Bring him in for a few preseason games. If he can handle being the back up then maybe it opens the door to Georgiev being moved for a 2nd and some goon type player who isn’t really a goon but he’s big, strong, handsome young lad that lady-ranger fans would drool over.

I honestly think outside of a change in 2C (maybe), the Rangers are done unless something else pops up. They got their big vet LD, they got some grinders in Goodrow and Bilas. All thats left would be an upgrade at center if its out there.

Trade Georgiev, sign Hank to 1 year 1.5m.
Dolan comes out at press conference to re-introduce Hank and says he never wanted to buy out Hank. My conspiracy theory with his displeasure with Gorton and JD being born out of his being forced to buyout Hank is confirmed. I take a bow. Thank you.

Sounds like indigestion
another power foward in the top 6. still too soft and too much finesse in the top 6.

NYR will have like 8 million in cap space this season if we do nothing else.
That's a pretty big waste of an asset.

I dont disagree, but they dont want to pay the cost for Eichel, so who else is out there worth taking away from the kids? I mean we traded Buch to play the kids, why would we sign another winger?, defense is pretty much set, so why use the cap?

If you don't want DeAngelo to stay in the division, you can act now!

Michael Douglas was once asked why he wanted to break up Blue Star Airlines. His reply? Because it's breakable!
Why use the cap? Because it's usable.

Take on Koskinen for a 2nd at the end of the summer if nothing else presents itself.

Right. Getting Goodrow and Blais only puts a band-aid on the problem. Sure, it's nice that there's some sandpaper in the bottom 6 now, but top 6 needs to play in traffic and along the boards for real success. Why does Panarin love Strome so much? Because he's E/W and Strome obliges him. But he's Panarin, so he's special. Which means it's going to have to be others who play grittier.

Things always work out fine for the Avs. Landeskog will end up signing with them 6 years x $4m. He’ll leave enough room to fit Ovechkin, Hamilton, and Suter who’ll take cut rate Cup Chaser deals.

I dont see any of the bigger FAs like Landeskog (obv not), Coleman, or any of that nature signing a 1/2 year deal, so if you're gonna use the cap you're looking at 3-5 year deals and I just dont see anyone worth it in FA for that. Unless Drury has another trade or trades lined up (lord help us) there's just nothing there to use it on.
You can use it during the season too if something pops up, be it before or at the TDL

can the Rangers sign a player for like 10m, trade him for 50% retained and get a 1st round pick? Maybe a team is only offering that player like 9m. We tell the player to do a sign and trade and he gets 10m but that team only counts for 5m on the cap.
This is for a 1 year contract only.
