BREAKING: Rangers, Zibanejad agree on extension, Post has learned, eight years in the range of $8.5M per...A year or two more than NYR would have preferred, but allows the AAV to be workable...Should put a damper on Eichel talk.


Two years longer than I'd like and a bit more money, but all in all a fair deal for both sides
Good news…

now give him the C!
8.5 average is a good deal for the Rangers

I don't like 8 years at all but I was expecting 10 million per

Trouba deals to extend Fox, Laf and Kakko. Sooner or later, the chickens will come home to roost.
Hope this puts to rest for good the Eichel possibility

Works for me.

Now Rangers have to find a 2C who's better both ways than #16
And as I mused on pj's thread

not re-signing Mika would have been gut punch, team-building would have taken major step back, after having to deal Buch
it sure seems like

the Rangers end up regretting most of the long term deals they do. Often sooner rather than later.

Trouba has a NTC until 2024 I believe, and CK has a 15 team NTC. It’ll be difficult to unload either I feel until then. I guess a buyout is an option but, I’m not sure how that’s really beneficial. Trouba is overpaid but he has a solid role on the team. I wouldn’t say he was as useless as some of our past D overpays (Redden, Yandle).
Team needed to get this done before the season

Too much of a distraction (Is it going to be Mika or Eikel, she loves me, she loves me not) not to seal it--go forward. Kreider and Trouba, can't change it, maybe one or both of the Captaincy material will take one for the team and re-structure?

This lets them get down to business of the season.

It is the Ranger way though.... Dead money is the best money in the eyes of NYR management.
glad to hear as much if not more so that it ends the Eichel nonsense

that would have been a huge mistake.
