GDT: Free Agent Frenzy/2013 Offseason Thread: Part VII: OMGZZZ SATHER DO SOMETHING

[RangerBoy]

LeBrun wrote last night MTL wanted to do a short term deal with Clowe but wanted a longer term. MTL is looking to get bigger. They really wanted Bickell because Bergevin and Rick Dudley worked for the Hawks. They knew Bickel from Chicago. MTL liked Clowe last season too. How much did Lou give Clowe?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Lol @ Clarkson rumors. Richards contract sounds like a steal and it's awful lol

Friedman: "I've heard rumblings on offer sheets to Bogosian, Pietrangelo. Curious to see if offer sheets end up being a factor." #NHL

That would be interesting. Would Philly make another crazy one to Pietrangelo?

Ran into ex-Leaf Dominic Moore over here at Wimbledon. Definitely looking at getting back into NHL after yr off following death of his wife.

I don't buy that Boyle will be traded, obviously if there is a deal too good to pass up sure, but No Hags and Cally to start the season, Powe will most likely start the season in Hartford. That is 3 penalty killers right there, Boyle is our second best PK forward behind Cally and the best on faceoffs, he will not be moved regardless of if we sign Moore or Lapierre, especially since Boyle can play center and wing. Boyle will play 3rd line center this year, this is a contract year for him, I expect to see a lot more of the Boyle we saw in the playoffs in the regular season if he wants to be back here next year.

I think Stepan's a better PKer. Stepan at least can generate some short handed offense.

So they added Danny Briere.

I think they'll end up overpaying for someone like Stalberg.

 

[NYR Viper]

Wow RT @TSNBobMcKenlze It's official the Detroit Red Wings have signed Daniel Alfredsson.

Say what?

Edit: It's a fake.....

That was from Andrew Gross

With the half a million they have in space?

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

They have 500k in cap space and one goalie on the roster. Even after they put Pronger on LTIR, that's not enough cap space to find another goalie and make an offer to Pietrangelo that won't be matched.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Another confirmation of Moore wanting to play again.

I doubt it will be here. Didn't he trash our organization saying we hindered his growth, etc.

 

[slipknottin]

If Richards was a FA this offseason he would get eleventy billion dollars annually.

I'd be thrilled with adding Moore and resigning Eminger and no other moves.

Fake.

He was interested last year coming here if he played

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I wonder what Richards would have gotten if we bought him out lol

 

[TheRightWay]

Five+ years and two coaching regimes have passed since that happened. I don't think he's holding any grudges.

 

[The Gloaming]

Toronto would have probably given him $8m/year for 7 years.

 

[RangerBoy]

The Flyers were interested in Richards if the Rangers had bought him out.

 

[The Gloaming]

of course they were. Another forward to go with their group of one-dimensional forwards.

Already talk of offer sheets
Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 6m
Another interesting angle: will there be offer sheets on RFAs. With cap going down, inability to hide $ in minors, teams may be vulnerable.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 38s
@TSNBobMcKenzie. Already talk of offer sheets among teams with space. Pietrangelo, Bogosian, Little, Bailey, Henrique, Hamonic...

Oh boy, hope Sather can get McD, Step, and Hags done quickly. Imagine if Toronto OS'ed Steps. Not good.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

Are the Rangers even entertaining extending the captain this offseason? I don't think I'm alone in wanting to see #24 raised to the rafters at some point.

Uh.

He's got a LONG LONG LONG way and a LOT to prove before I'd even think about considering raising #24 to the rafters......hard-working strong ranger but, rafters? as of now, no...

I have been pushing for Moore back on Broadway for a while now. Perfect 3rd/4th line center for us.

Maybe I'm just a big homer, but I think McDonagh would be arguably the 2nd best player if thrown into the group above. I'd be surprised if he wasnt vulnerable to an offer sheet. He may not be a shiny point scoring defenseman, but he is one of the top shut down D in the league already at his young age. And Stepan and Hagelin too. Is Bailey really more attractive of a player than Step and Hags?

I dont know if this has been discussed here, but at what cost/compensation would you be comfortable losing those players.
For Stepan and McD, I wouldnt want to lose them obviously but it would hurt if we didnt get at least two 1st round picks back.
Hagelin I would like a 1st and 3rd as compensation if we had to lose him (for a former 6th round pick that would be a nice return, although Id obviously hate to lose him too)
