  1. We are happy to see that Tim cleared and we can proceed to slot him into the Whale lineup, bumping down the depth chart of centers as he slots into the top seed on the farm. We feel Tim can and should earn his roster spot in camp, however with the wealth of young talent that will be pushing him, we wanted to be fair to Tim Brent, above all else and give him an opportunity to play on a team that may have needed his skill set in the big league CDCGML. Going forward, we are confident that Tim will continue to provide the Rangers organization with the top notch professionalism that has become his calling card whether that be with the Whale or the Rangers, or a mix of both this coming year.
  2. ^I was worried Jake Muzzin would be an arbitration case, and I didn't want to be the guinea pig, haha, so happy he signed with us eventually. Now I want to see what he signs for IRL, as I saw today his TSN rating, while not a super great gauge, put him as the second best rookie in the league this year. He trailed Patrick Wiercioch by 0.35 points and led Brandon Saad, Justin Shultz and Dougie Hamilton by at least 0.59 points. Congrats Jake, well done. Bobby Sanguinetti at 23rd and Marcus Foligno at 26th on the TSN rating list of Rookies are also making New York proud. EDIT: Now with more link! http://www.tsn.ca/fantasy_news/feature/?ID=10841
  3. Ahh i seem to recall some salaries were pro rated for days on IR or mid season trades, i have gone over my entire roster and its good to go, thank you C2X, maybe we should all give a quick once over to our team sheets and save this hard working commissioner some time.
  4. Don't worry, you will visit the Garden, you will wish you hadn't but you will visit MSG. For good luck we buried Hoffa at center ice.
  5. Waivers: The New York Rangers waive Tim Brent, to be assigned to the minor league affiliate Connecticut Whale if he clears.
  6. Welcome Ty Webb, your gonna like it here, and before squeak goes to tuff mudder, and by way of a welcome to the league, i am about to waive a player if you would like to put in a claim pm canuck2xtreme.
  7. I think that Torts interaction with the media has very little to do with the way he coaches the team. For that reason I will find it entertaining,but I think it will also shield the team a lot from the media. as far as i am concerned he is an upgrade. Should we end up with him in Vancouver, I have no doubt the team will go deep, and I think he can add a net positive result for sure with our young guys as well as the vets.
  8. lol I have always said my Perfectionistic OCD is only held in check by my star quality laziness.
  9. go into preferences>tabs and check Command-click opens a link in a new tab. Command is the button next to the space bar. if you don't check this in preferences then command-click will open the link in a new window. p.s. you can also "right-click" with a mac by pressing control and then clicking. that will open up the little menu where you can choose 'open link in new tab'.
  10. Wow, just looking back at my trades list and with the 6th overall pick, and at a cost of David Moss, good luck to him, I got: Mikael Backlund Zach Stepan Philip Larsen Devante Smith-Pelly EDM 2nd round draft pick 2014 Anthony Mantha drafted at 18th TOP SCORER in the QMJHL, and highly touted to go first round, I thought he would go 10th, i got him at 18th, oddly enough my target at 18th was Bo Horvat and he went much earlier! Gabryel Boudreau drafted at 47th small statured guy, generally against my nature to take a shorty, but 22 goals 41 assists +31 and a PPG in the playoffs..he is just getting better every game. Hockey Smarts and positional player. I bet he is drafted 5th round, but for me, worth taking. all that for David Moss and a 6th! Whew, what a draft year!
  11. Philip Larsen joins the whale roster for the summer while Devante Smith-Pelly will be added to the Rangers, fourth line RW. Chris Brown will be moved to the top of the Whales RW depth chart. Thank you. We were very happy to get one of our two targets with the 18th overall pick. Anthony Mantha, we had projected to go near 10th, in fact he was our target before we traded away tenth overall, so it worked out well. I am amazed by the raw talent of Gaby Boudreau, and was a little hesitant on his size, but as for talent and a long term project, this guy has it in spades. Glad to have him. I think the trade with Phoenix really helped out our team. If you told me i could draft Smith-Pelly midway through the second round i would have done it. This trade not only acquired a guy we liked, but added defensive depth, something we really felt we needed to do. Earlier in the day we acquired Matt Bartkowski, another key piece of our young, bold defensive depth agenda. We will issue a full lineup tonight and finalize our front office budgets over the summer. Thank you to everyone for making it a fun night, and Curt, my heartfelt appreciation for you putting it all together. That mid second round trade was a token of my esteem. : )
  12. i am pretty stoked to get smith pelley late in the 2nd but yeah does vancouver somehow have 6 picks in a Row? wow

  16. i will draft...Laurent Dauphin from the Q.
  17. its sad they missed and on that note if a misser shows up late can they pick when they establish they are ahere? thinking of TGC here...he is alseep right now but hopes to be here at 4:20 Munich time
  18. was it too much to ask that hagg fall to 47th? apparaneffintlee.
  19. I am all set and interested in any late picks if folks gotta go, we can work out a deal i am sure
