Sharpshooter Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Additionally, two years is probably just the right amount of time to have their young D use his mentorship before they are ready for staring roles. By then Blum, Ellis, Josi, Ekholm and maybe Roussel and/or Laakso will be a viable rotation. At that time you move Weber for a 1st line center probably.

y0shi Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Why is Weber suddenly being painted a douche for signing such a big offersheet and expect him to demand a trade? I don't expect him to say anything good about Nashville, demand a trade, or anything. Now that the contract situation is done with, I expect him to talk nothing but hockey.

Primal Optimist Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The New York Rangers are sad to report Fabian Brunnstrom has departed North America and signed a three year deal with Frolunda in the Swedish Elite League. The underutilized Red Wings prospect waited quietly until the age of 27 for his shot in the big leagues, and apparently has decided to head home and take his rightful spot at the top of the home town league SEL. We request that his contract be terminated with the CDCGML Rangers. This is the latest regrettable instance in a string that has seen Mike Murphy head to the KHL, and Rhett Rakhshani head to SV-71 of the same Swedish Elite League so far this summer. These two players have already been requested to have removed from the Rangers Team SHeet. GM Primal has no further comment on the situation. EDIT: no need to apologize for a summer break Curt, lol. Brunnstrom's NHL totals: 104 games played, 19goals 22 assists 41 points Rakhshani's NHL totals: 7 games played, no goals no assists no points. Mike Murphy's NHL totals: 2games played in totalling 36 minutes, no goals against, saved 9 shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 IMO he was and is a good hockey player, only 104 nhl games and 41 points says a lot, when one considers a rookie campaign is usually not so productive. This is the equivalent of a rookie year and 22 more games, not bad production. I think it is indicative of the upheaval a CBA negotiation brings to the table.

Primal Optimist Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 On the upside, I am freeing up some cap space on the Whale. Needed to get that done anyways, and didn't want to put any more money into it at the front office. Just a silver lining though, rather have the talent in line to play at the NHL level.

Primal Optimist Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The New York Rangers Spotlight on.... Jiri Hudler!!!!! This Czech Repuplic hockey star was born in January 1984 and after a point per game campaign in the Czech Extraliga, was drafted 58th overall by the Detroit Red Wings of the NHL, with their first pick of the 2002 NHL entry Draft. Jiri spent the last half of his teenage years playing five seasons with the Superliga and even a short appearance in the RSL, a predecesor of todays KHL in Russia, with the Kazan AK Bars. Jiri Hudler made his North American Pro debut with the Red Wings in 03-04, playing just 12 games a goal and two assists, before spending three more years seasoning in the Grand Rapids Griffins AHL pool. During Detroits 2006-07 campaign Jiri enjoyed a breakthrough season, scoring 25 points in 76 games of extremely limited ice time. For his efforts he was awarded Team Rookie of the YEar, and notably, no one in the NHL scored more points in less icetime than the Czech phenom in his first full year in the NHL. The following year he would add 'clutch' to his list of talent descriptions. Jiri scored 5 goals and 9 assists in 22 games as the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup in 2008. In 2009 Jiri's wings again made it to the cup final, this time losing to the Penguins while Mr. Hudler added 4 more goals and 8 assists to his playoff stats. After a sordid contract snafu at his RFA summer, Jiri departed for Moscow, playing with the Dynamo for 5million a year, while a contested contract in Detroit was fought hard by both sides. After one season in Russia, Jiri Hudler returned to the Wings, playing for less than 3m, the same contract dollars his agent accepted on his behalf leading to the legal battle a year earlier. This past season, the highly touted 28 year old scored an even 25 goals and 25 assists playing in 81 games for Detroit, a personal best in goal scoring in the NHL. He was quickly signed to a 4 year deal in Calgary where he is anticipated to play not only more minutes, but more special teams minutes in their top six, GM Jay Feaster hinted that Jiri Hudler may in fact get top line time with the resident star Jerome Iginla in both 5 on 5 situations and the Power Play. This news is very exciting to the New York Rangers of the CDCGML, and we wish Jiri all the best this coming season, he has paid his dues in several pro leagues in his young life, and spent a lot of time deep in the Red Wings system, where he did not meet his full ice time potential, and this has GM Primal Optimist, if it is at all possible, even MORE optimistic about the man's future, not only is he in his perfect prime, but he seems primed for a perfect opportunity in his new role.

ThatMike Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Very pleased to hear of the NHL Hurricanes signing of Alex Semin. The San Jose Sharks had every faith that this was only a matter of time, but it is certainly a relief to know he is going to be playing top line minutes in the NHL.
