Surviving the offseason

Created by: TradeStaal
Team: 2022-23 New York Rangers
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 15, 2022
Published: Jun. 15, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
While the Rangers don't have a great amount of cap space to fill holes this season, any multi-year spending could really impact the team negatively next off-season.

From here we let Strome and Copp walk as 2C. Promote Chytil and sign Stasny to play 3C. This pushes Goodrow down to 4C and can still let them acquire a center upgrade if needed at the TDL.

As much as I dislike Nemeth he could serve as the 7th D and rotate as needed, would be easier to move in a "hockey trade" towards the deadline as well

Othmann makes the team out of camp, I think this is the most likely scenario since Cuylle can play in the AHL next season whereas Othmann's option is to go back to Flint, something I don't think will be incredibly beneficial to him. He can play in a 3rd line role and has the skill set to play a scoring role or a hard-nose checking role. I believe his contract burns either way so might as well get him up.

If my math is correct, this would leave the Rangers with close to $10M in TDL cap space and $20M next season to sign Miller, Laf, Jones and Chytil to important RFA deals.

All this while allowing Kravtsov to recoup some value as a player, hopefully becoming a more useful trade piece alongside Nils and Robertson

Additional Details:
Believe this is the latest of Chicago's 3rd rounders.

They don't have any goalies signed for next year and have the cap space to commit. Georgiev did well enough when he got consistent starts but isn't going to be a world beater which allows Chicago to compete but not effectively enough to ruin their lottery chances.

Additional Details:
Francis drafted Gauthier as GM of Carolina, he won't have a place in the lineup. Maybe could find success with a FO that believes in him.

Offering Kakko that contract is prime opportunity for another team to offersheet him for just a 2nd. And a team 2nds to spare or nothing to lose would totally do it

This option still leaves the Rangers with another $2M+ to match an OS, and if that isn't enough or they're expecting one they can buy out Nemeth.

Also he needs to actually sign an offer sheet, not saying it's impossible but I think the Gallant thing is being blown way out of proportion.

I could see the Gauthier deal. Like to add his size to the bottom 6. Though, it did surprise me that Gauthier was passed over for Blackwell in the expansion draft, so maybe Francis discovered some things about the player he didn't care for in the last 2 years with Carolina. (??)
