Description

With Lundqvist, Staal, Smith, and Shattenkirk's (buyout) contracts all coming off the books at seasons end. As well as the Seattle expansion draft. It's more likely this offseason in particular compared to other offseasons that NYR makes no trades, no Free agent signings, and only buys out Lundqvist to get a little more $$$ cap room.

Fast is resigned. Miller makes the team out of camp. Smith is sent to AHL - maybe recalled before end of season if needed. McKegg UFA resigned as 5th center on depth chart and starts year in AHL or as the extra forward.

Di Giuseppe RFA resigned and competes with Barron and Kravtsov for 1st recall from AHL if there's an injury to a winger for more than a game or two. Short term injuries McKegg fills in at wing.

Gotta love the 3rd line! Whom will all move up to the top 6 if there's injuries on the depth chart above them.

It's very possible Smith makes the team ahead of Hajek and Rykov.

Buying out Hank to resign Georgiev makes absolutely no sense. It barely saves a buck anyway. Hank is either retiring or is the back up next year and Georgiev gets flipped.

Buying Lundqvist out saves $3 million, which is exactly what the Rangers need in cap relief. But I'd have no problem trading Georgiev for a 1st round pick or a 2nd round pick and a good player or prospect and buying out Smith instead.

But would rather buy Lundqvist out than trade Georgiev for less. If Hank plans to retire at the end of his contract or is not sure what he plans to do and Gorton can't get fair market value for Georgiev, it makes no sense to flip Georgiev just to have to look for another goalie at the end of next season of less quality and higher $$$ contract over more years in term.

I expect Gorton to draft a center with NYR's 2nd 1st round pick from CAR. But if there's not a center to chose from that Gorton likes, he could instead take a LD like Guhle or Schneider that could make the NHL team out of camp.

Though Schneider shoots righty
