Thread: Young team
Honestly, there's quite a bit that I don't like here.

Starting with the signings:
You have both Vesey ($3.2m wut?) and Namestnikov (should be under $4.0m) being overpaid. Bridging Skjei isn't the worst idea but it's far from the best, and I'd rather see him locked up long term in a team-friendly deal.

I think <a href="http://www.blueshirtsbreakaway.com/2018/06/11/rangers-rfa-contracts-what-to-realistically-expect/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">this article</a> can give you better insight on what each player is worth.


Second, I'm all for moving Hayes if the deal is right, but I don't think that's the one. I love Derek Ryan and even signed him (to a similar deal) on <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/146654&amp;post_id=501437">my armchair-gm</a>, but he's a UFA this year so getting his rights means nothing. I'm not willing to flip Hayes for Fleury straight up, and I'm certainly not including another pick in the deal.

Third, there's almost no shot at Howden being the 13th forward. The latest talk is that they're planning on involving him more in the core after his outstanding WHL season and the part he played in helping Canada win the WJC. They'll either leave him down to develop or clear a 3rd line role for him to play if they think he's ready.

Finally, what is that 4th line? Holland and McLeod aren't NHL'ers.

Disagree on both counts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Max27</b></div><div>Pateryn is not worth 2250000

Pateryn is a younger, healthier Girardi that plays physical (155 hits) and blocks shots (148 bs). That's exactly what NY needs to shore up their defense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Max27</b></div><div>DeAngelo is better than Staal, Pateryn, Pionk and Gilmour</div></div>

DeAngelo was an experiment. He's got a bad attitude and work ethic, and is way worse than any of those guys in his own end. Unless he's made massive improvements in the offseason, he's a 7th defender on any team at best.


EDIT:
I'm not the only one that thinks so either. <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/744605">This guy</a> has Pateryn at $3.0m and wants to ship off DeAngelo.
