Why would any team want Nameskikov? He's 4m ineffective. At least Callaghan at 5.8m is a little better but goes on IR enough for cap relief. I think Rangers will be good soon, they seem to have some good prospects. Once some of those long term now overpaid players have their contract ends, the Rangers again can be a cap efficient team.

So the rangers have a 2nd line center playing first line center, again, like usual. And a borderline 2nd liner in Buch on the top line. Yikes. And you fans wonder why we never win. You guys overrated Buch and overrate the poop out of skjei. Mika is 25 and hasn’t put up close to number one center numbers. Idc about 50 sum points. That’s a number one center on losers

Despite his slow start to this season, the 25-year-old Namestnikov is a versatile forward who can skate at center or wing, plays a two-way game and has decent offensive skills. He’s signed through 2019-20 with a $4-million annual cap hit and could be attractive to playoff contenders seeking second- or third-line depth. The rebuilding Rangers could consider moving him if they can get a suitable draft pick or prospect in return.
