Igor is overrated and now will be severely overpaid. Rangers have to pay what he wants though because there are a dozen other teams that will pay the price. I think any player that wants to squeeze every last penny out of his team is a shitbum and I have lost all respect for Igor. If I were GM, I would sign him then IMMEDIATELY trade him to the worst team who would offer me a boatload for him (ie, Sharks).
Don't check the Rangers shitty website for transactions...they are usually the last place with the info. Edstrom, Mancini, Cuylle and Berard are all in Hartford. Not to worry though...we have Harper and Lescyshyn back!!! What a joke. Really getting sick of this entire organization.
It's confirmed??? - ESPN Reports on 10/7 - Assigned RW Matt Rempe to Hartford. Assigned LW Will Cuylle to Hartford. Assigned D Victor Mancini to Hartford. Assigned LW Brett Berard to Hartford. Recalled C Jake Leschyshyn. Recalled LW Adam Sýkora. Recalled D Ben Harpur.
Definitely I don’t know the complete story. But seems he’s greedy. Sure he’s the best player and should be the highest paid Ranger. But the are locked into Panarin. He should get $1 more than Breadman. Then i think take a hometown discount buddy to allow the team to get some help so we can win a championship
Othmann is very disappointing to me I hope we didn't ruin him. Seems like years he has been waiting. What harm would it be to bring him up for 20 game trial? I mean I like him better than Kakko. Mancini is smooth as silk, he will be in the league for a long time.
@@Hockeyguycarl - Wrong!... The way the lines are set up makes no sense. Send Cuylle to Hartford!!... Cuylle hasn't showed that much, and hasn't been that noticable. Othmann has been like 1000% more noticable than Cuylle. Othmann belongs on the 3rd line with Kakko & Chytil(2 finesse players), to balance out that line and add protect them and add more grit & Oomph!!
I legit ee the isles improving by leaps and bounds this year. New top six. New fourth line. Youth , speed and more talent. Canes lost players and the Rangers didn't do anything save ty to get rid of Trouba.
The goalies are the most important player on a team. What you are watching with Swayman and Igor are goalies taking a stand and demanding to get paid like the most important position on the team. Think of it like the goalies have their own union. They are taking a stand
Good analysis. I don't agree with you on D pairings. But with Lindgren out, and until he returns you likely are going to see some odd pairings. I like Jones and he had a real good camp. Mancini too but mgmt won't keep him long as he's just too green regardless of his good camp. With the Offense, Othmann should make the team and should be given significant time to stay and prove he can contribute offensively and be defensive asset. Kakko needs to put the puck in the net!!!! His time has gotten thin and if he doesn't do something offensively he needs to sit or be traded. Big loss early with Panarin and hopefully he is ok but this gives Othmann a big opportunity. Opening night should be interesting how this all works out with lineups.
We went through this with Hank Im sure he wants a full no trade as well. We lose in the second round every year with him and we can lose without him. He’d bring a haul back in a trade I say move him
Paying Igor more than $7M is just crazy. I love him, but I’d trade him in a second for that kind of money. Just look at the start of last season; you can do well without an elite goalie. The idea of paying him Panarin-level money-a 100-point player-is just beyond insane
Jones and Mancini need to be on the roster. The other night when Miller and Trouba got paired up for 3rd period my eyes rolled back into my head... here we go again. I bet ya if Miller had more time with Fox he'd be better than he already is. Just my opinion
Miller needs to go!He's a good offensive defenseman, but sucks on defense just doing his pokechecks when at his size he should be a lot more intimidating. He plays to not get hurt, like Kreids,Mika.Z. Jones is Awesome!
Idk that might be his manager asking. Doesn't mean Igor is asking 12mill. He needs to figure out should I (igor) reset the goalie market or win a championship. Meaning what is more important? Getting to the ECFs isnt going to land you 12mill. If he wins another Vezina this season and or wins the cup then yes 100%
12M is a ton. Igor but lead us to a cup for that amount. He carries team at times now and at $12M will have to carry them eveynight. This is last yesr for cup run with this group, cap wise they will need to go woth lots a younger guys next year due to capnomics. Othman as hould be on team this year along with Remoe and Enstrom. Maybe need to move a vet or two
@@michaellanza6327 did Hank lead them to a cup? NO, he because Nash went cold. When you lose 3 out of 4 games in OT, two double OT, then that shows you need more than goaltending to win it all
@@jerelbonner6716 I totally agree but if you locked up too much money on goaltender then less there. Again this is tough one. I see other teams win with goaltenders not as good as Igor but good team all around.
Contracts for players should be strictly conditions based. Where is the incentive to win if performance goals remain unmet. Bobrovsky gets $10M and he beat Shesty, ultimately to become a champ. How many rings does Igor have in his possession to date?
Igor is arguably one of the best goalies in the league and should be compensated accordingly. However… if he wants quality players surrounding him, he may want to consider a hometown discount. He is adored in the premier venue in the NHL, and that has to carry some value to him. But without a quality defense surrounding him, he’s going to get shelled every night, and he will wear down quickly and be more susceptible to injury. But he could get 12mm to play for some backwater franchise for sure…. I guess it’s time for him to determine what’s important to him and decide accordingly.
2 years ago id say pay him, after the way last year started, id say we need to see how he does this season, if he goes back to his V cup form, then pay the man 100%, and id like us to really develop big Louie D, hes a solid goalie, young, and can be a beast for us behind igor once quick is gone..
There is no reason to rush Vesey, Lindgren or Panarin back from injury to begin the season. They shouldn't be expected to play with nagging injuries all season. Igor is pricing himself out of NY. They should have traded for Askarov.
I live in the state of the “Wild” but I am a big Rangers and Shesterkin fan. Also being from Minnesota I like to see Jonny Brodzinski getting some ice time.
agree, i don't think Othmann has done so much to earn a 2nd line start if panarin can't go... Laf Troch Kakko Cuylle chityl brodzinski Edstrom carrick rempe
The Othmann disrespect is crazy… bro is definitely more NHL ready and is also more versatile than Rempe. If Edstrom makes it he deserved it but Othmann > Rempe all day. Would hate to see Othmann get to the point where he feels he may not make it ever because we are going with guys like Rempe instead, when Othmann clearly brings more to the table
