We (Rangers) would decline.

Tampa will never bring DeAngelo back to their organization.

Tampa would never bring DeAngelo back, No reason for them to.

No way the rangers do this trade for starters. And two they can do this trade for the fact that they have to be 4.2 million under that cap due to the bonuses (6.1 million max all others count against the cap)

Do cap bonuses not carry over if needed? I thought they did

Bonuses Overages can carry over. The bonus cushion is a fix amount each year 7.5% of the cap or this year 6.1 million. If you have bonuses that exceed that amount then they are counted as cap hits. You can see on the Rangers tab under teams they number in red at the top Bonus Cushion Penalty, that is the amount that they have to be under the cap to be legal. A team can have more bonuses then the limit, but any bonuses over the limit are counted as cap hits this season, no deferring (without being a real cap hit, hence not listed on the bottom of the rangers page) . So the Rangers would need a min of 4.2 million in cap space to have Miller join the team, and if Kravtsov makes the team it would need to be at least slightly over 5. And the Rangers are going to need more space then that since the way the CBA is written they will be unable to use LTIR if they are over the bonuses cushion, since LTIR is only for exceeding the cap and the Rangers will not be able to approach the cap. (so they can not get relief for injuries if they push it to the max., and adding any young players with bonuses to replace them only makes the problem worse)

The down side of many young players with major bonuses.

Oh ok interesting to know
