Thread: (NYR/COL) - Georgiev for 2x 3rd, 1x 5th

Georgiev has in the past been a very solid 'tandem' goalie, he just really struggles in the traditional 'plays 1 in every 5 games' type of backup role which is what he had this past couple seasons (and would have going forward if he'd stayed in NY). If the Avs are planning to put him in that kind of spot he could be great for them and well worth the picks paid. (I still voted NYR win because he hasn't been able to show his potential for a while now so they're taking the chance that he can pick it back up)

Thread: No team has ever won the cup with 10 million dollar players

I mean, when Crosby signed his deal his cap hit was 14.5% of the cap which just under a $12m AAV in today's cap, and it's only even that low because of serious backdiving for the next 3 seasons... he was making $10.9m in actual salary when they won the back to back cups (at which point his cap hit still took up 12%+ of the cap). So honestly the stars of 'today' are... pretty much following his example, as much as the current contract rules allow.

Thread: 2021-2022 NHL Playoffs Discussion Thread #4 - And Then There Were Eight

My bracket was doing great after round 1, had 8/8 correct, but now down to 2/4 as I had Flames and Canes winning (as a NYR fan I'm happy to be wrong on that one!), but my final still has a chance as I have Avs over Bolts. (But will again be happy to be wrong on one side of that final...)

decent bottom 6 potential, well above what would be expected form a 6th round pick, but wasn't really given much of a shot in NY

Thread: New York Rangers signed Mika Zibanejad (8 Years / $8,500,000 AAV)

Pretty much what I expected from this deal. And I figure even if the last couple seasons end up an overpay when he hits mid-30s, he's been super underpaid the last few seasons so it's a wash for me. (Also the cap should be going up some by then hopefully!)

I always find it interesting that the Canadian-born Perlini brother plays for GB internationally, and the British-born brother has played for Canada... (I vaguely recall hearing that Brendan had contacted Kirk when he got drafted as he was with Arizona at the time and his brother obviously knew him already)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Crazy66</b></div><div>Werent they just saying this guy got rights to speak to other teams? Is this a legit signing or a sign and trade?</div></div>

According to an recent interview my sister found, they had decided to let him speak to teams after the worlds performance, then Kirk and the GM had a discussion and whatever he said there impressed enough for them to decide to sign him after all, with the plan to see how he fits in to the system and develops in the AHL.

However it goes from here, this is great news for the hockey community here in the UK!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>What do you mean, "treatment of K'Andre Miller"?</div></div>

we haven't had a lot of details about that one, but one story I did see is that apparently he collected up the puck from Miller's first goal and then just... didn't give it to him. The story has been 'officially' refuted but I suspect there's a grain of truth in there (like maybe he did eventually hand it over but not immediately and was a POS about it in the meantime, or something)

Thread: Any idea on how the playoffs are going to be structured for 20-21?

NOTHING has been set in stone. And how they do playoffs might depend a lot on what the border travel situation looks like by then, so even when they actually start announcing stuff it might be they have more than 1 playoff option in play.

Rangers were already top 5 in scoring last season, and were one of only 2 teams that didn't get shut out in a single game (that other team was Tampa). Scoring isn't their big problem...

I don't think things change that much in the next 6-7 months...
If they're trading valued assets (RD or otherwise) for a C, it's gonna be for someone who can slot in as a 2C straight away

If the Rangers had wanted Brisson, they could have just taken him instead of trading up for Schneider. So pretty sure they say no to that one.

Thread: BaseSalaries-FORWARDS-ScoringBonuses

This kind of thing makes me worried about how much the Rangers are going to have to pay Zibanejad when his contract is up in 2 years. He currently makes around half of the amount this formula would give him! (I will not begrudge paying the man because he's been my favourite since before he took off and he's such a steal now but they're gonna have to be careful with their cap space!)

Another goalie is really not what the Rangers are in need of, even without paying as much as this.

Thread: New York Rangers signed Ryan Strome (2 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)

pretty much exactly what I've been expecting all off-season. Leaves the Rangers a *tiny* bit of flexibility this season (assuming Lemieux comes in somewhere around 1.5) and unless he falls off a cliff this season should be very movable either next offseason or as a rental.

It's 3.95 now but would be 5.1 if miller and kravtsov were added. If Strome&Lemieux come in cheaper than expected and/or they run with fewer than 23 on the roster for a bit might be able to bank enough space to bring them in in late Feb

I thought 2 to 2.5 was probably a reasonable number for him so this seems fine. Hopefully we will still be able to keep him for a reasonable number after this bridge expires, since we'll no doubt be paying Shesty a bunch more by then...

I hope this works out well for Buffalo because I can see it massively backfiring if not. If this doesn't at least get them into a 'bubble' spot, if not the playoffs, who is going to want to stay there (inc Eichel)? "we won the big fish in free agency and still completely sucked" wouldn't inspire a lot of confidence in the org.

Hopefully he's just there to be 'competition' for the young LD kids coming in to have someone to beat to make the team. And he can spend most of the season solidly in the press box...
