I've always felt like Kakko will not completely break out offensively until after they eat some of his UFA years. Considering he has been terrific on the other side of the puck this may actually work out big time in the Rangers favor.

If theyre both worth $10 Mil a year, we'll be very very happy as fans lol. The cap of course is a concern, but as we've seen(TBL), teams have ways of dealing with the cap to keep core players around.

This is the post I responded to:
I can tell you now Breadman's gonna be disenfranchised if Strome is gone. First, Blackwell, then Buch, and possibly Strome.
I don't give a rats ass what Artemi is disenfranchised about. If he's unhappy with the moves made, he can ask out.
The goal is to win a cup, not make individual players feel warm and fuzzy.
AP is the 2nd most talented player the Rangers have ever had (Jagr being the most) And I would prefer that he stays with the team fur the duration of his contract, but I am not one that is willing to bend over backwards to accommodate the feelings of one player. The team is is bigger than one player.

Get me Nosek out of the bottom 6 guys, although he's better suited in the Beef category.

It scares me a little that Brooksie has us tied to Danault.
We overpaid for Goodrow, what would we give Danault? Short term would be fine with the ELCs... it gets dicey in a few years.

The Rangers wont be paying those type of cap hits for 3-4 years. And right around that time Eichel’s contract would be ending. The Rangers would be able to figure it out the same way Tampa has.
I understand the concerns, but like @bobbop says, fans worry way more about the Cap than Teams/GMs do.

Tampa Bay just showed you again last night the cap is basically meaningless
If comes down to it in a few years they need to free up cap space they’ll attach a pick to Kreider and dump him
It’s not that big of a deal

false - none of their players make $10. Trouba would be their 4th highest paid player with Panarin #1.
The hope card doesn’t work.

As long as you aren't giving out full NTC's like sticks of doublemint gum

They've signed their players to big contracts and given NTC's and NMC's all along the way. They did not perfectly plan their salary cap the whole time. They just knew what I am telling you. The salary cap is broken. The TBL just traded $5M of cap in Tyler Johnson for $6.8M of cap space in Brent Seabrooks corpse. It's bizarre and its broken. There are many ways to make this thing work long term. Shouldn't keep yourself up at night about it. For me the key is to sign the RIGHT players and not waste cap on the wrong players who become burdensome.
Kuch, Vasi, and soon to be Point will all have caphits of 9.5 without a state income tax. That’s easily 10+ anywhere else.

maybe you should have shared those “many ways” with the Chicago Blackhawks who dismantled their powerhouse due to the cap.

Larry must have gotten the text from Sather this morning that Schneider may be part of the package for Eichel lol

This has been obvious for quite a few years now. I think the flat cap has teams/GMs more "aware" of the cap...but they never seem overly concerned.
And to be honest, I can't really blame them. There's usually a way out - trading assets to be rid of a contract, buyouts, LTIR, etc...and most of the time, the GM handing out these deals isn't around to see the bitter end. Just the way it works.
dismantled so much that they only won 3 cups. Oh, the horror!

Tampa is done IMO ( meaning cups ) until cap escalates and/or Stamkos contract is gone.
Their entire bottom6 is gutted. They still have a great top6, top4D and Vasi. So they will be a playoff team that might win a round or two, depending on matchups, but I dont see them getting past teams like the Islanders anymore.
They stand to lose Palat and Killorn as well, unless they take sweet heart deals.

Strange tweet with literally zero context. On both what the "trade" would be and what the "mistake" has been...

So 2/3 Rangers players will be on LTIR yearly? Great, everybody better than Trouba gets north of $8 million.
I think youre entitled to your opinion and you have a right to be concerned. It crosses my mind as well. But its just not something that will be a real concern for about 3 years minimum. A lot can and will change between now and then
Or we have a chiropractor diagnose Trouba with something that doesn’t exist and get out of it that way, a la toews
