Confirmed with Link: OFFICIAL: #NYR have agreed to terms with forward Oscar Lindberg

[East Coast Bias]

This isn't about one man, it's about three. Sather, Gorton, and AV. They all want him in the lineup.

12 forwards, and 1 of the 12 happens to not have much skill, but adds an element of grit (sandpaper) whatever you want to call it, to the lineup.

I don't have the ability to ask them why they prefer that, but others have and the answers are all the same. They want that element in the lineup.

Some agree with it, and some don't.

Unless you have very inside information, you do not know this (all 3 in agreement). And if you don't, you're making very presumptuous statements about how things are and calling people idiots for not going along with it.

There's no doubt the NYR have tried to make "toughness" a part of their DNA every single offseason for years. From Brashear to Newbury to Pyatt to Asham. It has been an abject failure. And the beat goes on.

Saw it earlier, and we're talking about the Rangers, not the Bruins and that disaster.

It's not a disaster. He's an NHL GM.

Why argue anything here, just say:

Management knows best the end.

Exactly. Shut'er down boys, no need for this message board anymore.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Well done on the Oscar terms.

Yes, we believe we're smarter than management because we think that playing Glass is a poor decision. Right on.

Again, at least we're thinking for ourselves rather than just going along with some other people's opinions.

I think for myself, I just happen to agree with the reasons why management wants one out of 12 forwards to be Tanner Glass.

Do I think he's a great hockey player, or the best option? Nope.

I just understand why they want the element of what he brings game in, game out.

Thats not necessarily true

For all we know, none of them could want him in the lineup and they're waiting to trade him.

That question was answered many, many times over the course of last season.

We all know why AV wants him in the lineup. We all know that's its ****ing dumb too.

That Lindberg deal is the ****ing ****. Oh man. That's gonna look so good next season. Potentially this season.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Lindberg deal is a steal.

 

[Doctyl]

Disagreeing with a professional opinion should be intractable.

Confirmed with link: Rangers sign Tanner Glass

"I agree with this"
"What a wonderful contract"
"He's such a good deterrent"

Well done on the Oscar terms.

Wow, great deal for the team. I would have to assume that's a one-way deal, considering the cap hit, correct?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Etem + Lindberg = Glass cap hit next year.

I'm so confused.

You said this almost 50 posts ago. I find it funny that everyone continued to bash you claiming you thought Glass was one of the best forwards.

I am with you on this one. I hate Glass and everything he stands for, but AV must have a reason he wants him out there. While his role around the league might be diminishing, some combination of AV/Sather/Gorton believe it is still an important part of a team. We were spoiled (if thats what you want to call it) with Dorsett/Prust in a similar role the past few years. Both brought the physicality with a bit more offense.

aaaaaaand you just dragged this thread back into oblivion...

Etem + Lindberg = Glass cap hit next year.

I'm so confused.

That's because management knows best.

Don't be confused, just blindly agree with management and you'll be fine.

Holy **** that's a great deal.

because opinions of players don't change at all ever

That is a thing of beauty.

Brooks you're an incompetent hack. Please go away.
