What is the sales pitch to convince him, Buffalo - character/vet role would be a great fit for him?

He's going to be desired around the league IMO


Edit: Also, does he benefit from playing in the West? His numbers and perceived persona was he was too slow to keep up with the speed in the east?

He's playing over 18 minutes a game
Why sign to play less
But he's had one year offer's last 2 years

Id imagine longer term deal at 2.5 million
He mite bite


Think luke scheen is better fit for ,3 rd pairing

Were you one of the clowns that said the Shesterkin extension was a terrible overpayment?

You have a real eye for talent

Lmao you’re gonna have to overpay 2-3 mil more to attract any player after how terrible management treated Eichel

So tell me if your goalie wasn't having one of those seasons, where do you think the Rangers would really be in the standings

Gudbranson has played for 6 teams in 3 years. Could offer cash and stability. And he ‘could’ play 18 minutes a night.

Definitely helps, but also can cover up alot of a not so great team.

Greatness is achieved in the playoffs...until then its hope/promise. Who's winning tonight what are you thinking the final score will be?

Don't think that's even close, but you also subtracted Myers (the key piece of our side) and Lemieux.

Does Bryson even project to make this team?

If you suggested Quinn, then none of this is really directed at you. That's a piece that would hurt to include.

- Lunaion



Agreed, gotta give to get.

Drives me crazy when posters offer "homer" trade offers.

I really can't see too many outside pieces on next years team.

Goalie, power partner and a forward maybe.

Looking at :

Tuch tage skins
Mitts cozensons olo
Quinn krebs peterka
Okposo girgs vinnie

Sure move out miller , butcher, anderson but, I'd be surprised with a real splash move.

Although terry is a hockey fan, and he's had to notice the difference recently

Just bet both of those results - I'm ready for anything

- Anderdog


Yes it did, so let me explain why I said 12. If Power & Dahlin earn 25 a night, that leaves 10 for the 3rd LD. I have never paid much attention to minute pairings, so if one double shift, the RD partners could all play 20 mins theoretically.

Yeah those 3 and a second don’t get you Krebs. Your were offering that for Eichel. That alone should be enough shame for you to never show up here again, or at least not poop talk others on their player evaluation.

IAM down with grumbranson as a 2 nd paring
Rather not spend that money on a 3 rd pairing guy is all iam saying
Luke Sheen is more in line

And all this talk about power's partner
And do we even have dhalens yet

What about Gustafsson from Chicago?

https://www.capfriendly.c...m/players/erik-gustafsson

Swedish, league experience - can mentor both Dahlin and Power. More suited for the 3rd pairing.

That's the big one, to me Powers partner is the easy one, getting Dahlin's is the tougher get.
