The Shatty deal is a win, win. The Rangers get a top RH dmam, at a very manageable contract. He gets to play for the team he always wanted to play for.

His is a great deal. Pumped for hockey again! I love the summer but I want it to be September now!

... and after buying out Girardi, originally only having Kampher, but now as a call up only.
However, the question is who sits out in some or most games if Deangelo is on the roster, & if so, will one get traded, i.e., among Staal or Holden?
McD - Shatty
Skjei - Smith
Staal/Holden - Holden/Deangelo

- RangerSaver

It is only July 1, still plenty of time left to reshape the roster. Maybe someone like Holden is used as trade bait for a top 9 center

If Gorton can get rid of Staal and Holden he should get a 10 year extension

Is Puempel a center? Maybe he's our 4th line center?

Pretend it's June 30, 2021, with Gorton getting ill while at Applebees, and Sather is forced to hold the final say:
The Rangers announce the extension of Kevin Shattenkirk at $7M per season for 7 seasons, along with a full No Trade Clause, and Bonus privileges.

Draisaitl means you lose Skjei and that's not debatable.

Man, Shatty must really want to be a Ranger to sign only a four year deal at less than $7 million per.

Now they really,really need a center or two.

- Pete V

In regards to him really wanting to be a Ranger, I believe it was former Rangers' (& now NY Giants') beat writer of the Daily News, in Pat Leonard, who first stated back 2 years ago that Shatty would be willing to play for less money overall, only for his hometown rooting interest Rangers, than if offered higher elsewhere. If it was Leonard, I don't recall if it was in a Daily News article, or if he spoke about it on some internet or XM radio hockey show, or even on a local NY tv sports show such as "SNY's "Sportsnite or a weekday evening talk show, NBC's "Miked Up" Sunday midnight show, etc.
Now they do still need 1 or 2 centers (depending on whether Andersson makes the roster), along with possibly some grit up front.

Nyr also has that you g Russian from khl as well.

Just heard some Fortin quotes about center. He said their are some trade scenarios he's been discussing with teams and a FewFA available. He mentioned also about moving miller to center eventually.

Seems that a center will be coming soon. Phew. Hopefully a difference maker

Yea Gorton did say he has had trade discussions with teams about centers. Might not happen today but sounds like before the summer is over, the Rangers will make a trade for a center.
