GDT: Free Agent Frenzy

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

So right now, with 19 players on the roster, we have $11.55M.

and the 4 RFAs round us out with 23. yay.

Rangers recognized that the PK and lack of speed were problems and addressed that today, all while staying away from overpriced big names. A+ day up til now for me.

They addressed the PKing forwards, but the defense was a major issue on the PK. Not sure they can fix that.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Has Vanek been signed?

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Is that including QO's?

Nope.

 

[BBKers]

It does take two to make a trade. The Rangers management were confident enough to think they could make some key changes to the core of the team. I don't think you read my post, so I'll try again. It's good the Rangers aren't trading guys away just for the sake of making trades. It's bad that they thought they could do something and have not been able to pull it off.

Let me ask you this. Would you tell people what your plans are if you weren't confident you could pull them off? No, and i wouldn't either. It's a worry. Is it a major worry 2 hours into free agency? No. (as I said in earlier post that I'm not sure you read) I wish the Rangers said nothing after the season. Now they have to explain how and why things didn't work out.

A lot of time between now and opening night.

I like your posts
So true the bolded part

In the past few days, yes we have been named as one of the interested teams with a handful of others.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Nah just a rumor but that's a crazy rumor if true.

That's why I was asking lol. Wow. Would be NUTS

 

[BLOCKERSAVE]

Why is the TSN FA tracker saying Colborne got 2 years at 5 million per?

Is that a error? He's worth 5m per?

 

[TheLowKreider]

Rangers Twitter will absolutely be calling them out bringing "soft" players in. #toffnuss

 

[Gardner McKay]

5 million total.

I completely understand your point, but if they didn't say anything after the last two games against the Pens, there would have been protests outside the Garden. I think adding Buch and Skjei and completely changing the bottom 6 is a big a change. It might not be a sexy change but it is pretty significant. Gorton never said they were trading Nash or Step, the media did.

As much as I hate the Neanderthal, I think he'd be a fantastic add for the right price!

 

[cwede]

Avs signed 3 guys I thought NYR might consider - Tyutin, Colborne, Wiercioch

 

[Filip Chytil]

Must be an error. They're saying 2 years, 10 total million with a 5 million cap hit. Must be an error on TSN's part unless Sakic is just completely drunk.

Get a room!

 

[Tawnos]

5 million total.

Drives me crazy that they ever report things that way. Literally no one cares about the total dollars and literally everyone cares about the AAV.

elsewhere it says 2x$2.5 for Colborne

 

[TheDirtyH]

would love to move staal and replace him with a dirt cheap Wizniewski.

Wiz-McI would be a fearsome 2nd pairing

 

[Filip Chytil]

Yeah TSN just updated it. Now they have it right.
