Ozzy Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It's still early in the season, but I think it's time to give a little credit to the Gus-Bus!! Fucking guy stepped right up, and took control of what could've been a terrible situation in losing Fox. Ever since he's gone down, the Rangers have pulled together with some fabulous team play, and a lot of the credit could be in part to Gus, who's been in my opinion, one of the best "low key", UFA signings we've had in quite a long time. I never expected this kind of play from a guy that makes $800K!!! Good for Gus, and I hope next year he gets paid BIG!!! ...after he wins a Cup with us this year, that is!!! Give it up for the Gus Bus!!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 He's gonna get a BIG payday this offseason if he continues this play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won't be here, which is too bad. I guess it depends on roster moves and cap increase. But, one of the best signings of the offseason by any team. Drury did an unbelievable job with depth signings despite very limited cap space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 I give Drury and Lavvy credit for his signing. I think he played for Laviolette a few years and I'm sure he knew what he brings to the table. Guy's been terrific this season so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Almost definitely won't be here. The team needs to re-sign Lindgren and Gustafsson is pacing 57 points. He'll probably cool off and end the year around 45 points, but that's still going to comfortably price him out of New York. We just need to enjoy this while it lasts.

Sharpshooter Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Yeah, it's a really good stopgap kind of situation that you'll take and run with it. C'mon the train....and ride it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat it like found money. That $20 bill you found in your jeans is not going to be a steady income stream, but it's a little bonus. For the Rangers, he's a luxury this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I give Drury zero credit for this signing. This was all Lavi, and credit where credit is due. Lavi made sure this was one of his guys to go and get after having him in Washington last year. Tremendous pick by the coach. It’s one of those cases where a player seems to maximize their ability under a certain coach/scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Been absolute robbery. And I agree with almost every single word said about the situation in this thread so far. It was a steal, it is a steal and enjoy it while we can because he almost assuredly is one and done here because he is going to get money next summer. He’s been awesome for this team.

It's amazing Drury convinced him to sign literal league minimum, but I doubt he was turning down significantly better offers anywhere else.

They traded for him when they didn't need him, and then they sunk his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
