love it for the rangers

Would be interesting with Zibanajed, Dubois, Kakko, and Fox all needing new contracts in the same off-season

aren't Panarin and Gavrikov friends off ice as well? that'd be cool

It’s definitely an interesting thing. Would have to assume cap would go up by then to at least the 88 mil quota from earlier. Plus strome leaving. They would likely have to move another piece. Look at like geo and potentially kreids moving by then

I think $88m is a stretch -- isn't is supposed to be flat cap again next season? I don't see it raising $6.5m in one season in that case.

And yes, Strome is off the books. But you've also resigned Sheshterkin and Lindgren in that time, and also have Georgiev or another backup to lock down. It would definitely not be easy -- very quickly this rebuilding team would become top heavy.

It was supposed to be around 88 before COVID and even if next season is flat that doesn’t change anything it’s the season after that that makes the difference. Like I said strome gone, henrickson or Barron take over their, maybe kreids gone, and Georgiev gone and walk steps in there

Covid has 100% changed their plans. They want to recoup more revenue before hiking up the salary cap so high.

That’s what this years for and the ads
