Speculation: Friedman: Offer sheet for Brayden Point

[Leetch3]

I guess you are assuming Zucc signs with Dallas?

doesn't matter. offer sheet compensation has to be your own pick which carolina has

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Friedeklundman

I haven’t said anything about it but I’ve been thinking for a while now that this is a possibility. Based off nothing but with EF reporting Rangers being involved with offer sheets in two separate 31 thoughts makes me think there might be something to this. Our rebuild would basically be complete if we could land him (and/or Panarin) and in 2 or so years we’d be on track to be legit contenders. I would be happy with this move

Our rebuild won’t be complete unless we have a true #1 dman. Sending 4 picks for a center is not going to help in that regard.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

No pls

 

[Leonardo87]

Yeah this is not the direction the Rangers want to go in. Also, Point is not a 90 point player here or any other team. Hard pass.

Friedman trying to get more clicks.

 

[Lion Hound]

Nooooooo!

 

[Edge]

Panarin is within the realm of possibility.

Maybe even Trouba.

Point I just don’t see.

I can’t envision them giving up multiple firsts, including what will likely be a lottery pick next season as well.

I still think the end game is to try and make some noise at this draft, and put an exclamation point on things at the next draft.

 

[Crease]

A pile of firsts is not worth the privilege of overpaying for an RFA. You're better off trading for an RFA after he's been extended.

 

[Trxjw]

Ehhh. Some context is important here. Friedman said that if the Rangers were going to be in on one of the big RFA names that it would be Point and it'd have to be 4 firsts to get it done. He didn't say it's a rumor or even that it's likely.

 

[Riche16]

Why is this a thread????

Most of the posters here know more about hockey and the cap and the BUSINESS than he does if he thinks the NYR can

A) offer sheet anyone unless it’s for a massive overpay of picks

Or

B) Would offer sheet and risk 4 1st

This is nothing. Close thread for stupidity.

 

[bl02]

please no and no Malkin either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

My feeling is that the information he’s working on is “the Rangers want to do something big this offseason.” He said as much when Sather stepped down and added that he’s heard that plan hasn’t changed, I just don’t think he actually knows what it may be

 

[Machinehead]

Not worth it. One season wonder that fed off a bloated roster.

 

[I Eat Crow]

No.

 

[Irishguy42]

please close or merge into roster building thread

 

[DaBadGuy7]

Yea, I’m gonna hope this isn’t true. I don’t want Panarin either, but rather stomach his contract over a EK contract.

 

[Greg02]

Theoretically, they could hit the four first rounder condition on something like a seven year deal at $7.5 million a year.

 

[McRanger]

I was just thinking the Rangers could use another offensive RD.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Yea, I’m gonna hope this isn’t true. I don’t want Panarin either, but rather stomach his contract over a EK contract.

Been saying this all along. If the Rangers are going for a free agent, Karlsson makes more sense as far as filling a team need than Panarin does.

If the term and dollars make sense a la Shattenkirk he's coming here. I wouldn't give him a 7 year contract. 4 or 5 at a less than market value deal? Absolutely.
