From a logical standpoint, yeah.
My only question is how much are they actually willing to commit to Bob and how much of an influence will Coach Q have?
They could easily sign Panarin and go after someone like Lehner for less years and dollars. It's hard to commit all that money and term to a goalie when you just drafted the best goaltending prospect in the last 7 years, maybe longer.
I'd be surprised if that was the case. I think they're just adding as many top quality prospects as they can.
Now if a guy like Nylander popped up on the market? Then maybe that changes, but I think Toronto will be looking for more immediate help with perhaps a long-term investment attached as a smaller piece.
----------
very good draft overall, bern seal of approval
sub 6' C w/skill but of a gamble, but @Ola likes him lots, so ok by me.
We should not have done THAT Marleau deal.
I said
Marleau at full pop for Staal at half.
That would have been better than forking over a 1st.
And still possible we can swing Nylander to Rangers, although not including K'Andre Miller.
Kreider.
We will extend him as long as he is reasonable, which I expect him to be at like 6.2 x 5 or 6.75 x 4. I know that's a bit team friendly, but I suspect intangibles are worth it.
Shat
we need our exemptions for deadwood/cap Namest., Smith/Staal.
Trade Deangelo, play KS this yr
we can/should also move Buch+ for value as well as Deangelo.
Lemieux not huge $ worth keeping
possible bruiser checking line w/Gettinger
that = enuf $ for Pana

Ya, honestly, if I were the Panthers, I wouldn’t touch Bobrovsky on a deal any longer than 4 years. Knight is a f***ing stud, the dude may be ready to go pro by the end of next season (though I wouldn’t count on that).
I think Panarin is the much better investment, but the Panthers are the Panthers for a reason. They may very well botch this.

Alright. I have to share this. Today the management approached us on their way to the bus and I was in the process of taking a picture with a Rangers fan and Chris Drury when Drury says "Hey. Is that Statboy taking our picture?" And I'm just standing there thinking "so it's not just Bobrov" and at that moment Bobrov walks towards us and I thank him for what he said yesterday to which he says "no. Thank you for all the work you put in. We all notice. You represent the Rangers fan base with everything you do"
What do I say to that? This is crazy. Ask @Inferno
He was there

Rebuilding.
From the Athletic
New York Rangers
I was really high on Matthew Roberston heading into the season (like late first round high) and then he never really took the big steps I was expecting out of a long defenceman with his skillset. There’s a TON to work with there though. A worthwhile project.
The Karl Henriksson pick at No. 58 fits that same mould too. He’s a little guy with loads of talent as a passer. If he can get a little stronger and learn to go to the net, he’ll be good.
I love Zachary Jones, too. He ranked No. 63 on my board and I debated having him several slots higher. He was a kid who I recently wrote about as a potential sleeper and I think that’s true at No. 68.
All told, I liked what the Rangers did on Day 2. The Leevi Aaltonen pick really jumped out at me in the fifth round. He ranked at No. 92 in my final ranking and I included him as one of my 10 sleepers of the draft for his fearlessness (he’s 5-foot-9 but he doesn’t play like it). That’s a great pick 130thoverall. A worthwhile swing on talent (as most swings on talent tend to be).

You say, "you can send the cheque to....."
But seriously, it's awesome to be acknowledged like that. Nice work
"Hey Chris, when can I get you on my Podcast?"
No but for real, that is awesome. Just goes to show how far not being an idiot can go in terms of the way the organization views you. I know another NYR Podcast where the hosts are more or less banned from Ranger related events.

I take it your draft weekend was pretty good?
That's $1M with no state income tax in Texas. $5M per? The cap being set at $81.5M doesn't help Zuccarello. Hanzal is done. Dallas can spend to the upper limit and put Hanzal($4.75M) on LTIR. They have most of their players signed. I read they may have an interest in Stralman. They need a righty D.
So many of the other teams are already pressed up against the cap with their own key young group II's to sign.
Yeah, and I mean, they will just keep pilling up because there are so many of them out there. Still, if you have someone that probably easily could have gone 30+ spots earlier (I like Robertson more than Harley), it’s hard to pass up. But I just think it’s something to pay attention too for sure. Otherwise you will stand there with 15 LDs in the system to which you have 1-2 comparable RWs. Is that good? Of course not.

I was hoping we could swap Shatty@50% for one of their bad forward contracts.
They are just people like yoh and I , doing really cool jobs.
Real recognize real
It’s cuz of the energy you put in man. It comes out in the ways it’s unfolding for you bc of authentically of why you do it
It’s the way the universe works man

We had Robertson "very high", and it sounds like buyouts are very much in play if we want to sign a guy or make a trade that requires it.

I like the NYR draft a lot.
Round 2 may not have been the sexiest but it is pretty easy to imagine Robertson and Henriksson filling roles on NHL teams for a long time which would be a huge W.

I forgot about this regarding Nylander's contract.
On July 1, 2019 Nylander will receive an $8.3M signing bonus. After this signing bonus is paid, he will be owed $24.7M over the next 5 seasons. Therefore, while his cap hit will remain at $6.96M, he will only be owed $4.94M/year in real dollars over the rest of his contract.
