I would argue I would rather have Trouba at 8 million a year than Lindgren at 6
- TPC

The Rangers need every cent, so if it's Trouba at 8 or Lindgren at 6, I'll take Lindgren at 6.

Fil should be 2C...his FO % sucked during the season, but for some reason he was better than Vinny in the playoffs. He needs to work on FOs in a serious way or his line's possession numbers will lead to massive amounts of goals against.

When are they signing Laf wtf. Could they be working on a trade?🤔

I have a feeling Drury is going to pull an uncle Lou job soon and announce a handful of moves at the same time.

To clarify: I don't want that deal. But I think a deal like that could happen.

Maybe its me, or I'm impatient, but it's very concerning that LAF hasn't signed yet. When's the last time a first round pick took this long? Starting to think he doesn't want to be here.

when was the last time a first overall pick signed his 2nd contract for something under than 3 million a year I think is the better question

It's discouraging to look at the list of 1st round picks and to think we have a Yakupov.

Brooks on Laf and remaining roster moves in Post Sports+ today:
(K'Andre) Miller, of course, is back on a two-year deal for an average annual value of $3.872M. Lafreniere, mystifyingly, remains unsigned. As of now, there is no cause for concern. It’s merely a head-scratcher. But if this drags on another couple of weeks, it could become a headache.

The Rangers are five contracts under the league-mandated maximum of 50 within the organization, so that is not a problem, nor is finding a place where he might look to add.

I don’t think this forward roster has enough hard edges to it. I don’t envision the Rangers being pushed around, but I don’t see much physical presence there. I don’t see a forward who would give pause to the opposition. I don’t see players who would arrive with — what did Fred Shero call it? — malice aforethought.

Zack Kassian is still out there. Austin Watson, flaws and all, is, too. So are the more skilled Anders Bjork and Colin White. Max Comtois is also available, though there are mixed reports about the 24-year-old who was not qualified by Anaheim at $2.55 million.

The team is set on the right side of the defense with Adam Fox, Jacob Trouba and Braden Schneider, but there is no organizational depth of which to speak behind that trio. Ty Emberson and Mac Holloway are the next two righties in line unless the team would move Zac Jones to his off side in case of an emergency.

So if Ethan Bear and/or Cal Foote is still without a contract early next month, it would not be the worst idea to attempt to sign either

the difference though is that I think Lafreniere will have an NHL career until he's 40 years old, it just may be 3rd line production

Yakupov was a lazy, cocky doosh who cant even last with KHL teams too long without being sent packing

I always remember Zach kassian was the doosh who hit Vesey hit the mouth when he was a rookie and his teeth came out and got stuck in his bottom lip and while he was laying on the ice Kassian was swimming like a shark around him telling him"I hope you bleed out"

Multiple suspensions back up your point.

Yeah this has got to be one of the slowest summers I can remember. Nothing exciting has happened in the longest time. How long till training camps begin?
