When you're paying a really one-dimensional, mediocre player over $11M a year in a salary cap league, it's going to be difficult to ice a legitimately competitive roster.

I’m over the kid line. They were fun that 1 playoff run but haven’t been the same since. Need to get Laffy and Kakko into the top 6

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>saysthemachine</b></div><div>The absolute best thing for NYR would be if some team offered him 4x4.5 or whatever. They'd just be doing their work for them while also opening themselves up for payback. There is no OS they don't match, and they have plenty of people they can move.

He's not available. He's got more ESG than Stutzle despite playing almost no Top 6 minutes. Ottawa payed Stutzle 8.35m. Any OS in the realm of possibility is a NYR win and immediate match. It's not rocket science.</div></div>

Plenty...? It'd literally just be Goodrow we can move, and even he has a M-NTC to get in the way. Goodrow is the only guy to move that makes any sense to block an offer sheet.

NYR doesn’t consider this. Aim for closer to a Debrincat deal with a slight bit more value and a completely different destination

Thread: Byebye Goody

I like to check out Rangers AGM pages to see what the expected salary for Lafreniere is, and its always in the 2.5 million ballpark.

I'm an Ottawa fan and would like to see the sens offer sheet Laf for about 4.2 million, the compensation would only be a 2nd round pick

he has not been good for the last 3 years, his numbers are similar to Forsberg.

depending on what other offers there are for Cat, this could be a devastating trade for OTT, teams do not gamble top assets on G because they are too unpredictable, one second their are vezina caliber then next they would not even make the AHL. Laughton is a good 3rd line players, a little on the old side tho for OTT (29).

Laughton is worth a 2nd + maybe another pick in round 3 to 7 so 2 picks

Hart is worth the same a 2nd + a pick in round 3 to 7 or a C prospect to B- prospect is a team have a bunch of those.

OTT would need someone else comming back if they trade Cat in a trade like this with a 3rd team as Cat alone has more value than Hart and Laughton combined and your adding Thompson

Can't see Buffalo doing that, think you would need to sweeten the deal for 13.

Thread: no laf rangers roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeMcNeely</b></div><div>Bettman already shutdown talk of a cap increase by 3M</div></div>

Bettman wants to shut it down, but the owners work for him, not the other way around. For once the middle tier GM's are getting hamstrung and need the cap to go up.
The players will likely be short 90m.
Should the cap only go up 1m this season, it likely jumps 8m the following. And bettman knows that will be terrible.

He's shutting down that talk because theres alot of reports the owners are not happy. And while usually its only the rangers/leafs who want the cap to keep jumping, right now you have middle tier financial teams like Dal/Van etc who represent large tv markets, who need the cap to jump.

Trouba would certainly not reject being traded to his hometown team that will be hopefully be contenders during his (latter) contract year.

Thread: More possible offseason Moves

Perron has a lot of value to the Wings as a guy who can be a locker room presence and score 20 or so goals. I'd be surprised to see him traded before the deadline (assuming we don't just re-sign him)

Thread: More possible offseason Moves

No. Perron is a leader on the Red Wings. We'll gladly take Trouba for a 2nd and a 3rd. Or Zadina and a 2nd.

Thread: Goodrow Buyout Makes More Sense Than a Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>saysthemachine</b></div><div>I've been yelling about this since the moment it was signed. It's like it was designed to be bought out around now. 2 years of extra cap space vs his AAV and then a negligible cap hit to follow, further minimized with the cap going up.

Agreed. It’s amazing how many of us have been saying it and yet no one seems to hear/understand it.

Not trying to pick on you because ive seen it a lot but i think NYR fans are underestimating how much its going to cost to resign Miller long term. Buying UFA years will be in the 7mil range.

The only silver lining in all this for the Rangers is they don't have to give up a 1st round pick for that stiff Kane. What a waste of a trade.

Detroit gladly accepts, Doubt Trouba comes home just yet. Where his wife ends up with her practice will probably determine where he goes. Hopefully they both decide to come back home to Michigan.
