As I alluded to in the mega thread, not a fan. That said, he has some tools, so I'll give him a chance - but I expect very little.

 

[Son of Steinbrenner]

It better be for $1M. This is a guy who the Rangers have to be able to bury in the minors if he plays like he has the last 3 seasons.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Hope it's a Hartford/13th forward deal.

 

[Cassano]

Dat speed.

Less than a mil or it's a bad move.

So the Rangers CAN bury him for a $100K cap hit....That's as much confidence I have in this move.

Not a fan of this move or the management team in general with their moves after the cup run.

Really only 2 bad seasons

9-14-23 in 47 post lockout for Hawks was not bad
Liked him as TML prospect at Vermont, and he even had a 20 goal season for CBH

Not sure why he flopped at Nashville, but under 2 different coaches, that is a red flag

 

[Trxjw]

Speed and size, but he's another bottom six forward. This seems fishy.

 

[nyr2k2]

He's been a productive player before. If he can do 15-15 and bring speed, it's a reasonable deal.

 

[TheTakedown]

Less than a mil or it's a bad move.

1.1 is not bad... if you bury him its < 250k cap charge

 

[Vitto79]

Rather it be 900 k but hey he's got talent and it's the type of guy they gave to bring in cheap

 

[Hire Sather]

People ripping a 1 year deal for 1.1 mill. Amazing stuff.

Depth forward. Adds to the chances Glass is dealt. Chill.

 

[eco's bones]

He can be buried if he's not working out. Honestly I like this signing better than any of the others.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Does he have a ****ing pulse?

He can play over Glass.

Really not the deal to get worked up over.

 

[Hire Sather]

Does he PK?

 

[RegalRangers]

Great signing. Low risk / high reward.

 

[Inferno]

no problem with this deal.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Great for fourth line!

 

[we want cup]

Feels like a long time since I've seen him play. He's alright defensively, right?

 

[Matz03]

I don't get where he fits in, decent size but does he still have the speed? Anyone know if he can kill penalties? He doesn't see to be a 4th liner, good size but wanted some grit there.
