Rangers Announce Six Free Agent Signings

These are all 4A guys. Bitetto actually has almost 200 NHL games under his belt.

Bitetto's deal is for two years. I don't know about the other two.

Combined with Blackwell and Rooney, this is the group that replaces Fogarty, Nieves, Lettieri, et al.

JD told Gorts, go out and get some depth...

 

[Kocur Dill]

Expansion requirement fodder / AHL depth?

 

[Roo Returns]

Haha Johnny Brodz finally comes to New York. I was obsessed with him back in the day. I thought for sure the Rangers were targeting him at the 2018 Deadline.

 

[Leetch3]

This is mainly Hartford depth. The pack lost several vets assuming we don’t sign the group 6 guys.

the one that matters to the rangers is bitetto...he played 51 games so he needs to play 19 games to cover our expansion exposure requirements

These poor bastards can’t even get their own personal threads

They’re in the “and the rest” category

Ha, well, it just seemed like no one cared. I mean I posted the signing for Blackwell, and it had happened like an hour earlier. Normally there's like five threads whenever someone is signed.

So then I see someone mention Greco in one of those other threads and see they also signed the other two. Again, well after it had been posted on Twitter. So I figured I'd just roll it into one since no one cared.

I do actually think that Bitetto and Rooney, in particular, could actually see some action with the Rangers moving forward.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

This is great. Need to build the AHL squad and create a winning environment.

Back in the day...

It's like Gorton went out for essentials and came back with a value pack.

 

[eco's bones]

Bitetto likes to hit. It's been about 3 years since he's played in the AHL so I'm thinking he's likely meant to be the 6-7.

Hes going to play at least 19 games on the big club, so he meets the exposure requirement.

 

[broadwayblue]

Bunch of players to be named later.

 

[cwede]

Its a lot of guys to replace a lot of guys.
Added 4 marginal Fs, backfilling for even more: Boo, Vinni, Fogarty, ORegan, Beleskey.
Balances out all those HWP Fs with 1 year NA pro, or less - Krav, Elmer, Newell, McBride, Khodo, Barron, Richards, Ruesch, O'Leary, the AHL signee from QPac.
I think the only young Pack Fs, who weren't rookies last year, may be Getts. Fontaine, Ronning.
Not at my laptop, may be forgetting some..

Back in the day...

...when I was a teenager, before I had status, and before I had a pager.....

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

"F'in' wit me cuz I'm a teenager with a little bit o' gold and pager..." Women my age are all listed as MILFs on pornhub, it sucks.

Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?

 

[Mikos87]

Hes going to play at least 19 games on the big club, so he meets the exposure requirement.

And I think you can get 19 games out of him. He's another low event upgrade. Worst case scenario you dress 7 and meet the game requirements.

Ah....someone got it.
