@NickZararis Better chance of winning Powerball than Fortescue receiving an offer sheet in 3 years.
Burning a year of his ELC and earning NHL salary for however many games is the reward he earned for a good college season and signing. Doubt he was promised 10 games, he could have struggled.
English
The team with $30 million in cap space, that gave raises to Rempe, Parssinen and Vakinainen can’t give Fortescue a good offer so he doesn’t contemplate an offer sheet

More to this: #NYR Fortescue playing fewer than 10 games this season ensures he will fall into the 10.2(c) restricted free agent category and won’t be eligible for an offer sheet or salary arbitration at the end of his ELC. Players aged 18-21 at the time they sign their ELC earn a year of pro experience by playing 10 or more professional games in any league while under an NHL contract, per CBA.

@nohopeleague It speaks volumes about the lack of depth throughout the organization. Injuries, trades, and graduations promoted almost every player with a shot at playing NHL games and there aren't quality replacements in the system.

@RyanO22000 @MFE80 @theradiospiel @Icecat94 Taking a step further further back, he burned a year of a three year ELC, but if his contract had started in the fall he was only eligible for a two year ELC. This didn't affect the timing of his next contact. The margin lost is 3 weeks of ELC salary.

@MFE80 @theradiospiel @Icecat94 I know its not a big deal. But its just another loss on the margins. I dont think he was at risk of leaving. James Hagens, his better higher drafted college teammate signed a ATO. Im sure Drew would have as well.

The comment section on this perfectly solid piece is absolutely unhinged.

Conor Sheary has been a source of ire within pockets of the #NYR fanbase, in part because he’s been a mainstay in the lineup. A look at why the Rangers value his presence and what he’s brought the team, even when his scoring has been inconsistent ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/71650…

Pronman says Shesty held his own... for an undersized goalie.

WE GOT ANOTHER GOALIE FIGHT THIS TIME SHESTERKIN VS MARKSTROM 😳🥊

@vzmercogliano It's nice to see homegrown guys make it but depth roles are easy to fill. The big issue is the lack of available top talent on the UFA market this summer and the lack of confidence we have in Drury acquiring the right players via trade.
English
The outlook remains bleak for the #NYR until they find ways to acquire top-of-the-lineup talent —but at the very least, they’ve uncovered a few emerging prospects who look like they could be helpful in depth roles.
On Sýkora, Chmelař, Laba and more 👇🏼 nytimes.com/athletic/71565…

@Buccigross It's never gonna be best on best without Russia. Every medal from every tournament that excluded Russia has an asterisk next to it.
English
Russia should be among the 8 teams. Undoubtedly. Russian players decorate the NHL with their skill and commitment. To deny them is a slap in the face to players Nikita Kucherov who dedicate their lives to improving their skill level--at their benefit, yes--and thus enhances the entertainment value of the sport. Be above the sanctimonious and filth-muck of politics and politicians--the dregs of the earth. We are watching a hockey tournament.

NHL and NHLPA aren’t ready today to name the 8 participating countries. Although Ron Hainsey says the top 8 hockey countries will take part.
English
@RonoAnalyst He and Drury are both awfully quiet, maybe they're on the phone hammering out a Trochek deal.
English
@Josh_Khalfin Any Sharks rookies without their first NHL goal? That's the parlay. Easy money.
English
not only did I lose every single bet I made today but I even lost every single leg of the parlays I made. do you know what kind of talent that takes to be able to pull that off?????
English
@primordials0und Agreed. I know I could Google it but instead I finished a bag with it remaining a mystery.
