Well, it is a location, so technically it should be capitalized.

Only when used as a proper noun, homie. I mean, come on, what the hell is this?

Fair enough, but in theory, still a location!

in theory the rangers should've won the stanley cup in 2014 but in reality Ozzy needs a new diaper.

This is the kinda off-season content we've been waiting for.

 

Westeros should be westeros?

I'm using the extra sensitive Depends nowadays, Simon!  Those diapers make my balls itchy!

 

At first I thought it was just the mention of "Di Guiseppe", but after further review, it turns out that the mention of "Di Guiseppe" only make me projectile vomit.

Too soon.

When is the trading deadline for this coming season? I haven’t been able to find it when searching. Obviously I’d assume in March, just didn’t know date.

They’re probably waiting on weekes’ schedule.

I don’t believe it’s been determined yet.

I think there's a better chance the Rangers buy out Panarin's last year of the contract than there is of them letting Igor just walk.

 

Fleury made 5.5m in 2009. 5.5m out of 56.7m salary cap. That's almost 10%.

Vasilevskiy made 9.5m in 2021. 9.5m out of 81.5m salary cap. That's over 10%.

 

Giving Igor close to 9m in 2025 when the cap is closer to 90m shouldn't be that big of a problem. It's obviously only an option if he continues like he has, but if he does he'll be the best goalie in the league for many years and will definitely be worth ~10% of the cap.

 

Panarin and Trouba's contracts are up the year after (2026) and Kreids + Goodrow's the year after that (2027). Shouldn't be too hard to find a way to make it work.

[Slobberknocker]

hate to say it but like it or lump it this is pretty much the team for the next several years.  just have to hope enough of the kid core develops.

 

carolina did a good job in the off season.  watch out for that nekas kid.

Great financially when those contracts come off the books. Who is going to produce what they do for less money?!

[Ozzy]

I'm plenty cool with this squad and especially with what's on the way up.  The next 3 seasons should be a good run!

Of course, if the cap goes up, Igor's demand will be commensurately higher.

I think this is likely true. I don't really see them willingly walking away from Igor unless there's something staring them in the face internally or in UFA (like how the Canes let Nedeljkovic walk and signed Andersen.

[jsm7302]

If he continues his play as of this season; id give him a raise but 10% of the cap would be the max i suppose since that was the proven going rate.

Or they have Garand waiting as the heir apparent.

 

it depends where they are. If they still need Igor just to be competitive, as they do today, you keep him. If you've rounded out the squad and are getting reasonably good D and 5/5 play (as they do NOT have today), then why pay Igor?

 

That said, if you're paying Key and Troubs and Fox and your defense is still giving up a league high in shots and HDCA, then why are you paying the D that much for sucking?
