Pretty quick rebuild they pulled off there.

Haha, whenever a guy wants NY it's Rangers over Islanders.

If Lou misses out on Panarin/Lee/Bob/Lehner I'm gonna laugh so hard.

Offer sheet time?

Can't wait for the "We don't need you" chants when the Islanders play the Rangers.

If it's going to happen, it has to be Lou.

I believe the rumours were that the Rangers really wanted him but were coming in lower than other teams. So they either upped their offer or Panarin took less. I'm guessing he decided $11mil playing at MSG was good enough.

Montreal or Columbus are also in position and probably sour enough to fire one out there.

Rangers did a good job here and with a bit of luck (and Broadway appeal) are coming into the season + Kakko, Trouba, Fox, and Panarin.

Seriously doubt Lou would offer sheet a guy.

You're probably right. But if there's any personal animosity between the management of another club, and the leafs, it's probably in long island, and the prevention of these offer sheets seems to be at least partially due to mutual respect, no?

Leafs basically gave Lou a chance after his reputation was down in NJ and he built himself up again. Not sure what animosity he would have.

Lou was apparently offering $12.5mil.

Panarin signs for 7 years $11.6 but that's not good enough for Marner?

UFA always seem to get paid a little more but it sure looks like the Leafs will have to pony up.

He's more than welcome to sign an offer sheet like that.
