Sundstrom17 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 After we sign Hamhius (hopefully to only a 1 year deal but will resign for another 3 yrs again to avoid losing him to expansion) we can trade for Girardi who is a right handed defenseman that we could use. Sounds like he is falling out of NY... We have Sbisa to offer seeing that we have one too many LD... and he isn't that good seeing what he is getting paid and we would probably lose him in expansion too. And if we sign Hamhius for long term then we might lose Girardi to Las Vegas or maybe not... we lose or we lose...? but gain a draft pick and better defense for a year. And NYR will save 1.5 million for a few years. I am also the assumption that if Girardi is traded his NTC is voided for the rest of his contract... if not... if Hammy signs for more than one year this trade will never happen. Van: Girardi and a 2017 draft pick (2nd round or even 5th? for retaining salary) NYR: Sbisa Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaerToBo Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I would do Sbisa for Girardi with 1 million retained. Girardi at 4.5M would be worth it imo to get an upgrade in the top4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Even if he waives his NTC, he would still have it as part of his contract and would have to waive again throughout the duration of the clause. I don't think Girardi has sunk that low in value, and the Rangers should be looking for more than just cap relief when dealing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this deal wouldnt work out we could probably make the same trade to Calgary for Dennis Wideman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundstrom17 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 NY would not retain salary cause they need more $$$ for their RFA`s... I read somewhere that NY might buyout Girardi because of his bad year and high salary... So if we have to keep his NTC... Hammy has to only sign for 1 yr to make this work.

Honestly im not too worried about the pick. If we can upgrade Sbisa to Wideman or Girardi for only 1M extra i would take it and run. That would leave us with about 10M after signing the RFA's to sign whoever. Our defence would be solid Edler-Tanev Hutton-Girardi/Wideman Tryamkin-Larsen Would leave us room to get a guy like Backes or Okposo or just keep it for future free agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Burr & Wideman would be our solution to reffing-anarchy. Two minuses equal a pos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Girardi is just awful these days, I would rather keep Sbisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
