hard pass on columbus trade, would love panarin but tampa is high on volkov and just signed miller who has great chemistry with stammer and kuch, and we would have to move out johnson and palat to fit in point, vasy and sergy

For the rangers to absorb 10.2 million in cap per year for this year and next, and killorns 4.4-4.5 for an additional 3 years on top of that will cost you more.
Essentially you are having the rangers pay
10.2*2yrs = 20.4
4.45-*3 = 13.35
20.4+13.35 = 33.75 million for two players that aren't good while allowing tampa to build a super team with panarin as well (who the rangers want also).
Not to mention, you have namestnikov going back to tampa (who is better than both of those players combined and has more trade value than those two combined)

You would have to overpay. Rangers would want Foote, Raddysh and a 1st rounder if you want to get back namestnikov and get rid of those cap dumps

Love your moves, but consider that Gourde's big contract will start next year, so you'll get very closer to the cap.

Yes Ward will leave (UFA) and you'll probably lose one or two high salary dman (Girardi, McDonagh, Stralman and Coburn are UFA at the end of the current season), but you will have to sign Kucherov around 8-9 millions, and Point around 5millions+. In 2 years, Cirelli and Joseph are also going to be paid much higher....

In resume I love your moves, but if Tampa drop the cup with all those moves, they'll be in a situation very similar to Leafs with all the players that'll ask much higher contracts.

Rangers arent taking Killorn.
Plus, they potentially have your first round pick... so that would mean this would be a second rd pick - which means its a bad return for the Rangers for taking on all that salary.

Looks like a great team however Kuch, Pann, Gourde, Point raises kick in next year totalling about 17 million, you have less than 6 mill in space. We win the cut then break up the team? two stars for creativity.

Killorn is good.

Then TB shouldnt have issue moving him to 1 of 29 other teams in the league.
