Thread: Nucks Fleece Vegas Rangers Fleece Bolts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>I feel like Cirelli is in a good place as the 2C for Tampa so he may not want to sign an OS. But waving a big money OS (1st and 3rd rd pick tier) in front of Sergachev who sits behind Hedman and Mcdonagh for the foreseeable future could work. Also, the mid-range compensation OS's (2nd rd pick) always look like a solid option, maybe go after Cernak who will be a lower priority for TBL. Whoever it is, some team out there better apply some pressure.</div></div>

Cirelli sure is in a good situation in Tampa...but seeing how frugal all teams seem to be right now...an OS in the 36M range over 5-6 years might be tough to pass...if he wants to settle for a meager bridge and bet on both himself AND the league economy...then he is more a man than most!

Thread: strome deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Not every player is obsessed with money though. Like Winnipeg could offer 7M and he would probably still stay in Tampa</div></div>

Actually hope you are right about that...but a few things always seem to come into play: 1. Ego 2. Desire to maximize earnings
Players do seem to compete with their peers in the "earnings race"...and as far as maximizing their earnings- you always hear: "Have to do what's best for my family"...in the end these guys are extremely talented and have a short earning span- they do deserve to be compensated handsomely for that...and they are...but is it really necessary to extract every dime??? Unfortunately most do think so. TBL does have the advantage in that state tax is less than other states- so they can offer less for a better take home pay...but beyond that advantage- all they can hope for is that other teams don't aggressively pursue Cirelli, Serg, and Cernak...we'll see how this plays out.

Thread: Send Tony D Home
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>I could care less where he stands politically, the dude has gotten in trouble on multiple occasions for calling other players the N word and more recently decided to start a podcast about "challenging PC culture" less than a week after George Floyd was murdered. Even if you somehow argue the dude isn't actually a rascist, I still don't want that much of a tone-deaf dope on a team I cheer for</div></div>

Don't listen to his podcast...so I can't comment on the content of that topic...so I don't know what makes him "tone deaf"...maybe you can elaborate further...the only thing I can go on with him is that at this point he seems to be a positive in the Ranger locker room...funny how those with far left views...many who embrace rap music- some of which references women as "****es and ho's" and promotion of drugs and violence- don't face the same rap that ADA faces for opposing the narrative imposed by the prevailing pop culture.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>DeAngelo is genuinely one of the most, if not the most hated players in the league off the ice. It's gone on record many, many times that the Flyers are super close as teammates and that they get along super well. DeAngelo absolutely does not fit that culture.

As for imply Philadelphia is a place built for obnoxious personalities well... I don't know what to tell you other than that's stupid logic</div></div>

Philly fans do have a bad reputation...but I myself will certainly not categorize all Philly fans based on the behavior of I'm sure a handful of jerks...and Philadelphia is not alone in having a few fans like that.

As far as ADA...would really like to know what your source is as far as being the most hated player off ice...he has had issues in the past- but those seem to be behind him. In the NYR locker room there is no evidence of him being a problem- and in fact- the other players seem to adore him. His political views are not in line with the main stream media and entertainment culture...but if that is required in your locker room- then he's certainly not your guy...but if that's what is looked for in any player- then that sounds a bit intolerant

Thread: Huge 1 for 1 trade just having some fun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onslaught77</b></div><div>I wouldn't go that far. You are undervaluing Laine and overvaluing point. It's impressive to get me to say that because I'm a leafs fan who laughed through 2 years of jets fans insisting Laine is so much better than Matthews he's near McDavid Level. Skillset I think Point is a more stable less risky acquisition but Laine is the bigger risk/reward. If a team is trading for Laine they are betting their staff can get him where he needs to be. With the right staff working with him Laine has franchise player potential. Point is an amazing player but he's not the face of a franchise.</div></div>

Respect your response...but Point is a 200 ft player who plays all situations well...Laine is a star on the PP- but not so much in other situations. Listen- I would love to have either on my team...but I just think Point brings so much more to the table...and he is a C (counts for a little bit)

Thread: RANGERS DREAM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>When you say reasonable do you mean civil? 2021 1st and 3rd seems like a good deal to get cirelli.. underpaying for him in my eyes. I don't think TB will offer him 6m either, not saying he isn't worth it, but thats a lot of juggling of 5m players to sign
their RFAs</div></div>

Considering what TB paid for Goodrow and Coleman- I think a 20211st and 3rd is a bit light...look- I certainly want to take advantage of this situation... but it’s not good business to go for the throat right away- short of that should still be able to work a decent deal...GMs that look to crush the others- what goes around comes around...that all said- if the favorable (yet civil) deal doesn’t work- then game on...at this point go for the jugular with an OS that really puts the screws to them.

Thread: Stop making a million trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>XBestOneYetX</b></div><div>As Aecliptic said, JD said the Rangers will not have 3 goalies and Hank told teammates after the last loss in the play in round goodbye as per Hajek. Hank gets bought out, that gives the Rangers 23 million in cap room. This team was utterly dominated by the Canes, they need a 2nd line center and a left handed d-man to play top pair minutes. There will be moves, likely Tony D and Strome moved while their value is highest along with the 22nd pick, guys like Anderson and Rykov who will not get a chance here also thrown into deals.</div></div>

Yes...the Rangers did say they wouldn't carry 3 goalies...yes- Hank supposedly gave some good byes. But do I believe it all? No- not until I see it...just like nobody would have predicted the Staal trade...lots of posturing going on. Did the Rangers get crushed by the Canes? Uh...yeah...but I wouldn't put too much weight on a short series after a 4+ month absence. I'm sure the Rangers will make some moves- they do need a 2C and a 1or 2 LD...but going "all in" to get a guy like Cirelli, Danault, and (of course) Eichel would probably involve parting with big pieces which the team has gone to great lengths to accumulate...In the end if a good trade is there- I have no problem with going for it...but the types of players we need will not come cheap or easy...JD has been preaching patience since he arrived...I would be surprised if we jumped the gun on any big name trade.
