Thread: Kreider signing rumor
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DoubleADoubleK</b></div><div>Start by burying Smith, buyout Staal and Hank also, unless he goes to a contender. It would be nice to keep Kreider at that range considering he'll age well. The only stickler is NO NTC in year 3 and beyond, that's the year we're in cap hell.</div></div>

I'm going to treat this as a troll post. Henrik definitely isn't getting bought out. Buying out Staal only grants a 2mil savings, which becomes even less once you replace him on the roster. Current cap hit is 5.7mil, buyout is 3.5mil, then add ~1mil for a replacement. So you save ~1 million. Not worth it. He's actually playing better as of late. It seems best to ride out his contract not to handcuff us any more seasons down the road

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SoxRangersBadgers</b></div><div>Howden as the 3C is giving me nightmares. I also think that Tony D contract may be a touch light. He will want to make up for him being so underpaid this year</div></div>

I'm hoping Tony D can stomach a 5mil contract until 21-22 when we will have the books nice and clean to give him what he deserves. A lot of this hinges on whether or not we can re-sign him. I really hope we do.

(On that note, I'm going to edit the team and give Tony D's term 2 years instead of 5 years, to reflect that)

As far as Howden, that'd be the casualty for missing out on signing Strome. There's really nobody else to play 3C right now. That's a problem to be solved next year or in 21-22, unless some kind of ELC swap gives us someone with 3C potential

Thread: Keeping the young players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Petrock83</b></div><div>Seabrook is having shoulder and double hip surgery. Shaw is on his, what, 5th concussion? And De Haan is having his 4th shoulder surgery. I wouldn't call it "unlikely" that any of these guys call it a career, those are life changing injuries and operations. Also, the Hawks are absolutely, 1000%, not going into the season without a real starting goalie.</div></div>

I don't see a situation where they keep any combination of those 3 young players and also sign a real starting goalie... that was more of the point of this, just seeing a different outcome rather than banking on everyone retiring. I agree, it's a starting goalie or all three of these players... and I low-balled all three of those contracts

Hey, if I had any of those surgeries I'd sure as heck retire... but these guys just keep going. Seabrook was just saying how many months ago he can still play. I'm not saying it's completely impossible, but nobody knows that as fact. Why not have at least someone try to build a team without everyone retiring?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gregory_papas</b></div><div>idk y the rangers haven't even tried playing deangelo on the LD this season. he played LD in the past successfully. this season is a good opportunity to find out if he can play LD in the pros.

the rangers have some really good D prospects, the only problem is none of them project to be top pairing guys. i remember when the rangers traded gomez for the mcdonough package, he wasn't projected as a top pairing guy as well, so there is still hope.</div></div>


It's a really small sample size, I know, but they do throw Tony D and Fox out there late in games when it's time to get some offense. In those situations he's on the left, so it seems they at least are aware of it haha. RIght now it's a little tough long term I think because who are you going to put on the right side in his place? I guess there is the Joey Keane guy, but I don't know if he's good enough. 10 points out of the playoffs now so it's likely a closed deal, I'm sure moves will start being made shortly after the All Star break

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sagecoll</b></div><div>Not a very bright one apparently...


The guy in the top right is Hank, the guy in the bottom left is Francouz

now find them compared to the rest of the league...you'll see Hank still pulling away from the pack.

Coupling this with his otherworldly performance in the playoffs, The cost for Hank is going to be high....</div></div>

Cool charts that mean absolutely nothing :D
