Not sure if someone can explain this...but would it be more convenient to assign Nemeth to the minors? I believe we'd save slightly less on the cap, but long term wouldnt it be more beneficial?

Yes which is why a buyout won’t happen

that's his buyout hit.
you can only bury $900k in the minors so he's cap hit for the next two season if we did it that way would be $1.6m each season.
I think I'd be in the 'just get rid of the cap hit as early as possible' camp

EDIt - or better yet go with 31's option 2

You can bury more than 900 k now

If this was able to fit under the cap, what do you all think:

Kreider-Zibanejad-Lafreniere
Panarin-Malkin-Kravtsov
Blais-Chytil-Kaako
Motte-Goodrow-Hornqvist
Reaves

Miller-Fox
Jones-Trouba
Lindgren-Schneider
Braun

Shesty
Lindgren

Malkin at 3 years for $6m per season
Motte at 4 years at $1.85m per season
Hornqvist at 2 years at $1m per season

I think this would fit…
Perfect but enough with the shuffling of the defense. Lindgren will never play 3rd pair as long as he’s a Ranger, nor should he.

Lindgren-Fox have been best friends forever and D partners their entire NHL career.

Miller has only played with Trouba since he’s been in the NHL.

It’d be like rolling Panarin-Mika and Kreider-Strome for the hell of it

no question Zibs strong on defense.
Chytil, I would consider throwing PK time at him and just let him learn. Buchnevich came out of nowhere and became a phenomenal killer. A lot of players just need a chance.
You don't just put a player on PK and hope they learn. No coach is that dumb. They can tell from practice as well as skill set if the player can do it. Our PK was strong last year and got stronger once we added Mott and Copp.
 
Love the article by LB tonite

He put the entire Rangers brass on blast ….

One cup 80 years

Stop taking bows for a “ nice run “
Oh yeah the Rangers brass is really threatened by Larry Brooks who is nearing retirement. Yeah this brass, that hasn’t been around for the whole 80 years spanning different eras of hockey and evolution of the business and industry. They should totally just react and start abandoning the process.

I'm sure Drury accepts full responsibility for the large cup droughts...

Good to know. Apparently it's 2022-23: $750,000 + $375,000 = $1,125,000 now (taken from CapFriendly)
 
I said months ago nemeth would get bought out and the board capoligists came after me about it. His buyout is cheap, manageable, and makes sense given our current situation.

I would be shocked if they assign him to the AHL after one season here. He isn't redden, I don't think nyr will death sentence his career after year 1 of a contract. Not a good look for Drury to other mid tier guys around the league looking to come here on multi year deals to bury guys in the ahl

I would hope Chytil can grow defensively. Do not think he would be anyone we would lean on next season.

Zibs is solid. He should not be 'the guy' though. He looks better than he is with Strome and Chytil in contrast.
 
Huge, gigantic, supermassive black hole sized no thank you to Malkin. F that guy. I'd rather miss the playoffs than watch that derp faced pile of dog feces play in a Rangers uniform. That's putting how I feel about him mildly.
I mean listen I get it bro but at the same time I'm willing to bet you'd be the first person to gush over him if he put on the Rangers sweater and lined up next to Artemi

I can't believe they can't move him somewhere, add a 6th round pick and send him to Arizona ffs
 
Brooks is such a pigeon for the Rangers, his whole spiel about Chytil was about making the case that Winnipeg should really want him instead of Kakko.
