Team: 2023-24 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 2, 2023

Published: Jul. 2, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I think Gus will have the edge over Jones for 3LD. Jones would have to clear waivers to join the AHL

Some speed should be put with Wheeler to offset his slowness

Using the Byram contract for Miller comparable

Panarin needs someone like Vesey to do the dirty work and defensively responsible on his line

I don't know. Heard some news he wants top dollar. But of course shouldn't listen too much on gossip. But it feels like Wheeler and Gustafsson are potential replacements for Laffy and Miller.

So wheeler a Right Wing (and only a RW) is a replacement for Laf (a Left wing).

Gustafsson is the guy to push jones, not miller. Schneider needs a puck mover on his pair, and jones can be it, but needs to earn the spot. This is the rangers way of forcing jones to earn it and not let him just be handed the job.

The signings are to allow othmann cuylle and jones to not be handed NHL positions before camp even starts and let them develop, which is very necessary.

Drury straight up said they're not moving laf and "we think the world of miller"

No way he doesn't keep both.

I've heard they are trying to shop him because they can't accommodate his salary claim. But yeah I am fine either way of course. I like the kid, but he isn't playing like a 1OA pick and isn't being played like one.

I heard they are quietly shopping Laffy because they can't accommodate his salary claims. Of course would be nice if they could keep him.

Drury immediately refuted that misleading report.

Laffy has no leverage. He should get $2.5m max and KAM should be $4m or less

He has less leverage than before the free agency I agree. But lets say he goes PLD on us. And just shows up and stop caring.

He been patient, 3 years in the bottom 6. I still don't see him getting top 6 min and NYR just keeps piling up 35 + year old players. It is just so very strange.

Not saying those where bad, especially for that price but at what level are we even a playoff team next year. With or without them.

Quick is the only signing I really didn't like.

Why would anyone touch him then? He hasn’t shown anything unlike PLD and that’s such a crybaby attitude like Kravtsov lol

Laffy isn’t entitled to anything

Except we’ve seen or heard nothing to indicate that’s the case.
The rangers also aren’t Winnipeg or Columbus.
Until there’s a national reporter actually saying they’re shopping Laf, it’s all smoke no fire.

The are many cases of other team picking up our players and turned them in to point per game players and they paid close to nothing for that. So many entitled players NYR draft then...

Buchnevich and J.T Miller. Especially Buchnevich what exactly did they get for him. Blais that we traded Buch was matching Vlady points once he returned to STL.
