Team: 2020-21 New York Rangers

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 11, 2020

Published: Aug. 11, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

1) I don't think any of this will happen, but I do think the values are pretty good.
COL : NYR is 100% spot on for value. Strome = Jost+3rd; Andersson = Kamenev.
TOR: NYR is maybe a little favorable to NYR. Georgiev = Kerfoot (not quite); Howden = moving down from 2nd rd to 3rd. And it saves 1ELC worth of space for TOR.
SJS: NYR honestly I'm not sure what exactly Lemieux's value is, nor what SJS needs, but I think this is in the right ballpark for a team that needs to plug the holes those two players can fill.

2) I understand we will be over with bonuses considered.

3) Ideally, there is a way to move Smith or Staal without giving up picks to satisfy the issue with #2 above.

4) I do not think Hank gets traded, bought out, or retires. Same with Staal. I think they're both looking forward to one more year, and then they'll both retire. (Staal will just be done, and Hank will go play for Frolunda).

4) If all of this actually happens, I think this is a low seed playoff team. It will take another year or two before they're legitimate contenders. Couple years of experience + team figuring out how to play together + a new head coach hopefully.
