Can't believe you made plans on Free Agent Frenzy day

I honestly think this was mostly Shatty. He really wanted to be a Ranger. This guy will be loved by Ranger fans

After I moved to jersey, the day I turned my NY license plates in for NJ ones was one of the worst days of my life

(frank) you and your Taylor ham

From Gorton's presser:
Where do things go now at center, "I would say that we have some ongoing things to try and help us at center, we know it's a need and a hole there we are trying to fix. We also have the luxury of JT Miller, who we feel is a natural center and at some point we are hoping he can make that move and that gives us a little flexibility. We are looking. We have had some discussions with teams and trade scenarios. Definitely aware of the situation and see how it moves going forward."

Sounds like a last resort at this point. I think Gorton would rather make a trade

Much prefer Miller as a winger. Now that Jumbo's beard has re-signed out west, we need a veteran center with leadership. Pretty lousy year for the free agency. Not sure who to target now.

Sounds like he's trying to make one happen for sure. I wonder if Yak is on our radar at all. Grigerenko would make more sense since he's a center, but Yak has a lot more offensive upside.

Whom for what return? No way Zucc leaves, he's getting an "A".

Loses- Lindberg Girardi Stepan Raanta
Additions- Shattenkirk Deangelo Pavlec

Are we a better team yet?

On Defense yes, by a wide margin

Backup goalie no....Raanta is one of the best backups in the league IMO so we weren't going to improve there

Offense...it is only July 1st so still time to find another center to replace Stepan

Avs let Grigorenko walk for free. Not crazy about him.I like Yak much more. I think he would be a good fit despite being a winger.

No idea but Gorton is talking with a bunch of teams so something is up

Not until we sign Drycycle.
Seriously though, we now have a dearth of centers. RHD and centers are this year's top crop. Not getting one cheap.

Blues let Yak walk for free too, but I'm with you that he's the forward in FA I'd like to see Gorton target despite being a winger.

Does anyone know if Shattenkirk got a NTC? If not that's huge and only makes the deal better.

He just turned 23 a month ago. I would absolutely take a chance on him, has good size just hasn't figured it out yet.
