Confirmed with Link: K'Andre Miller - Re-signs with Rangers - 2 years @ 3.872 million

[Zynbanejad]

Great deal

Lmao is your pic Kravtsov in a Canucks jersey?

 

[duhmetreE]

we couldn't get that extra year?

I fully expect Panarin and Trouba to be gone in 2 years.

Yes

 

[JHS]

Very good deal. Like Miller a lot and think he’s a key piece moving forward. Also love that his deal was done ahead of Laf. Again sending messages to Laf loud and clear!

 

[Kords]

Love this kid, glad he's still an RFA after the deal. Sucks they couldn't give him 8 years at a reasonable aav but them the breaks I guess. At least Fox's contract should age well and hopefully set a salary standard for future negotiations.

 

[RangerBoy]

Good work by his agent.

His agent Ian Pulver used to work for the NHLPA. He helped to write the NHL CBA.

 

[Fitzy]

He won’t be overly old if we sign him to an 8 year deal after this one. 25-33 is fairly safe for a player of his style.

Continues to remind me of Jay Bouwmeester

 

[Crease]

But what about Scanlin.

when has the Rangers gave a long term contract to a young player in recent years?

That’s an apt comparable. Never thought of that

I do see much more offensive potential though.

We might regret not locking him up long term by this time next season

But what about Scanlin.

Love them with Baked Potatoes and butter

Fox

 

[Synergy27]

There should be no cap penalty for signing/re-signing any drafted player or player that made their NHL debut with the team. Its ridiculous that the NHL penalizes teams when they do something right, and somehow teams like Tampa and Vegas are allowed to circumvent the cap at will and win Cups.

I agree with this. The cap should not apply to drafted players, or players that made their NHL debut on your team.

This approach could potentially help the growing Canada problem as well. Incentivize players to stay with their Canadian team by allowing them to pay them more than they can be paid in Florida.

 

[Crease]

The cap is not for parity. It’s to keep player costs down.

the league absolutely finessed the players union during covid.

What would the cap be normally now? with a normal 50/50 split? $95M?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Fox

I was shocked they did not bridge Fox.

With a normal 50/50 split, the players wouldn't have gotten their full salaries in 2020-21.

You shouldn't have been. We had the cap space to go long with him and if anyone should be locked up long term, it was Fox.

The problem with the Rangers, traditionally, is that they seldom budget for those long term deals.

Yeah I know.

They were short sighted

Depending on exact definitions:
Mika got 5 years when he was 24
McD 6 years at 25
Stepan 6 years at 25
Staal 5 years at 23

EDIT - even Trouba was 'only' 25 with his 7 year deal

They're in a tough position. Some players need the money. The owners don't.

 

[mas0764]

Which is why he’s going to be the casualty next season. They now obv know what Fox is

He should have been a casualty already.

Too many bridges, which is what killed our last core.

Oh well

All because we couldn’t say no to Trocheck, Trouba, and Goodrow non necessary players.

Igor should probably not be resigned.

Should be traded when he has some term then. If (when) they don’t win the Cup this year, ship out Shesty for a haul, Kreider for a haul, and Goodrow and Trouba for cap relief.

 

[Fitzy]

I mean Trouba is overpaid but he’s still absolutely crucial to the team as currently constructed.

I hope Schneider and Emberson take big steps forward this season so that no longer becomes the case

 

[Irishguy42]

Good deal. Straight up.

Skjei got a 6 year deal coming off his ELC.

 

[McRanger92]

Expected deal, no issues. Him and Lindgren need new deals at the same time. I wouldn’t get too attached to #55
