Is there something in the CBA that would prevent something like this? Seems pretty underhanded. I would be disappointed if we participated in something like this. Couldn't the Commissioner step in and block this?

I would want Kapanen, but WHY would we help Toronto in such a fashion?

These are the kinds of things that cause lockouts

Thanks
Now you've got me manic because I can't find my SDG album on vinyl, was just going to break it out and play.

Because you're getting Kapanen....

I like signing guys as soon as possible too, but not end of world if Rykov comes over next yearm, which seems likely at this point
- jimbro83

I hear ya.
I just want Zubov as AHL coach. Although Rykov is a higher ceiling guy so I'd also like to get him in a position to start to take off. You also have to wonder when Tarmo comes over too. Probably all next summer, along with Nils.

If he was on the NYR, I think Barzal would make me break stuff because he doesn't shoot the puck
- jimbro83

Meh, he's the least of my complaints. He was only a 20g scorer in junior so it's no surprise he's not bombing the puck at the net all the time.

I reject paying Marleau 6 million to play for Toronto on principle

Correct. If you really want to waste a Friday, go check out all the old Traffic stuff on YouTube. Sooo good and mostly unknown, even in classic rock circles.

ABSOLUTELY!
Play the vinyl instead of YouTube though...

Where would he fit tho? Nothing against him but the wings are getting crowded

Your answer is gonna be sarcastic i’m sure lol but I think it has some merit. They need centers. I guess he could be plan B if no Breadman

He wouldn't. You have make two or three trades.

If we are paying Marleau 6 million next year he better be wearing a Ranger jersey

we aren't the goddamn Arizona Coyotes

we are the NY Rangers, one of the most iconic names in the NHL, we don't pay players 6 million dollars to play for someone else

The wings would take Kapanen.

Kapanen would be a great add

Finland player, helps Kakko with the transition, right handed shot

if Toronto needs us to take Marleau to make a trade work, ok, but he plays for us, not them

The wings would take Kapanen.

What’s up with Zadina? He coming next season?

Yeah, the idea is absurd. Unless we somehow make them take Smith at full salary, and even then it's still absurd

It's not at all. Especially if you miss on Panarin, Karlsson or Duchene.

- Slimtj100

Likely. probably a 15-20 goal 35-40 point rookie campaign for him.

we could end up playing Toronto in the playoffs next year, the thought of paying Marleau 6 million to play for them my left ass cheek hurt

Let alone its a 35+ contract, you are paying the whole cap hit. There's no "buyout savings"

+1
Kapanen is a great Plan B if we miss out on Panarin...

No Marleau shenanigans...
