I somehow don't think that Lafreniere will displace Panarin from the 1st line.

Kinda like this. That other first is pretty expendable know and a great way to clear some cap early though I don’t like the salary retention

This team has Panarin on the line he played with most of the season.

If you're gonna eat half the salary for each you might as well just keep staal and pay for Smith to go.

Bonus overages are going to eat this team alive. New York needs to have like $4M in space going into next season or the year after is going to hurt just as much as this one will.

Kings take that deal. You probably don't even need to retain, because, to be fair, Marc Staal is of SOME use to us as we transition to Bjornfot and Anderson as our top 2 LD the next year.

Kings 100% take that cuz they only have contracts going off the books and can do turcotte andersson if they draft stutzle or andersson to the wing if Byfield. I don’t think it makes much sense for the rangers though cuz they don’t need cap relief now but in 3 years when their contracts are up and laf needs a new one after all the Rangers’ young players.
