[bobbop]

Good money for a career minor leaguer

 

[MysticLeviathan]

is there a reason we did this? I mean can the entirety just be buried? if not I feel like the cap space could be used better elsewhere.

 

[GAGLine]

Brodzinski still needs 23 games to satisfy the exposure requirements, so this can't be about that.

 

[GAGLine]

First time?

Yes, the cap can be buried, just like his cap hit now is buried. The rule is minimum salary + 375k, which is currently a total of 1.075 mil that can be buried per contract.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

The cup will be ours.

 

[nyr2k2]

He's been good for Hartford, and I would expect him to reprise the same role next season. It's a "whatever" move for the big club but a solid move for Hartford.

 

[Vitto79]

Meh AHL depth

 

[Fitzy]

Sweet baby Jesus

It's a minor league extension, in anticipation of some guys not being back --- including Cuylle and Barron.

No implications on the expansion draft or a cap concern.

Edit: got my answer

I mean, it's a two-way contract. No cap issues, here.

 

[Edge]

If those 2 are promoted to big club, I’m guessing it would be the 4th line, would then the rangers be looking for more of a vet 4c and it ends Howdens time with the team? Or am I just jumping too far

Cuylle is going back to the OHL.

Barron has a legit shot at the NHL club next season. Unknown whether he'd be plugging into LW or Center.

Unknown how it impacts Howden. Could be be looking at some combination of Howden, Barron, Rooney, Gauthier and Blackwell. I suspect one of Howden, Gauthier and Blackwell is a candidates for Seattle. Let's say its Blackwell You could have Barron and Gauthier with a platoon of Howden and Rooney.

 

[aufheben]

Who?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Dominos

 

[cwede]

Obvi, they like what he adds to the kids. And occasional NHL fillin
On free agent frenzy day NYR signed Rooney, Blackwell, Bitetto and Greco for 2 years, only Brodzinski to a 1 year. Now he, too, is signed thru next

 

[Player big P]

I'm surprised HF's servers held up

 

[eco's bones]

He’s a pro and whatever prospects we have in Hartford they needed to be surrounded by guys who can help them make their first steps in pro hockey both on and off the ice. It’s a piece towards them having a winning environment to play in.

Yeah, everyone likes to piss and moan about Hartford sucking, not being a good place to play or develop, etc., and then we re-sign one of the few veteran players who has actually done their job in Hartford and everyone mocks it. Not sure I understand it. It's not a cause for celebration, but organizationally, it's a very good move.

 

[RangersFan1994]

he is trash, no need to do this unless he was a good leader for the kids but if I was a GM of any team, I would not want any of the future of the organization to take tips from some scrub that is not even an NHL regular or have any future in the NHL.
