If Hank signs with the Devils that changes a lot in my opinion. Then it never was about winning. It was about himself. Just my opinion. If this happens probably start hearing some rumors about him refusing his ntc in the past even if they had someone lined up that have him a shot at the playoffs

Eklund? Lol

When is the final day of this window?

Teams really should try to find a way to get creative with generating revenue if possible. Maybe some paid subscription all access content. Probably extremely difficult because of whoever owns the rights specifically for the league, not just the team, but there has to be a way through the local broadcast, like an msg go app but with a monthly subscription.

Phoenix or whatever they are called bow did it for years too. It’s kind of a joke but whatever. If I’m the Rangers I’m already on the phone with them about Smith.

I’d probably say this is a covid cut. Some teams are hemmoraging momey from all this lost revenue. You hit the nail on the head. They want a high salary they don’t pay long term.

Two years ago he likely thought he could still help this team and was hoping for a faster rebuild. They still had some guys. It wasn’t a bare bone roster. Last year they bring in Panarin and draft Kakko. Sheshty still wasn’t exactly in the picture yet....now it’s clear as day And he likely knows he won’t play here and feels he can still play elsewhere.

They need to release season 4 for those of us that have been waiting a year or so lol

Probably literally just comes down to one thing. He believes he can still play and doesn’t want to retire earlier. I get that. His legacy here is important but sometimes athletes believe their legacy of themselves equals or surpasses a sweater.

Must have called from a blocked number lol

For what it's worth, in rfa negotiations, an arbiter is not supposed to factor in any cap related implications whether for team or league when making his determination.

Yeah, Georgiev isn't going to be dirt cheap

If they go this route his cap hit for the 21/22 season is only 1.5m so lets not make it seem like its going to kill moves. We still will have about 30-35m in cap space next offseason unless they sign someone long term this offseason.

If this is all remote, do the Rangers mail him a jersey? How does that work lol

I still say Leetch because I refuse to acknowledge we traded him.

I agree. And I wish it were true lol

If you mean by best diamond in the rough? You can make a case he’s too 10 nhl history for that. If you mean most accomplished Ranger pick, that’s still Leetch.

Good to see him back. Let’s hope this helps them roll

Good times good times lol

Ambien lol plus there s a good hour long black out phase that’s great for some interesting conversations with the wife the following day “Keith, do you remember what you were doing last night????” Umm, maybe?

Lol I actually even checked hockey fights to see if Steps did. I mean being in the league for over a decade and not fighting once is an accomplishment.

Stamkos looks like he’s playing

Found it. Phil said it so I’m not sure if he knows better or not. http://www.blueshirtsbrotherhood.com/showthread.php?16931-Ballsy-Predictions-Rangers-Edition-2015-2016&p=801826&viewfull=1#post801826 Sadly, My ballsy prediction didn’t come true :(

IIRC if he does retire, he can’t come back mid season right? He has to file papers to retire and apply for reinstating at some point? Vaguely remember discussing it with MSL when he hung it up, and Kovy too I guess
