Waaay better than a crappy 1 year deal.

I'll take Zibby's 5.35 over Step's 6.5 all week

mention that they got a first round pick and took the great Kerby Rychel, don't mention that we got a 3rd round pick and took Pavel Buchnevich

Just the playoff games played...

Brass 2 more years for 5M per or Zibby's 5 years at 5.35M per?

yup...
- 21peter

not saying I'm happy or not with the trade as I'm still on the fence on that but Brass is at 3.5M for the next 2 years salary-wise...

definitely don't care how much $$$ the Rangers spend on a player, you guys may worry about that, we definitely don't worry about it

Agreed that the trade doesn't have a clear winner as of now.

I'm sure you know just how important those salary $$ are for the NYR...

Glad a deal got done. Idk why they had to go to arbitration if they just settled on Z's price though.

they didn't, they negotiated the deal in the room before the hearing took place, as per Mika

Stop with the false narrative.. It was his price for an arbitration term. Getting that price for five years, rather than 1 or 2, isn't settling on Zib's term. There is a big difference, and the more years a guy signs for, buying up free agent years, there more he's going to get annually.

I know that. But didn't Z submit a number close to the 5.3 marker? Idk why each party to even have a hearing if they were both willing to settle.
