Quoting: melloni17
Not to mention not figured in is a contract lost to Seattle! That draft is after this season!
Rangers are fine in that regard.
Kakko, Kravtsov, Fox, Miller, Lundkvist, Shesterkin are all exempt.
You protect: Zibanejad, Chytil, Andersson, Howden, Buchnevich, Kreider*, Panarin* -- * if they are on the team, Lemiuex could be input for one of them if not
Defense: Skjei, Trouba, DeAngelo
Goalie: Georgiev
UFAs/potentially gone: Lundqvist, Staal, Shattenkirk, Namesnikov, Vesey
Potentially Exposed: Lemieux, Strome, Vesey, Ronning, Lettieri, Nieves, Lindgren, Hajek, Day -- losing any of these doesn't really hurt the rangers that bad at all as they have plenty of prospects to fill the void. Most likely it would be one of Lemieux or Hajek to go, and we have enough defensive prospects in Miller, Rykov, Reunanen, etc to fill hajek and only have to worry about filling one bottom six forward role
