Confirmed with Link: Rangers buy out Shattenkirk

[MyLoveIsBlue]

Caps lose Shatty win the Cup. Blues lose Shatty win the cup. I see a trend?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Pretty sure it is, otherwise why the hell wouldnt they??

It isn’t. It goes against Vancouver.

They only get hit with the retained money.

 

[eco's bones]

Presumably they shopped Shattenkirk for a 7th and no one bit?

Because he's not been worth anywhere near the cap hit he's getting.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Also, some of you might be right. We might pull of a trade for cap space. Just to secure cap for negotiations with ADA and Lemieux. But more importantly to free up another spot in the line-up. (looking badly at Namestnikov ... I feel bad too though, no offense. Same goes for Shat, poor dude)

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Still think we’ll see a trade cause we’ve got too many forwards but now a move isn’t forced.

Yeah I think a kreider at fair value move happens

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

It isn’t. It goes against Vancouver.

They only get hit with the retained money.

Thwn I think thats a bad move by Gorton, not shedding two instead of one.

I guess he still could?

 

[Thirty One]

They had 2.

The Vancouver one isn’t levied against them.

Don't think there's any limits on the number of buy-outs, is there? Besides three 2nd window buy-outs over the course of the CBA.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I hate this.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He can.

 

[Black Aces]

This offseason they went two steps forward, one step back.

Maybe 3-4 steps forward and possibly 1 back.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Don't think there's any limits on the number of buy-outs, is there? Besides three 2nd window buy-outs over the course of the CBA.

I think it’s a limit of 3 at any given time.

They gave DG and now Shattenkirk. They can buy out one more.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Maybe 3-4 steps forward and possibly 1 back.

If staal plays significant minutes it’s 2 steps back

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

He can.

I feel like Shattenkirk was bought out for some unforeseen reason, no sense to buy him and not Smith or Staal

 

[NYRFANMANI]

If anything the buy-out in itself is two-steps forwards and one back.

 

[Leetch3]

Caps lose Shatty win the Cup. Blues lose Shatty win the cup. I see a trend?

That trend will end at 2

 

[FIRE DRURY]

If staal plays significant minutes it’s 2 steps back

He does help the last year of the Tank though!

 

[will1066]

There is no money for CK and what he is going to want . This just gives JG more time to get a fair offer. One would think CK should put up really really good numbers by the TDL. If by some minor miracle we are in a cemented playoff position by then and they don't trade CK by then so be it but I doubt it. Names we will be lucky to get a 3rd rounder for otherwise just keep him and say bye bye after the season.

I mean who wouldn't mind a LW depth of Panarin and Kreider for a few months? Panarin faces opposing top lines and defenders and Kreider feasts on lesser obstacles in his way.

 

[will1066]

There is no Tank.

 

[RonaldNeptune]

Trade kreider, finish bottom 5 and let’s get a future 1C in the 2020 draft...

 

[FIRE DRURY]

That’s what I’m talking about.

I feel bad for LeMew and ADA, who will get nothing bridge deals likely. Sucks not to have negotiating leverage.

 

[bl02]

I could be wrong but if we are a bottom 5 team that means guys like ADA, Chytil, Lias, Howden, etc have not progressed in their development. I hope the draft is pretty deep at center where we can pick 8-12th range and end up with a very good center prospect...or hey maybe luck into the top 3 via ping pong balls.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I feel bad for LeMew and ADA, who will get nothing bridge deals likely. Sucks not to have negotiating leverage.

ADA sure has some. He could ask for 2 million. I'd put him down for that, arbitrarily. Agree and Lemieux though.

Sure there is, I explained it in a previous response to you. This fixes the cap issue this year, and really only leaves dead cap NEXT season, when we have plenty of money coming off the books and likely only Strome, Fast, and Georgiev to re-sign (potentially ADA and Lemieux). You can argue for alternative approaches but it's not hard to see the logic in this move.

I've never heard that before.
