Thread: Can we stop trading Strome amp TDA please
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bbousa</b></div><div>If we deal Kreider, we will not have any cap issues. Plenty of open $ for Strome, TDA, Georgiev, Fast, and Lemieux. But I think they need to deal Kreider, Strome, and Fast. Get picks and continue to stack the future.</div></div>

?????? Kreider next year isn't an issue. Rangers have about 18m in cap space with 9 players to be signed. If the RFA are kept Deangelo, Strome, Lemieux, Gordiev, With term those guys cost at least 12m.
So the leaves 6 m for 5 players...and trying to avoid bonus carryover that 6m maybe can't be spend. So it looks like one of the RFAs Strome might have to be replace with a cheaper player. Those buyouts totalling about 8m next year really hurt. But Rangers look pretty good with young players coming up, and in couple of year that buyout money gone as well as Staal, Hank, and Smith.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>What you're missing is:

A. The expansion draft. We will lose one of Hank or Georgie for nothing in return if we still have both.
B. Igor can/will/is likely to skitter back to the KHL if he isn't called up next season after posting these insane numbers.

So we could potentially lose one or more goalies with nothing in return. Hank isn't guaranteed to retire at his contracts' end. He still keeps us in the games.

As a fan, I want to see Hank retire a Ranger, and the best and most profitable way to do this is to trade Georgie and run Igor/Hank until Hank retires, then Huska if he's still around</div></div>

Hank has nothing to do with the expansion draft. He'll be a UFA and no need to protect him or certainly draft him.
