Description

Hank buyout at the end of the year.

DeAngelo re signs.

Fast re signs.

Strome is still questionable.

Miller, Pajuniemi, and Lundkvist all play in the AHL next year.

Staal plays out his contract.

Smith is questionable, but likely to play out his contract as well.

Lias is gone (likely not for a 2nd, but who knows)

I still don't like this lineup...gonna be another tough year for NYR fans plagued by shoddy defense, but providing just enough hope by great offense.

I will agree with your explanation maybe a 3rd or a 4th but definitely 2nd at least not from Detroit.

I find it funny how the Rangers moved up into the draft to take Lias Andersson, And now he's looking like a bust. I actually wanted Holland to draft him. Boy did we dodge a bullet there.

Yeah, I think he's worth a 2nd or 3rd still at the very LEAST, but the hard part is finding a team that wants to trade for him. A 2nd rd pick (in a so-so 2021 draft year) for a Center prospect that has pretty solid 3c potential and is young, cost controlled, and has a bad reputation (so he can easily be extended for cheap) is a good deal, I would think.

buying out Hank would be such a sad thing to see, to save 3m in cap space next year...is that even worth it. You can retain 50% of his contract and trade him and have more cap savings than buying him out.

I agree completely...but

They have tanked his value by not playing him. Pundits all think he's washed up, when really he's just cold. They've made it pretty clear they are not playing him over Shesty/Georgiev, so nobody is going to trade for him when they can get him for free; they'll offer him a couple mil (vs 4.25) after the buyout.
