BlizzardCyclone Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) What better way to stick it to the Rangers for not wanting him back? Heres an excerpt from an article that claims Shanny will be making a decision this week. Shanny Making a Decision this Week "It's got to be the right fit," Curran said. "The team has to be competitive and in a desirable geographic location, since Brendan's family is likely going to stay in New York." NJ is the closest.... Shanny Time CMON LOU! Make it happen!

Beezer34 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 From your mouth to Gods ears. I think Shanny is exactaly what this team needs right now, presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well the only other competitive team in a desirable location for him is the Flyers since NYR doesn't want him. Our powerplay has stunk, and we do need a PP specialist. I'm more open to this now than I was weeks ago but I still don't really want Shanahan.

Elias26 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If he's smart he will stay far away from this team and coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Sadly these are the type of situations Lou seems to deal with. Wouldn't surprise me if Shanny was here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 and a bad situation starts to eek towards worse unless it's secretly Sundin in the Shnny uni and contract NO THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festus Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 oh yeah...just what the Devils need. lets spend anything we have left under the cap on a forty plus year old player that was never very fast, doesn't kill penalties and doesn't handle the puck very well and is a defensive liability. and when holik comes back, we can dump the PECO power play, and have it sponsored by the AARP. after the home and home with Washington there are four very winnable games. Tampa, Islanders and Florida twice. By then several more players will be back, at least practicing, and we can get going again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 this team does not need brendan shanahan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I guess nobody has watched Shanny play lately. Yeah, let's pick up someone who will probably be a healthy scratch when we've got a full lineup and will make us waive Vrana. That would be smart decision making.

HellOnICE Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 What would anyone think of Lasse Kukkonen, the guy's on waivers from PHI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardCyclone Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 how can u be so sure? I doubt he would want to go to Philly... As long as the bridges arent too badly burned between Shanny & Lou, I think its a very high possibility that we will see him here at least for the interim... His family lives in NY, Id think NJ would be his first choice over Philly or NYI... He said he wanted to go to a competitive team, that rules out NYI and Im not saying Philly is not competitive, I just think we're a better and closer choice then Philly. Especially if this is his last year. He will get signed for a very small price. CMON LOU, finish that PANERA BREAD!! New from Panera...

Darwindog Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) I just puked in my mouth a little bit. Oh yeah - he's goin' to Philthy.

Devil Dan 56 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Please God no. What he said. This would be a total panic move... and I don't remember Lou acting out of panic much. The team should be close to back together (other than Marty) by mid December. At that point, there will be no need for Shanny. I like Shanny, but I liked Stevens, too. The time has passed.

skeeter Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It's not happening. As Lou himself stated back in September, "where will he play?". Lou said he has a tremendous amount of respect for Shanny, and still talks to him once in a while, but with Rolston hopefully back soon, there still isn't a place on the team for him, unless he becomes a 25 year old big puck moving D-man.

With the current roster....we are on the same level as NYI...mental edge goes to the Islanders as they will have DP back sooner. As the roster gets healthy and improves...so decreases Shanny's opportunity to play. I can believe that in the same forum that contains multiple threads detailing how "Langs has lost a step" that we are still considering Brendan Shanahan. It hurts that much for this franchise to taste defeat I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardCyclone Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 More Shanny Proof to NJ Albeit this article is from awhile ago, it does state this: "Shanahan, who rejected an offer from Lou Lamoriello, to sign a free agent contract with the New York Rangers two years ago......" There proves Lou still shows interest in him, and if we could pick him up cheap I cant see why they wouldnt. At least for the time being until we get over this injury plague.
