I read LA has a waivers issue with Vilardi and they may send Kupari back to the AHL because he has one more season of waiver eligibility remaining.

Gabe Vilardi will enter the conversation at some point, as well. We currently don’t have him penciled onto the roster, yet he will be out of waivers. This could be an issue that needs to be addressed over the summer (i.e. create a roster spot or trade him). One possible scenario would be to send Kupari back to Ontario, as he still has one more year of waiver exemption, to make room for Vilardi on the NHL roster.


LA doesn't need a RHD.

Rasmus would not be a happy camper.
 
I don't have to provide a solution. I'm not the GM or one the finance pros working for the NY Rangers. Those are the guys who go over plans A,B, and C when they sign a guy. I'm pretty sure they are aware the cap is real. Neither you nor I know what other plans they may have in the works also. That includes this year and in future years. It's a reason I never worry about the cap.
This. It’s a waste of time trying to navigate the cap as a fan. The front office has so many more options and so much more info. We can speculate and we know the basic parameters in which they’re operating but to take a strong stand on this stuff is absurd.
I mean, I know they’re likely not bidding on top free agents and certainly can’t afford one at the moment. But when we’re talking about Motte, I’ll just step back and wait and see.
 
Man that would suck to give up a big LHD like Robertson especially for only possibly one year of Haula. I would have to pass. I know you have to give up to get and Haula could fit well here but that is a tough one
Rangers gave Barron for 1 playoff year with Copp

Haula’s nickname around the league is “Haula-famer” because he thinks he’s a better player than he actually is. I’d pass. There’s a reason he doesn’t stick with teams. Also surprised to see he’s already 31
 
Thornton to NYR E4+

Bee waiting nearly 2 decades to say that
E4?!?

Because Brooksie is a Devils fan
No I’m he’s not

Only blemish. Sure lol. Saying the Rangers can't include Jamie Ludmark in a trade for Jagr isn't a blemish? Saying we wont sign a big name FA dman an hour before we sign him isn't a blemish? A guy safely behind his keyboard calling Kevin Lowe a coward isnt a blemish?
Kevin Slowe sucked as a Ranger- he had no business on that 94 team - he was done.

If true that's probably the smartest NHLer nickname I've heard. Impressed somebody was able to go past just putting an 'sy' at the end of his name...

I forget which player it was but they brought it up on Spittin Chiclets
 
David Krejci might come back to The NHL. Apparently, he didn't like playing for Butch Cassidy. Reportedly, he is vacationing in South Carolina. A return to the Bruins.

Erik Haula? One year remaining. $2.375M cap. He played for Turk in Vegas. His hockey fancy stats are good. Very good on draws.


Haula could be good for Kaapo. Another Finn on the Rangers.
Not NYR related but Krejci didn’t like that Cassidy never played him with Pastrnak (countryman and good friend) despite their requests to play more than a handful of games together and Cassidy’s excuse was that he didn’t want to break up the perfection line. Once Krejci left to Czechia and the Bruins picked up Haulafamer, Cassidy broke up the perfection line and stapled Pastrnak to Haula for most of the year
