Will the cap for next season be $70M? I think there's a typo in the OP.

 

[888 98 twins]

We value Simon Despres, and will not be dealing him during the season more than likely. On the other hand, if we can get a more physical D-man in a similar stage of his development, we are more than happy to listen to offers.

In the offseason, we will also listen to offers for Simon Despres that include veteran shutdown D-men on decent contracts.

We will also be riding Marc-Andre Fleury's hot start into the playoffs. With the renewed defensive conscience the team has displayed since Jacques Martin's arrival, we expect Fleury to have a major bounce-back playoff performance.

Scottie Upshall (LNTC)

Ryan Whitney

PM!

Will the cap for next season be $70M? I think there's a typo in the OP.

Yep - why would that be a typo?

 

[SixthSens]

The Ottawa Senators have acquired veteran forward Ray Whitney from the Dallas Stars in exchange for Cory Conacher, Erik Condra, and Mike Hoffman.

"Ray solidifies our depth up front and completes our third scoring line. It was tough to give up Cory, Erik and Mike. We wish them all the best in Dallas."

Tomas Fleischmann - Jason Spezza - Milan Michalek
Clarke MacArthur - Kyle Turris - Bobby Ryan
Ray Whitney - Shawn Matthias - Mika Zibanejad
Derek Grant - Zack Smith - Chris Neil
Ryan Spooner

Marc Methot - Erik Karlsson
Patrick Wiercioch - Johnny Boychuk
Chris Phillips - Joe Corvo

Robin Lehner
Nathan Lawson​

 

[888 98 twins]

It says it's $70m for the 2013-2014 season.

 

[NYR Viper]

The Rangers are pretty much finished for this season and the future looks bright:

Kreider - 1 years @ 1.5 million

Brassard - 5 years @ 3.5 million/season

Moore - 2 years @ 1.25 million/season

Mashinter - 1 year @ 550k

Del Zotto - 1 years @ 3 million

Zuccarello - 1 year @ 750k

Falk - 1 year @ 700k

Kristo - 2-way deal, 1.0 million in the NHL, 95k in the AHL

Missiaen - QO

Stajcer - QO



We acquired very good young players who will help us moving forward:
Nieto
Palmieri
Sproul
Schroeder

And many picks which we will be using to acquire players of interest.
NYR 1st
SJ 1st
SJ 2nd
ANA 2nd
NYR 2nd
VAN 3rd
DET 3rd
NYR 3rd
NYR 4th
FLA 5th

We also acquired a valuable 4th line player in Eric Nystrom who we think will be a great addition

SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $57,794,167; BONUSES: $165,833
CAP SPACE (22-man roster): $4,036,667

Kept Salaries:
Dan Girardi - ($1.6625m)

We understand we are a very young team but we feel our future is VERY bright and will be looking at adding key pieces in the off-season with our very substantial cap space (Richards will be amnestied, Girardi, Callahan, Stralman, Pouliot, Boyle, D. Moore all gone)

Looking for:
Good young top-6 forward
Puck Moving D-man

I have a ton of prospects who are close to, or already NHL ready:
Nieto
Palmieri
Schroeder
Sproul
McIlrath
Miller
Kristo
Hrivik
Allen
Yogan
Fast
Lindberg

We don't have enough roster spots so quite a few of them will be on the block for the right player if they are available.

 

[IslesRock4]

It says it's $70m for the 2013-2014 season.

Oh, woops.

 

[holden57]

Offers starting to pick up for Alex Goligoski. I'm open to either roster players or prospects, not too interested in draft picks though.

Stephane Robidas and Vern Fiddler available for a mid prospect.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Tim Thomas has been traded pending the waive of his NMC.

Other than that, we're done for the trade deadline. Our final roster will be posted tonight.

 

[matt trick]

Eberle or Perron are available for a young, high-quality d-man. Prefer someone who leans offensive.

Schultz, Plitlick, Murphy, Arcobello, Zharkov, Musil, Marincin, Ferrence, and our 2015 1st are available to sweeten the pot.

Please don't offer me a stagnant #3 d-man for Eberle. He is a clutch top line winger who offers excellent speed, and two-way ability. I've had good discussions with two other teams but haven't found a deal both sides are comfortable with.

Kimmo Timonen (50% salary retention by Flyers)


SJ 4th 2014


We couldn't pass up this opportunity. Kimmo is a seasoned veteran with a lot to offer a playoff team still. With the Flyers looking to rebuild, we jumped at the chance to grab him at a discounted rate for our post-season push. He brings a steady two-way presence and will stabilize our PP2 as well.

We are all done for the deadline. Our deep roster has been bolstered, with two heart and soul players in Ryan Callahan and Timonen.

Hertl-Thornton-Burns
Marleau-Couture-Havlat
Torres-Pavelski-Callahan
Kennedy-Desjardins-Wingels
Brown, Sheppard

Vlasic-Braun
Timonen-Boyle
Hannan-Demers

Stalock​

 

[888 98 twins]

We have completed 2 trades.

First: Chris Stewart for Brooks Orpik and Chuck Kobasew

And: Tim Thomas for a 2015 2nd and Dustin Jeffrey.

We are thrilled to bring in these 2 guys for our playoff push. We expect Stewart to show great chemistry with Crosby, and it also gives us the opportunity to slide Kunitz back down to Malkin's line, which should greatly spark Geno.

We thank Brooks for his services, but we feel that Simon Despres is simply the better player right now. He's been patiently waiting for a roster spot to open and here it is.

Tim Thomas is a proven Cup winner and will be great insurance if Fleury begins to falter in the playoffs again.

Why would the Flyers do that? Tank for a lottery pick?

 

[Nuckles]

moar RFA signings

Andrei Loktionov - 1 year, $1,000,000 (1-way)
Jacob Josefson - 2 years, $850,000 per year (1-way)
Mattias Tedenby - 1 year, $750,000 (2-way)

 

[TLinden]

Why would the Flyers do that? Tank for a lottery pick?

They traded Giroux+Simmonds.. it's pretty clear that's their plan

 

[NowitzkisBrownNugget]

They traded Giroux+Simmonds.. it's pretty clear that's their plan

Not if the have any say...

 

[Dichow Stopper]

They traded Giroux+Simmonds.. it's pretty clear that's their plan

Yeah but at least they got value for them. A 4th round pick for Timonen with 50% retained is a ridiculous steal for SJ.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Race for the last place?

How about my Panthers now?

 

[TLinden]

Yeah but at least they got value for them. A 4th round pick for Timonen with 50% retained is a ridiculous steal for SJ.

The trick is to negotiate your trades when the opposing GM is drunk.

[Jamie Benn]

Willing to give up Jordan Leopold, Ian Cole or Roman Polak Magnus Pajaarvi and Brendan Morrow can go as well.



ACQUIRE ORPIK, KOBASEW

To Pittsburgh:
Chris Stewart

To St. Louis:
Brooks Orpik
Chuck Kobasew

The St. Louis Blues have acquired Brooks Orpik and Chuck Kobasew in exchange for Chris Stewart.

Adding a guy like Orpik completes our top four, in which we think is one of the best in the league with these acquisitons. Kobasew adds a bottom six guy who can get us some secondary scoring.

​

 

[NYR Viper]

With the deadline approaching the Rangers have a couple players available:

Pouliot
D Moore

Looking for late round picks.
