Oettinger gets Hart contract

Hart signed at that price after a bad year, Oettinger signed that after a wonderful season + playoff

even if we can argue Hart played 30 games more before signing so we have a bigger sample, no doubt Oettinger could have asked for more money

Owner finally gave in suspected this was gonna be the deal as unless they moved out one of the anchor deals Ottinger wasnt gonna get a monster deal.

Now its time for robertson but the problem is based on the owners recent quotes this might drag on as for some reason he doesnt feel Robertson is worth 7mill.

I think he has the most upside of any rangers D not named fox. He played much better than Braden Schneider last season and he was buried for some reason

Isnt Lundqvist more of an offensive Dman. Van needs more of a Defensive 2-way guy.

Would meme and say Sandin for Lund + (As Sandin does look better rn) but we got Niemela coming so it makes 0 sense lul

Lundkvist is a two way defenseman.

"At the same time, though, the Blueshirts are seeking a semblance of equal value in return for Lundkvist, the slick, puck-moving, offense-oriented defenseman who is generously listed at 5-10, 187 pounds."

Thats what the trade article described him as

Tough player to gauge right now:

2021-22 Stats: 25 GP, 1 G, 3 A, 32 SOG, 13:56 TOI/GP, 15 BLK, 15 HIT, 3 TK, 15 GV

Didn't have the greatest underlying numbers but was also paired with Nemeth soooooooo

He played really well with Hartford, IMO playing him with a better LD in shelter 3 pairing mins could benefit him. He just needs ice-time

I don’t care what Larry brooks says lol - Lundkvist is a great skater + combined with his hockey IQ and good stick should he should be competent defensively in time

He was good at driving offense at even strength and on the PP. He was in a tough role. I see him as a #2 defenseman who can run PP1 and play in all situations

Still don't see where he would fit on the Canucks though. Our LD's are Hughes, OEL, Rathbone. Apparently OEL is practicing playing RD which would allow Rathbone move up to 2LD when he is ready. Still, Lundkvist doesn't fit with Hughes (Having 2 5'10 d men on your top pair not ideal), and doesn't fit with Rathbone (Again, two sub 6' d men on the same pair)

And I was told he was worth one of Bourque or Stankoven lmao.

I’m not even sure he’s worth Dellandrea at this point…

Rangers fans calling him untouchable for Eichel. Watch Schneider follow the same path.
