I still can’t believe the Oilers traded him for Ryan f***ing Spooner.

f***ing Chia. I hope he continues to do well for you guys.

 

[nyr2k2]

Use him up for one more year and then deal him. Sounds good to me.

 

[qqaz]

I think this guy is underrated. More than just a product of Panarin. I think he could be a long term #2 C somewhere.

This is a fair deal, all around.

 

[themelkman]

Good for both I think. Ryan gets a nice number and a 2 year home, Rangers get a serviceable guy who fills a hole they cant fill anywhere else while they kill time developing the kids.

 

[TGWL]

I think our organization was hoping they came down to 4.1/4.2. The deal takes him to UFA status which I'm fine with. If he can put up 50 points next year it's a fair deal.

 

[CraigsList]

Great deal. Perfect short term deal that perfectly aligns with the re-signing of Zibanejad.

I mean the Rangers would be the perfect place for that. Young and upcoming and need a center, loaded with wingers to help carry the load. Most Ranger fans, including me, just don't see it though. Strome is okay, he's solid, but I don't think he can be locked into that role on a 'contender'.

 

[JT Kreider]

We are going to get all our RFA's signed even with some cap space to spare, so much for being in cap hell

 

[Calad]

Fine deal, especially for 2 years. I expect the Lemiuex domino to fall shortly now that they have Strome's number locked in.

Combined DeAngelo/Strome signing for way below 10 million annually. Can't complain.

I would be shocked if he didn't put up 55-65 points next year at minimum with most likely playing with Panarin or possibly Lafreniere some games if he Quinn changes up the lineup for whatever reason.
Hopefully take a few less penalties and improve on his defense a little.

Ya, I see that opinion a lot. By all accounts he's not a great defensive player. And he has seemed a little "disengaged" in the Rangers games I've seen. So I get it.

But the talent is there. And I love a good bounceback / late bloomer story.

He should be buying Panarin dinner for the rest of his life.

 

[SRHRangers]

Solid deal.

Question is, would this help or hurt my Quest for Toews in Manhattan now that Strome is a signed asset?

 

[Lempo]

Say what you will, @tarheelhockey , but in flat cap world, if UFAs command these amounts in two year contracts, I'm getting more and more happy about Foegele's 2.15M.

 

[Waivers]

Solid deal.

Strome would have to be on the way out somehow for that to still be a consideration.

This makes perfect sense.

Exactly my point

When I proposed last month, I didn't have Strome as an option due to FA. (I was giving up Kravtsov)

Just curious if it opens up new branches to it.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Solid deal for both sides. Rangers have a bunch of money that won’t be open tied down after this upcoming year and he expires right as the elc’s start to.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Solid deal.

Hurt, at least this year. We really only have cap space to sign Lemieux and that's about it. Maybe we trade Smith to create some breathing room?

 

[Speedtrials]

Fair deal for both sides, and lets Chytil continue to.develop at his own pace. Really happy with this deal.

TBH I questioned the Foegele contract at the time, but am feeling better about it all the time. No disrespect to Strome but this deal makes Foegele look like a steal.

 

[cwede]

... would this help or hurt my Quest for Toews in Manhattan ...

Colorado not trading young D Toews
NYR have no real need at this time for older Toews, at age 32, with ~1100 NHL games played, and >$10M Cap Hit for 3 more season... I don't foresee CBH retaining ~50% ...

Maybe if NYR are contending in spring '23, maybe they consider him as a short-term rental

 

[Mickey Marner]

Makes sense. Just below the walkaway arbitration number.
