So this works:

Signings:
Kaako- 2 years @ $2.3m
Stastny - 2 years @ $3m
Raffl - 2 years @ $1.25m
Hornqvist - 2 years @ $1m
C Lindgren - 2 years @ $1.1m
G Sparks - 2 years @ $1m

Demote Nemeth + Sparks to Hartford

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kravtsov
Panarin-Stastny-Blais
Lafreniere-Chytil-Kaako
Raffl-Goodrow-Hornqvist
Hunt, Reaves

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Jones-Schneider

Shesty
Lindgren

~$1.6m in cap space
 
BTW EvolvingHockey has some interesting values....

Kakko - 2 years @ $1.86M per
Stastny - 1 year @ $3.4M
Malkin - 1 year @ $2.95M per
Roy - 3 years @ $3M per
Motte - 4 years @ $2.9M per
Marchment - 4 years @ $2.5M per
Mikheyev - 6 years @ $5M per

I can't see that KK gets anything below 2. Motte at that term and aav is a no
 
BTW those that are sleeping on Stastny.... I too was like you last year... joked about it when @Fitzy suggested it

LAST SEASON

PAST 3 YEARS

IMO at this point, Stastny is a must-sign


If you can get Stastny on a one year deal I'd be all over it.

If he wants two years, it gets a little trickier with the Miller and Lafreniere situation. But still possible, and still preferable to giving a 2C a 6-7 year term.

This is all okay but Stastny would probably go either 1x5 or 2 x 3.75 I'd estimate.

It's also not quite enough defensive depth- I'd lose either Raffl or Hornqvist, whichever you'd prefer, and replace them with a new 7D.

I was thinking about this as well. They would have Nemeth and Tinordi in Hartford, on top of Robertson and maybe Lundkvist here to call up at any time.

I'd almost push for Stastny on a 2 year deal as long as it doesn't carry a NMC

Maybe this lowers what the Rangers offer for Kane, like when Nash forced his way here.

I dont want any part of this, this is a throwback deal and the same damn thing that has cursed the Leafs when they got Taveres. We trade Kakko for Kane, then realize that next year we need Kakko so then we have to either resign Kane or go find another Kakko neither option of which is that appealing. Can we please stop chasing guys past their primes.

For sure.

I think Nemeth gets traded soon. Rather have Braun back at around the 1 million mark. He's more comfortable playing either side.

If NYR were to go in on Kane it would probably be with the intention of re-signing him. Doing so would in all likelihood mean Trouba departs next offseason.

Not gonna go into my perspective on continuing to load up salary on skill wingers, especially after we just jettisoned Buchnevich.

There are skilled wingers.....and then there is PATRICK KANE.

And would be possibly dumping a young winger to make it worse. I dont think we need more scoring wingers, we're adding Kravtsov and as well Blais to this lineup. Find a center ffs, one we don't have to trade for and lets go

I don't think he gets that much on a 1 year deal. No contending team can afford it and at this point of his career, you'd think he wants to win.
 
Rangers going to announce who got a QO anytime soon? Rick Dhaliwal mentioned Ronning didn't get his, so they've clearly submitted them already.

Not many of the eligible RFAs were worth keeping this year besides Gettinger and Kakko. I'm going to guess they submit QOs for Richards and Rueschoff at F and probably Hajek on D.

"We've got these 2 guys who've done jack shit in the NHL, we don't need Patrick Kane".

Look I'm not saying they should offer the farm to get him, but good christ the lack of respect people around here are giving Kane is mind blowing. We don't need Kane because we have Sammy Blais. Man alive.

I don't want to avoid Kane because we have Sammy Blais.

I want to avoid Kane because I think he kind of sucks, couldn't point to the defensive zone on a diagram, and hasn't made enough of an effort to break a sweat since 2016.
