Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Despite his tremendous playoff performance, mgmt knows they need to cut bait to get some future cap flexibility. Goodrow buyout has biggest hit in 26-27 season. Should not be that big of a deal - biggest contracts (Panarin & Trouba) are off the books that year. Also expected continual cap growth (say 75% of next year's bump year over year) will help cover it. NOTE: I am open to any trade suggestions in lieu of a buyout. I'm thinking a trade is going to require at least 25% retention and a decent draft pick sweetener

Chytil is back next year - move to LW will suit him better due to the previous injuries. Would like to try him 1st on RW with Zib and Kreider but will give the first crack to Kakko. If Chytil stays healthy and plays well, do the Rangers look to deal him for a top 6 RW if/when Kakko fails again

Kakko was re-signed. I think he is going to get dealt - the signing can make it easier to facilitate a deal as the acquiring team now has the cost certainty as opposed to having to deal with RFA arbitration.

Have a 23-player roster with flexibility to accrue cap space during the year - paper transaction Othmann, Edstrom, and Rempe throughout the year (same thing every other team in the NHL has figured out - Drury musted have been absent that day)

For all signings, I used contract projection data from AFP Analytics - rounded $ values as needed
