Clearing cap space for a TDL acquisition?

As a Penguins fan, I don't mind this. This weakens Flordia and it doesn't strengthen the Rangers to a worrisome extent.

It does though, Rangers got hunt plugged on a second line wing and Bread man still drop triples so I think if you plug Vatrano there it’s a huge difference

Hopefully a precursor to Chychrun or Lindholm

Not really. Vatrano been a healthy scratch a lot for us

Clearing room for a big fish.

Clearing cap space for Lindholm + Rakell

NICE!!!! Great pickup for a 4th.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'll take it. He's an upgrade over McKegg/Gauthier/Reaves.

They are clearing up cap space to add so you shouldn’t like it

This means Florida's about to make a big trade, I'm excited!

Kraken just confirmed that Gio is not playing tonight, despite his 1000th game celebration, good chance he gets moved as well. No way to be sure but Vatrano getting traded right after could be related.

A 4th? That's all? Lol

 

[BKarchitect]

Good bargain bin hunting for the Rangers, he’s a definite step up from much of the depth they’ve been trotting out this year.

And exciting for Panthers fans as this clearly looks like the precursor to something else…

 

[GAGLine]

Good deal for the Rangers.

 

[Anthony5967]

Good deal for the Rangers. A plug and play fire checker with ability that a team with elite depth was able to ship off. Smart move by Drury.

It doesn’t weeken the Panthers. The Panthers were fine when he was scratched for all that time. The move is obviously a precursor to something bigger. If that’s Giroux, it’s an upgrade, if it’s Giroux and a LD like Sanheim or Lindholm, then it’s a huge upgrade.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That's great value for the Rangers, good for them. He's a super solid 3rd liner.

 

[Sticksandsun]

Clearing room for Giroux/Giordano/ a couple of Ducks, it's a fine trade for NYR but it'll end up better for Florida as they're gonna use this space for something big.

 

[De Montreal]

He can score goals I heard

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Treat our boy Frankie well.

Why does NYR do this?

 

[Vitto79]

I like it for NYR
Florida gonna do more
