4:16PM: The Rangers have acquired Yandle. (Friedman)

[chuckd3534]

Wow...

 

[chuckd3534]

Sounds like Zucc agreed to a new deal also. Knew that would happen. He wasn't getting dealt.

 

[chuckd3534]

4:20PM: Renaud Lavoie thinks that the Rangers and Zuccarello may have worked out an agreement. (Lavoie)


4:19PM: John Shannon thinks that the Rangers may get Zuccarello signed to an extension now. (Shannon)

 

[theProdigy223]

McKenzie says they picked up half his money

 

[kreidertime]

Like I said. Sather pulls deals out of his ass that nobody expects. I didn't expect that. If Girardi is in the deal, no way I expected that. Does that mean that McIlrath is ready to take the 3rd line, right handed defenseman spot?

 

[chuckd3534]

Very weird. Is it Girardi and a 1st and Duclair and Zona eats some of Yandle's money so we have some room?

That may be it. Resign Zucc. Go add another depth forward Glen.

 

[theProdigy223]

McKenzie also says Duclair and a first. Doesnt mention Danny G.

 

[chuckd3534]

That is the adder Prod. We saved a lot on the cap if Zona ate half Yandle's money. Now we can bring Zucc back and hopefully have room to add a depth forward.

Is Yandle better than Girardi though? Great on the PP, but he is also a lefty.

 

[theProdigy223]

I trust McKenzie and he hasnt mentioned G yet

 

[kreidertime]

Might be Duclair and a 1st with Zona picking up half his salary. If Girardi isn't in the deal, Sather is still going to have to dump salary.

 

[kreidertime]

Now hearing it's Moore, Duclair and multiple draft picks. Hmmmmm. Yandle is a big upgrade for sure for the defense.

 

[chuckd3534]

How do we afford it if no Girardi? Even with half his salary eaten, how do we afford it? And next season we have no shot to afford this. If we resign Zucc now for 4.6 or so, how do we afford this? MSL plays for 1 mill or walks I guess.

 

[chuckd3534]

Moore has to go if we keep Girardi. Best D in the league if we add Yandle and keep Danny G.

Our PP just got a huge boost as well.

To me WELL worth it to deal Duclair. Zona was like yeah we will eat 1/2 of Yandle if you give us Duclair. I am good with it.

 

[theProdigy223]

They are eating half, that's how we afford it. Girardi confirmed not involved.

 

[chuckd3534]

4:24PM: The key components are likely to be Anthony Duclair and draft picks. (McKenzie)

4:22PM: The Coyotes are believed to be picking up 50% of Yandle’s contract. (McKenzie)

 

[Ranger71]

 

[kreidertime]

Heard it's Yandle, half his salary for Moore, Duclair and a 1st. Interesting.

MSL isn't coming back. Hated to lose Duclair. However, I think McDonagh's crap play this season was obviously concerning to the organization.

 

[kreidertime]

Also tells me that want Skjei to play at least one year in the AHL.

 

[chuckd3534]

1/2 for this year OR 1/2 for this year AND next year? If both WOW what a move by Sather. Makes Yandle a 2.6 mill player for next year. WOW.

See ya Duke.

 

[chuckd3534]

Best D in the league.
Zucc back now.
Elite goalie.
O improved by adding a PP stud/50 point dman in Yandle.

WOW...I am sorry for doubting you Glen.

 

[Ranger71]

Sweet!!finally!!

 

[kreidertime]

Now hearing there might be more components in the deal. Maybe make them take Glass for Korpikoski. We can only pray

 

[chuckd3534]

The Rangers have acquired Keith Yandle from Arizona for Anthony Duclair, John Moore and a first round pick in 2016. (Darren Dreger)

Arizona is picking up 50% of Yandle’s contract. (McKenzie)

 

[chuckd3534]

McD/Girardi
Staal/Klein
Yandle/Boyle

Best D in NHL IMO. Come on now.

If we can add one more piece like a gritty forward, Bernier, we are a clear cup fav.

 

[theProdigy223]

McKenzie laying down the LAW saying Girardi was never involved. Fuck the amateurs McKenzie you're my boy

 

[chuckd3534]

He was all over it. Girardi never made sense to me.

I guess Zona picks up 1/2 his money this season AND next season?

Get your butt on a plane to NY NOW Yandle. We need you tomorrow night. I said last night today would be the day for us so we can have the guy tomorrow night.

 

[theProdigy223]

Chuck, you can't alter the percentages year to year on retaining salary. If you pick up half this year, it's half on every year remaining.

We'll have yandle next year with a 2.6 m hit. That's AWESOME

 

[chuckd3534]

4:27PM: Zuccarello is nearing an extension with the Rangers. (Strang)

 

[chuckd3534]

Nice...2.6 for Yandle next season is a STEAL. He is a 50 point dman every season, and a PP stud. Doesn't score a lot of goals, but can pass with the best of them.

This has to mean MSL is gone if we add 2.6 for Yandle and will resign Zucc. Unless he plays for 1 mill MSL is gone. And wonder what it means for Hags.

 

[chuckd3534]

They were in Boston yesterday, but I bet he already got back to Zona. Now get back on a flight to NY Yandle...LOL.
