From his end, why come to NY? Not going to get paid, already won 2 cups. If he is going to take a discount, you gotta think he wants to play home for Toronto. IF he wants another cup Rangers are an option, and I'd love it but dont see it (I'd love to be wrong)

Toronto won't have anything left for him after signing Tanev and OEL. Even if they did, adding another high-powered forward isn't what they need.

Also Tennessee is a no state tax location.

LeBrun on TSN reports Stamkos deal in Nashville should be around 4-year, $8M AAV.

Why would the Leafs give Tanev 6 years?

Lol I don’t this sucks right now

No I meant your comment. Made me audibly laugh. I appreciated it.

Lower the cap hit.

Going to be painful, but the rangers don’t have that much funny money like other teams.

Better not to make a move rather than making a knee jerk or stupid move

Look at the terms. Vast overpayment

Really? It's the same cap hit he had on his previous contract. Only three years, and the cap is expected to continue to rise over the next few years. For a 20 goal 50-60 pt player, I think that's pretty good.

time to run it back and bring some of the young kids up, see if Othman nd Cuylle can take the next step, Save the cap space by not singing anyone big so next year we have the funds to pay Laffy,Igor, etc and dont have hands tied with a 3rd line player who we panicked and gave a 6mm nulti-yr deal to

Lebrun thinks stamkos is getting 4 years at 8AAV from Nashville

And add Marchessault to that mix

Because they can afford to pay him an LTIRetirement after his play declines from aging.

Welp, free agency is over for me before it even started…

Unless Drury gives everyone the finger and trades for Tkachuk and Pinto.

Do we want Matt Roy? I can't decide. Seems like the exact type of dman we need, but will definitely get overpaid today.

I don’t think he hits that level consistently moving forward, that’s all. Plus other needs exist with not a ton of cap room

Rangers can’t match that??? I think that’s reasonable

Jonathan Drouin likely hitting the open market. Boston, St Louis and the NYR believed to be among the clubs most interested. Return to Colorado also possible.

$5.5M nets him more money in Tennessee than it does in New York

So honest question you think that Drury f*cked himself with Free Agents because of what transpired with Goodrow and Trouba?

I had him in my ACGM getting 6.5m, in relative terms… 5.5m in TN is 6m in NY.
