And it's not like he is a single guy living in a condo, guy needs a big house for his huge family, as well as all of the expenses for raising the 3? 4? kids he has.

Im not sold on Step as a #1 center. I think hes a tweener and slots in better at the 2, but opinions are like *******s so they say
Plus I dont think you break up Brass and MZA, too much chemistry there.
That's not how it works. You pay the taxes on how many days you work in the state. Not sure if they count practices and stuff but if it's just games it would only be 40 days out of 365.

Everyone just needs to step back off the ledge. You don't analyze a painter while he's painting his masterpiece. You do do after it's been completed. The roster may not look great now but let's wait until at least mid September before we start stomping our feet, throwing temper tantrums and yelling "TANNNNKKKKKK."

RIP, Jimmy.
Again, although that may be true, the cost of living disparity is very much alive.
Look at Sperlings best places. Compare Tampa and New York. You will find out how great the cost of living difference is between the two cities. Housing is 73% cheaper in Tampa.
Combine the taxes and cost of living difference and Stralman is going to come out WAY ahead.
I get what you are saying, but right NOW we are a worse team.
It is perfectly justified to be worried about that.

Rebuilding.
What are thoughts on Grabovski or Goc? Grabs is prolly too expensive now, but Goc might be a decent 3rd line C that's decently cheap.

The Pouliot contract is terrible and Stralman is not as good as McDonagh.
Rangers do need to do something though, but its only July 1st and the cup isn't handed out in July.
Why do so many of you insist on pencilling in Miller at 2C and Brassard at 3C?!
Brassard is our 2C right now.
Zuccarello (our leading scorer last season) isn't a 3rd liner.
Miller hasn't even proved he's NHL-ready let alone a second line center playing with MSL.
As of now, the top 6 will be
Kreider Stepan St. Louis
Nash Brassard Zuccarello (or Zuccarello Brassard Nash)

Then RIGHT NOW I look forward to getting our first overall pick tomorrow. I'm going to go out on a limb and say there are now hockey games scheduled tomorrow so I don't really care how we look 3 months away from the season.

Nobody is doing that.
We're upset with the moves that have been made so far and believe the team, currently, is not as good as it was last year.
Stralman leaving is unfortunate, but if we offered him 4.5 and he didn't accept then that's a shame.
Tanner Glass is awful and should only see the ice if a couple of other depth guys are injured.
Slats should go for Goc or something to help the 3rd line, because our bottom six is much worse than it was a couple of days ago.

For this team to contend next year, they're going to need to have some rookies step up and they'll need to hit on some bargain moves like the ones that brought Brian Boyle and Stralman here in the first place.
Which, granted, can be said about basically any team with a solid foundation in the NHL.

Pouliout is not a 20 million dollar player over 5 years. This or Miller is the worst contract of this UFA season so far.
We'll lose size and a ten cent head who's been an enigma for his entire career and finally found a fit for his game and is now off to Edmonton chasing the $'s. Good for him. No way on earth do I sign him for anywhere close to that term or dollar amount.
