josh Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hartford may rival the Binghamton Rangers of 1991-92, who were one of the AHL's greatest teams ever (and produced no one for the New York Rangers). Wasn’t Quinn on that team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It’s clearly a weird year for UFAs. Signing are way down. Money and term are way down. The best players available are not signed. It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Thought Gorton was a genius? Have faith. I do, but it’s quinn... Kreider - Zibanejad- Bitteto Panarin - Coleman - Howden Blackwell- Yeah I don’t know who else they signed - Kakko Smith - Johnson - Lafreniere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 But seriously, I’ve been whining about Hartford for, idk, 2 or 3 days. This could actually be a big day, looking at the rangers future and their development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I'm sure people are going to be upset about the numbers, but not me. I don't like Fast. Never really have. He's fine to go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 They better have passed on Fast because they're getting Granlund for $3 mil per or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tphilly5 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 That seems like a reasonable deal for Fast. We must have something bigger in the works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Wasn’t Quinn on that team? As was Laviolette. Plus: Doug Weight Corey Millen Rob Zamuner Steven King Randy Moller Mark Janssens Jody Hull Jeff Bloemberg And Dan Lacroix Odd. Lots of coaches came from this group. All of that team contributed to the Rangers in their own ways and some had decent careers. Hate to nitpick, but that's about the time I started watching.

Reminder about losing Fast; Jody Hull, Blair Betts, Jan Erixon, Esa Tikkanen and Freddie Sjostrom were all roughly the same kind of player; very good defense first forwards who don't give you much offensively. If Gorton thinks he can fill that hole, he probably can. It has been done before . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been like 4th or so on our team lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been like 4th or so on our team lol Yeah, Tikkanen definitely doesn't belong in that group. But I agree with the point. I thought Koivu would have been a good fit. Hopefully they can get someone to fill that spot. Who is out there as a free agent to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Don't worry about it fellas, the best is still yet to come. Just have to stay the course and eventually all this will make sense down the road a little bit. Not to follow blindly, but I'm sure they're not just doing this blindly; gotta believe there's a plan in place moving forward. Good Lord, when do I become the voice of reason??? Oh that's right...I'm not!! :rofl: No really....These are looking like just 1 and 2 year signings for a team that needs to revamp Hartford, and field a team for next season. We have so much dead cap space next year, and it's going to be another abbreviated season due to this fucking Covid shit anyway. Fuck it...make it a "get experience for the young guns", dump all the rest of the dead weight, cap space burden, and then we're all set moving forward. It's looking more and more like a 2 year plan, and the fuck with it...I'm on board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I don’t like losing Fast. Nor do I like the cap situation they are in . But it’s ok... The cap cleans up for them after next season They weren’t going to be contenders this coming season anyway IMO. They’re still developing young players and waiting for others. Nothing they did this off-season was going to change any of the above in all likelihood. A suitable replacement can be found for Fast when the time comes. They’ll have both dollars and assets to get what they need. It’s not a player I like losing but it’s not devastating either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have to allocate for this for every year of entry-level contracts? I know we have a ton of dead money coming off the books next year but I'm assuming we'll still have to budge for performance bonuses again?

The potential performance bonuses are considered when looking at the summer overage of 7.5%. Bonus can be applied to current season or next season, but all performance bonuses are counted during the summer cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrowningPI Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 So the Rangers have a shit ton of ELCs w/ bonus money possibly awarded. This is the first time I can remember (my memory is pretty foggy) that this bonus money was ever a concern or even mentioned in passing. So basically they may have enough to pay their FAs and that's about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people are saying that but i dont see why we can't get a bridge deal for DeAngelo, after the year he had he probably wants long term, hard telling after next year we'll be sitting great cap wise and i think the goal for the front office is to not screw that up..

Put another way: We have $18.8M in apparent cap space right now. $10.1M of that is held for performance bonuses. We have less than half our actual cap space. We have approximately 8.7M to figure out Strome, DeAngelo, Georgiev, Lemieux, and DiGiuseppe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
