According to some Nashville guys on the main trade board Ellis is available for a top six forward. Hagelin? Then we can pull the trigger on a Staal deal that gets us an elite forward.

Why not just Staal for the forward and keep Hagelin? Or del zotto for the forward and keep hags
 
The cap should be over $70M next season. Jeremy Jacobs said the cap will go up a lot for next season(14-15). Stan Bowman said the cap will go up to $75M next season. His boss Rocky Wirtz said revenue will increase by $1B in 3 years. That's $82m-$83m cap. The agent Allan Walsh has tweeted the cap rising to $70m next season and in the $80m range in 3 years. So the Rangers will have room to keep their players with a cap in the $70M plus range for 14-15. Amnesty Richards. Some lockout. All of the teams will have the $ to keep their players with a $70m plus cap. This is the tight year.

You're misquoting what the article said iirc. The article you talked about said there will be 1 billion extra revenue over the next three years. That's not the same as saying in three years, revenue will be 1 billion higher.

I found the earlier one, but could you link to the bolded please?
 
Would you guys prefer Steve Eminger or Bobby Sanguinetti as the 7th defenseman option for next year?

If we stand pat, we're looking at (With a healthy Staal)

McD-Girardi
Staal-Del Zotto (Inverted again)
Moore-Stralman
Falk

But we ran 8 blueliners last year, and I suspect considering the lack of NHL ready defensemen in Hartford they'd want a bigger safety net.

I would like Eminger back as a depth player for the inevitable Staal injury on the backend. Don't really trust Falk that much. That defense is probably top 10 overall in the league, top 5 defensively.

definitely Eminger. After his conditioning stint he played very solid and has earned his role on this team.

Eminger. He was fine in a bottom 4 role the past few seasons. I can't think of a reason not to retain him. He knows his role and doesn't complain.
 
so because of Richards staying and the draft passing, every one of our ideas have gone to hell lol. So at this point all we can do is fill spots with hungry and talented youth and just get over the growing pains. I still would like to sign Nystrom or trade for McLeod to give us a little more toughness for the 4th line. And if Boyle's traded, I'd be more than OK with a Lapierre signing.
 
The team isn't finished. There will be trades IMO and maybe a signing or two for the bottom 6. This year will depend on Richards bouncing back, Stepan doing what he did last yr and Nash
 
LOL at anyone who thought the rangers would make a splash yesterday. Got your hopes up for nothing.

This roster is by no means awful. IF Richards can bounce back like he is claiming he will do then we will compete. They could use some depth players. Look at guys like Raymond and Stalberg. Go to war with and see what is available at the deadline.

Talking with some NHL people who say the League is projecting the Upper Limit to go up 33% over 3 years. That's a $80M Upper limit.

Right back to $70M+ RT@GlobeFluto: Jeremy Jacobs: Cap should rise substantially in 2014-15.

Once again lending credence to my thought that the lockout wasn't about trying to make teams profitable, but rather about trying to make teams more profitable than they already are.

A tandem of Falk/Eminger for the 7/8 spots would be fine.

Pasta looked better in the NHL than he did here in Charlotte, oddly enough. I'm not sure if that's sustainable or was a fluke.

> Weak at forward
> Stacked on D
> Trade proven top-9 forward for small, slow, non-NHL D
> Profit
 
Once we get Zuccarello signed we'll look better at forward, though the first few weeks without Cally and Haglin will be a grind.

I'm still going to advocate adding a scoring forward, but with Richards here that's almost impossible.

He's Hagelin-lite. I'd take him for sure. Very good puck retrieval type player.

Dont think he's Hagelin-lite. Sharks desperately have needed speed on the wings for years and they're letting go off a speedster like Galiardi. He is probably a 4th line player.

Thanks. That's a meteoric increase. I guess that other article was misleading. Stuff like this just makes any long term contract for McDonagh/Stepan even sweeter.
