Spelling Mitsake posted:Apparently Lehner is one of the bigger free agents this offseason. How did he only get a one year deal after last year? Goalies are voodoo...it’s why their trade value is wonky too Since 2018 only 5 goalies were signed for more than 3 years (Gibson, VasilevskIy, Hellebuyck, Varlamov, Bobrovsky). The vast majority of contracts given to FA goalies were 1-2 years. WeaponX fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Aug 11, 2020 |

Matt Zerella posted:I've been pretty clear they should tender him at most. But he should get a long term contract or be considered part of the future and I don't know what any of that means I wouldn’t accuse people of having tunnel vision when you ignore multiple statistics that are counteracting your argument and respond with  I think DeAngelo is a giant shithead, I also think he is generally one-dimensional. But I’m not going to ignore his positives in a league where effective PMD are crucial and hard to find. I’d be happy if they moved on but it is not a open-shut case.

I am so shocked that two former players are assistant coaches. Funny how the best guy for the job always happens to be an ex-player for that team.

Matt Zerella posted:https://twitter.com/EvolvingHockey/status/1296117785970585601 Plz god no. Panarin will be fine playing with another center is swear. Unfortunately not a great center UFA class  But let Gorton work some trade magic or put Chytil in the top six or anything but give Ryan Strome that amount of money. And I love underachieving-former-high pick guys like Strome because you can get them cheap and they have great potential and pedigree, but when you start giving them massive term (after playing with elite talent) you are piling on a ton of risk.

The biggest problem with signing Strome long term is that even tho the rangers rebuild is clearly accelerated and nobody would blame them for ending it after getting 2nd, and 1st overall, theres no point locking these guys down long term at the expense of playing young talent. I’m sure they are already reevaluating the Kreider deal. Not that anyone hates having depth on the wing but in a rebuild poo poo can change on the dime (like getting the first overall) The Rangers have crazy buyout penalties next year and will have a massive amount of salary coming off the books in two years. Lock guys down then, hit the free agency market with force, and start to build a contending team. But for now let Strome, DeAngelo, and maybe even Fast walk and get payouts somewhere else.

Levitate posted:I dont' think they're re-evaluating the Kreider deal at all. They knew exactly what they were getting/what they wanted when they re-signed him.Getting a 1st overall LW doesn't really change that. Maybe it makes it more likely that Kreider is traded in 3-4 years or whenever his NTC loosens up but a huge part of why they kept him is his mentorship of other players and leadership, as well as he's still a drat good winger Didn’t say they will let DeAngelo walk, it’s clear the Rangers really like him- I said they should. I don’t think he is a bad player it’s just a matter or term. And stop it if you think that the Rangers aren’t at least side-eying the Kreider contract now that they have Panarin and Laf on wing. I doubt they regret it since they gave him that term on their own accord (and they love him) but becoming “more likely” that they trade him a few years into the contract is re-evaluating.

Levitate posted:I think it may change how they viewed their depth at that position down the road but I think that contract was always with the idea in mind of either trading him or buying out the contract in the later years. Maybe this makes them think of utilizing him and his contract differently but I doubt they're that worried about it. More likely I bet they see this as a good problem to have rather than a problem. I agree that it is a good problem, I don’t think the Rangers are upset with having depth on the wings. I just really doubt that a GM would give someone term and many years with NMC with the idea in mind that they would trade or buyout. Of course they consider it, but it is never the intended purpose. A buyout, even when it’s the best available option, is a failure of roster management. I just don’t want to see a team that can essentially get any FA they want, any year they want, get stuck in cap hell.

It’s a hard thing to predict or understand.

Oh for sure- it was fun seeing him shake things up in a market that defaults to tradition. Especially going after guys like Larry Brooks who is an institution in NY sports journalism but can also be a giant ego-maniac. He took over a team that lost its older leadership group with Jagr and Shanahan and it was nice having a guy willing to stand up and fight for a roster in transition. He also had a lot of success with the Rangers. That being said, his schtick got old pretty quick and his hotheadedness led to some incredibly bizarre roster management, especially when the roster and his style of play became incongruent.

It’s hilarious because if they just kept their mouth shut about Jack Johnson he would just be another underachieving, overpaid, stay at home defenseman but for some reason they keep bringing him up, making insane statements about him, and shining a big spotlight on this giant weakness. Unless they end up tricking someone into taking him off their hands. Then it’s genius

He is a really great shot suppression guy and overall one of the best defensive-minded defensemen in the league (granted he has never scored more than 8 goals in a season) but I would say it’s very optimistic to lock into the idea that he will be able to keep up with increasingly faster and younger opponents 5+ years into the future. 6 mil is not bad, the 7 years is bad.

I’m so loving happy Staal is gone. He gave his all for this team and had some years where his skill set worked well but injuries and a much faster game left him behind. He needed to go. Also the Rangers has two 1st rounders so the 2nd is no problem.
