The isles signing Ladd to a 7 year deal when he's turning 31 this year is something the Rangers usually do. Glad we stayed away from that.

Ladd must have been Snow's number 1 this year. That contract is going to bite them in a few years.

He'll actually be bought out with no penalty after the next lockout in what 4 years? No way he finishes that contract in NY. He is exactly the kind of player this team needs for the next 4 years

He has only been an Islander for 24 hours and you already have to make a plan to get rid of him

I think you will regret this contract by the trade deadline of year 1

Good contract, if we didn't have such a mess on the right side already that would have been a good pickup for us.

Pretty sure the Rangers Stanley Cup window all but closed this past season. Hank is still the man but with those Staal and Girardi contracts I can't see them contending any more. Not to mention the division is pretty stacked.

There are only two Rangers, other than the RFA who have any trade value, of note. Hank and MCD. There is no reason to trade MCD! And nobody wants to trade Hank. Even if they asked him to waive his NMC, it's pretty good bet they would need to eat a chuck of his contract. So, when you look at it realistically, they have no options.

You don't think players like brassard, zucc, Klein, Stepan, Skjei etc have any value to other teams?

The question is, why would you trade any of the players you mentioned? Other than Stepan, whose NMC, just kicked in, the others have manageable contracts, or are players you wouldn't want to deal.

I think the core could use a little shakeup so if so of those rumors for example of a Stepan/duchene type of package is out there I am listening to all

I mean right now the Rangers replaced Staal, yandle, Moore and stalberg with grabner, Holden and gerbe

They cant honestly sit there and say we are good going into next year. I expect a trade at some point to shake things up.
