Quoting: GeneralLandro
What do you think Lindgren gets? 8 x $4,500,000 is my current thought
Schneider I think gets the Byram deal
I've chatted with several others about Ryan. The 8 years part is a given. On the dollars, your number is at the low-end of the range, $5.25M seems to be the high end. Anything at or between those numbers is in the ballpark. I personally think it will be closer to $5.25 because of the contract length.
I like Braden a lot!! But he won't get $3.8M yet. I'm quite a bit lower at $2.25M. Braden will get a 3-year bridge, and then one more bridge. $3.8M is not out of the question the next time around. In addition to Braden, the NYRs have to re-up Kakko and Lindgren as well. There may be a bit more in the kitty after the Kappo and Ryan contracts are settled. If so, I am more than willing to up my offer.
In my opinion, Braden could step in right now at RW2 and he would provide far better value at far better at far better cost. Trouba is a potential trade/buyout candidate next year. Trouba is moved, might be possible.
Finally, whatever the Rangers do next year, Igor's renewal comes up in 25-26. I've already looked into this a bit, In order to give $9.5M (which appears to be the maximum the NYRs can afford and equal to Andrei Vasilevskiy's current deal, they will have trade Artemi or place him on the taxi squad, The Panarin contract is so bad that of you get a $300K CAP hit reduction down to $11.3+M. For purposes of this response, I'll estimate a place on the taxi squad will get you a $1.3M CAP hit reduction down to a $10.6+ Cap hit until Artemi is moved.
Looking forward to hearing from you regarding my response. Best Regards.
