Was Derek Stepan's agent Eustace King at the Rangers facility today?

In the background of the Jim Cerny and Christian Thomas interview,Clark is talking to the African-American gentleman. He turns around a few times in the video.

Click on Eustace King

Same guy? Goatee.

All of the agents were in town for the NHL draft.

Dude seriously you need to be hired by the CIA to locate terrorist or something else more useful than hockey tidbits lol. Still amazed at some of the stuff you unearth
 
$3.7B in revenue. 50%. Subtract $100M for benefits. Divide by 30. Get the mid-point. Add 5%. Add 15%. $3.7B is a cap slightly above $70M. $70,437,500. Higher than the $70.2M.

The CBA provides an example with $3.8B. $72.45M upper limit. Page 260.
 
Philadelphia Flyers ‏@NHLFlyers 5m
TRADE NEWS: #Flyers have traded (D) Danny Syvret to the NY Rangers in exchange for (F) Kris Newbury. MORE INFO: http://*******/11bskTH

Teammate of girardi in juniors....I remember him from back then had a huge year on a stacked London team but hasn't done much yet. Gives us a guy in Hartford that can be called up
 
Who said it was $1B each year? You had the same issue with this last week.

What is the salary cap formula?

Stan Bowman is discussing a $75M cap for 14-15 and you're discussing a $71M by the end of the 3rd year.

Yeah, and while that source was a little hard to interpret, I would believe he ment 1b in revenues from directed actions cumulatively in 3 years.

Ie, let's say there was no winter classic. The marketing dep gets a mission to create 100m new revenue. They come up with the WC, and that is 50m. They run a national ad on TV, which is anticipated to create 50m more revenue. It's 100m, it don't matter if HRR goes up or down, you can trace 100m to new measures so to speak.
 
Benoit Pouliot, who wasn't qualified due to a $1.8m salary and arbitration eligibility, is an interesting name for upgrading the skill on the 3rd/4th lines. Not too physical and is somewhat one dimensional. But puts up okay numbers around the 30 point area.

Of course, he's a big body without much physicality, soo... there's that.

More talented version of Taylor Pyatt, same level of inconsistency. Apparently he had a decent year for the Lightning and actually worked on his effort, but he'll always be an inconsistent ~30 point tweener.

Wouldn't be 100% opposed, but I'd rather go in another direction.

Yeah. He isn't exactly versatile. Then again, none of the 3rd liners available are versatile. It's just another name out in the world.

he will be also turning 27 and not in his 30's like Pyatt... if not Lapierre, Raymond, Gordon, I wouldnt mind Poulot for a year or 2.






he will always be remembered for this.. LMAO at Lapierre yapping at Lisin
 
Ahh Enver Lisin. I get how the guy didn't put up number here. But he isn't doing it in the KHL either. The guy is a complete enigma. More so than Kovalev, whose skill actually translated.

lisin really wasnt very skilled. he was just fast.
 
Matt D'Agostini wasn't qualified either. Now, there is a player that seems right up Sather's alley. Stock fell through the floor after being a 20-goal scorer three years ago and looking like he had a bright future.

He's good on the PK too, so that'd be a plus. Depends on the contract.

Eh, if a team as weak up front as the Devils didn't qualify him, with another RWer in Clarkson about to hit the FA market, it says something about how hard he's fallen.
 
so if we could move Pyatt and Asham, and sign Raymond between 3 and 3.5M, maybe he wants to play under AV?.. then trade a defensemen for a top 6 forward even better.
 
Why are we giving Mason Raymond $3.5M (especially with the lack of cap space the team will have) when Fast will likely be able to fill that role next year, if not this season?

Agreed that he's fallen. But he wasn't qualified for the same reason Pouliot wasn't. Large QO combined with arbitration eligibility and that teams can't walk away from awards less than $3.5m.

Fast will not make the NHL this season. And so what? We can add him to the team next year though just checked his production, yeah I agree 3.5 is way to high thought he was better than that

How do you know this? I'd say there's a chance he makes it, especially if Callahan and Hagelin miss the beginning of the season/training camp.

I doubt Raymond will take a one year deal. Why sign him to a ~3 year, $3M deal when we'll have cheaper, young players with more upside making the team over the next few years? I don't see the point of going after all of these depth forwards when the Rangers have a ton of these types of players coming up through their prospect pool.
 
Happy the Devils wasted two first rounders and a 7th this year and next.

What did they waste two first rounders on? Are you suggesting a 27 year old #1 goalie is a wasted 1st round pick? I'm assuming the 2nd is the forfeited 1st rounder next year...and if so, I'm quite happy about that!

I'm just saying they haven't stocked their talent pool with 3 important picks.

He still has nothing on Artyukhin in the enigma category.
 
TSN posted this:

The New York Rangers will not be welcoming forward Ryane Clowe back, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.

The Blueshirts had interested in retaining the Newfoundlander but their' decision not to use a compliance buyout on Brad Richards put them in a financial bind where re-signing Clowe became impossible.

What is the financial bind they're referring to? How would it be impossible? Wouldn't this affect FA signings too?
