Rumor: Trade Rumour Thread I: Post-Lockout Madness

The Rangers will have to likely cut salary next year when the cap goes down.

Nice to see that doesnt stop people from fawning over Perry and Getzlaf.
 
Don't want Connolly. He doesn't fit here. Didn't like him on the sabres, don't like him on the leafs, wouldn't like him on the Rangers.

That's without raises to McDonagh, Stepan and Hagelin. There's still some room, but it isn't $10M. Also take into account we'll likely re-sign some guys in advance of the 2014 summer, when half of the team becomes UFA (Gaborik, Callahan, Girardi, Lundqvist, etc).

Fill me in on your math, please. I hope the league office uses it next year.

The cap is going down in conjunction with any savings we'd see from the Redden buy-out next season. Then theres the raises for a number of young players coming off ELC's.

I have no idea where you reached $10M in cap space.

$10M doesn't include raises to the RFAs, nor does it include the cost of replacing the UFAs that the number assumes will walk. So factor in raises to Stepan, McDonagh and Hagelin, plus the cost of replacing Halpern, Eminger, Segal and Gilroy.

Gotcha.

Ok, so we can go after Getzlaf or Perry as long as we field a 17 man roster.
 
No need for Getzlaf/Perry.

They have their top-6 set. Why add MORE high salary? It'll become a team of mercenaries again if we go after EVERY high profile FA.
 
I for one am actually very satisfied with this roster. I guess we'll see how things are going around the trade deadline but I certainly think we have enough big names and top end talent.
 
Just spit-balling here, but could the Rangers conceivably trade Gaborik at years end and sign/trade for a slightly less paid player and be okay moving forward?
 
i was clear, we're fine WITHOUT ADDING ANYONE

I don't know how much clearer i can get now.

we've got 10 mil to get all our RFA ducks in a row.

I dont want us to go after Perry, Getzlaf, etc.

I like this team. I dont want another superstar, i want us to continue. My "plan" has always been to get 3 elite offensive players to supplement the...well...supplemental talent we have.

we've done that. I have zero desire for this team to add anyone else of consequence. 10 mil to keep the guys we have, and go to war. Give this team a few cracks at a cup.

Yes. To me it depends on how Hagelin and Kreider are doing offensively. But I don't think it's inconceivable, I really like Gaborik though.

Like Conolly :sarcasm:

Not to keen on this idea, not sure who you'd pay less for and be "okay". What is "okay", is it okay like Winnipeg okay, or Phoenix okay, or Ottawa okay? Because I'd rather be like Pittsburgh, Boston, Philly, NYR okay, or should I say contender.
 
I love when people talk about trading a guy who has scored 40 goals twice out the 3 seasons he played here, under a defensive system.

That makes it seem a little more daunting than it is - we don't need to sign/replace 7 guys. To be clear, we actually have a little over $10.5MM in space and the only things we NEED to do are:
- Re-sign Stepan
- Re-sign McDonagh
- Re-sign Hagelin
- Replace one fourth line forward

That gets you to a 20 man roster, with a full complement of forwards, D and goalies. If past history is any indication, Torts won't want much more - maybe a 7th D. Easily done if you sign the RFAs to bridge contracts. Tighter if one of them (*cough* McDonagh) gets a longer term deal, but you should still be able to squeeze it in.

Of course, this is before factoring in any potential trades.

As in be able to fit it under the cap.

It could be possible that Getzlaf makes less money per season on a longer deal with the drop in cap space next off-season. Or Iginla on a shorter deal. I am not saying I am in favor of doing it, just for conversations sake, would it be possible.

I love hearing what you love. So touche.

If they aren't even thinking about re-signing him, it may be a better option to maximize an asset and bring in someone on a shorter term deal. That's all.

And I am not even saying whether or not I am in favor of it, but it can, at the very least, be discussed.

I'd re-sign the guy. perennial 40 goal scorers don't grown on trees.
 
Why wouldn't we be thinking about resigning one of the elite offensive scoring fwd's currently playing in the NHL? That wouldn't be smart IMO
 
Would you re-sign him if he was looking for another 5 year contract? I'd re-sign Gaborik on a ~5-6 million dollar deal for 3 more years. If he wants more than that in terms of dollars or years I would be FAR more hesitant.
 
If the price is right, there's no reason NOT to bring back Gabby.

Even if he becomes a 55-60~ point second liner at the end, he still would bring a dynamic to the team that would be missed if he was gone. All depends if the money is right.

Agreed, I would hope Gaborik's desire to win, would be an overwhelming factor in him signing a deal that benefits both parties. But we all know how that goes, add to that the fact it could be his final contract could complicate things...
