GDT: Free Agency 2019

[BBKers]

The current cap pains are soon to be a memory. New ones will certainly appear. Hockey is different here

Okay enough with your dropping of hints

 

[Leetch3]

Maybe signing Panarin had more complications than people are willing to admit?

mika was well on his way to a huge next contract. he didn't need panarin's help

 

[Fitzy]

Windows are a stupid concept. You predefine a period where a team can win based on today's knowledge and the little you can predict about tomorrow. That's "the window". Then some unforseen things happen, some moves are made, the CBA changes, etc., and it all goes out the ****ing window. Discussion of windows is all conjecture.

Ever we seek to oversimplify reality for the purposes of arrogantly satisfying our desire to feel greater degrees of confidence about the complex world around us.

Always my frustrations with terms such as windows, competitors, and generational players.

 

[Hire Sather]

Hank, Staal, Smith, Shitty coming off before anyone else needs to be paid.

Fail to see how the window will be only 3 years

 

[Avery16]

The Rangers window hasn't even opened yet. Kakko and Kravtsov haven't even played a game in the NHL yet and we don't know exactly what caliber of players we have for the majority of the team.
There's still lots of question marks around players like Chytil, Howden, Kravtsov, Fox, etc. Let's just enjoy the ride for now and watch how they develop.

It’s a little late for that, buddy.

 

[Leetch3]

no I think that was always going to be a question with Zibanejad. Sign him or let him walk, etc. Always going to be an evaluation of where the team was at at that point

my ideal scenario would be to land a future 1C in the 2020 draft...have that kid slots behind zib and then in a few years when that kid is ready to be the #1 it gives you to stick with the 1-2 punch or move out zib while he's still good...

 

[Avery16]

That is a preposterous statement

Welp, that’s what’s happened.

Contenders is my favorite invisible line.

If so, then panarin isn’t expected to be a significant part of it, and his cap hit serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever.

 

[mas0764]

Because of our recent signing, our window is likely over in three years. Zib can be a TDL rental.

This isn't at all likely to be true.

 

[Off Sides]

So windows are dumb, yet when the Rangers were renting every year that was something people supported, right?

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

You really think this team will be bad enough to land a top 5 pick next season? I think the lose for_____ or suck for________ ship has sailed.

That’s a nice plan. There was also a plan to get that player in this past draft, but Edmonton and Colorado didn’t give a rat’s ass about that plan.

As crazy as it sounds, and I know there are major cap problems with this idea that would need to be addressed, I think the rangers need to put an offer out there for Gusev.

confirming Lundqvist to be traded eh

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Why?

We're pretty loaded on the wings. That money is better utilized elsewhere.

If they had/have a plan to move a bunch of cap space that is for sure gonna happen it's worth a look...but it is another winger. Like, I wouldn't be trading Buchnevich just to sign Gusev or something

Classic comedy!

Letestu signed with the Jets

I fail to see how adding another skilled wing the Rangers ‘need’ to do.

Part of what?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

 

[RGY]

Sounds like he was of interest.

Move Namestnikov, contract slot now open for Boyle
