Time to be Bold

Team: 2021-22 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: May 20, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Rangers add veteran leadership to the Center position. While becoming a "heavier" team to play against.

Bruins- Kreider waives NMC to go back home to Boston. Rangers include 2 prospects. Bruins send underperformer Debrusk. Young Dman in Lauzon and depth forward Lazar.

Sharks go into full rebuild mode finally. I feel the compensation is adequate since Couture is now 32. 2 1sts, a blue chip Dman and a bottom 6 forward may be too steep. But the retention of salary drives up the price slightly.

Blues receive a top 10 Center in the league for a top 6-8 Center. Debrusk is a 2nd/3rd line player add in the 4th rounder I think that is fairly accurate compensation.

Calgary- Tkachuk being in his early 20's was the steepest price. Georgiev is a 1B goalie could eventually become the full time started depending on Markstrom. Strome has developed into a solid point getting 2nd line center. Kravstov is 21 year old Blue Chip Prospect. Robertson is a potential 4-5 Defenseman if there needs to be a stronger Dman prospect could maybe go with Zac Jones. You could add in a pick or another prospect to replace Kravstov other than Lafreniere.

UFA

Coleman adds quality Veteran and Utility Player attitude to 3rd Line
