@NoubarTedjirian@FriedgeHNIC In August 1997, the New York Rangers signed Joe Sakic to a three-year, $21M offer sheet. The front-loaded contract had a $15 million signing bonus too. He signed but Colorado found a way to get the cash.
@BeznezNanau@NHLRumourReport@NYRangers Lol
No.
Kotka is not the C you want taking time away from Laba.
I would've liked Nikishin but not with Kotka.
Pettersson is a free piece for at least another 5 years.
@roc1193@Peter_Baugh The top-4 the Rangers have right now is arguably better than any of the Lundqvist era teams ever had, and that's without the potential of Šmits.
Also better than the top-4 in the ECF against TB/FLA.
@RonDuguay10 Hell yeah
2024 ECF matchup was still some of the most exhilarating Rangers Hockey I've watched. Should've gone 7.
Bettman would love it if that happened again.
@NYRAfterDark Bjorkstrand or Pettersson
The 2030 1st is just way too far away to care and it's top-10 protected anyway, you're getting an instant top-4 D that has experience and is a mobile two-way.
It's perfect value. I would've disliked it if Schneider was involved.
Bjork is Grabner+
@MajorMoose_ I think it's a fair deal for both sides. I know time goes fast but it's still awhile away and no man on Earth can predict the future. I'm not losing sleep over this as a Rangers fan.
If you're overthinking about a supposed scenario in fucking 2030 or 2031, you're insane.
@rcolon85@JFreshHockey Listen, both are top-10 protected if things are still that bad.
By 2030 there are also going to at least be two new franchises in the league, bumping that pick out. I wouldn't lose sleep over the 2030 pick tbh and the 2028 is worth it regardless for a genuine top-6 sniper.
@JFreshHockey I never wanted to fully rebuild personally, why do that and go through mystery boxes for potentially years when you already have a #1 goalie & D-man? There are Rangers fans that were wishing for everyone to be traded for peanuts just to get closer to the mystery box.
@draftcbplease@CuzGrayMatters@JLazzy23 >bad contract
A literal 1x3.
No, you were never a Hockey fan. You drifted away because the other sports are easier to process and follow and the Rangers weren't on your TikTok highlights anymore, not because you have some weird obsessive axe to grind against Chris Drury.
@draftcbplease@CuzGrayMatters@JLazzy23 You read stat cards blindly without knowing any other insights of the player because you're a football/jogball fan who masquerades as a Hockey fan. You didn't know who Korpisalo was 10 hours ago.
In what world is Garand getting 30+ game reps? Are you a retard?
