What Now?

Hearing some stuff, but first, let me say, getting Hank re-upped is job 1,2,3,4, and 5 right now. So what am I hearing? I'm hearing that Souray has a deal with the Rangers that hasn't been signed yet. I've heard that the Rangers were working through the night last night to get a trade or trades done. I don't know any trade details, but I do know people were getting called back to the office in the wee hours of the morning. One thing I think we might guess is that Prucha is on the move and that's why his deal was locked in first. Unless we get a great return, I hope that is not the case, but we'll see. There are also rumblings that Avery's agent may have alienated the FO. We'll need to keep a close eye on that, too. I hope we have some NEWS for you today.

Things are getting exciting over at MSG. I really think Hank gets done in the next 3 hours just my opinion. There is too much at stake for both sides here. Hank wants to get paid, and the Rangers want to pay him and move on to other business. They will settle. In the end what these other moves are will only help Hank, and I think he knows that and will sign soon.

My source is telling me Hank is a done deal 5.5 per season.

That's less than I was hearing!

 
At 11:47 AM, Blogger Michael said...

Oh Cool. Maybe that frees up more for other business??

 
At 11:47 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

maybe he decided he wanted to help the cap, like Shanny's been willing to do.

I think that is what maybe the case he wants to help us get better as a team. I wonder now if we will see the other pieces fall into place.

Who knows. There are more Souray to the Devils rumors now.

 
At 11:56 AM, Blogger Michael said...

Site nhlline.ca has Souray going there but that site has no credibility. I don't see Souray and the Devils as a fit who knows...

 
At 11:56 AM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I've heard we have an unsigned deal with Souray, and I still think that's the case.

 
At 11:59 AM, Blogger Michael said...

So have I. Delapina reports of interest as well as Weinman. Steve Zipay believes Prucha is on the move which all adds up..

 
At 12:02 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I think Prucha is on the move, too.

 
At 12:04 PM, Blogger Michael said...

my source says Clemmenson to Toronto

 
At 12:05 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I wonder when we're gonna hear about our trade or trades.

 
At 12:13 PM, Blogger Michael said...

I am wondering the same thing. I would think soon we should hear something...

 
At 12:15 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Weinman is researching into it, apparently the FAN590 and The Score in Canada are reporting Hank is done..

 
At 12:16 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I know Hank is done. I just wonder what the number is.

 
At 12:20 PM, Blogger Michael said...

5.5 was what I was told let's hope my source was correct.

 
At 12:34 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

im pretty sure its 5-6 years at 4.75-5 a year

 
At 12:35 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Last I heard they wanted 6 or 7!

 
At 12:35 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Any clue on trades?

 
At 12:36 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

none, he hasnt called me back since 11

 
At 12:36 PM, Blogger Michael said...

NHLPA had posted earlier Dan 4.75 as his salary and taken it down. If it is 4.75 then even better!!!

 
At 12:37 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

seems like Hank might actually have bought into the team building concept.

 
At 1:35 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

hmmm, it's especially quiet over at Ranger Central today.

 
At 1:45 PM, Blogger Michael said...

That's interesting I would have figured there would be lots of news...

 
At 1:45 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

probably the quiet before the rush.

 
At 1:48 PM, Blogger Michael said...

I think so. Do you think we hear anything tonight?

 
At 1:49 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I'd think at least one of us or all of us will.

 
At 2:47 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

Shane over at dump and chase asked if the deal that's up is with Phoenix.

 
At 2:57 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Weinman says we are taking Lundy to arbitration

 
At 2:58 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I don't think that's right.

 
At 2:59 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Delapina has confirmed the same thing

 
At 2:59 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I wonder what happened today.

 
At 3:00 PM, Blogger Michael said...

I don't think so either

Arbitration Ensures Lundqvist Will Stay a Ranger

Spooked by the $50-million, seven-year offer sheet to which the Edmonton Oilers signed restricted Buffalo free agent Tomas Vanek, the Rangers elected this afternoon to take Henrik Lundqvist to salary arbitration.

While Glen Sather continues to try to hammer out a long-term deal for Lundqvist with agent Don Meehan, this move ensures that Lundqvist at least will be a Ranger for next season. And it precludes any rival from making an offer sheet that would crush the Rangers cap-wise.

 
At 3:02 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

I wonder what happened between us hearing done and it not being done.

 
At 3:02 PM, Blogger Michael said...

I am wondering the same thing. Trying to find out on my end.

 
At 3:07 PM, Blogger Michael said...

Deal is still done, I was told this was a procedural thing to prevent some other team from making an offer to crush the cap. Still finalizing the details I was told.

 
At 3:08 PM, Blogger Kalel9 said...

that makes sense.

 
At 3:10 PM, Blogger Michael said...

If they did not file, they could have gotten some ridiculous offer which would have ruined the cap and rest of the plans. Slats is still working on the final details was the last msg I rec'd.
