Two year deal. We have a couple of young Russian kids coming through the pipeline. Names is a young veteran player who can be a stop-gap and make it easier for those kids to acclimate to the league and the area. On top of that, the Rangers are so far away from the salary cap that they'd need a passport to get there. Win win win.

I like his corsi, Gorton likes his character/60. Everyone wins.
Yes way better. Also, doesn't the Miller contract eat some of his UFA years? Isn't this contract strictly eating RFA years?

Quite easily, at least it's a tradable contract with UFA years.
Namesnikov just robbed you guys, at least you guys don't plan to be in the playoffs anytime soon because he's much worse than Miller.

So if he's good they'll re-sign him. How much more could he possibly command?
If not, he's gone in two years.
I'm probably the most critical Rangers fan of Gorton on this site right now but there's absolutely nothing to not like here.
Solid signing by the Rangers. Yzerman probably would have locked him up for eight years with a full NMC at a ridiculous AAV.

Reasonable deal and still an RFA once its up, and the contract is very movable if it comes that. Good work gorts
He is here for Rykov, Kravtsov, Shestyorkin, and Buchnevich.

I'd easily pay him that over 2 years vs 5.25 over 5 for Miller.
Your post is hilarious, actually. Short term deal for an inconsistent guy on a rebuilding team vs a long term deal on an inconsistent guy for a team supposed to be competing? Easy decision.

Miller at 5.25 for FIVE YEARS is tradeable? ROFL.
I guess you could get a penny or two for the dollar.
4mil for Namestnikov is a good deal. He's not gonna flirt with 60 points to make it a steal. He may hit 50 but will be a 40 point guy who has huge underlying stats. Great possession guy, good shot generation and suppression numbers, one of the better players at zone entries and exits. Can also play up and down the lineup in any position.
Nice deal. Cap hit is irrelevant when it's 2 years and NYR have a nice 3 year window with a bunch of ELC's before another 25M opens up.
Come in, maybe get top 6 minutes, help some young Russian prospects transition over the next season and a half and head to a contender at the '19-20 TDL for a return value depending on how well he plays. Or he finds a home and extends long term. 2 year term leaves all options open.

I know some are already shitting on this deal but Vladdy was given the Buch treatment, bounced around lines and also was on the 4th line. Don’t look at his stats from his time with the Rangers, he played well. I don’t expect him to be a 50+ guy but if he can produce around 40 that’s a great signing considering his 2 way play and versatility
