Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXX: Cue Europe

Trade with retention >>>>> buy out. Cap savings + asset(s) + you know not having to buy out arguably the best goalie to ever put on a Rangers sweater.

let's just wait until Hank announces he wants to be on a playoff team. hopefully he thought about that this past weekend

if he doesn’t waive his NTC and sticks to being a Ranger (smh)

 

[RangersFan1994]

would the Avalanche be interested in someone like Jesper Fast as a bottom 6 player??

 

[NYSPORTS]

That's what's paid to Lundqvist (on the base salary, not the cap hit), but the calculation for the cap hit is more complicated.

around the net, this is what I got

“A buyout is pretty simple – he would be $5.5 million on the books next season and then $1.5 million the season after.”

so I guess I would move him

I mean, has this ever happened? Kreider is a smart dude and kind of odd, maybe he’d be cool with doing the team a solid, but I feel like it’s a bigger solid than people realize. You’re asking him to temporarily move, fit in with a new team with new people, and then compete during the grind of the playoffs (which he won’t get paid for,) just to get the team a draft pick.

To be fair - at the time, it was insane for Shattenkirk to agree to four years. But it happened.

 

[Kovalev27]

That was Cal Foote not Nolan Foote

we couldn’t have gotten Steve Foote if we asked nicely

 

[Ola]

Many moons ago Keith Tkachuk did.

I forgot his name, but didn’t that Arizona center that was traded to Chicago return to Arizona? French name.

Vermette

And yes

NVM, that effin know it all @Thirty One beat me to it.

 

[LORDE]

I'd really like to hear a Kreider and Geo to the Avs for one spectacular item.

Like Cale Makar spectacular

Would you be satisfied with Byram OR newhook alone, nothing else added.

 

[haohmaru]

So is Andersson going by the deadline or more likely the draft?

This summer. I don't think he's going anywhere unless he's a sweetener in a bigger deal.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Missed opportunity to use Big Foote.

Get out.

I'd be so satisfied that I would never complain about anything ever again.

Even Staal's useless ass.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Put me on that list as well. Either of those players can step in next year and fill a need. Forget the pick.

 

[Ola]

Colorado has very little money coming of the books and Burakovsky and Zadorov will get raises. Jost is a RFA. After next season Landeskog is a UFA and Makar a RFA.

I wonder if they feel that they have the cap space to take on someone like Kreider long-term and/or Hank for another year.

 

[Ola]

I would add to Hank and Kreider @50% to get Newhook.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

If Henrik and Kreider were going to Colorado the prospect better have a last name starting with "B" or "N"

You'd move them for Shane Bowers?!?

Jost isn’t going to break the bank. He’s got 5 goals in like 54 games this season, Ouch!

 

[NYSPORTS]

What do you guys think it will take to get the rights to Jessie puljujarvi?

 

[DutchShamrock]

To be fair - at the time, it was insane for Shattenkirk to agree to four years. But it happened.

If Kreider said to his agent, "I'm thinking of going short term to be a team player for the rangers", exhibit A from the agent is Shattenkirk and why that is out of the question. Kreider can make his choice, but that loyalty might not be a 2 way street. Shattenkirk could have gotten another 3 years at $6.5m. I doubt he makes that up in the rest of playing days.

My intention isn't to be preachy, and you found an example when requested during a conversation. I'm just working through it in my head. CK had a front row seat to business in the NHL.

From Hanks image POV, retirement > buy-out. If Hank retires after the signing bonus is paid — how much money does he loses vs a buy-out? He just gets 2/3 of 4.5m with a buyout right. So it’s 1.5m vs 3m.

I'm not contract law specialist but he would have to pay that $1MM bonus back if he retired after receiving on July 1st or that $1MM would count against the cap if the Rangers chose to let him keep it.

I believe his actual salary is $4.5MM next year so he'd be walking away from $3.5MM.
