Thread: Bigger and Better
The probability off another 81.5 cap will dampen salaries. Doubtful teams will be paying 2-3 mil for a bottom pair defender, even one with potential upside like DeMelo. Teams will be able get very useful players for lower than normal salaries this offseason.
Meier is a much better all round player than Buch. Buch is soft & easily pushed off the puck. He gets 45 pts but with the feeds he gets from Mika, Kreids, Bread & Strome he should be scoring 65. Nobody on the team misses more open nets. He needs a change to get to the next level. He does have big potential though.
Eichel may not get traded, but if he wants out Buf will have to see what's out there and this is a very strong offer that improves their team in multiple spots. It'll suck for them to lose Eichel but they'll need to get back quality and this trade has it, IMO.
Overall the Rangers need to get much bigger & tougher to compete with the top teams. No doubt we have talent & youth. We need toughness, leadership and better D. Lower cost vets like Reaves & Maroon could help greatly. And a strong, stay at home physical defender like Dillon would allow Trouba to play his game and excel.
