Gorton is gonna push for a run with Kakko, Fox, and Lafreniere on their ELCs. I'm excited for the next couple weeks, should be very interesting.

Fun fact: Jeff Beukeboom to the Rangers for David Shaw was the future considerations part of the Messier for Nicholls, Rice, and Debrusk trade.
We traded future considerations for JF Berube.

I hope Marc Staal comes back as an employee and opens up a pirate themed rum bar inside MSG

I cannot see an UFA signing for the left side. They'll either be too expensive or not good enough. Smith already provides the veteran in the room.
I'm here for the kids getting their opportunities to show themselves this season. Miller will have every chance to play. Reunanen and Hajek will have a chance to make the team. Robertson is a dark horse candidate to stick around now.
This also means to me that Georgiev is being moved. Recoup the asset lost on Staal. Hank gets to ride out the last year of his deal with Shesterkin.
If it meant trading Staal and a 2nd to resolve the goalie situation where Hank stays, it had to be done.

If today has taught me anything it's that if we can find a taker for Marc Staal then there's a deal out there for Henrik Lundqvist as well.

He does but this trade is... I mean... we didn't retain ANY salary and Hank is still a better goalie than Staal is a defenseman at this point. I'm stunned that anyone took him on.
Weren't there rumors that we have a buyer for Hank but he won't waive?

Would rather keep Lundqvist one more year and trade Georgiev to recoup the asset we sent to Detroit.
Rangers don’t HAVE to do anything with the Staal money right now. They can take care of their own guys and see what’s left. I don’t think the Rangers did this to clear space for a FA like Pietrangelo (which I would not do) but I would think about Krug too if you can get him at 7m or under. The Rangers still need a LHD partner for Trouba more than anything else. With Brodin and (probably) Dunn off the board, the pool is shrinking.
Still wouldn’t rush for a 2C; need to get Mika extended before shooting the moon for that player. Fix Trouba. Fix bottom six, then once expansion draft is done and the key pieces are re-signed, then you know what you have to play with to upgrade at center.

What are the odds Detroit’s buys out Staal and the. Nyr bring him back next season? Similar to wash/avs & orpik?

I haven't heard that. Dreger said yesterday there's "no trade interest".
With Petry locked up, what's next for Habs? What will Rangers do with Lundqvist?

Always liked him. Pain in the ass but a skilled pain in the ass and a good team player. Underrated in my opinion

The "cap woes" buyout crowd have just lost their argument. If anything, I think this makes the Rangers goalie situation even more complex. Strange days indeed.

I think it makes it less complex. The obvious move now is to trade Georgiev. It would be insane to buy out Hank now.
NoQuitInNewMexico
it's okay cause it's all just the way it should be
Whatever they're doing with Lundqvist, although it looks like a crazy situation to us right now with the extra cap space, I have to imagine they've had it planned out for like a year.
