It’s different though for kids who sign right after their college seasons end.
There’s only 8 tilts left on the Rangers schedule so it’s a non-issue.
Perreault’s UFA year won’t be until 2032 regardless.
Fans have to understand hockey is a business first & foremost.
Organizations exist to make money.
Players play to make money.
The Rangers are still, somewhat impossibly, square in the mix for a wild card spot.
In a major market like NY that’d be a big financial win.
Obviously that’s not the situation New York wants to create for themselves.
The Rangers are in desperate need of new blood.
That combination sure sounds a lot like another Blueshirt & it’s worked out pretty damn well with Foxy.
VIVA LA BLUESHIRTS!
