I always get Ladd and Sutter mixed up for some stupid reason...Ladd to the Islanders isn't bad but kind of a downgrade from Okposo scoring wise at least

I'm completely guessing but I think the Rangers go after Pirri and Vanek on the cheap and that's about it.

Isn't Vanek slow as poo poo these days and pretty invisible everywhere except the offensive zone? IIRC his scoring stats are still pretty good

Apparently the Wings are in on whatever a Matt Lorito is because a guy who was barely PPG in the ECAC and scored 50 points in The A is a huge deal

Apparently also looking for a D-man via trade, I hear Marc Staal is available!

lol $6m per for 4 years was EStaal's initial ask

Man gently caress that guy

especially after he bitched that he wasn't given enough of a role in his rangers stint and was expecting to be used as a top six center despite the Rangers other centers being vastly superior to him

You're giving up assets + the capspace for Nash though, vs just cap space.

I know it's just more responding to the idea people have been throwing around that Nash is unmovable because of his contract

It's not his contract, it's the bad year he had last year when he shot below his usual average...but I'd bet a whole lot that he'll bounce back to be a solid goalscorer next season and after teams lose out on FA's and feel like they still have holes to feel, they'll revisit the idea

that okposo deal ain't bad if you can afford the hit. $6 mill per year, he's still just 28 and is probably good for 60+ points unless he really does totally fall off the map without Tavares (which is the concern I guess)

Would the fact that the CBA can be opted out of in a couple years have anything to do with such long term deals

Not really, UFA's generally demand longer contracts. The length isn't really unusual

Someone Not The Rangers pls overpay Matt Martin so I can finally relax.

Don't see how they could justify Martin and Glass on the same team. No one thinks Martin will ever be more than a 4th liner and AV likes to have his fourth line a little more useful than something with Glass and Martin on the same line

Plus there's no way they can spend that much money on the 4th line

That's a decent deal, I'll take it. Kinda funny they let Stalberg go to sign Grabner for that but as long as they don't expect Grabner to suddenly find his scoring touch again and are happy with him as a 4th line PKer then it's decent

He's younger and faster than Stalberg and their production is similar, so ehh. Maybe Stalberg wanted a bit more than $1.5 from the Rangers (cost of living being more expensive in NYC than Carolina)

SHUT UP

:mad:

Last year he lost his job out of training camp but AV found a way to get him back in the lineup before too long.

So yes. Until the Rangers find a way to replace Glass's "toughness" with someone who brings the same but is a better hockey player then he's on the roster for next year. I just hope they don't think Martin is that replacement

I see seeing all the Rangers guys on twitter talking about rebuilding the bottom 6 which is cool and all but radio silence on Glass.

unless they assassinate him then the Rangers can't really do anything on Glass at the moment except send him to the AHL when the season starts so that AV can recall him a few weeks later
