Trouba is better than Morrissey.
Lol, and I’ve been drinking all night!!

The Rangers never learn. You don't win cups by signing tons of players from outside the organization to huge deals.
How interesting is that? a leaf player due a raise in 3 years? Let's talk about that instead!Scares me a bit to think what Rielly will be worth.
Outside of exceptions like Marian Hossa or Chara, most teams don't win the cup by signing free agents to monstrous contracts.Except this isn't really true, lol.
Nah...it resets the bar is all. He isn't worth that at the moment and tthe deal likely doesn't look good for a few years. I think he is decent and I'm sure the Rangers will try him out against all the first lines in the league,so he will likely be very good there. Comparisons are sketchy at best anyway...let's see if the gamble pays off.Myers for 5 years at $6M age 29-34 as UFA. Trouba at 7 years $8M age 25-32 1RFA 6UFA years. A tier above offensively, defensively, and stronger skater. You'd be coo coo ca cha to favor the Myers contract over the Trouba contract from a value stand point. This is fair market value buying up 6 UFA years.
when has Rielly ever had a better season than Subbans Norris year, let alone 35% greater?
It's not sather anymore if that's who you meant by that old dude .8 mil
wow
who is the rangers GM? don't tell me is that old dude
But thats not true considering this last season there were far more goalsRielly's best season was 35% better (points) than Subban's highest year before signing to $9 M per, as stated (and he still has a few more years to top that).
Lol was true at the time but what steals by the end . ( well eberle fell off a bit but hall and nuge are great deals at 6 mill atm)Wrong.
Correct answer is Hall,RNH, and Eberle.
But thats not true considering this last season there were far more goals
Rielly isnt as good as this season, just like the other hundred career years arent

I'm sorry, did you just miss the rebuild we just went through? LolOutside of exceptions like Marian Hossa or Chara, most teams don't win the cup by signing free agents to monstrous contracts.

Im guessing you didn’t watch the NHL last year so Ill fill you inNot that you are making any sense but let's say scoring went up 35% (which it obviously didn't), what's 13% of the cap in a few more years time?
Let's also keep in mind how Rielly's offense has tracked versus PK at the same ages throughout their career:
18 - 0 Subban 0 Rielly
19 - 0 Subban 27 Rielly
20 - 2 Subban 29 Rielly
21 - 38 Subban 36 Rielly
22 - 38 Subban 27 Rielly
23 - 53 Subban 52 Rielly
24 - 60 Subban 72 Rielly
Im guessing you didn’t watch the NHL last year so Ill fill you in
Scoring was unsustainably high and out of the top-50 over 65% had career years
Does it make more sense now why Rielly’s anomaly of a season isnt as noteworthy as you think?
Why are we asking you in a few years? He is the 5th highest paid defenseman right now. He isn't even close to the 5th best.Don’t let quantitive data that excludes context and is cherry picked for a certain argument* get in the way of reason.
What makes him more than a 2nd pairing guy? The fact that he excelled in all situations first pairing minutes and put up 50 points while doing so?
Is he worth 8 million? I don’t know, ask me in a few years when the cap goes up and lesser defenders get higher AAV’s.
He’ll come in and be the Rangers number one defender and he’s only 25 and they bought UFA years out. It is a little higher than I’d like? Yes. Do I understand why they did it? Yes. He’s probably making a million more than I’d like. Is that going to kill the Rangers if he continues to do what he did last year, which he has a chance to continue to do? Absolutely not.
Get over yourself.
The guy has a life outside of hockey , I don't see the problem that he didnt want to sign long term when his fiance is important to him and wants to live with her in the states .Its literally what everyone suspected the term would be at the time of the trade.
You either like the player or you don't, but the Rangers paid market value for the player.
If they didn't want this term, they wouldn't have made the trade. I'm just happy the player was actually serious about signing. He messed around with Winnipeg for years and probably should've been traded sooner.
I disliked him very much for this. I hope he makes me love him now. It's actually kind of crazy that this man is a NY Ranger with the posts I made about him during his contract squabbles.
