    I seriously find it hard to believe that nobody would want Namestnikov at 4 million with one year on his contract. If that is true then it's not hard to understand why most teams suck year after year. So at worst you get a 30+ point role player who plays defense with 1 year on his deal and nobody wants that? Especially with a ton of teams out there with no depth. If GM's are seriously that cranky that they would rather see the Rangers have to buy players out to make cap room than improve their team by taking one of their players, then those GM's should be fired immediately by ownership. I've said it for years. 95% of all GM's in sports are morons with no vision or clue now to build a team.

    I think either way they have to buyout Smith but i also don't get why teams aren't a little more interested in a solid 3rd line guy at 4m. Unless Gorton is asking for a 2nd back but i don't think so.

    I'm thinking he was asking for a second. Vesey went for a third and was similar to him contract wise.

    I would think Gorton has a couple of plans to figure this out.

    Was hoping for less but I trust Gorton knows what he's doing.

    I think that's about right for him, since he's starting to come into his own. Now they need to use this buyout on Smith and find a team for VN and we're good to go.

    And yesterday he actually writes an article on how they should not only buyout Shattenkirk over Smith which is stupid, but add a 1st rounder if need be to trade him. Wow.

    I hate LB as much as the next guy but he was absolutely not suggesting they do this. He was saying it in the context of they've tried everything to trade him, and what else can they do add a first rounder? Of course not, hence the buyout argument. Let's be fair here.

    Devils signed Gusev. Big numbers in the KHL but that means nothing. Gave up a couple decent picks to get his rights.

    LMAO I can’t believe you read this board often enough to respond to a comment on the Devils within 5 hours. One of the most pathetic things I’ve ever heard. God it must suck to be a devils fan and be this obsessed with the Rangers.

    He has literally nowhere to go to talk Devils hockey is my guess. So anytime someone mentions them here it's like a whale surfacing for air. Must suck to be a fan of a team no one cares enough about to discuss.

    That's why I have dickless on ignore. When the Devils can draft defenseman, wake me. Until then they will always suck.
