So I got a NYR jersey for my birthday. It's blank on the back so I need to get it customized. I'm leaning towards Lundqvist as he's A) awesome and locked up for a while. Also seeing as how Avery is most likely gone it'd be stupid to get him. Then I had a thought about getting "Vedder" #10 put on. Clever or cheesy?

I saw a crap load of Cubs Jersey's this tour with #10 and VEDDER

Van. with a HUGE offer to Sundin by the sounds of it.
Gonna be weird going to Canes games next year not seeing Cole on the ice. I'm not surprised because he's never been the same since the Orpik hit and there have been rumors of them dealing him for the last 2 years. I just hope Pitkanen blossoms.
Not too bad moneywise, compared to the deals of the day of course.
TSN ranked both of these guys in the top 10 in available D-men, so you knew they weren't going cheap.
You guys are still in the hunt for the available forwards. Word is you're a little too close to Vancouver's retarded offering

It's definitely not smart for Vancouver. It'd only be for the money if Sundin were to accept it.
I can't imagine any other team matching that offer either. Toronto offered 7, Montreal offered 8, and they didn't say/know what NYR offered. Detroit pulled out because it got out of hand.
Apparently you're involved in the bidding for all 3.
I think (this is personal opinion) that NYR is the only team Jagr is interested in (in the NHL, at least) although the TSN folks are hinting that Pittsburgh are after him.
And yes, you overpaid for the defenseman but compared to the ridiculous signings elsewhere it isn't too bad. Actually my math was way off. The Redden deal belongs among the ridiculous

Sorry, 3 I meant were Sundin, Hossa and Jagr.
I have no idea what is up with Avery but have heard on TSN that the Stars were after him.
They said the day before that the Leafs were a good fit for him but didn't say they Leafs were actually after him, and didn't bring it up too much yesterday.
All in all it was a pretty boring day. Most of the signings were just plain stupid, and even with a salary cap it looks like the retarded "money-talks" days that gave us a lockout in the first place.
We lost two in Montreal, but I'm only on the fence about one of them.
Edmonton did some good work, if you ask me.

yea i read dallas and detroit
like i said sundin forces us to move drury back to a wing
we got him to play center..it makes 0 sense
You will have ZERO cap flexibility for the next 4 years. Basically the Rangers will be fielding this exact team for the next 4 years, more or less. You have just enough money with cap increase to resign your RFA’s. As kids come up, you can trade pieces for picks to make room, and stockpile more talent in the minors. For example, you can build up Pruchas value this year, and then trade him to make room for Cherepanov next year. You can build up value in Potter or Girardi, and trade them to make room for Sanguinetti, and so on.
I guess ive been a little bitchy today, which probably goes with the territory of being a stat junkie and a very analytical person, but I think this could work both short term, and long term.

Even still you would still be better with Sundin than without and having Drury still on center.
What do you guys have left on the cap after the Rosival and Redden signings?
Hossa is a money player, as we are all aware (or should be). Edmonton will probably match or beat any offers on him.

hope slats knows what he is doing

Right now the team looks something like…
Prucha Gomez Callahan
Dawes Drury Korpikoski
Sjostrom Dubinsky Rismiller
Voros Betts Orr
Hollweg
Byers
Staal Redden
Rozsival Girardi
Tyutin Backman
Pock
Henrik
Vally.
Weve got 9 million to spend.
Waive Backman
Now you have 11.3 million to spend.
Waive Hollweg
Now you have 11.8 million to spend.
Trade Tyutin for Andrew Vermette
Ottawa needs defense, and hes an RFA.
Sign him for 3 years at 2.2 per
11.8+2.8-2.2=12.4
Sign Marian Hossa for 6 years @ 8 mil per
Sign Brooks Orpik for 4 Years @ 4.4 per
Your roster now looks like this:
Vermette Gomez Hossa
Dawes Drury Callahan
Korpikoski Dubinsky Prucha
Sjostrom Betts Voros
Orr/Rismiller
Staal Redden
Rozsival Orpik
Girardi Potter
Pock
Lundqvist
Valliquette
