Ok so the rangers still need centers and defenseman. Thank you to Jeff Gorton for restocking the pantry but we still need to put players on the ice. I am now very concerned that the rangers will be the rangers and sign aging free agents to bad deals now that they have cap space. *COUGHS* joe thornton

I can't decide how I'd feel about them signing Joe Thornton to something like 1 year at 2 million or 2 years at 1.5 million. Yeah, he's old as gently caress, but that's Tanner Glass money and he'd still be an upgrade on Tanner Glass.

Yes I'm sure whatever team signs 38 year old Joe Thornton to a 3 year $14 million dollar deal is going to be thrilled

More realistic than him signing with a non-contender like the Rangers for 2M/year.

I don't dispute this. At this point Thornton's in the "sign cheap with a contender to try to win a Cup" phase of his career. If the Rangers can convince him that they're still contenders (doubtful unless there's a lot of moves coming), I'd love to have him short term at that price.

He seems like a good 3rd line center but yeah the money he's going to want for that is likely to be higher than it's worth.

Rangers are basically checking out all the available centers anyways it sounds like (Thornton, Marleau, Bonino). Not sure if they sign any of them depending on what the asking price is

I really hope we get Marleau because that's my dog's name (though spelled differently)

Man all the news this weekend sure has me fired up to have a vocal trump supporter on my favorite team :thumbsup:

Ugh, thanks for reminding me.

Though this inspired me to check out his Twitter to see just how vocal he is about that poo poo (lately, not very vocal, thank god), and stumbled upon this, which is basically a cleaned up NYCGUIDOVOICE post:
