Panarin traded for Wilson and a second.
Goodrow traded to Chicago for our 23 second back.
$3M in cap space to account for contracts I have underestimated.

It would not be hard to fill a 90 point void with 11.6 million in cap space to do it. The Kids alone playing more would make up a good bit of the difference. Youre right that we're stuck with him though
I don’t see the big deal about seeing former players going on to win a cup. Happens all the time. Some people just beating themselves up for no reason. We have enough to worry about with our own team.
Right now will just enjoy the SCF, and then get ready for the draft which I’m very excited about, and then Free agency, which will be fun. Not a big FA summer, but still should be interesting. Rangers still have some things to resolved like a head coach, RFA signings, and if we make any other changes. So have that to look forward to.
Then the dog days of summer will be upon us, time to pop in that new Zelda and Final Fantasy, lol.

I don’t think the angst is so much that it’s ex players winning, it’s that we made bad trades to rid ourselves of those players but then it turned out they have value.

It's funny that people are all riled up about Marc Staal and Brett Howden like they werent demanding the Rangers get rid of them. Staal in particular gave a lot to this organization but he was a pariah before he left because Sather offered him a bad contract that he accepted. I will be happy when he wins the Cup

Bertuzzi has the makings of someone that will get paid this summer and will immediately become an albatross
Thank god the Rangers don’t have the space to make that mistake

Someone will see what he did with Boston on that star studded power play and ignore the extensive injury history.

I’m No Longer Here
Love the player or maybe more accurately the type of player he is but I could see him getting hurt often and sitting out stretches every year which would scare me off a big money big term deal
Like who? Who are these former rangers who have had massive impacts for their team? Fast is the guy who had the biggest one and he wanted to leave and did so via UFA.
Howden has done some things so I guess people will want to point to him but aside from that I'm not seeing it. Staal has been horrendous.
Duclair? Staal has been brutal, so many give seats but I will say he was always a trooper when he was a nyr and would be happy for him to win it.
Sure Duke (who has been pretty great, I've been very impressed with him) as well but that trade was almost 10 years ago and its not like they gave him away.

Duclair went through 4 teams before he came a consistent regular on one team, I have a really hard time blaming NYR on that.
Right it was also a pretty good deal, just AV and his braindamage had to keep trotting Staal in the top 4 and he got like no minutes.

That's possible. I think he is looking for a contender where he can actually play meaningful hockey.
I still think he gets something like 4-5 years at sub $5m. That's a good contract for a player with his skill-set, especially when you consider the cap increase coming soon.

I cant see why it wouldnt considering he has barely shown up for the playoffs the 3 times we managed to make it with him. The only time in his career he ever played well in a playoff series was against TB when all the pressure was on them.

I meant 3 seasons, but yeah in 30 games the only memorable thing he's done was score that overtime goal against Pittsburgh when the entire arena was begging him to shoot for 30 seconds before he actually pulled the trigger. It was similar to doing none of the hard work and putting his name the biggest on the project right before it got turned in.

I would think most people would be happy for staal. He was a warrior here for us. He was great until the eye injury and honestly given the fact he can basically see out of one eye he did an amazing job here. He was constantly asked to do too much though. Duclair is just another reminder of the orgs unwillingness to commit to young players and develop them. Kids with stand out skills like duke (especially that skating and athleticism) really are brutal to toss aside like nothing.
He's going to be 32 in October when the season starts...

Shooting that puck was literally the last thing he wanted to do. He would have rather fought Tom Wilson then shoot that puck. Wish he would take the f***ing hint...

I think it’s mostly about the fact we had to pay a premium asset to dump him yet our bottom pairing has not really been any better.

Indeed it was.
I was sitting behind the Penguins net at ice level for that game and that's exactly what happened. The entire stadium was screaming shoot because there were 3 bodies in front of Jarry. Panarin even said after the game that he heard the fans and listened lol

Pass on Bertuzzi. On the surface he seems like a great choice, but he is injured a lot. Regardless of his next contract. He just misses a lot of games.
I think we have more than enough potential Bertuzzi-types coming up. Cuylle, Berard, Trivigno (still has a shot. He had a good second half and playoffs), Othmann, Sykora. I don't think there is any need to spend a bunch of money on this type when we have younger options already in the system.
Also, we need to keep giving shots to the young players coming up cause thats how you keep up morale. Can't keep burying them with free agents.
