Thread: This Is What Most Likely Happens
Nice job with the roster/explanation. The only thing that makes me raise my eyebrows is Jespar Fast. I see here you have him on LTIR, and if that's what actually happens, I have no complaints. However if he doesn't get out on LTIR, we'd have an interesting log-jam with our forwards (that's assuming Tkachyov fits in and plays well). I know that's a big assumption but still a possibility. Now who do you sit? Last year Buch was the odd man out, but I don't see that happening again this year. Tkachyov very well could be the guy sat, but if he's producing offensively it's unlikely. When Fast is healthy I don't see him being out of the lineup. Just something interesting to think about. If that happens could we possibly see a forward (maybe Nash) put in with a defenseman (Holden?) and a pick to bring back a decent center at the TDL? Maybe. That is of course only if center does prove to be a weak point as it is expected to be

Thread: Duchene for Hayes+
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Haanrngrsfn311. So you are so blinded being a Ranger fan. Teams aren't interested in mid range prospects....than want guys that can play in the NHL. You have to know Graves is very unlikely to play in the NHL and maybe even Halderson. Of course you conveniently ignored, Staal's NTC. I'm sure he would veto a trade to worse team in the league.
I'm not a big Duchene supporter and Hayes and something for Duchene makes sense. But please you trading AHLers and negative value Staal for also. Any GM even Sakic can spend 5.7m better on other player(s) than Staal. Sorry that's the reality of Staal's value.</div></div>

Actually it's very likely that Graves has a career in the NHL. He had a promising season in the AHL this year and I believe he's only 21 years old

Thread: Taking advantage of Wings cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JohnPance</b></div><div>The rangers cannot take on any more long term money thus Neilson cant work. I would love to ave him for one year but he comes with 5 more, WAYYYYY too much even at that cap hit. We need a stop gap for 1 year and thats it because even with 3.5 million only on him that wont leave enough money to Re-sign all the RFAs and McD. The rafers face a serious cap crunch next season due to all the re-signings.</div></div>

I see your point here. However, Nielsen doesn't have a full NMC, just a partial one. He can only name 10 teams he can't be traded to. It's incredibly reasonable to suggest he has around a 50 point season. That being said if the rangers truely won't have the cap space to fit in they're free agents next year with Nielsen on the team, they won't have much of a problem at all in sending his contract elsewhere, whether it be after next year or in the future. Just a thought.
