THAT LITTLE??
M
Apparently the NMC and the contract questions were a bigger deal than people thought.
J
They just extended him, so it didn’t scare the Kings apparently.
T
It was reported he wanted to sign with the team he went to so they had obviously agreed upon this before the trade.
N
Guess the biggest question now is does he extend there
E
looks like he did 2 years 11m annually
C
And Drury didn’t ask for a resigning condition ( and a first round pick IF he signs). Drury should be fired tomorrow.
M
“Sellers market” my fat bottom
I
It still is. Drury is just that awful. Wait til other trades get announced from other teams.
I
Think of his NMC as a disproportionately large tax or tariff & it starts to make sense
J
That causes a huge discount for sure, but this big? Even if Bread was limiting them to LA, NYR still had leverage which is they could walk. Letting Bread walk for nothing this summer is not meaningfully worse than this return. So they might as well wait and see if LA blinks, until the offer improves or it doesn’t. Clown hours from Drury. edit: I guess it’s harder to get the other guy to think you might plausibly walk away when you tell everyone “WE WANNA DO THIS BEFORE THE OLYMPICS” and “IM HEALTHY SCRATCHING MY BEST SKATER UNTIL A DEAL IS DONE” lmfao edit 2: Ok Greentree is better than nothing, that was an overstatement. But it still makes you wonder what they could have fetched if they went about this negotiation with baseline competence.
R
When you look at the returns they got out of previous trades (Kreider, Trouba) and you really gotta ask what exactly are the requirements to become a GM
S
To be honest, if I was a the Rangers GM for this return I’d bench him the rest of the season. The deadline isn’t till March 6th. I’d sit his ass for the rest of the year and prove a point. He still doesn’t wanna waive by March 6th? Fine. Not playing anywhere. Owners and management got to start calling bluffs.
W
And what purpose does that serve? He’d still walk as a UFA and NY gets nothing. It’s not like he or his agent were publicly going around saying he would only go to LA. This is basically the same scenario as Marchand last year
W
Hey, that’s practically a Bjustad return these days.
W
We got the same thing for Bjugstad as the Rangers got for Panarin? Makes me feel really good about the Bjugy trade
H
I’m taking my victory lap because I was shat on for saying I don’t think he goes for a first with the full NMC
C
Drury needs to be fired into the sun, Dolan is a terrorist
O
LA saving their 2nd for Evander Kane.
S
People keep complaining about grocery prices but bread is pretty cheap these days
S
Normally I’m happy to see the Rangers implode but this is just sad
J
Schefter breaking NBA and NHL trades today is so funny
C
Somebody at ESPN heard “trade” and directed the news to him.
W
That intern won’t be getting an offer after graduation

F
Huh? Where’s the real trade?
2
Chris Drury: “I need Will Smith or Ryan Leonard” Ken Holland: “how about Greentree and a conditional 3rd”
_
The joys of being fucked by NMC’s and a players forcing their destination But even then it’s hilarious because they gave up a lot more for Miller last year who did the exact same thing and had the toxicity cloud over him.
E
Drury
J
Miller wasn’t a pending UFA. Not apples to apples.
_
Miller being signed until he’s 37 isn’t really a good thing value wise
F
Miller isn’t a good thing value or values wise
M
His trail of destruction in Vancouver was very good for the Minnesota Wild.
H
Ahh so Miller’s selection is just Guerin’s thank you. Please don’t take it personally Robo
R
And is a center
C
Drury: https://i.redd.it/g3w1ogricjhg1.gif
K
I could shit in my hands, clap, call it a tough 3rd pairing defenseman and get more for that on deadline day than this
S
It appears his NMC is being used to full effect here.
K
It pretty much has to be I’m just flabbergasted its this low. Its Buch 2.0 Yeah, I wasn’t expecting a haul but THAT’S what you get??
S
If he’s not going to waive his NMC unless he gets the contract he wants with the team he wants there’s not a ton to recoup. You’re getting a relatively nornal rental price of a first round pick and third round back for him which seems about right.
O
The imagery is searing.
C
will you though film it
P
Can’t wait to see the Chel simulation of this trade. “Lol, you’re an idiot. We take this gladly.”
B
No way the computer lets you do it haha
M
The return and the fact that this is Adam Schefter made me think this was fake as hell. First time I’ve had to double and triple check since Luka.
L
Yeah no shot this is real since when does Adam Schefter break hockey trades /s
A
The most shocking part about this is the fact that Adam Schefter is breaking hockey trades
A
Schefter once said he wanted to be an NBA reporter but guess the man just loves breaking trades regardless of the sport
T
I have those ESPN alerts from him set up on my phone. Reread it like 3 or 4 times to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating a Schefty NHL bomb lmao
Y
I had to make sure it wasn’t one of those parody accounts lol
