Rebuilding.
Agree with all of this... I think this is our last "pass" year where management is ok missing the playoffs, but with sights of contending in 20-21. Let the kids play it out and see what you have to know where the holes are once we're ready to go.
Pavelski on a 2-3 year contract would be fine.
Even if his game starts to slip, he can slide into the 3C role, swapping with one of our young kids when they are ready for the 2C slot.

I think he'd just sign in SJ if 2-3 years at a good cap hit was realistic.

What boxes? Old? Injury prone? Expensive? On the downside of his career? Seems like the exact opposite type of player the Rangers are looking for.

OK, just saying... I think the idea "trades don't work" in creating cap space if cap comes back COULD be erroneous. A smart trade could save costs and make the team better. Works for me!
Remind me what happened with Marleau? What did he do in Toronto?
Why can't we learn from our mistakes? Or from other teams mistakes?
Like Berserk mentioned, he's the opposite of what Gorton has been looking for since taking over here.
Hmmm. Maybe youre thinking of someone else. I mean you must be. Because his GP the last 5 years starting at age 30:
82
82
81
82
75
Doesnt sound injury prone to me.
His point production has been between 65-70 points the last 3 years. He has been around there most of his career with the exception of his 78 point season in 15-16 and 79 point season in 13-14. Pretty consistent production.
If youre going to be condescending at least get your facts straight.

10 year lurker here, but it’s too exciting a time in Rangerland to sit on the sidelines any longer.
That being said, I’d be interested in Perry on a year deal. A third line of Lemieux-Andersson-Perry sounds intriguing.

Kreider as a playoff rental may be worth a lot more than he is in any other situation.
He will be playing for his next contract.
The cap came in lower than the contender probably like, at the deadline his cap hit would be prorated and the Rangers could probably retain on top.
The 2020 draft I think has more depth to the talent
Plus maybe they can combine him with any of the other pending UFAs to get a higher value return as they too will have prorated cap hits, and should the Rangers have enough retention spots, they could retain there too.
He could even decide he wants to extend upon trade increasing his value.
That also likely excludes them from spending more than they should this summer.
I think that all outweighs the Rangers feeling the sense that having a pending likely outgoing rental is difficult on the player(s)/teammates especially if the other option is to take less than he'd likely return next deadline.

You know what Marleau did in Toronto? He was an AMAZING mentor to Matthews and Marner. Regardless of how he was on the ice, that was huge for Toronto and can't be overlooked as part of his value.
Some food for thought from the athletic:
Artemis Panarin
Projected Contract: $11.2M x 8 years (Columbus only)
With Erik Karlsson off of the market, Artemi Panarin is now alone at the top of the class as this year’s most prized offering. No other player available impacts the game more than Panarin who has seen a meteoric rise to superstardom since coming over to the NHL four seasons ago. In that time he has 320 points in 322 games. Only seven other players have scored more points in that time frame. He’s incredible with the puck leading to elite zone exit and entry numbers that make him an excellent play-driver. Panarin is elite, and at 27, is still young-ish for an unrestricted free agent.
Panarin is the type of player where a big money, long-term commitment won’t lead to much regret. It’s very rare that a player of his caliber even makes it to the open market to begin with, a player that legitimately moves the needle and can elevate a team to the next level. He’s worth it.
Still, as with all UFAs, his best days are likely behind him (unless he ages better due to starting his NHL career just four years ago, which is possible), and as long the team signing him understands that there should be no issues. My model expects a three-to-four year window where Panarin provides elite value before a slow decline in his 30’s. Even then, Panarin should still be a top line player for the entirety of his contract.

I would be fine without a single UFA signing.
I just keep praying Andersson and/or Howden can take a major leap and fill that 2C role

Furthermore Pavelski, aside from his 1st year, has played 917 out of the full 950 games in his career.
He is and has been a .79 PPG player, which equals to about 64 points per season. He has been very consistent.
Again, he may not have any interest in signing here, but lets not make shit up and talk out of your ass.

And despite being an AMAZING mentor, Toronto just moved their 1st round pick to get his ass off the team.

Time goes forwards not backwards, not to mention the fact that he just suffered a concussion very recently.

So you are predicting he will be injury prone in the future? That's impressive

They also just dealt a 1st to dump Marleau’s contract.
I love Pavelski and I’d take him for 1-2 years at his age/mileage, but some team will give him 3-4 years at a high rate.
