Why?

 

[Fitzy]

At that price you could pretty much waive him and send him down if needed with no additional cap hit.

 

[Rangerfans]

WHY?

 

[Harbour Dog]

f***

 

[haveandare]

He’s terrible but 1 yr at 1m Im not going to lose sleep about. One of the kids should be able to beat him out in camp

 

[will1066]

This guy's off-ice life is a complete mess.

 

[JohnC]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

/r/TIHI

 

[nyrleetch]

Don't understand the move. But at 1 YR and 1 MIL, there's really zero risk.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Doesn't exactly bode well for Jacques Martin that he didn't stop this

 

[EdJovanovski]

Awesome!

 

[ecemleafs]

u gotta be f***ing kidding me. this dude is one of the worst players in the nhl.

 

[n8]

I can live with that contract. Just please don't Brendan Smith us. Like say he has a decent season and the Rangers lose their minds and give him Smith's contract. I would fall over and land on my esophagus.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Not sure why fans are losing their shit over it. It’s a cheap 1 year contract and its just for depth. He isn’t going to be playing on the top 4 . Probably a 6/7 defenseman

 

[NYRFANMANI]

the contract is who gives a f***, but why? Why the roster spot? I guess it's some kind of LD depth.

 

[NY Lito]

Why trade Staal and a 2nd just to use some of that cap space to sign someone worse than Staal?

 

[Trxjw]

Another fringe move that the fan base is going to panic about for no reason. Warm body veteran for a team that has two LD with any meaningful NHL experience on the roster. Known quantity to your new defense coach. Known to be a good locker room guy.

But sure, this is a catastrophic signing that tests people's faith in Gorton. Totally reasonable.

Vomit. Edit: but $1 million is not the end of the world

It really is amazing isn’t it lol. You would think we have him a 2 year 10 million dollar deal with the outrage in seeing

If I got the math correct, JJ would count 75.000$ against the cap, if buried.

Now I know what @GoAwayStaal new name should be lol.

I can't tell another cliche that's worse than "good locker room guy". A completely meaningless phrase that people in hockey use to rationalize playing awful players.

My condolences, he's buttholes stuffed with wet dogs.

 

[aufheben]
