Yes, a low cost option for the bottom six. That one bothers me as well.

Don't get the love affair with Hendricks basically the same player as Boyle not much better DONT need to spend almost 4 mil,on the same two players.

Boyle Pyatt Dorsett is a very good 4th line all three can possibly score 10-15 goals not many teams can boast that. Rangers need better option for third line

He had a break out year before this season.

Hopefully, he reverts to that 66-point form from 11-12 or else this deal is just another exhibit as to why this league locks out after the current CBA expires.

They worked well in the playoffs despite Boston making short work of the Rangers.

Need to fill that third line spot a bit and they will be fine at forward.

Like Oldschool stated, Sather will ruin the team that does.

The thing is... Pyatt and Boyle arent of the "pest" or "nuisance" mold. Plus with a decreased reliability on crashing the net and diving in front of pucks, that means skating will be at a premium and Boyle certainly isnt a great skater, Pyatt is an average skater. But I give Pyatt benefit of the doubt because he played and succeeded under AV for a couple years.

I agree but there are still plugs out there to be signed. I wouldn't mind Lapierre or Moore, especially Moore. Eithe rone of those guys is comparable to Hendricks. As far as Nystrom goes, yea he was intriguing but I bet Nashville overpaid for his services as well.
- MidnightMarauder


I agree with not signing these crazy deals to people but I can't deal any more guys like Dominic Moore either. Another guy barely 6'0 190 lbs soaking wet. Where is gonna play anyway?

Rather not sign anyone if its gonna be Moore types IMO

It may be nice that we aren't jumping into this madness, but one thing that hurts us a lot is Stepan, McDonagh, Hagelin's contract values. By comparables, Stepan should be seeking 5M. 22 year old 80pt. player by contrast will not be satisfied with 4M per year, not when players with lesser stats and lesser roles are getting 5-6M per right now.

Now if they could sign Blum, I will say we escaped this free agency safely without killing ourselves.

I know the emphasis on size is key for you but Moore is a tough player, depsite lacking a serious physical presence.

Glen Sather is less than useless.
13 years, zero cup appearances, zero cups, and one of the best goalies in the league the past 3 or 4 years. then he does not buyout Mister Softie, brad richards, who destined to become wade redden 2014.

Moore is a very good player, and since were such stat whores around here, hes a couple years removed from an 18 goal season.
