Did someone mention Brian Boyle?

what does any of that have to do with me making a cap related comment? I never mentioned one word about contender. I never said one word about him magically improving overnight in year three. I never mentioned playoffs. Hell, i wasnt even talking to you in the first place with the cap comment. I was just pointing out a mathematical cap dilemma we all would gladly have if he were producing. Unfortunately so far it doesn't look like it'll be a problem. Doesnt mean there isn't a potential cap problem. The silver lining is the organization probably hopes that by his third contract,both he and Kakko have progressed enough to be worthy of big long term contracts. No one is saying "thank god Alf or Kakko aren't producing." You're literally changing the goalposts, field, and context just to try and call out a point about where we are with a salary cap thats likely to not go up any time soon. My problem is, you took a comment, removed the entire context of the comment, put words on the screen that I never said, and tried to shame the very point after adding in things i didnt type and removing the context. There is no point to discuss anything further with you.

Show me exactly where I said I'll be happy being bounced in round whatever. Show me. Exactly where I said that. You're literally making up an argument no one said. I think I'm done climbing a mountain to argue with an echo. I'll hang my hat on that.

Once again, 100% incorrect. My only point was, and stay with me on this one, is that if Alf and kakko, were producing at a superstar pace, we would be in a bad spot cap wise as early as this offseason when kakko is a rfa. No arb rights so he can be bridged but fox was as well and we chose not to. Now is it a problem we all would life to have? Yup. Is it a problem we need to have right now in order to compete? Nope. Take a gander at the standings. Besides, all of this is moot on your part. They aren't performing at a superstar 1oa/2oa pick and luckily for us, we haven't needed to depend on that for success thus far.

Honestly, you’re making absolutely no sense and keep harping on one simple thing and going wild with it making giant leaps as if I’m wanting this. I’m not even sure how to respond to “my mathematics” lol. No one is saying they prefer either of them to not produce. No one is saying they hope anything other than both of them being top players eventually in this league and on the Rangers. here, I’ll simplify it and put it in all caps since you like making points that way. WE ALL WANT PRODUCTION FROM KAKKO AND ALF ASAP. We don’t 100% need the production today however. Luckily, we have a team that can compete and still have patience with him. Double edge sword that part of the growth might be slowed due to his place on the depth chart. The other part is that his depth is where it is because of the lack of separating himself from others when given the chance. He’s been progressing. It’s just been slower than we would all like it to be.

I’m not doing anything except simply pointing out MATHEMATICS in a cap era. Luckily Alf could be bridged after next season but it’s still incredibly tight especially if Kakko gets any sort of raise.

I didn’t say we would want it. I’m saying cap wise. Kind of a big difference. The year he’s up for his new rfa deal we have 50m cap space tied up in Ziby, Bread, Kreider, Fox, Trouba, Shesty and that’s not including the re-up of Kakko next year, a 2C , etc and everyone else. The cap ceiling likely isn’t going anywhere before his third contract with this Covid mess still around.

Realistically, if you look at it cap wise, it’s better for the long term if Alf stays on a slower projection until his third contract somewhere after the 24/25 season.

Wtf no snow yet !

Looks like first real snow for Long Island Monday afternoon. 1-3 inches

I feel bad for Antonio. He’s in NY now after leaving the game and he doesn’t even have his fake vaccination card anymore to get into bars.

If I want a railing yeah. Trex really hasn't shifted too much in price. It's wood that's really the issue but we don't need that.

Please never change Antonio lol

Are we a good team now?

Pull out pull out!

No bread? No problem.

Pull the goalie, give Tampa a chance.

Next Igor chant wins

Yeah but I don’t know about that. If they don’t challenge the high stick, they can’t exactly challenge who touched it next since it wasn’t ruled a high stick in the first place. Right?

Just one of those things. They probably were cleaning hats off the ice.

Good goal!
