Like the Avalanche, Rangers, Lightning, Dallas...

Rangers were a good team in general. Dallas is good too. Agree with COL and TBL

franson

take a look at his numbers last 2 seasons, his age, and look what other sign for in that area.

leafs should be able to get a 2nd rounder or early 3rd rounder for Franson.

Lupul has worth, he was on pace for like 84 points 2 seasons ago, and he still banged in 22 last year. kadri had a tough year in his sophmore season.

yeah you are right these guys are worth nothing, just buy them out like grabo.

know it all douche.
- big_dion

That wasn't at all what that post was for of course they would match it. He said we cant offer sheet because we have no 2nd round pick. My point was it doesn't matter cause the offer sheet would be over 6 mil and would be all first rounders no 2nd needed.

that were the discussion is/was going.
four 1st going the other way then stay away from that offer sheet.
RoR is not worth four 1st.

Over $5,046,585 to $6,728,781 First-round, second-round and third-round pick
Over $6,728,781 to $8,410,976 Two first-round picks, second-round pick, third-round pick
Over $8,410,976 Four first-round picks

The Rags and the Habs were pretty much statistically even.

edit: Kari Lehtonen had a great season too

Rangers do not make the playoffs with mediocre goaltending. there's a reason that their record stunk until Lundqvist turned it on last year.

Almost nobody in the world is...until all four are busts and hindsight abounds.

Well ya anyone with a good goalie is a threat to make the playoffs. A goalie is the only player who can actually control the game. Goaltending is the most important position but yet they get paid less.

Who would have thought that playoff teams have solid goaltending ?






except Pittsburgh

because there are so many good ones. supply and demand. think about how many teams have a true #1 goalie. then think about how many teams have a true #1 centre and true #1 dman.

Rangers were also one of the better possession teams in the league, finished 6th overall. They're good.

not even Glen Wesley was worth 4 1sts

Watch the games, nerd!!!!

No love for Trevor Smith? he was great till he got hurt



James Van Riemsdyk – Tyler Bozak – Phil Kessel

Joffrey Lupul – Nazem Kadri – Matt Frattin

Leo Komarov – Petri Kontiola – David Clarkson

Troy Bodie – Mike Santorelli – Trevor Smith

Defense

Dion Phaneuf – Jake Gardiner

Roman Polak – Morgan Rielly

Stephane Robidas – Cody Franson

Goalies

Jonathan Bernier

James Reimer


Kadri and Frattin get a shot to recreate this




Dion can play his right side finally, Jake gets more minutes
- PinkSock

Hey hey, Frattin can't play on the 2nd line because apparently his name isn't "big", but let's forget his amazing chemistry with Kadri for whatever reason..

Goalies are often pretty inconsistent from year to year. The top guys like Lundqvist who've proven to be great over multiple seasons still get paid.

I wouldn't say there are too many good ones. Good goalies don't grow on trees.

- peddy-93

Fact is, the Devils were even better than the rags in that regard...

...but 45 games of Marty Brodeur cost them a playoffs spot.



Goaltending matters.

look at what the Leafs paid for a solid #1. virtually nothing. scraps. there aren't "too" many but there doesn't need to be.
