Rangers News: Rangers Lose Shelley, Sign Boogaard

PrintAfter a bit of a contract dispute with the Rangers, enforcer Jody Shelley has decided to sign with rival Philadelphia Flyers according to Bob McKenzie of TSN. The deal is for three years at $1.1 million per, which is basically matching Colton Orr's deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs last summer. In my opinion, it is a big mistake letting Shelley go and I feel that Sather should have dealt out the money to Shelley, and you will understand why after I tell you the following signing the Blueshirts have made.
In order to replace Shelley, and Brashear I guess, GM Glen Sather has signed 6-foot-8, 257 pound bruiser Derek Boogaard for 4 years at $1.65 million per. This is Donald Brashear all over again but even worse. Boogaard has recorded just 14 total points over the course of five seasons in the National Hockey League and has not scored a goal in the last four years. So now Sather has made one of the best signings of the day (Biron) as well as the worst (Boogaard) in the matter of three hours.
The only thing "Boogy" brings to the table is size, strength, and fists (105 PIMs last season with Minnesota). He has absolutely no offense, he cannot skate, and not much hockey sense whatsoever. Do not get me wrong, Boogard is one of the top enforcers out there, but for $1.65 million he will just be wasting cap room.
More importantly, I would now like to see Slats re-sign Prust, Staal, Girardi, and Prospal after coughing up close to $2 million to a fighter. Once again, the Blueshirts become the joke of July 1st in the NHL because of that signing.
Anyway, the rumor that had the Rangers and Flames making a deal has been swirling around, but when I asked NYR beat writer Andrew Gross about it, he said there is "nothing worth reporting". So I think we have put that rumor to rest.

Derek Boogaard to NYR. 4 years/$6.5 million. Didn’t GM say he wouldn’t overpay? New Chris Rock-inspired slogan: Sather, please.
Weren’t we just here two years ago, with some guy named…..Voros?

Told ya'll.....
Signing Biron (and I guess EC) on the cheap means he overpays for a useless sack. Enter, Boogy man
KEEP LEE!!!
So, tell us Flyers fans why we should be happy with Shelley at the $1.1m per?

You can't say that.
Off ice relationships do translate to better play. Athletes going through divorces tend to struggle a little during those times.
And, it worked for AA with Shelly on the team last year. And those words are staright out of Anisimov’s mouth. Having Shelly helped him perform.
Soooo
Rangers problems: Bad contracts, little cap space,no scoring depth, terrible defense.
Answer: Boogaard.
Kill me, somebody please. Now they have to somehow sign Marc Staal still and still fill key positions with no cap room. But hey we have a fighter who can’t play in any key situations! Dolan needs to get his head out of Lebron James’ ass and open his eyes to a GM who is torturing every fn year with these deals.
Remind me. Why am I still a Rangers fan?

kinda how Voros started strong before becoming the invisible man on offense
Voros is 35x the hockey player Booger is.
You’re seriously underestimating how bad he is.

I am in no way saying he will score more than the 1 goal
but he will score 1 early in the season. Probably som ekind of fluke, maybe opponet’s defense puts it in their own net And I was just using Voros as an example of how he started strong then disappeared. not comparing their talent.
Incidentally
I’ll take that bet, if you wish.

Maybe spending this cash means Redden is hitting the minors?
I will try to look at the positives. The Rangers didn’t really have money to spend on free agents anyway, and I think most want the youth movement. This signing does not relegate the Rangers to a lottery pick folks. They have their backup G, they brought back Gabby’s C. Get the RFA’s signed and bring on the youth!
Yea man...not to worry
We have EC as our #1 center!

Minnesota posted a record of 29-22-6 when he was in the lineup, and were 4-0-0 in games that Boogaard registered a point.

He also logged a career-high, 11:58 of icetime and a team-high, five hits, on December 19 at Ottawa.

Kurtis Foster text to me: “Tell Pierre McGuire if he mentions I’m overpaid again, to where a helmet between benches this year! (kidding!)”
i just got home from work, put on the comp to check todays free agent signings, i see that we picked up Biron which is nice. And then, oh…………the horror…………the horror, i see we lose shelley and pick up another goof like Brashear for ungodly money. please someone tell me this isnt true. bad enough we lost colton for brash and now lose shelly who was just starting to ease the pain of Orr and we get the boog. being a rangers fan is soooo tough these days
dont get Staal signed but throw too much money at Boo makes sense Glen. what the hell is going on in the front office. i dont even think Mess can fix this and be any different

Overall, I think the good outwieghs the bad
Prospal, EC, Biron at their prices were very good. They offset Boogaard’s deal, and Boogie will not see the ice time the others will.
Have some confidence in the PLAYERS, even if oyu distrust management. We chear for the players, not the management
anything where boogaard gets 6 mil is bad

Boogeyman is a GREAT signing!
Wow. I am surprised at the naivety about the game of professional hockey. Do you remember Carcillo pounding our star player last year? Did anyone see our four picks in the draft? They all can fight. There is still a strong need for a physical presence on every team and by signing Derek Boogaard we now have perhaps the best fighter in NHL history. By signing McIlrath, we have a tough, big, mean D man for years to come. The writing is on the wall boys and you may bitch and moan about skill but I’m pretty sure your tune will change when we play the Flyers next season. You don’t judge a player like The Boogeyman by his offensive stats for God’s sake. It’s the protection and intimidation factor. This is a fantastic signing.
didnt expect him to get 3 mil thats for sure. On the other hand what center on the Rangers is better than him?
by Kmp on Jul 1, 2010 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Signing
I actually love this signing. Boogaard is probably the toughest guy in the league. Do you think anyone is going to run a Rangers this year? Also, I say keep Prust and lose either Staal or Girardi in order to get Mcdonough here. Or send Wade redden down. You have to make room for this kid.
McD aint ready for the primetime
Gilroy was Hobey Baker winner year before, and he wasn;t exactly a star. Who’s to say McD will make the transition any better.
Give him a year in Hartford and then insert him into Reddens spot
Gilroy’s a converted defenseman still learning things like positioning, etc…
McDonagh’s got that part, it’s his offensive game that will have to develop further. He’s also a much bigger guy that brings the “toughness” the team is concentrating on bringing in.
They’re both defenseman, but it’s a bit of apples to oranges with their styles.
