DeAngelo's contract is a very easy buy-out, whereas Eriksson's is not. The latter has spent the season so far on the taxi squad. Rangers don't do this.

Yup, this is an awful assessment. We don't need to get 3M off the books in 20' and 1M off the books next year that bad that we would take multiyear 6M healthy scratch type contracts back

Well its not really about getting rid of Tony's salary

So what is it about? As far as I'm concerned we already got rid of him and recouped cap space. It would appear your statement couldn't be more right, it isn't about getting rid of Tony since he is already gone. It's about you unloading a bad contract

What? Im a Rangers fan. Tony needs to go because he's an a hole. People aren't going to want him so you need to take something pretty awful back in return if you want a chance to trade him, at least IMO. Nobody claimed him for free, so you're going to have to take a negative hit in some way asset-wise

Oh well this is in no way favoring us or close to fair. we would take back a 3-4M contract that is 1 year if need be. There is zero need to get anything back that would hinder us to the degree that Louie/okposo/ladd/etc would.. Taking back a brendan smith type is fine but we don't want to burn 50% of our free spending money next year
