Salary dump !!! Good…..
Okay so thats 2/3 where's jordan going
Hey lego, I was wondering if you play with fans
Weaponizing cap space. That's boss!
We'll give em a bottom end prospect or like a 6th round pick. Nyr paid Detroit to take staals final yr.
I actually quite like this, love grabbing the 2nd rnd pick, and Detroit honestly has 3 maybe 4 guaranteed defenseman for 20-21, this fills a hole for 1 yr in the likely case that dekeyser misses substantial time and cholowski disappoints.
Hronek, nemeth and dekeyser are the only locks, I already mentioned Dekeyser's health and cholowski, lindstrom realistically makes it and biega is best suited to be 7th d or bowey if he is even extended.
Last year and two years ago this would have angered me as I'd see it as blocking cholowski, but having little faith in him now and see the depth a veteran voice as a positive.
So the Wings get a decent prospect and a veteran dman who only has 1 year left on his contract. And New York gets nothing besides cap? I see the logic from New Yorks side obviously, but the Wings getting a guy who can play on your team and mentor young players while getting a another prospect for the cupboard is a W for Detroit imo.
$5,700,000 for one year is not horrible, actually quite good getting a 2nd round pick for next year, and some depth for D. Hopefully Steve is just as skillful in the draft in a few weeks.
Time for kris russell to get traded
Eriksson is owed more money and an extra year.. imagine the sweetener needed… scary thoughts
Great trade for both teams
Thank you Yzerman….
Rangers dumping Staal and his $5.35m is big. Puts them at almost $20m in space…
They can sign DeAngelo ($5m/yr)
Strome ($5m/yr) Georgiev ($1.75m/yr)
Lemieux ($1.25m).…That leaves about $7m
in space after all that. Then…that opens up trade possibilities…
Maybe a package of DeAngelo and Strome with other assets to Winnepeg for Laine and Lowry. Rangers have alot of avenue's they can choose to go down
NY needs as much cap as they can get and the wings can use some veteran leadership so this is a great deal for both teams as I see it. Not only do the NYR have to worry about signing guys now…they have to have cap room for the future. Lafreniere (I know he's not there yet but we all know he will be and ELC's only last 3 years max) and Zibanejad about the same year. And if Kakko starts to light it up, he's going to have to be paid too. That's going to be a LOT of cash.
Salary dump. Keep up great work Leggo.
Rangers are very happy with this trade. We love Marc. But the future is here and we can pay all of our players and have money in the future. Great trade for both sides, please take care of Marc in Detroit
Love the videos. You are the only hockey news I'm subscribed to lol keep up the good work
Hey lego your live when I’m watching this
Rangers dump cap, Red Wings gain a solid defenseman for one season and a second in 2021. It’s a win-win.
Great for both teams!
Not tryna flex but I guessed Dallas 3-2 win in OT at the start of the stream 😉
that will be 3 picks in 2nd rd for the 3rd year in a row
As a wings fan I am extremely happy with this trade wings get a decent Dman that can still handle his own and show guys like mo seider how to be a solid nhl Dman
Brilliant, our gm is becoming one of the best🤘🏻🤘🏻
Staal and a 2nd for cap space!!!
Long shot but Gorton must be looking in for a possible Eichel trade no? If he can pull that off, best GM ever!!!
Nothing bothers me more than trading assets for nothing. I know we got cap but there is no good assets coming back. It kinda sucks.
Hope they trade Smith to
I really hope don’t do anything in free agent
Can’t complain about this trade. Everyone wins. Rangers get cap space, Red Wings gain a 2nd round pick and a vet defenseman who, if he doesn’t contribute, is only there for one year.
I'm gonna ask on every video until I get the answer lol. It's almost like a meme now I feel like.
What are you saying at the end of every video before "And bye".
I. Must. Know.
I've watched every video since June I think and I can't figure it out 😀
Thank God Staal is gone from the Rangers
As a rangers fan I absolutely love this move I love Marc staall but he is getting old and him being on a young core like this I don’t think he fit in any way thank you staall for 12 years on the rangers you will be missed I would say go win the cup but your on Detroit now and there not the greatest
Why do you think the Rangers did this to acquire a free agent? Why didn't you mention the possibility of a trade with Buffalo, so the Rangers have enough money for Eichel? Eichel, Zibby, Strome and Boyle sound good. Or even, take out Strome, if they don't have enough money left over IF that Eichel trade happens.
I'm hoping fluery gets dumped on us next lol golden knights do need cap space
