I'm willing to work as well but a 1st round pick isn't in the conversation with me. Getting a 3rd or 4th doesn't ease giving up a 1st. I think the most I would retain is Goodrow down to 2.2 million'ish, because when you start talking about 1.8 million for 3 years, I'm not sure it makes sense to save 1 year of a bad cap hit buying him out. (But maybe the organization views it different) 5 years of a cap penalty isn't ideal, but retaining half over buying him out is costing us an extra 2 million next year on the cap, considering we gain 250k . I'm guessing they're gunning for a RW to solve the 11 players who have played that position with Kreider and Zibanejad since trading Buchnevich.
Rangers have a lot of prospect who will never see the day they play 25% of regular season games for the team. There's simply no room. I'm not talking about our top prospects but rather those that will need a different scenery to try and break through the roster.
