Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXVII

[PuckLuck3043]

For just $7,650,000 more for 6 more years, we could have had Pietrangelo instead of JMFJ smh

Thats all? Pffff

 

[bl02]

IDK man Schmidt has 6 million per for another 5 years. I Guess it would all depend what we give up and what we would get for ADA. Obviously he will block one of Miller/Robertson/Jones. Maybe two. But if people feel he is a top pairing dman for sure than 6 million isn't bad.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

If that’s true, I’d inquire about Reaves and McNabb, solve Vegas’ issues and solve the Rangers’

I mean theoretically they could take those two and Schmidt (+$10.25MM in cap). ADA would go which would remove his assumed $5.5MM hit. Bitetto, Blackwell and PDG would go to the AHL, which frees up $2.1, so between ADA and those 3 that's $7.6. $3.8MM in space ($4.8MM if you include the $1MM held in reserve to operate during the year). Thats $11.4MM.

They would have another $800k in space.

Kreider - Zbad - Buch
Panarin - Strome - Kakko
Laff - Chytil - Gauthier
Lemiuex - Howden - Reeves
Rooney

Schmidt - Trouba
Lindgren - Fox
Johnson - McNabb
Smith

Shesh
Geo

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

He’s 29 already and sigh for 5 more seasons IIRC. Seems like classic bad Rangers dman contract in the near future. I’d stay way.

Not at all. He just turned 29. Contract takes him to 34.

Holy Amnesty Buyout Batman! That's definitely something GM and KM will have to clean up in 3-4 years.

@haveandare Vegas is an underrated city from what I've heard. People who go there and stay out of the casino areas love it.

Yeah I enjoyed it more than I expected to without being into all that. Good food around, cool quirky small businesses once you get out of the downtown, lots of interesting folks. I don’t think it’s a terrible city or anything like that, but if you have a choice of anywhere it’s a surprising choice imo - so much of the downtown is consumed with the tourist and casino stuff, a lot moreso than other cities imo

 

[Crease]

TEAM: With you the club will contend for the Cup the next 3 years.

UFA: Okay offer me a 7 year contract in which the first 3 seasons are reasonable and the last 4 are atrocious.

TEAM: *whispers* Damn it.

TEAM: Okay you've got yourself a deal.

 

[GAGLine]

So the Rangers will have $4.8MM in space with 22 players signed if Geo, ADA, Lemiuex and Strome cost $14MM combined.

This includes Bitetto, PDG, Rooney and Blackwell (based off cap friendly)

No, they won't. That number has to be reduced by the 3.95 mil in bonus penalties.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

No, they won't. That number has to be reduced by the 3.95 mil in bonus penalties.

Is the number on cap friendly including or not including the penalty? It looks like it's including it, they have $18.8MM in space currently.

Edit: I did the math and your right, they have $15MM in space taking the overage into consideration.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I think Vegas wound up bidding against themselves with this contract. Did McFee forgot no state tax in Nevada? Easily could have shave $1.0-$1.2m and still beat any competing offers on after-tax basis in this market.

I’m willing to bet that Columbus has a fat 9 mil contract lined up for him.

 

[duhmetreE]

 

[rangers1314]

Schmidt to Van for a 3rd

 

[Kovalev27]

how is this the best they can get?!

 

[kovazub94]

You could be right though I haven’t heard Columbus mentioned but it is just might be on me.

 

[Tob]

these MF prices are so f***ing weird yo

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

how is this the best they can get?!

$$$$$$$$$

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

how is this the best they can get?!

Thts what happens when you position yourself to be over the OFFSEASON cap

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Hell of a deal for Vancouver man

I'd take for Schmidt for that price

 

[Zats Muccarello]

the prices this offseason are f***ed

 

[NYR Viper]

That’s a disgustingly awful deal for Vegas

 

[RGY]

That’s a disgustingly awful deal for Vegas

I think for them they only cared about the cap space. In it to win it right now.

 

[Tob]

This, you know, feels like what people were saying about the Hall for Larsson deal. GMs saying we didn't even know Hall was available kind of a thing. Surely if you went around the league and asked around 30 teams you'd get a better price than that.

 

[bobbop]

But do the Rangers have the money?

For a player like Schmidt, I think they could find the difference between his salary and what DeAngelo would get.

All a moot point...Schmidt going to Vancouver.

 

[Avery16]

Rangers fans will trade their own kids already making it for older, more-expensive and inferior players established in other cities.

Plus, many people here still haven't figured out how the cap works. Its only been 15 years now.

 

[duhmetreE]

such a weird off-season

fitting none the less

 

[bobbop]

That trade will not be popular in the Vegas locker room. Schmidt was the de facto captain of the team.
