It was a cheap hole filled. It addressed 1 need. Jesus how is this so hard to understand.

It's a cheap hole filled the same way Glass was a cheap filler too

Aka our depth still blows

If someone could teach Grabner how to score on a breakway and he converted even 50% of the tinme He is a 30 goal scorer again.

Yeah Rangerdanger is just doing his shtick after trashing Grabner for years on here. He can't swallow his pride an admit the Rangers filled a need cheaply.

I wouldn't be surprised if Grabner finds himself on a different line than the fourth. He has speed which the Rags lost trading Haggy. He will definitely make a difference on the PK with his speed as well. Nice move by the Rags.

Plenty of summer for other moves. It's not going to hurt the Rangers to add those two.

I don't usually tweet hockey but hearing major deal between Oilers and avs is extremely close. Should be done in next 48 hrs. #barrie



McJesus for E. Johnson...

Yeah, I really do like the signing. He isn't being brought in to score or play top line minutes. Rangers had a big hole in the PK last year, and they just filled it.
- mdw7413

We'll see. I haven't paid any attention to him once he left the Island. I don't know if he lost a step. The question will be can he stay healthy. While signing him certainly didn't break the bank I can see why some Ranger fans don't like it. It feels like one of those cheap Garth Snow type moves. If he just had slightly better hands he'd be making 5 mil a year easy.

You're right. The Rangers blew the bank signing 2 4th liners for 2.1 mil to fill a need of a PK that was bottom 10 in the league last year. Christ you're dumb sometimes. You do know they can still make other moves throughout the summer right?

For a 4th liner I don't mind. Its either him or some scrub from the Wolfpack. Rather take my chances on Grabner

Mat Martin sign for 4 Million per year yet?

They can make moves their pk will be better but they need help on d with staal and g aging and some more scoring. Mclyrath should get way more ice he's solid

Grabner made sense for the Rangers. They could not go after the top FA's with their Cap situation. I liked Grabner on the Isles. Had issues with staying healthy and converting on chances. Great speed though.

If those are the choices then I agree they are better off with Grabner.

Thats just it. I have said they need some help in a top 6 winger. I'm just talking about the Grabner/Gerbe thing. It was a smart cheap move to fill a need. They definitely need to make another move or 2 in their top 9. I am by no means saying that Grabner/Gerbe is all they should do.

Would you have preferred to keep Stalberg?

Yes...yes you are
- Upstate_isles

I'm not that much of a homer. Rangers should go after JVR.

Would you have preferred to keep Stalberg?
- Ur Not Me

Before they got Grabner yes, after no because Stalberg was bad on the PK.

Basically identical point wise, Grabner way better on the PK though

I like him already:

Damn did the Country Club need him.

All the people that defended snow on Twitter the other day for not trading Hamonic for Hall are nowhere to be seen. Maybe they realized what a retard he truly is. Or they're trying to come up with another excuse for him. (frank) Garth Snow!

MM 2.5 four 4 years to Toronto.

4 million my ASS

@reporterchris
