Team: 2018-19 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 25, 2018

Published: Sep. 25, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The notion here is to spread out the playmakers (Zucc, Buch, Spooner). Chytil needs top 6 minutes and as much as I want to leave both kids at C, they will have plenty of opportunities there. Namestnikov is a great defender so he'll be strong in a 4th line roll.

Most of these wingers (Spooner, Zucc, Vlad) will be gone at the deadline anyway.

The D-men are an easy choice. Neither Staal or McQuaid deserve to play and the trade was stupid from the beginning but Staal gets the edge. You can swap ADA and Pionk in terms of pairing but they get the same minutes.

Buyouts

Dan Girardi: $3,611,111

Highly doubt Vlad and Spoons are gone after those new contracts. Feel like Hayes is more likely to go. Like the lines though

I'd say the opposite. If they were going to stay long term, they would be signed to long term deals. They're gone at next years deadline at the latest, but very likely this year's deadline when they have a bit more value.
