Exactly!

That's not true. Teams will likely pass over him on waivers because a sudden 4.5 mil to add isn't exactly easy to get under the cap. If you can offload cap to get him though, he's got value. NYR won't take a bad contract back for him, but no one is going to give up too much for him.

i get the sense he will be shipped off with a sweetener for a buyout so the rangers dont have to

indeed
it had to be said

I don't think that New York would do this unless they are certain that Seattle would take Johnson

Tbh it’s probably just be better to dump Johnson to Seattle

Ha... read dredger for once the whole league wants him

Yeah well no freaking way Tampa is taking DeAngelo back, Deangelo didn't want to play in Tampa. And Tampa didn't like his attitude. he's a locker room cancer.

Actually think this is sneaky good for tampa. Terminate the contract and wind up saving 5 mill.

What?

Teams like Detroit, Ottawa, LA all have enough cap space to take him but didn't.

Or contract termination

Johnson would be useful to them

Tampa would have to pay a first to dump Johnson. Better off getting DeAngelo

dreger said theres league wide interest in him. I'm not saying he's gonna get a big return but it wont be us adding a pick or us taking a bad contract back

Not the whole league but many teams are interested. Probably means that teams aren't paying much or anything at all to try to get him

Yes he would, but they have a lot of young guys who will want to get paid before his contract is over. Maybe they would keep him for 2 or 3 years, but I doubt it

Maybe they can package him and Strome to Seattle

Bahahahhahahahhaha. You really think that? You really think that no one picked him off waivers, but they’re not going to have to add a pick or take back a contract? Oh my goodness, you’re precious.

I saw what dreger said. Unless he said something further, you’re horribly misrepresenting his comments.

yea like I said it won't be a big return but def won't be us paying to get rid of him.

buddy there is legit no reason for us to trade him to someone with a pick when his buyout cost nothing... hell prob get back a 4th half retained. And just for the record only 5 teams could pick him up will on waivers for free bc of his contract. so before you act like you know everything why don't you read up

Maybe, but then they need Chytil to develop. I love the idea as a Tampa fan. Just saying i doubt that NYR would like it

They’re asking the rangers to take back a dumpster fire of a contract so that they can be the lucky ones to terminate deangelos contract.

if they were going to terminate his contract i think they probably just wouldve, tbh idk if they woud have the grouds to do that

Again, why waste 4 mil in cap when you can move assets back to use less cap space, especially when it's at a premium like this year?
