7 mill or very, very close to it is a lot of cash.

Only for 4 years.

I would have done that easily

Seems like a good deal for the Rangers.

They shortened the term but still waaaaaaaaaaay too much money. Didn't they learn from Yandle experience?

That 7 mill price tag is still a lot, hard to get past that but I agree.

But at only 4 years he left a ton of money on the table, Botts did a nice job getting ahead of it. Behind Shattenkirk you can make the case Scandella is better than any d on the market

Talked to Shattenkirk camp. He hasn't decided where he will sign yet, reports otherwise are premature.

4 years $7 million/year for Shattenkirk is more than fine. Term is far more important than than the dollar amount.

Bruins weren't to happy we got Scandella, they were pushing hard for him. Shattenkirk still doesn't get the Rangers a cup if it the signing does really happen like Kevin Weeks said

That's a lot for a 3rd line center. Although, we just acquired a $6 million 3rd line winger...

I can tell you that the reported deal between Rangers and Shattenkirk is not accurate.

It is for Bonino but i'm happy with our deal yesterday even though I was never a huge Pommer fan. Team is different now so maybe it will work out.

It is an impressive pile of dough, but the 4 years is what makes the deal appealing. Surprised he didn't get more...allegedly.

We had the flexibility to take on Pominville's contract and Bruins didnt, thankfully
