[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Absolutely.

 

[Jabroni]

No doubt. The only questionable one is Zucc, but I think he'll be re-signed.

 

[Dalagaze]

Re-signed, yes. I don't see how they resign if they're not signed yet.


Hyphens are important

Your boy might have to take a bridge contract, but they'll all be signed.

 

[stan the caddy]

Less than 12 million? That sucks.

 

[Kane One]

Maybe the Rangers have "less than $12 million" for next year, but the cap is always 10% higher in the off-season. The Rangers could still sign them and figure out how to get under the cap later on.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Where'd he get $12M? CapGeek says we have $14,155,833M in cap space as of right now.

I came up with $13,393,333 with them still needing to sign Stepan, Hagelin, McDonagh, MZA, and Falk. Looks like we are going into next year with

Hagelin-Stepan-Nash
Kreider-Richards-Callahan
Pyatt-Brassard-MZA
Powe-Boyle-Dorsett
Asham

McDonagh-Girardi
Staal-MDZ
Moore-Stralman
Falk

Lundqvist
Biron

Why didn't they buyout Richards? Thats not a great team.

 

[Stepanformayor*]

Gagline, how much you wanna bet Stepan gets more than a two year Bridge deal??? I will promise you I will meet you on opening night, shake your hand and pay you what ever the bet is!!

 

[Stepanformayor*]

I am more questioning Pat Leonard's "almost 12 million " comment more than anything. If that is the real number IMO in does not get done.

Sooo... If Richards was bought out, insert Boyle into the third line and add a 4th line center... That makes the team better?

Okay....


Anyway, they'll all re-sign. There's really nothing to worry about. Hagelin is no more than a $2.5 million player, McDonagh and Stepan get $4 (a guess) and Zuccarello gets, at most, $2 million.

Or the Rangers have over $20 million to make the team better.

 

[Florida Ranger]

And do what? Have another significant roster turnover? Sather will blow it.

Then we're right back to having a bunch of hockey players instead of a team.

Okay....

Yeah, because we couldn't have possibly added a 3rd line center instead. We couldn't have traded for Boland. Nope. Only possibility is that we'd add a 4th line center and Boyle would play on the 3rd line.

Richards makes the team better regardless.

 

[Stepanformayor*]

Florida Ranger how can you say a 7 million dollar 3 rd line center will make us better??

 

[KreidertheGlider]

Richards makes the team better regardless.

Honestly, I would rather have Lacavalier than Richards.

Lecavalier
Brassard
Stepan
Boyle

is much better than

Stepan
Brassard
Richards
Boyle


There are other options too. Doesn't have to be Lecavalier.

I hope AV plays a rookie as our 3rd line center and moves Richards to wing.

xxxx - Stepan - xxxx
Richards- Brassard - xxxx
xxxx - Lindberg - xxxx
xxxx - Boyle - xxxx

Back on topic, yes, I think we sign all of our RFAs.

Well, thats pretty much the same team that gave Boston a harder time than the Penguins in the PO's this year. With AV this is a contender.

 

[Calad]

Isn't Moore an RFA as well?

 

[Kane One]

Isn't Moore an RFA as well?

No. He will be next year.

$762,500 in bonuses. Kreider and Moore have performance bonuses. If both players max out their bonuses,the Rangers could roll them over into 14-15. $125,000 for Moore. $637,500 for Kreids. JT Miller also have bonuses. $525,000.

 

[Calad]

No. He will be next year.

He has played in 3 straight professional seasons dating back to the 2010-11. I thought 3 years was the max as far as ELCs go?

 

[Dalagaze]

He only played 2 NHL games in 10-11, so he didn't burn the first year of his ELC.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I'll still go on record and say the RFAs will not get as much as been speculated. Look at Del Zotto, 2.5M and he was coming off a 40+ point +20 season when defensemen are in HIGH demand.

If there is one thing Sather is great at, its signing his RFAs.
