Slobberknocker Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 The Rangers will be no different. But just like the last time, when general manager Jeff Gorton took a Zen approach to the Vegas draft and came away from it about as whole as possible in losing only Oscar Lindberg, the Blueshirts won’t overreact. “It’s something to keep in mind,” Gorton told The Post. “We’ve already done modeling on different scenarios and projections, but we did that in advance of the last time and there were a number of changes. “Same as with Vegas, we know we’re going to lose a player and probably will be a pretty good player. That’s the way it is.” Presuming the Rangers go with the 7-3-1 protection formula (seven forwards, three defensemen, one goaltender), an issue up front could develop. That’s one of the reasons Gorton will be very careful signing players to contracts including full no-move clauses that by definition preclude exposure in the draft. Few marquee free agents will be willing to sign without getting that type of no-move protection. “The no-move comes up all the time in conversations,” Gorton said. “No doubt, that’s something we’re taking into consideration.” https://nypost.com/2019/06/12/rangers-already-keeping-eye-on-2021-seattle-expansion-draft/ -- Larry's been busy. Have to feel o.k. with this. Looks like we are in good position not to get picked off.
Albatrosss Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I hope they pick Lundqvist. even if its not possible
josh Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 No. His contract expires before that. Also has a NMC and would need to waive.
Stephen Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 that's right, 2 more years. Give Lundqvist the farewell he deserves on the final year of his contract.
Stephen Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I hope they pick Lundqvist. even if its not possible I don't think they're going to get Hank because that might require giving a couple of early round picks we might need to grow this team from the ground-up
Ozzy Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I'm actually not too worried about Hank anymore. We have some time before this squad is ready to rock and his contract will be up by then. Besides, JD speaks fluent "goalie" and I think they'll come to terms on what's going to go down. I'm cool with Hank playing it out here. No need for buyouts and wasting picks. We have other shit that needs to be sent packing first. At least Hank can contribute and compete at a decently high level still.
Albatrosss Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I already retired Lundqvist’s jersey in my basement. Im ready to part ways
ThirtyONE Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I think when all is said and done, he'll stick around to be the backup to Shestorkin for one or two years before he retires.
Ranger Lothbrok Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I think when all is said and done, he'll stick around to be the backup to Shestorkin for one or two years before he retires. Truthfully I don't know if he has the patience (or strength) for that. Guy is a competitor. It would probably drive him nuts.
Albatrosss Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I think when all is said and done, he'll stick around to be the backup to Shestorkin for one or two years before he retires. As he should. I think he’ll play even less games this season than last
ThirtyONE Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 As he should. I think he’ll play even less games this season than last I think it's going to become a tandem this season -- which, over the long haul, I don't believe in goalie "tandems" but it's fine for now.
BrooksBurner Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 The Rangers might not have a single defenseman worth protecting. Guess we'll see how Skjei/Hajek/ADA progress. You just might see the 8 forwards instead.
NYR2711 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 To early to even discuss this because we have no clue who will or won't be on the team at this point.
RangersIn7 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 2 full years from now. The garbage will be off the books by then, provided they don’t add more. Worrying about this can wait
Puck Head Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 You may not have to worry about it, but any team would be foolish to not start thinking about it Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
Pete Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 You may not have to worry about it, but any team would be foolish to not start thinking about it Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by TapatalkRight. And garbage being off the books means you're losing a good young player. That's a good reason to keep guys like Strome around.
NYR2711 Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 You may not have to worry about it, but any team would be foolish to not start thinking about it Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk But how can a team start thinking about it when they don't even know who will be on the team and who won't be. 2 years is a long time, and anything can happen between now and then. Guys we could think are going to be good, can be busts and guys we think we can expose may turn out to be guys you have to keep because they are playing so well. Plus, you don't know who is gonna be moved out in a trade scenario.

Example- Would you sign Kreider to 5 years at 25 million Vesey to 3 years at 6 million Howden to 3 years at 5 million Panarin to 5 years at 30 million Each with a NTC?

RangersIn7 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Right. And garbage being off the books means you're losing a good young player. That's a good reason to keep guys like Strome around. Not if that garbage has NMC and you have to protect them Not saying they shouldn’t be thinking about it and employ strategic thinking but there are other priorities requiring greater attention right now
4EverRangerFrank Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Example- Would you sign Kreider to 5 years at 25 million (YES) Vesey to 3 years at 6 million (NO) Howden to 3 years at 5 million (NO) Panarin to 5 years at 30 million (YES) Each with a NTC? Vesey would have to really light the lamp early and often this coming season for me to say he?s a keeper.

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Even if there wasn't an expansion draft, I wouldn't want to give anyone a NTC. They are what is going to lead the league to the next lockout because they are hampering too many teams.
