Louie Lams attempted to make a splash in the Free Agency market today.
Well, maybe more of pitter-patter.
In a signing that hopefully will not be the replacement of Brian Rafalski, Mr. Lamoriello signed blueliner Karel Rachunek away from the New York Rangers, giving the Czech d-man a $1.5-million, one-year deal.
In 66 games with the Rangers last season, the 27-year-old registered six goals and 20 assists for 26 points and skated at a minus-nine.
Dear Lord please let Rad Brad re-sign with the team…
Alas…
Half as many goals as Gomez last year for 1/10th the price. Now THAT’S a Louie Lams move.
Dammit I’m trying real hard to be positive and see the upside but this is tough.
THIS RACHUNEK SIGNING COULD JUST BE PART OF A TRADE PACKAGE
I’m thinking that this signing puts an end to hopes of signing Souray. I never liked Rachunek and hope this is temporary.
Its been several hours since this “signing” but still havent seen his name added to our roster, and not even TSN has this as a signing, but the Zubrus signing was added pronto?????????
Sorry, Patricia, but I just read at the arena that Rad Brad just signed with Tampa Bay.
