Rangers News: Christensen Re-Signs for 2 years

PrintLarry Brooks of the New York Post is reporting on Twitter that the New York Rangers have re-signed forward Erik Christensen for 2 years at $925,000 per year. This is surprising since Christensen originally turned down a 2-year offer for $750,000 per yesterday, so that means GM Glen Sather increased his offer to meet Christensen's asking price, but hey, Erik was very good with the Rangers last season and is well worth the extension.
Christensen, age 26, recorded eight goals and and 18 assists for a total of 26 points in 49 games played with New York in 2009-10. After being acquired via waivers, he quickly became a fit to play with star winger Marian Gaborik. The Edmonton native has quick hands, knows how to move the puck, and can finish when he has the opportunity. Christensen mentioned that last season was his last chance to prove he belonged in the National Hockey League; he did that and more during his time with the Rangers.

Hi everyone
I am a Pens fan and I have always liked Christensen since I started watching hockey. He is a pretty good center and very good at a shoot out! I am sure he will do even better with the Rangers this year.
Let's go Pens!

leighton deal not smart money wise, but i do give credit for the loyalty, and for them saying you saved our season, we will reward you with 15m to be in a 1 and 1a goalie tandem
by Ahmad Bradshaw on Jul 1, 2010 1:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Leighton's not that bad
With the ongoing disaster that is Philly’s goaltending situation (Have they had a REGULAR starter since Ron Hextall?) I don’t think this is a bad deal at all. Leighton gives them alot of insurance, and keeps any re-tread starter they bring in on his toes. $1.5 mil for a top flight back up is not alot when you’ve had all the trouble they have between the pipes.
I think we can enter the Biron deal here
Not only is Biron a former Sabre, but he’s been better then .500 three times in his career. Seems like there could be better options out there. I worry he’s gonna falter and we are back to Hank getting 70+ starts
Still a 91% goalie, which is better than most of what’s out there. Wins and losses are mostly team driven.
He’s been better than .500 more than three times too. In fact, I only see 2003 and 2010 as below .500 years.

by Michael Gleich on Jul 1, 2010 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't want to totally defend this, but..
One of the reasons AA Prust and Shelly played well was AA’s ability to not worry about being messed with. those are his words mpore or less in an interview he gave to some Russan outlet. So, even if he can’t hit a barn with the puck (Boogaard) There is something to be said for aiding other players. Perhaps someone else can link that AA interview.
Yeah but that line worked because Shelley could play-he had some skating and puck ability and was good on the forecheck-also a smart player. Booger is nothing more than a rabid wookie on skates.
byers could do that job or one of the other big kids we got

That's great
But it still doesn’t explain why we didn’t sign Shelley who was cheaper and probably a better overall player.

No one is debating that Boogaard
isn’t needed. He just isn’t needed for 1.65

I’ll certainly debate he isn’t needed. He’s just about the worst hockey player in the league.

I can’t even fathom something this horrific. We literally are paying 1.65m a year for someone with no discernable hockey skills, in any facet of the game.

Boogaard’s peeps gave the #mnwild one last chance to sign him. They said no thanks at 4 yrs, $1.65 mill
Gee..I wonder why. Because that’s approximately 2mil per year too much for him?

No worries guys. This signing pays for itself if, the first time we play Philly, Boogaard breaks Carcillo over his knee and then wields him like a bat to beat down Shelley.
That only helps if in the process Boogaard hits LTIR.

Between him and Avery teams would forfeit just so avoid having to listen to them talk. We should re-sign Esa Tikannen to center that line. I’m telling you there’s a plan here.
Don’t forget Prust!

Sather’s problem is that he actually BELIEVES that its okay to overpay for FA’s. He doesn’t understand that you don’t HAVE to sign them. He also believes that you can screw over your RFA’s. He just a warped understanding of how this should work.
Stand pat – you don’t need to over pay for Boogaard, and Underpay for Dubi and Staal, etc…
fuckin ridiculous
Only slightly more than Boogaard!!!

Tony Lydman to Anaheim at $3M per year for three years. Done deal.
I'm lost
a 4 year deal for the boogyman. The guy is a beast no question but would you break up a good thing. Sather offers a 2yr 825K to Jody and then turns around and offers a 4yr 1.65 mil to a guy who yes is younger but cannot skate and has zero ability. Whe nJodt rejected the offer i would have gave him a 2yr deal worth 1.1 mil to stay in our locker room not down the NJ Turnpike. Fuck you Sather serious Fuck you..AWAKE Sather Awake him somebody

Nice. Considering Isaiah had to sexually assault a woman AFTER destroying the Knick’s franchise before getting his ass canned….we’re stuck with Sather until we find pictures of him taking it up the ass from a canadian Moose.
do you think the only way for this to be a good day is move redden & sign kovalchuk?

WTF another great FA signing by sather..lets a team guy whom all the players like and mess with go to Philly and lets sign a guy who cannot skate or forecheck only fight..WTF..Derek will only play against Philly this year but lets give him 1.65 mil
How about a well-deserved, lucrative contract extension for Wade?
Would not f*cking surprise me at this point. This guy has lost his goddamned mind.

