Speculation: Roster Building Thread II (2019/2020) - DeAngelo and Lemieux Left

[Lindberg Cheese]

lol it's official. Smith has a new nickname.

Mr Versatility or 2/7/12?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

It boggles my mind that people still need to have it explained to them why a Staal or Smith buyout wasn't a viable alternative to Shattenkirk, for what the Rangers needed.

One more time for auld tymes sake!!

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Wait until he finds out it was the Italians.

Bombs yes cause the rifles were never shot and only dropped once, good resale value

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I've heard he has a deal lined up with Milano Rossoblu to do a Michael Corleone and take some time off in his ancestral homeland.

My name is ADA, I’m an RFA hiding in Sicily from the CBA. There are a lot of NHL Execs would pay a lot of money for that information but then you would lose a 2RD instead of signing a player

At this point smith probably does need to be the 7th D/13th forward. Which probably puts Nieves and Andersson in Hartford to start. (I have McKegg as the 12th forward)

Count me in the group that doesn’t believe it’s going to be so easy to sign 77 and 48 to 1 year 1 million dollar contracts.

I was under the impression they don’t have much of a choice.

What is the alternative for Lemieux and DeAngelo?

 

[nyr2k2]

Only options are sign, holdout, or join a KHL or NLA team.

When players are RFA, they can go to other leagues as well. Even the ones that have a transfer agreement with the NHL.

 

[Kovalev27]

holding out which would be worst case but not unheard of. neither guy is going to Europe but I don't think lowballing these guys is going to help us come their next contracts and imo Tony's is going to cost us some serious cash

 

[GordonGecko]

And of course, ADA and more likely Buch can go this route:

They could use that as leverage, but if they went through with it they would be delaying their eventual NHL payday and effectively costing themselves a lot of future earnings because their tenure would stall and the NHL team would keep the RFA rights at the same level

The Rangers could have bought out Strome at 1/3 by June 30.

Cheap buyout.

Buyout Smith in the 2nd buyout window.

The Rangers save $6,054,834 this season. The combined cap hit would have been $1,404,166.

The Shattenkirk buyout saved $5,166,667 this season. $1,483,333 cap hit.

No crazy $6M cap hit next season with the Strome and Smith combination.

Strome is one of the names you hear and read when the subject of clearing money is mentioned. The Rangers could have just bought him at a 1/3.

Maybe the Rangers plan all along was to buyout Shattenkirk if they couldn't make a trade or two to clear out the money.

Where are the Rangers finding the cash to pay them more? $874,125.

They can hold out and ruin their seasons which will end up hurting him in their next contract.

Sign the one year qualifier for $874,125. Have terrific seasons. File for salary arbitration next July 5.

Holding out for even one day of camp is counterproductive.

The Rangers have ~$2.5m in cap space. They can afford to pay them slightly more than their qualifiers.

Wouldn't Edmonton pick up some of the buyout like we did with Spooner?

I think Shatty was two birds with one stone. Not just the money, but opening up the RD for Trouba/ADA/Fox as well.

That's like saying I can afford this $25 ribeye because I have $30 in the bank.*

* This is how I lived my 20s.

Well, its more like saying I have $30 left in my per diem and even though its only 5:30pm I'm going to spend $25 on this rib eye and hope that its enough to fill me up for the rest of the night.

Now this I hadn't considered. That's crazy

It would not have been possible, because his cap hit is too low to be eligible for a buy out in the 2nd window. See below. $2,750,000 in 2012-13 was 4.58% of the cap. In 2019, based on the salary cap being at $81,500,00 the AAV has to be at least $3,735,416

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

Little prick should take his QO and be happy. Earn it, kiddo.

No one's gonna trade for a problem.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

It’s decided.

Rib Eye for dinner.

This is why I visit these boards about 40 times a day. Well done lads.

Live for today. Who cares about tomorrow. I’ll take garlic mashed with my ribeye.

If I were to give ADA some advice, I would say look at and talk to former Ranger Dan Boyle.

Boyle was a cast-off from FLA who went on to have a near hall of fame level career. Very similar players, undersized offensive RHD. If ADA models his game around Boyle's without the puck, he's going to be a very very good player.

Boyle's contracts at first were on the underwhelming side, but he went on cash in. ADA doesn't have the leverage to sit out.... he needs to think long term... if he sits out... it will cost him more down the line.

Sign for a show me contract, earn your ice time, and when January 1st comes in. Start showing why you need to get paid. Guys who were healthy scratches multiple times aren't usually the ones cashing out.

ADA is the 12th highest scoring RFA whose still unsigned, and did it in 75% of the games as the other guys. Some of those other RFAs are going to make some major league dollars. ADA needs to look at it and say, that's just 5 months away when he can extend on Jan 1st.

Henrik took a 1 year deal at a lower cap hit due to cap constraints and cashed in. It's not unprecedented.

Does this mean he needs to get pissed off at Brooks?

He was talking about buying out strome during the first window before we signed panarin and knew we needed the cap space
