Could be an implication that they're looking at trading some guys that would free up space but it's not a sure thing yet

I like the guy, but we should try to move Claesson for a mid-round pick, if possible. Apparently there was interest at the TDL - see what he's worth.

I don't think i'd read into that too much other than we aren't buying someone out today but he isn't ruling anything out between now and the end of the 2nd window

His words (when asked if he was going to consider a buyout)

"I don't have an answer for that now but if you ask me closer to the draft I can probably answer it a little bit better."

The 2nd window isn't until August.

Maybe it doesn't mean anything, maybe he wast just avoiding the question all together but I dunno, sounds like there is something else in the works.
 
Talking about shit contracts.... Richards would be entering his final year if he wasn't bought out

He'll be getting paid until 2026 from the buyout

he's very vague with his answers intentionally...would it surprise you if his answer on friday is "ask me after the draft"

Also, June 23rd is first day to talk to upcoming UFAs. Maybe he wants a chance to talk with Panarin before deciding on any buy-outs.

Much better for sure and promising is the key word. With guys like Hajek, Rykov and Lindgren who can certainly surprise and contribute at early as this year . I know we traded two really good picks in 20 and 36 (I believe) but we have to go forward heavy with 2, Dallas pick, tb pick and our early third.
 
If Rangers really want to dump some contracts, maybe Columbus? If Columbus cant sign any UFAs they will have a lot of cap space. But they need players and they maybe want to get some picks back. Or how about a deal for Wennberg? Can he come back? Can he center Nylander if Rangers trade for him?
 
What would Nylander cost? He'd look nice as the 2C? I'd intently use Kreider to land that 2C. Whether it be draft or NHL player.

I'd also like to get a Ryan Reaves on this team ... Washington is going to be a pain in the ass to play against... need something more than just Lemieux

Hearing kessel is not being traded. Probably good for the Kreider trading camp.
Matthew Barnaby also reporting he doesn’t think anyone is trading a top 10 pick as per scouts he talked to. So looks like Kreider or even Kreider plus probably doesn’t net us a 8/9/10.
 
Kreider and Shatty at 50 + a LHD prospect not named Miller or Hajek for Nylander.

Would be more interested in seeing what a package centered around Buch can get us to. Maybe 14th from AZ. That teams needs to start winning. Gives them a young player who is a .56 PPG player. They have some team control. Add Vesey. Add the 2nd round pick.

for how cheap his QO is, I can't see us not qualifying him...even if they decide that he isn't needed, they will qualify him and then try to move him for a pick or pass him thru waivers if it came to that

I like the idea from an asset management POV – but the Rangers also tend to be very good about giving guys opportunities if they're not going to get a real shot at playing here (one of the many reasons players have a favorable opinion of the org), and if they send him down and don't play him in HFD and/or really intend him as a call up due to the absolute slew of prospects requiring PT between the two clubs, they may let him go, depending on he/his agent want.

Hm, interesting. Nice to spot that BTW, didn’t think about it when I read that.

Does Gorton envision that he can deal Shatty at the draft?
