What do you mean? if he signs an 8x8 RFA or not it doesnt matter. - aecliptic
Meaning we have his rights for 4 more years, as a RFA he won’t touch anywhere near 8, we could use that to get the longer term (8years) at a cheaper price.

Tkachuk got 7m AAV, is due a minimum 9m qualifying offer. Rantanen is getting 9.25m on his RFA extension. To say Fox wont get anywhere near 8m after winning the Norris trophy is a bit over confident.
Ya I posted the article about Quinn Makar and Heskinen wanting the Chabot deal, I’d imagine Fox wants the same. Maybe he takes a hometown discount - nyrangers9479
I doubt he'd take 8x8, but that'd be a steal for the Rangers.
3-4 year term would carry him through the flat cap and right to UFA, which would be less-than-ideal for the org. I'm sure the team would want to buy up at least a couple UFA years or get him at a severe discount if that were the term.

I'll go on record predicting 6x$7.5M - eichiefs9
I don’t know if u know the rules here but no one is allowed to have an opinion. Copy and paste twitter or keep quiet

Chabot deal was pre COVID. While that won't be an excuse forever, teams will try to use that to keep AAVs down.
I think it will be interesting to see the salary arbitration cases this summer as a way to see what the market correction will look like.

Not to piss on anyones parade, ahh (frank) it I will, Foxes point break down was done on Boomers show today on the NHL channel. 32 of 47 points came at the expense of the bottom dwellers of our division, 15 against the top 4 teams.
Just saying.
Also when you breakdown Zibbys points, its about a 75 percent against the bottom feeders and 25 percent against the above 500 crowd.

I think Zibby struggling against those teams, especially when he was pathetic early in the season, directly cost Fox a lot of points
Regarding the Rangers, the first non-playoff team in NHL history to produce a Norris Trophy winner:
1. Of course Phillip Danault would look mighty good wearing the Blueshirt next season, so would Blake Coleman and so would Barclay Goodrow. There is not much question about that.
The three impending free agents currently playing in the final — Danault for Montreal, Coleman and Goodrow for Tampa Bay — would all bolster the grit and grind ingredients that the Rangers lack. They would all fit.
But GM Chris Drury will have to clear out space to add any one of them. I’m not talking about cap space. I’m referring to space in the lineup that does not currently exist. Where are these hypothetical additions going, where are they playing, whose spot would be taken?
That is the curiosity with the Rangers. Here’s a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in four years and there are no openings. I guess it’s because of all the prospects needing to play, but it’s kind of a comical situation.
The team needs to bulk up and reinvent itself under incoming coach Gerard Gallant, but it won’t be possible unless and until Drury does a similar kind of housecleaning with the playing personnel as he has affected with the front office.
I left out Zach Hyman as a pending free agent who would make an impact with the Rangers even though he could and should be a prime candidate under alternate circumstances. Do you know why?
Because he is a left wing, that’s why. It doesn’t matter who the left wing is and what qualities he would add, there is no room for him on a team that lines up with Artemi Panarin, Chris Kreider and Alexis Lafreniere on that side. What’s that you say? By bumping one to the right?
OK, then pretty much forget about Vitali Kravtsov having a top-nine spot with incumbents Pavel Buchnevich and Kaapo Kakko in place and in line for top-six roles. Plus, is anyone clamoring for a rerun of Lafreniere or Kreider on the wrong side?
Danault as third-line center? Fine by me if the contract makes sense, but what happens to Filip Chytil? Or you’re just figuring that the Czech will be gone before he celebrates his 22nd birthday in early September?
And now explain to me where there is an opening for Morgan Barron unless it is on the fourth line, either in the middle or on the wing.
Yes, Gallant said in his introductory press briefing last week that he is not a fan of playing kids on the fourth line, as if any coach is. But where is there a spot for Barron in the top nine?
Drury needs to be in the import and export business, just like Art Vandelay. The GM won’t be able to add players without subtracting. And that is why two-for-one’s or three-for-one’s makes sense for the Rangers. Because they cannot address their deficiencies without moving out incumbents.

you're funny when it comes to Larry Brooks
when he says something you don't like, such as, no chance the Rangers firing management will change the status of Tony DeAngelo, you say he doesn't know what he's talking about
and now with this article, he talks a little bit about what you wanna hear, and all of a sudden he's really smart

amazing how that works - jimbro83
I actually like Brooks and have never had a problem with him. Of course he’s guna write things I don’t agree with sometimes but for the most part I enjoy his columns. You’re just funny in general, not just when it comes to Brooks.

I'll give you a for instance on how you and I just see everything differently
in that column, I see Brooks sentence about Chytil as kind of implying it's crazy to trade Chytil before his 22nd birthday
you read the sentence about Chytil and think it means it's guaranteed they are going to trade him for Kostin and may as well start putting Kostin in your line combinations starting immediately

something needs to happen soon so you two shut the (frank) up
I just hope this final ends in 4 and we get to it, what a waste of time - jimbro83
a complete waste. forgettable in every sense from an outsider pov.
a part of me wishes the isles made it - so i'd have something to hate watch and root for. havent even seen a second of it and feel like i've been better for it.
