I get it lol but the point is we can’t really take on term on a younger guy

I love you man and I’m baffled why you’re mad at me today

- Slimtj100


I'm not mad at anyone. You keep responding to me just fine but then you turn around and say the equivalent of "all you chodes are the dumbest idiots alive and should burn for not wanting him" in a separate post and it's like... dude i'm trying to tell you

Don’t hate Kane but i hope he just isn’t top priority. As a last resort fine on a One or two year deal

I ain’t even touching this bait
- Slimtj100

There is no bait. I refereed to the Habs signing Aho to an offer sheet and the Canes signing Kotkaniemi. No like I'm going way back to the Chris Gratton offer sheet.

Look man. During the season when he would post charts and then the page would go off the rails for hours upon hours, it was not really a Tom issue. I'm not on anyone's side here. You guys still aren't making it any better, he's just also gotten 1000x worse. Call him a dippoop every once in a while to get it off your chest and then move the deep fried (frank) on. I'm going to try and not get back into this at all, at least for a while.

Utah is making some noise and is actively shopping for a top-pair defenceman by the sounds of it. Something to keep an eye on this week.

What're they an expansion team? Ha

If the argument were Kane or nothing, i'd say go get kane because SOMETHING has to be done. But you are so singularly focused on him and are so consumed by that other dippoop on here who i won't name anymore that you don't realize other people, myself included, don't just not prefer him but also have their own perspectives on who/what we would rather have.

I’m open to players. I just think he makes the most sense because it’s short term and no assets leaving. I generally stick to that mantra

Now is exactly the time to go all in and trade some assets for a longer term solution for the Mika of it all. Any pick or prospect not named Gabe Perreault should be available in that pursuit. Getting Trouba's goofy ass out of the picture goes a long way in getting that done as well.

Guarantees for Kane, no bonuses

Next year is hairy man. Someone could get traded, like miller or Cuylle if they blow up

With that said. You know me, there isn’t many moves that wouldn’t get me at least a little excited

With Goodrow gone the list of ways to add cap space is very short:

Trouba (trade or buyout)
Chytil
Lindgren
Kakko


What i'd love is for Chychrun to be the target, probably at the expense of Lindgren as Trouba is way less likely to be moved.

Chychrun Fox
Miller Schneider
Jones/other minumum guy Trouba

Then you find the winger and let it ride

That is the ultimate point of it all. He won’t demand a bunch of years. 2 max probably and that’s probably pushing it

If it doesn’t work out again, see ya. He can still produce offense. Which we still lack behind all the scuttlebutt of needing a host of other things

- Slimtj100

I thought I read he was looking for 3 years? So not sure where your 2 years max and maybe less comes from.

I’m just a guy. I’m basing it on the mutual interest part. I said before, if he’s greedy (like last year) he won’t be a Ranger. I think they both want each other and it won’t be 3 years

I think Jimmy brings up a good point of next year is the year to go for it b/c Laf and Igor get those raises. I don't know player wise who the answer is but yeah.
- evitageN

Yes that was totally jimmys point and not several people who mentioned it before him.

nope, I'm pretty much guaranteeing Lafreniere will eventually sign an 8 year extension to remain a Ranger well into the 2030's

You two dingus brothers act like it's impossible to have reasonable discourse on here but then you say stuff like this when you find people have a different opinion. What would you like from us here bucko? I disagree, not respectfully anymore because you were a butt about it. If we get him I'll cross my fingers and toes that i'm wrong... is that ok?
