Rangers Fielded Calls But Will Not Make a Deadline Deal

Crazy. But I'm okay with it. Signing Jones is honestly bigger than any transaction they realistically would've made. Jones is a major upgrade over Hajek.

Agreed. Plus, they're in a weird position in not really being able to justifiably buy and not being so bad that they need to sell assets for futures.

Sometimes it whatcha DON'T do!!! ;)

 

Glad we stayed the course today!!!

No problem standing pat. Though I was hoping they'd move Smith for picks.

Your deadline acquisitions were basically Jones for the defense and Kravtsov for the offense.

And they didnt give anything up. Gorton for Gm of the year!!

Top of the list! A number one!

I'm actually glad they didn't just throw away Smith for a 4th or 5th round pick. He's more valuable to the team than those picks would be. He's just about the only guy on the roster that will mix it up. I'd even want to bring him back on a much more friendly deal than the current one.

I think that is the plan. You're going to need some veteran leadership/presence back there with even more youth being infused.

Especially if they do end up making a legitimate push for the final playoff spot. And with Jones coming.

 

Jones-Smith is > Jones-Hajek or Hajek-Jones.

 

And yes x1000 to re-signing him. He's a good player. Just not $4 million good. Give him like $1M and change and call it a day.

Not to mention toughness....I'm cool with it too, fellas. I like Smith, just not that current contract.

You can still do that he’s a ufa

The fact that they didn't flip him, makes me think that they have probably had preliminary conversations along those lines.

Those calls were definitely about Panarin

Yeah, I hope so. He seemed encouraged/hopeful when they asked him about the deadline earlier:

ahhh sweet! That's good news!

Yes and Yes the non-movement of Smith sort of surprises me.

His full quote was actually pretty awesome and heartfelt.

He's also a very serviceable butler to Kakko. I'm glad they kept him.

If he’s really okay with going from $4mil down to 1-2mil then I’m all for it

Resign Smith!

 

Next time Cindy runs our goalie at least if Smith is on the ice, he will do something!

Could not believe our team did nothing to Cindy after that!

he might actually be a winger on the 4th line if re-signed next year. Blackwell will likely head to Seattle, PDG be gone and im assuming one of Gauthier/Howden or maybe both wont be back.... Fox/Miller/Lindgren/Lundkvist/Trouba/Jones/Smith as 7th dman/4thline winger
