Required to be signed for 2021/22 in order to be exposed?

that only applies to the 2 forwards and 1 d that you have to expose....now blackwell, rooney, howden and gauthier qualify to cover those 2 spots to give us options. But he would have to be protected or could be claimed without a contract...otherwise teams would just hold off on signing players

[Zibanejbread]

Hope he gets more opportunity this year if Seattle doesn't take him.

 

[RGY]

He should not be exposed. Blackwell and Howden should be the ones up for the taking.

 

[cwede]

Howden trade incoming

 

[Bluto]

He should not be exposed. Blackwell and Howden should be the ones up for the taking.

Why blackwell? Hes what we need in the bottom 6. Expose rooney and howden and ada and call it a day

 

[Vitto79]

So took the qualifying offer ?

Agreed. If we can sign a center to replace Rooney on the 4th line Rooney and howden should be the ones.
Get Bellemare especially if gallant likes him and there you go

Blackwell is replaceable. Do not let his hot streak cloud your judgement. He has been a borderline NHLer his whole career. Would I mind having him next year? No. But he is 27 years old and I would absolutely prefer keeping and developing Gauthier.

 

[nyr2k2]

Expose Howden and Gauthier.

Blackwell and Rooney are both better and IMO possess more value than the other two. Rooney has some backbone, provided solid production, etc. Replacing him at his current cost might not be so easy.

Howden is garbage and I see no room for Gauthier who is still living on unfulfilled potential.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I like Rooney, but I wouldnt mind if Seattle took him if we replaced him with someone like Bellemare, sure he's older, but sign Bellemare for 2 years and let Barron develop.

I'd keep the upside of Gauthier over either Rooney or Blackwell. especially with Gallant (see Tuch). . Do I expect him to be Tuch? no, but he has upside.

Because Howden and Gauthier are potential long-term options. Blackwell is here for 1 more year.

 

[ETTER DE]

Blackwell may have some value. Make a deal with Seattle. We trade you Blackwell if you take ADA.

 

[Off Sides]

My guess, this opens up the option for the Rangers to possibly move several forwards who meet the exposure requirements, as long as they keep at least two who meet it. Does not necessarily mean trade imminent, more just in case.

 

[nyr2k2]

I feel like when Gauthier is toiling in the press box and we're looking for depth like Blackwell at the deadline, people will have regrets.

so if they trade 2 of the 4 F's who meet the quota, the other 2 get exposed -
they then protect Ronning or Gettinger?

Or they bring back someone they may want to protect.

we will be exposing 3 of those 4, we can protect 7 forward. Panarin, Mika, Kreider, Buch, Strome and Chytil are locks to be protected. that leaves 1 spot to protect someone else.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

True, but if we're looking for depth like Blackwell at the deadline it won't be that hard to find.

 

[duhmetreE]

He should do well in a Gallant system

 

[cwede]

True, but if we're looking for depth like Blackwell at the deadline it won't be that hard to find.

Yeah, or as UFA, or even early season Waivers

 

[GAGLine]

We can only protect one of Howden, Rooney, Gauthier or Blackwell.

Zib, Panarin, Chytil, Strome, Kreider, Buchnevich. That's 6, unless one of them is getting traded between now and tomorrow at 3 pm.

 

[effen]

Chytil's not going to hit any sort of upper bound until he gets massively better with his vision and playmaking. His technical passing ability is fine but there's something off there most centers are just inherently better with. I do think he's a pretty high floor guy though and that has a lot of value as a middle six center. He'd look a lot better if the his middle-six center counterpart was a bit more a Gritty McGrit than Strome is though.

I still think the very best version of him is a winger.
