No way Chytil is on the 4th line, at the worst case scenario he is a winger at the 3rd line with Howden at center. This would make me very upset btw.

I'm still holding out hope for adding a 2C or LD that is better than what we have and fits the rebuild timeline.
The contract negotiations, the trade deals to set up for this offseason, the coaching staff arrangement, the expansion draft preparation, and the future projection/plan all has been great so far.

That isn't how it works when they play the same position thoughWe need our #1 draft on the top lines - ideally with Panarin.
I’m still seeing like 10 mil in cap space. Not sure what all the fear mongering is about with bonus penalties etc. that’s with the performance penalties in there.
only two guys not signed are Strome and Lemieux and we are trying to break up with Strome desperately

I don't understand.
Laf, Kreider, and Panarin all have pretty much played exclusively LW in their careers
that is not with the bonus overage...if you add up the salaries, bonuses and buyouts that 'space' doesn't include the bonus overage
Don’t the bonus penalties hit for next season’s cap? This is something I am not sure of, but how could that cap space be held hostage for this season when the bonuses tiers may or may not be hit. And if it were to show up on next season’s cap then we have a lot of money coming off the books next season.
Either way I think they still can manage to add at least one UFA vet.
Laf - Zib - Buch
Panarin - Strome - Kakko
Kreider - chytil - Kravstov
And it depends on player performance, but we could swap Strome with Chytil. The top 3 lines are very skilled and dangerous.
you can go over the cap by 7.5% of the cap with bonuses...the rangers potential bonuses exceed that by $3.95 mil. so day 1 you have to be under by that amount to be complaint...but its just a 1 day issue. the majority of the bonuses aren't going to be earned so actually exceeding the 7.5% is unlikely...but keep in mind that carrying it over creates dead space in the future year

I think I am the only one, but I think by far the best center on the roster for Lafreniere is Strome (if he stays on the roster). I am not putting Lafreniere with Chytil if I can avoid it.

what am I looking at here? The penalties are included this says
how is the best center at anything on the roster not Mika?

they lied lol...its very misleading. they called it out but if you get out the calculator and add up the salaries for a projected 21-22 man roster plus bonuses and buyouts, its not part of the remaining space they listed.
Thanks for explaining. Makes sense. Just sucks a rebuilding team gets penalized for it in a way and then it handcuffs them for adding another body or two.

I’m not rushing Lafreniere into Top 6, certainly not Top 3. He will make his way onto their in time. If he earns it, sure. This isn’t about Mika.
So they have 6 million ?
It’s not a guarantee all bonuses would never hurt but I’d move Smith even if it saves just 2 million ... retail 1 mil
The presentation on Capfriendly isn’t very good. It’s confusing at first glance. It identifies the bonus penalty but it doesn’t actually factor it in. The projected cap space doesn’t account for the penalty - it just gives the difference between the current cap hit and the total cap without factoring in the penalty.
