Thread: NY Ranger 19-20 Part 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aastorino1993</b></div><div>These numbers are all based on rumors I have heard and seen since the draft. The sharks are a bit different because they are in a win now mode and they have the rep of making sure they can sign their bridge deal guys low and then pay them in their big contracts. They have been doing that since Pavelski and Thorton came to the team back in the day so the Sharks are different than most.</div></div>

I'm not criticizing your numbers...definitely in line with what everyone else is putting out there (including me)...it just seems that if there is a team that needs to low ball 1 or 2 contracts...its the Rangers...once those guys hit UFA years they are going to look to bang the Rangers for as much as they can irregardless of what they are paid now...its all about the leverage...smart teams manage to buy out some UFA years by paying heavier up front...neither Lemieux nor ADA really warrant that because both still need to prove they are NHL players, let alone players deserving of a big commitment.
