Pierre the Great Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 So much for the idea of 'lets make Naslund's agent GM' idea. This deserves two giant sacastic thumbs up. Damn, where's Stealth when we need him. He's off in Bloody old England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I doubt it's about money. It's about winning. If he wants to finish his career on a high note with a shot at the cup, he'll sign with Montreal. If he's a sadist, he'll sign with Toronto. That sux0rs if thats true. Sundin has been a Laff for 13 years so he must be a sadist. Did the Cannes change their slogan to "we'll take your whiny, lazy, and useless" and then actually make them fit. First Samsonov, and now Cole for Pitkinen? :?- Whats next? sign Burtuzi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 With so many players coming and going, it's hard to say if the Rangers will be better or worse than last season. Out: Jagr Shannahan Straka Avery Toots Malik Mara Backman In: Zherdev Naslund Fritsche Voros Rissmiller Jamtin Redden Kalinin I expect major chemistry problems for them in the beggining of the season. Upgrade/Downgrade DOWNGRADE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'd say a big upgrade. Straka was dependent on Jagr, they won't miss either. Zherdev should fill in nicely for Jagr. Naslund is a downgrade over Shanahan for now but the Rangers play a much different style and Nazzy won't be held back anymore playing with Gomez or Drury. Signing Aaron Voros was probably one of the most overlooked signings on July 1st and he should be a big upgrade over the headcase Avery. Wade Redden really only had one bad season and should be a massive upgrade over Fedor Tyutin. Danny Fristche's two way game was coming along nicely in Columbus and should provide some good depth. Only change I don't like is Kalinin over Mara, Kalinin was loathed in Buffalo and basically run out of town. I don't think he'll find his game but overall I like the moves the Rangers have made. Yeah they've signed big names like always but instead of adding a big name for the sake of it, they appear to be very calculated moves and filling needs. The Rangers are going to be a good team next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Oh come on Nazzy has literally The past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Oh come on Nazzy has literally The past few years. And his offensive support has dwindled and has started playing in an increasingly defensive system which he's not suited for at all. It's the same Demitra in Minnesota, he could've torn things up with Gaborik but couldn't because of the system. Gomez and Zherdev>whatever assmonkeys they stick him with in Vancouver. Stealth was saying the same thing, he'll return to form if he went into an offensive system. Thats exactly what they've got in New York. Besides, I said it was a downgrade for now anyway. He's probably the most likely player that was signed to turn things around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 The Rag$ with their turnstyle superstar mentality will foul up again most likely. Maybe they'll break through like in 1994 but in the big picture of things it's more likely that Sather and Naslund are wasting time and space!

jetsniper Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 damn no, happy to see him goes to West. Yeah, everyone is getting better except the Northwest where teams are basically the same or worse. All Edmonton's moves did is get them to catch up to the rest of us. I've got a feeling we're going to be the Southeast of the West next year, I hope I'm wrong.

So basically Carle, a 4th and two 1sts for two overpaid players. Granted Boyle is a great defenceman but his contract is very large and that's a hell of a return.

Granted Boyle is a great defenceman but his contract is very large and that's a hell of a return. After firing a winning coach (regular season) the Sharks have to keep near the top of the WEST if they dont the GM will lose his job next.

Psycing Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Guys wake up ! Jagr signed a 2 years 35M$ contract !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you mean a 2-year, 10M$ contract? Local and international media were reporting that Jagr will be paid $35 million for two years. However, in an interview with TSN Jagr, himself, says the deal would pay him $5 million annually.

Athlétique.Canadien Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Rivet is now with the Buffalo Sabres. Sabres acquire Rivet from Sharks - NHL.COM The Sharks sent the 33-year-old veteran and a seventh-round selection in the 2010 Entry Draft to the Sabres in exchange for second-round selections in the 2009 and 2010 Drafts. Rivet will help the Sabres replace Dmitri Kalinin, who signed with the New York Rangers on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
