The rest of the Eastern Conference contenders should have put a claim in on Kuznetsov when he was waived. Brilliant move by the Canes who got home pennies on the dollar.

Rempe adds a very necessary physical factor the Rangers have lacked for a long time. When Laviolette unleashed him, during the regular season, he took on the league's best goons for a reason; to send a message that the days of intimidating the Rangers, during the playoffs, are over.
Bring on the "paper champions" and thank you, Isles and their fans, for tenderizing them up, a bit, for the home cookin' at the Garden next week!
Peace!
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 01, 2024, 03:52:32 PMThe irony is if Gettleman had just drafted Parsons (and assuming the Giants were able to manage Parsons as we as Dallas) or if DG grabbed Slater, no one would have ever talked about the Eagles outmaneuvering the Giants.
It was the outmaneuver combined with the terrible pick of Toney in the trade-down (along with squandering the first-round pick they got on Neal) that made things look so bad
Quote from: H-Town G-Fan on May 01, 2024, 03:39:57 PMGettleman got outmaneuvered by Philly who moved up to take Devonta Smith and then couldn't pivot off the pre-planned approach (take a WR in the first round) to either of those two players you mentioned.

How would agents view Schoen if he tried to force a renegotiation of an injury guarantee? While I have seen players be asked to take pay cuts or be cut, I have not witnessed a team try to renegotiate a guarantee. There seems to be an unwritten rule (I am not fully versed; it might even be a written rule) that guarantees money in contracts.
Do you think that might hurt Schoen in future contract negotiations?
