Stephen Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Is Chiarelli that dumb? I guess he will give Spooner an undeserved contract that will Lead EDM further into cap hell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveIn94 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I feel like we won this trade. Chytil and Andersson must be moving to wing. Sent from my Z981 using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Like I said the other day, I'd trade Spooner for a 7th + a pack of peanut butter cups, so this is a win for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveIn94 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Spooner has two points this season so far. Just two. Sent from my Z981 using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Deal screams of "our problem for yours?" That said, based on how bad Spooner's been, I'd call this a temporary win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I love this. Cant really be any worse. Cheap aswell Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Deal screams of "our problem for yours?" That said, based on how bad Spooner's been, I'd call this a temporary win. Yes. But could also be very beneficial for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I mean, Strome is an expensive fourth-line player today. But he has upside. Reminds me a bit of what they did with Pouliot (for a fraction of the price) years ago. If he can find a groove, they'll come out of this like gangbusters. For now, it's a small measure.

siddious Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I expected more out of spooner. Dudes been invisible all season.

Cheap aswell Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Strome? No, he isn't. $3.1M AAV this season and next. It's not damaging, by any means, but he's not "cheap" either. He's paid about what a tweener third/fourth-liner gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ERIK- Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Spooner hasn't played a game all season so good trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Spooner sucks. Strome sucks. Case closed. Seems like each team is hoping for lightning in a bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Spooner sucks. Strome sucks. Case closed. Seems like each team is hoping for lightning in a bottle. Spooner sucks a little more, though. Like, objectively. Especially in underlying numbers where he was an absolute anchor. He ranked dead last among Rangers' forwards this season in CF% (39.3) and FF% (37.9). Take what you will of shot metrics, but to be below 40% is really, really, really bad. I mean, Cody McLeod, who is universally condemned for being a shit hockey player, and who is probably getting put into street clothes thanks to this trade, had better metrics in both categories relative to Spooner. That's saying something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 All Strome has to do is play better than Letteiri and McLeod and this is a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I mean we’re siphoning corn from shit. They’re both 4th liners who likely have no future with the team unless something unexpected happens with Strome. The trade doesn’t move the needle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Weird deal IMO. I like it in the sense that Strome is probably....marginally...the better player, but I just don't know what this does for us besides shed some salary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrangers Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 we didn't shed salary because of the 900k retention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
