Initial Creation Date: Aug. 23, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Didn’t care much for trade values. Just trying to show what I hope the team will look like in 2 more years (obviously banking on a ton of growth from Kakko, Laf and several of the other young prospects in the system).

Some of these kids in the lineups probably won’t be NHL ready or might not even pan out

Trouba at even 6 mill is a solid contract, he could easily return more

That's banking on a lot, especially with the Rangers track record of developing young talent. I definitely see Laf and Kakko potential though imo
