The entire NHLPA has to vote on it, which will probably take a day or two to vote/collect votes/etc. So I would imagine that we won't see the CBA ratified until late this week/early next week.Does anyone know where the new CBA proposal can be found? I'd like to check out any major changes. Also, it seems like that it goes through, is that incorrect?
Grabner and/or Hagelin would be great bottom-six depth to have, butI dont know that Grabner will be interested in such a pay cut. Couldn't he do better in Europe, if not from another team?Not this summer, but next summer Michael Grabner is UFA. He’s fallen off quite a bit but he’s a fitness freak and a vet. If he doesn’t get many offers I’d give him 1M for 2 years for our 4th line. Loved him when he was here, he’s still got wheels and he can slot up during injury, PK and provide a veteran presence. Again, this is if we could get him on close to a 1M AAV.
If we let Kreider go, I could see it, but there’s no need now. We already have a guy that can jump out of a pool.Not this summer, but next summer Michael Grabner is UFA.

I like Grabner. It’s probably a bit early to be thinking about the 21-22 bottom six, so much will change, but Grabner, even if not scoring, is a valuable player. And he should definitely maintain his speed and defense. Which we’ll need.Perhaps. Some guys want to play here until they can’t get a contract. I don’t know his situation such as whether he’s married to an American, spends his off seasons here or overseas, etc. it’s certainly possible he’d leave if the offers weren’t good. But if he were playing in the NHL for 4th line money, I’d be willing to sign him.

There was a conversation between the Rangers and Coyotes at the trade deadline. The Rangers weren’t willing to give much up or take on his whole contract. With all the moving parts in the league right now, it may or may not get revisited this summer.Not this summer, but next summer Michael Grabner is UFA.

This is accurate, but it’s an overused term. I’m convinced that Selanne would still light it up on an NHL 2nd line. Richards? Not so much.Any time someone says the phrase "fitness freak" my eye starts to twitch. "Fitness freak" was one of the most common justifications for signing Brad Richards.
Not saying he'd be an awful add on the cheap. Just brings back bad memories.
Grabner is irrelevant as a hockey player w/o the puck with open ice. He’s a 1 trick pony who can be effective under the perfect circumstances. But he’s by no means a guaranteed solid 4th line option unless you want him cherry picking for a break away.I'm never one to turn down a 4th liner who can actually play hockey.
For anyone who wants a laugh, I just saw a Montreal post on Armchair GM that had the following pair of trades with the Rangers:
1.
To MTL- Nils Lundkvist, Hunter Skinner, BUF 2021 3rd
To NY- Victor Mete
2.
To MTL- NY unprotected 2020 1st
To NY- CBJ 2020 2nd, STL 2020 2nd
Lundkvist is the best player in that deal BY FAR

Hello again. I asked back when the season was actually going on, but do you all expect to re-sign Jesper Fast? And what do you think his next contract will look like?
And can he play LW?
Thanks!

I prefer someone close to Fast there, personally.
I am not sure why a Canadians fan had such a modest proposal. Why not ask the Rangers to throw in Fox to the deal to make it more equitable. I am sure Gorton would hop to the fax to send that into the league office.
Sounds sweet, but I remember VK being THE top prospect outside the NHL. Though Nils is older and more mature as a player, and has looked the part for a few years now with steady growth in specific areas of his game (PP bomb, for example, seems to have become a weapon this past year)I think Lundkvist is a top-5 prospect outside the NHL. Top-3 among D-men with Byram and Romanov
