Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] Vladislav Namestnikov extends with the Rangers (2 years, $4M AAV)

[kp61c]

how many points he had with them? 2? just brutal

 

[Todd1a]

I’m rooting for vladdy he needs to prove himself with out having stamkos and Kucherov carrying him

 

[EdJovanovski]

Way better than Bozo’s contract

Keep in mind that everyone on NYR has a clean slate with the coaching change. AV's defensive scheme was pure chaos and he was spiteful towards a few players, killing minutes for minor mistakes, while having favorites who could do no wrong. Just look at Buchnevich who was 2nd or 3rd on the team in scoring with Kreider and Zibanejad, then was banished to the 4th line. Namestnikov was another who quickly went to the dog house.

Lmao. Someone would pay 4 million (that's $1 million per point he scored with NYR) than 5.25 to Miller who outpaced Namestnikov in both TB and NYR.

I love this site.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

Meh, don't mind seeing what he brings next season, but he was pretty disappointing with us when he joined

4

Overpayment big time, I thought he hasn't done much to deserve more than a 3.5 mil

Yes, I would easily choose this over locking up Miller.

Tampa fans seem a bit salty ITT.

What's wrong, cupcakes. I won't judge.

Lmao. Someone would rather have JT Miller signed for 5 f***ing years than 2.

I love this site.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Riley Nash the UFA just signed for 2.75 mil, he put up 40 points mostly on 3rd line. Namestnikov the RFA after putting up 40 points on Tampa's top line and then nosediving with the Rangers gets 4 mil. both former 1st rounders.

 

[Stammertime91]

Miller at 5.25 for FIVE YEARS is tradeable? ROFL.

I guess you could get a penny or two for the dollar.

Because so many +50 point players that are 24 and signed through their prime at 5.25 appear and are laughed at by NHL GMs.

But go on.

That 5.25 million per point for his conference finals performance seems kinda pricey though.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I guess production won't really be important in NY for a few years anyway. Enjoy the basement boys.

I mean, I hope we are in the basement. That's kinda how a rebuild works.

Maybe your team can finally win something this year instead of under-performing once again and we can snag the first round pick.

 

[BerlinBlueShirt]

I am completely fine with the signing. It is only 2 years so he can show if he fits in for the future. Money doesnt matter too much for the Rangers right now so I dont really care if it is 500K too much or not

 

[God King Fudge]

That 5.25 million per point for his conference finals performance seems kinda pricey though.

There's not many guys on the team that earned their salary in the conference finals. If I'm going to have to debate the value of a guy that's been just shy of 60 points in his 3 full NHL seasons at 5.25 vs 4 for a guy who only managed to eclipse 40 points on the backs of Kucherov and Stamkos, I dunno what to say.

Yeah, the length is a bit much for me, but it is what it is.

Great sample size, it’s a no risk signing while still having tons of cap room. Not very comparable in all honesty.

Enjoy one of the streakiest players on the planet for the next five years. None of us care.

 

[aufheben]

Perfect.

His numbers look pretty consistent the past two years. Same jab could be used on Namestnikov so I wouldn't use consistency as an argument.

And I think you do care. <3

Oh, boy. The numbers "look consistent". I take it you simply never watched the guy as a Ranger being that most of us are completely happy with him gone. Have fun stats surfing over the next five.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Perfect.

Yep, you really can't ask for a better deal than this.

Low cap hit and great term. A guy that will be very easy to trade after next year when we can eat 50% of his cap hit at the deadline.

Not sure what Miller and Names have to do with one another. Tampa and the Rangers are in very different places right now. Tampa is in a "win the Cup" phase of development, and locked up a player to take them through those years. The Rangers are rebuilding, and need some veteran depth to show the kids the ropes. A bunch of the kids are Russians, so having one of those veterans speak Russian is an added bonus. Seems like both sides have the player that would better suit their needs right now, and neither side feels like they would be better served by having the other player/contract. Pretty textbook case of a trade where both teams won. Context is important y'all. The pointless bickering over it seems silly.

Sample size be damned, Miller has consistently outproduced Namestnikov in the NHL while not having the quality of linemates that Namestnikov had. That's not up for debate. That's fact.

 

[Stammertime91]

Oh so now I never watched him because I brought up his point total. Ok.

I will. Just like I'll have fun standings surfing over the Rangers for the next 5.
