  1. what a mistake that was! We should have given him 2 million a year!
  2. The rangers cant afford to keep everyone that is why everyone is talking about Girardi and Callahan.... The Penquins got rid of Staal and the flyers got rid of half the team..... These are true, but there will be people leaving because of those deals.
  3. OFFICIAL C: PARISE A: BROWN, SUTER Cant say that I hate it. Seems like good choices jsut thought backes or callahan would get the nod over brown
  4. Backes gets the C Callahan Suter and Parise gets the A well two of them do
  5. I think they can as well it just cant be both at the max deals. They cant afford to give them more than around 10mil each
  6. I dont think Chicago can afford him at 100. Toews will only get slightly less. That would be giivng both of them the max if they took 8 year deals....
  7. Really? If we re-signed ott and moulson and got a top 6 forward along with keeping miller and getting RC? We would easily get into the playoffs. We would probably lose in the first round though. The market will say he is worth at least 6-7 Yup maybe even higher depending on cap. Sorry if that was bad? I wasnt calling him dumb...... I like LGRs posts a lot and like debating with him on a topic such as this. He is one of a select few that can go back and forth while debating points and providing info and explanation.
  8. Why not try to get the best players that we can to play with our most promising rookie? I think he is going to get to his ceiling no matter what because of the things you said. But you made it out like we should challenge him with lesser linemates. Callahan on this roster and on his line makes the team better. It will make him better as well. I dont think its going to be the difference between Z and his ceiling but I most certainly think that it would improve the teams ceiling immensely.
  9. Oh I didnt see that. Just the picture that someone posted above...
  10. I understand your money points and i have stated why i disagree with it. However , your point about Z is absolutely dumb. Make it harder for him to succeed to make him better? That makes zero sense and absolutely no GM thinks that way. No team on earth is going to try to not improve on purpose because it might have a chance of making a player better? That wont work. Not if he wants to come to Buffalo. I think we can get him for less than 7 million but I would give him up to 7 million. That is what I said, The GM was quoted as saying it....
  11. Eh I have heard from people who live close to the homes with the Big K's on them in South Buff that he wants to come here. So if he doesnt sign an extension it is still a possibility. I still have hope until he signs.
  12. between 6-7 million isnt insane..... It is his market value and what he is looking to get from the Rangers. The Rangers GM has said and so have hockey writers all over that he deserves that kind of money. The rangers cant give it to him because they tried to circumvent rules before the CBA with front loaded deals. Which means that they are going to have an invisible player making 5.75 million dollars a year in all likelihood. That is why there was a 1-3. It doenst make sense to say girgs can do it on his own, why not surround him with the kind of talent that can help him thrive? Guess what after he plays with callahan, he will be even better. Then when he comes up on his UFA season, callahans contract will be ending and he will be the one getting the 8-9% of cap contract.
  13. Why even give him wingers then? Heck we should eliminate a defensive pair as well. He can just go out there alone and do it. Callahan at six million a season is a dream scenario to lead this rebuild out of the basement and into the playoffs in 1-3 years.
  14. Yes. A third liner that plays on the #1 PK and the PP. Someone who is a proven leader and workhorse who is the prototypical TN player.
  15. So you have a third line of Girgs Callahan and Foligno. Shutdown! Also Girgs plays center. Also doesnt have the scoring touch that Callahan does. Playing with RC can only help Girgs develop into a player like him. We will know if Kane wants to be here if he signs an extension. Which according to the Chicago GM they have it in the works. Including him saying "Kane and Toews WILL be Blackhawks for life".
  16. Idk i think we have the cheapest beer in the NHL currently. So it might hit 9 bucks
  17. So we have two #2 centers one in which you want in a checking line role. However our center needs are not as dire as they were two years ago. If even one of these guys progresses fast, which is pretty likely we are looking at a pretty good stable of centers. Plus a pretty easy way of making a good center is giving him good wingers.
  18. That team would wipe this one off the ice. Gratton as the third line center? I like that team! I would love to watch them.
  19. 1. Mikhail Grigorenko Pro 7.5 B 2. Zemgus Girgensons Pro 6.5 B 3. Johan Larsson Pro 6.5 B 4. JT Compher NCAA 6.5 C Hodgson also while grabbing that our number one strength on hockeys future is DEPTH AT CENTER
  20. This is what I dont get.... Foligno is doing what kassian is supposed to be doing at this phase of their development on a team that has scored 41 less goals than Vancouver.