One could argue
That Sather was forced to do this when the team as a whole failed to respond when Philly beat on Gabby. If there was some more heart and sole on this team, a true enforcer would not be necesary. In all honesty, the Rangers are a bunch of Pansies, as a whole. I wish they weren’t
was he. he had 4 months to get shelley done, so he wasnt forced to massively overpay this dude.
by Michael Gleich on Jul 1, 2010 3:27 PM EDT up reply actions
+1
Furthermore, than bring up the young guys like Byers and Weise, who are tough gritty, and will stick up for teammates. Then we’d have Prust, byers, weise, avery – no enforcers, but that’s fine – they’re tough, gritty, and willing to fight.
Don’t forget Dubs. He has no problem throwing some punches.

But the fact he’ll go if needed is enough.

I am not condoning the signing,
but, I will give the guy a chance to prove his worth. When he puts the beatdown on a few guys next year, NYR fans will be mighty happy
I also have no problem with bringing up younglings willing to drop the gloves.
Just making a contrary view on things
In 5 years..he’s proved he can cheap shot people, fight, and…..yeah that’s about it.
No hockey skill. Making 1.65m.
There’s no defending it, it’s the worst deal in the last 30 years.

First of all, I think Prust serves fine in that situation. Second of all, Boogaard won’t be on the ice with Gaborik anyway. So that argument holds no water.
by Lunkwill Fook on Jul 1, 2010 3:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Prust is no heavyweight
and the argument does hold water. Just because the enforcer is not on the Star players line, you may have to match up against the enforcer on your next shift if you go after the star.
That is the point. you may not have to answer immediately, but you will later in the game. Do you not remenber Nick Fotiu? I used to watch him literally come off the bench, skate up to a guy and throw down.Nick is still a fan favorite
You have to match up their enforcer? What are you talking about, you think their enforcer cares if your enforcer wants to fight him? What does that do? Avery did the right thing that game and went after Carcillo later. That’s all you can expect.
by Lunkwill Fook on Jul 1, 2010 3:34 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think I am
You defend a star by keeping people off him. The time to defend Gaborik was when Carcillo started effing with him. Boogaard wouldn’t have been on the ice. Avery did the best he could do afterwards but aside from grabbing THEIR star player and beating the crap out of him, everything else is overrated.
by Lunkwill Fook on Jul 1, 2010 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions
The reason he mesed with Gabby
was because he knew that NOONE on the Rangers would stand up for him, not at the moment OR later in the game. If there is no fear of paying a price, you do what you want. Kids can do what they like when their parents are not home, but smart ones show restarint because they will pay LATER if they do when Daddy comes home
But someone DID stand up for him later in the game (Avery) so that obviously didn’t matter. The problem was no one on the ice would stand up for him and, again, Boogaard or Shelley wouldn’t have been on the ice ANYWAY.
by Lunkwill Fook on Jul 1, 2010 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions
I call Bullshit. Gaborik decided to get into that all his own. What in the hell is having Lurch-on-ice going to do for that? He won’t be on the ice with Gaborik, so what’s the point. And Carcillo would NEVER in a million years go with Boogey.
Umm…guys like Carcillo/Avery do it all the time. They’re not heavyweights, and they’re not THAT dumb.
And Philly will laugh as they’re beating us 4-0 because they upgraded their defense immensely, and we did absolutely nothing to improve our scoring.

Derek Boogaard to NYR. 4 years/$6.5 million. Didn’t GM say he wouldn’t overpay? New Chris Rock-inspired slogan: Sather, please.
REALLY?!?!?!
I’m up for hurling jars of jam at the Garden. F this. This is worse than I thought was possible. Blows the Brashear idiocy out of the water. I thought maybe he was getting it. Fooled again. Prokhorov- PLEASE buy a team, move it to Brooklyn and I’m yours!!! The Brooklyn Shots is good….

I htink he will far outscore
Brashears number last year. I think he will have 5-6 assists for the year (Brashear had 1 pt last yr) Thats a 500% improvement!
5-6 assists would beat his career high by 25-50%. Though players are supposed to peak about now.

I do believe that the Chiefs played for the league championship at the end of that movie
and Sean Avery can dres them up in womens clothing
I didn't think we should keep Orr, and I still agree with that at the time.
But I thought then, like I do now, that Sather was right not to throw 4 years at a 4th line player who basically fights and nothing else.
But after this, I have no concept of what is going on in that front office. How do you balk at 4 years for Orr, and give Boogard, a 40 times worse hockey player, the same length, plus 65% more than you were going to pay him.
Camp Tortorella - Where Vomit is a Mainstay
WORST PART
the worst part is, once he gets on the ice, you can’t even Boo him (not that its his fault though)
“Booooooo”
No, the worst part is at 1.65m, he just priced out Prospal for us, because there’s no way in hell Prospal’s taking less than 3m from us after that deal.
