rongos

 

[poobags]

For a second I thought I was on the main board and was thinking "huh who signed him"

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

We’re following Tampa’s lead in building a team of former Rangers.... worked for them with 2 cups...

So this is our Top 9 Forward then? I am still hoping we can make a trade to upgrade our Top 6.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I can't keep track of all the cheap marginal players and have no idea if we have any actual money left to spend or not.

I wouldn't think he'd be seen more than bottom 6 depth, but I guess we'll see. If they really felt we were a couple forwards short the other day, hopefully we can still get one more significantly better forward.

After this signing we have like 11ish mil left on the cap. Capfriendly hasnt updated yet.

Pierre McGuire was a fixture on Ottawa radio in the mornings before getting his new gig.

Last year he was adamant that Stepan was cooked and had lost a step big time.

I don't see how this fits into the Canes skate em into the ground philosophy

Keep picking up old Rangers and eventually they are bound to find Aragorn.

If this were like 4-5 years in the past this would be more exciting. To be fair though his last teams were Ottawa and Arizona so yeah...

This whole offseason looks like 4-5 years in the Canes past. Lots of “budget” guys coming in, lots of cap room.

This is my main thinking. Try a reclamation project on a guy that might be energized by coming to a good team. Hopefully it works out for us.

Maybe JR is part of the borg in an advisory role hmmmmm?

We recycle everything else, why not a GM, too.

The "Third Man" (goalie) is Henrik Lundqvist, isnt it?

You can't turn down that kind of man pretty.

I’m sure we can find a less stellar goalie that played for the Rangers.

 

[Zezima]

Cedric Paquette replacement with a little more offense? Don't see him anywhere other than the 4th line. Does he PK?

Colored me un-impressed

Suddenly I feel much better about this deal.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I don’t know which hole this fills.

4C, Lorentz to wing, Leivo to press box?
