Had a good weekend then?

No, I think the fact that I answer the calls keeps putting me in the queue. Which is exactly where I want to be.

I have no idea how you do it. I can't muster up the patience to even (frank) with them.

Yandle is 38 and at the end of his career?
- mdw7413

Not yandle hes 29 or 30 although giving up duclair a 1st and a second was a ton for him. Over the years the Rangers have always picked up guys at the end of their careers and overpaid them. I'm aware they were trying to win the cup the last few years and had 4 deep runs but they are going to pay for that with the lack of 5 straight first round picks. I wasn't necessarily knocking you just saying they traded away a ton of picks and some prospects

I am unable to acquiesce your request.

clearly you did not watch the youtube... I will throw in a 4th rounder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5bB4lLHLdo

Got a BJ while listening to a telemarketer once. I could tell he had an idea what was happening when he asked if "now was a good time to talk?" I said yup and made him say his spiel. Never got a call back from that group.

I agree. Was completely against the Staal pick up this year. The only good thing lately has been not signing old UFA's to huge contracts & term. Even Boyle was only 2 years. 2 miserable (frank)ing years. but just 2 none the less.

It's so much fun. Once you hear an angry middle eastern guy tell you to shove your card up your ass and to wait until tomorrow when he cancels all your cards...you're hooked.

Has there been one comment about getting a deal with Frans?

My favorite one was the "you won a free home security system" scam. I told them my address was (the White House's address) and they didn't pick-up until about 10 minutes later in the call. The guy asked me if I would be home or if the vice president would be there. He was not happy.

Well I still won't trade you Hall for him, but after watching the link I will admit to being curiously aroused.

Why wouldn't you knock him?.. They ended up giving up 2 first round picks and Callahan for St. Louis. Retired after 2 years.
Ryan clowe for 2 seconds and a 3rd
Yandle gave up Duclair, Moore a second and 3rd. He is a UFA.
Staal .. can't imagine they are going to sign him. gave up 2 second round picks.. also a UFA.

Yea he had what 6 points in 20 games for you guys. Did he even have a point in the playoffs? 2 seconds for him? He's been in decline the last few years you'd be better off with him going back to carolina. I'm so glad Boyle went to the Rangers which allowed us to get leddy and boychuk, that and Vanek saying no were two of the best things to happen to the isles. The Rangers still have a decent core but they are in cap hell with no picks, Sather pretty much franked them

2 2nds and a 3rd rounder Saarela.

Have no idea what they were thinking this year.

Callahan, they gave up too much for, but honestly Tampa is stuck with him for the next 4 years at 5.8 cap hit for a 4th liner. That would have been absolutely awful if the Rangers were stuck with that.

well it's a knock on the rags for sure. I'm used to being surrounded by all rangers fans up here and hearing how great they are Christ we had the farm team here for years which made it worse especially when the one Ferraro brother would go on the bench for a pee wee house game and scream his face off over terrible hockey which made me hate them even more. I will say when cairns Langdon and vandenbosch were down here there were some great brawls

Callahan is a great role player and one of the reasons Tampa is as good as they are. I still can't stand him or 6'7 vag on skates boyle though

Boyle, the biggest punching bag in the league.

Yeah, but would you want a 4th liner taking up 5.8 of your cap? I highly doubt you guys would be willing to pay that much for Clutterbuck, Czikas, or Martin.

I remember 4 years ago when you guys were hyping up Reinhart as the next Shea Weber

Must be nice having prospects to always brag about considering you can't be proven wrong yet
- rangerdanger94

says the troll....

you're the one condemning kids who are pretty much tearing up their respective leagues.

We were never bragging or talking up Reinhart(at least not many). He was highly ranked by all the scouting services. Pedigree name. Big kid. it was a safe pick at a time we had a glut of forwards in the system.

Come on we traded for Tim Thomas just to get to the cap floor and help Boston clear cap space idk what you're talking about. I wonder if that's why we got the 16th and 33rd pick for reinhart maybe Chiarelli owed snow a favor

Was saying to Chiefs this morning that was pretty damn good trade. Guess the Oilers thought they might have seen something in Griff that nobody else did.(Besides looking like the afluenza kid)

Figured the favor would have been taking Mottau and Pandolfo off our hands.

Those were two incredibly useless sh!theaps.

I never liked the reinhart picked. His numbers in the WHL never impressed me that much. I preferred Dumba, Rielly or Trouba.

We got barzal and beauvillier for him I'm sure Edmonton would love to trade him back for either one already........you've beven snowed

Edit: they owe us a good deal on hall from the Mottau pandolfo deal
