Thread: Rangers team is set
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>Yes but that would be for more than 1 year.. for a 1 year prove it contract, that is about right for DeAngelo and high for Lemieux. Look at what Labanc took after seasons of 40 points and 56 points, a 1m 1 year prove it deal.

It's the player betting on improving his performance to obtain a higher contract in year 2. Say DeAngelo puts up 40-50 points this year, he'll make more than 4m in year two which will be better than him signing a 2-2.5m 2 year deal this year. That's exactly what trouba did last year (although he wanted out of WPG also) and he got a 2.5m raise in year 2</div></div>

Without arb rights, short of an offer sheet, they have no options other than sitting out. They can't just sign with another team. If they sign for 1 year they will still be RFA's next season but they will have arbitration right's, giving them leverage to negotiate that higher value, longer term contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Deangelo is getting at least 2.75 mill. Will butcher just signed for over 3 mill and he had the same amount of pts as Deangelo while playing 17 more games.</div></div>

Apples &amp; oranges. Nylander , a #8 overall pick, put up 61 pts in back to back seasons &amp; still had to hold out till December for a team whose GM consistently stated their young core would be Maple Leafs for a long time, &amp; Butcher was a college free agent coming off a 2 year deal with a team starving for defensemen. The Rangers cap situation, unless they make a trade before the start of the season, sets up a completely different scenario for DeAngelo.

Thread: bennett trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>thumb</b></div><div>But we have had him on the block since the draft, wouldn’t he have been moved already if that’s the case? Teams know we want him out and have limited cap and are gonna squeeze us.</div></div>

The team is cap compliant right now. They bury Smith &amp; Beleskey &amp; they have a little over $3mil in cap space. They sign DeAngelo &amp; Lemeiux, who have no leverage, to 1 year qualifiers of @ $900k, making them RFA's with arb rights next year, &amp; they go into camp with just over $1mil in cap space without "needing" to make a trade. They then wait for teams to realize, through injury or underperformance, that they need a proven vet to improve their lineup &amp; players like Namestnikov, Strome &amp; Kreider become more appealing &amp; the Rangers get a better return. Claesson is just unnecessary.

Thread: Not Overlooking The Obvious
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>saysthemachine</b></div><div>I like this. It must be a bad deal for OTT and CBJ somehow.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Riley816</b></div><div>Ottawa gladly passes unless the draft picks are going the other direction.</div></div>

So Ottawa with $20mil in cap space and a roster that "boasts" forwards like Bobby Ryan, Artem Anisimov, Mikkel Boedker, J.G. Pageau &amp; Anthony Duclair wouldn't have any interest in a versatile player like Namestnikov for 1 year to help bridge the gap while young forwards like Brady Tkachuk &amp; Colin White continue their development? Maybe we change the 2nd to a 3rd or 4th in 2021 but the idea that Vlad has no value unless the Rangers "sweeten" the deal is ridiculous.

Thread: Next Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DoubleADoubleK</b></div><div>You forgot Buch, Georgiev, Strome, Names? Cap should go up to 86m hopefully. Sounds like Kreider wants 7x7.3m, ouch, especially considering he'll be turning 30 when deal StartS!</div></div>

My bad on Buchnevich. He probably gets 2-3 years at $3.25-$3.5mil. This scenario is for 2020-21 so Namestnikov is UFA if he hasn't been traded. Georgiev &amp; Strome are RFA for 2020-21 so if Strome isn't traded &amp; Shesterkin hasn't forced his way onto the big club making Georgiev expendable, then that will have to be addressed. I haven't heard anything re Kreiders demands except speculation. Hayes got $7mil for 7 yrs from Philly but he's a center &amp; 1 yr younger so I can't see how Kreider could expect as much or more that. Maybe Gorton also sees that 6'3", 230lb wingers with elite speed don't grow on trees.

Thread: Who goes Need to clear 5 million and open 2 spots
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>delneggs</b></div><div>Buy outs are more expensive than eating 50% salary for two years because they stay on the book for 4 years. They still have to pay Girardi for 4 more years. If they buy out Shatty, the cap hit in year 2 is over $6 million, so no way they do that. He is the most tradeable too. If they buy out anyone, it will be Smith. I personally would look to see what I could get for Kreider because let's face facts, there is no way they will pay him anywhere near what Boston gave Hayes, and that's what Kreider will want. If they can get a 1st round pick, and a good prospect, then I say pull the trigger. Moving him and buying out Smith solves all the cap issues, even with paying Trouba $7.5/year. Not an ideal thing, but better than costly buy outs or trading young kids in my opinion.</div></div>

The team is projected to have $27mil+ in cap space next season with no real "need to" RFA's/UFA's to qualify/re-sign &amp; $56mil+ the following season. Buying out Smith , dealing Namestnikov and/or Strome this season &amp; giving Kreider (who has a skill set they can't replace internally or externally) $7mil for 7 yrs, starting next season, isn't going to handicap the team that much. With potentially 8 or more players on entry level deals in the lineup this year, plus more next year &amp; 16 draft picks for the next 2 drafts, they should have plenty of cap space &amp; assets to continue to add to the roster as necessary.

Thread: Kulikov Cap Dump From Winnipeg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Braah</b></div><div>It’s a $825K hit.....</div></div>
I'm speaking from a Rangers perspective.
Yes, Beleskey's hit is $825,000, but you're trading that for Kulikov's which is $3,258,333.
From Capfriendly:
What is a Buried Contract?
Teams do not receive full cap relief when a player on a one-way NHL contract is reassigned to the American Hockey League, or is loaned to a team in another professional league.
The players salary cap hit, minus the sum of the minimum NHL salary for the respective season and $375,000, still counts towards the team’s salary cap total.
The cap hit relief is therefore equal to the minimum salary of the respective season + $375,000:
2019-20: $700,000 + $375,000 = $1,075,000

Beleskey - $1,900,000-$1,075,00 = $825,000
Kulikov - $4,333,333-$1,075,000 = $3,258,333
