GDT: NY Rangers 2018 Development Camp Thread

[Tawnos]

It's easier to buyout Staal's contract than trade him, that NTC or NMC ( depending on which site you looked) really ****ed us.

It becomes limited on July 1. I'm not worried about it.

I'd prefer to have 3 vets. Staal is average at this point...I have no problem him on the bottom pair mentoring one of the rooks. This isn't AV hockey anymore where he would be getting 22 minutes of ice time. From what I remember reading, the young players only had good things to say about Staal and how he has taken them under his wing. Learning from vets is a vital part of a players development IMO.

You can be right, sometimes I forgot that AV is gone and things will be different. A lot will depend in how Quinn will employ our players.

they have trade value as add-ons and in 3 years he could be ready for NHL backup, then you trade him for a good NHLer when the rebuild is done. Asset management.

A back up goalie for a ‘good’ NHLer?....Define ‘good’?

Is Kravtsov-Wahlstrom this year's Andersson-Middlestadt already?

Multiply that by 1000x at least. Actually unfortunately it will be Kravtsov-wahlstrom/Dobson

And if for some reason Wahlstrom/Dobson won't become an elite player, people will blame the Islanders organization for it and say he would have been if we drafted him

According to CapFriendly, it's just a straight NMC, no limited NTC.

I noticed that too... not sure who is right here, though I'm fine deferring to them. The initial report though was that it modified in the last half.

Staal, Rangers agree to terms on contract extension

It is believed to include a full no-move clause for the first three seasons followed by a modified no-trade.

I thought it was that way too. I guess we will just have to see. I think he will probably stick around for the next 2 seasons as a veteran leader anyway. Then either bought out or complianced after the lockout if there is a lockout

I'm just glad it wasn't only our imaginations.

from ny post

Yegor Rykov, the young Russian defenseman who came over in the deal that sent Michael Grabner to the Devils, had to deal with immigration and visa issues and will not attend.

Do we know that this is true? Or is it that he's contracted with SKA so he can't show up here?

If thats true, thats good news though for him signing with the team after one more season.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Can Kravtsov buyout his contract, sign with NYR, then get loaned to the KHL team? In that situation he’d be able to play in Hartford and/or NY after the KHL season ends in April. Not saying that’s best. Just checking whether or not it’s possible/ been done before.

He can't buyout his contract at this point. He would've had to do so midseason 2017-18 for the 2018-19 season.

 

[TheTakedown]

Anyone know if the Rangers are inviting this guy to camp? He had Visa issues last year, I have to assume there is still interest...

Vladimir Tkachyov at eliteprospects.com

Also, any word on College FA's and Unsigned FA's?

Well, something can apparently be done, because it was reported today that Kravstov said he will make his decision sometime later this week about coming over or staying...for this upcoming season.

Gorton and Kravstov's agent are going to meet at the end of this week.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

@Pavel Buchnevich

How is this possible?

Its not. I've posted this a million times. Might as well sticky it.

Under new KHL rules, Milstein said a player can’t buy himself out of his KHL contract or be bought out of his KHL contract without 18 months prior notice, so Kaprizov is undoubtedly staying in Russia two more seasons.

Open dialogue: Wild GM Chuck Fletcher finally meets with...

I guess the only exception to this might be that there was a new rule put in place for players that get drafted to the NHL, but does anyone really think the KHL cares about the NHL draft? I doubt it. Gorton himself has said he's not sure when asked. He never said that its definitively possible.

 

[Irishguy42]

For reference:




Carp makes it seem like Kravstov is aware of the contract needing to be bought out. And I would imagine Kravstov is more aware of how his contract works.

 

[Irishguy42]

I just shot a tweet off to Igor Eronko. Maybe he can shed some light on things.

 

[duhmetreE]

So, Kravstov and Gorton believe he could be bought out.

 

[Irishguy42]

We'll find out more at the end of the week once Gorton has met with Vitaly's agent.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

If you watch the video, Gorton started by saying that he's not sure because he can't read Russian. I guess we'll get clarification soon. Its possible that Kravtsov's is covered under some different rule. Kostin agreed to mutual termination with his KHL team following the draft. Kravtsov might have that understanding with his team.

I really doubt that's a legitimate obstacle here...

Another issue is often that KHL teams don't let NHL teams see the contract. I think Garth Snow remarked that about Sorokin rather recently. Gorton might've even said it about Shestyorkin before. KHL teams are often not cooperative, so if they are still under contract, there's more obstacles than there would be from teams in other leagues.

Well that doesn't appear to be the case here as Gorton knows his contract is complicated, haha.
