Good luck next offseason

And how do you extend fox, kakko, Zibanejad, kravtsov, and georgiev the next off-season? Fox would get you a lot in trade though.

Just throwing this out there but you’re not cap compliant. Gotta account for hitting the upper limit of that player bonus cushion which you’re at 88,783,135z

Good luck with your cap for next season, And like BStinson said. With your bonus cushion you're over the cap.

1. Georgiev will be gone before it gets to next offseason.
2. Fox fought his way to NY, you really think he’s going anywhere? He’ll be extended this off-season.
3. You let Zib walk
4. Remaining money easily covers Kakko and Kravtsov bridges, unless they make massive jumps in which case Buch is redundant and easily movable

or, you could simply keep the zibanejad/strome/chytil spine and let the kids grow while making improvements on the back end.

Ill take a shot at strome for a 2nd, we desperately need another center.

Detroit passes, Strome is a benefactor of having lots of talent around him. We're not surrendering a 2nd round pick for Strome. He's not going to help us one iota.

You should really need to take an IQ test to post on this site.

I don’t think your logic behind fox works. He forced his way to NY when every team had to pay him the same. He’s getting 7 mill minimum and you have zero to give him.

Bottom line, this concept doesn’t work with the salary cap if you intend to keep fox. If you disagree, make an ACGM for 2022 showing how it works. It is very clear from this that it’s not possible.

I love Zib, he’s the boy Rangers jersey I have. He’s going to be 29 at the end of this contract and he’ll be asking 10+ over 6 years. I’d much rather give up 4 firsts and have prime Pettersson over those 6 years than an aging Zib.

lol you actually tried to justify this nonsense....good for you, man.

You probably have to trade Zibanejad, Georgiev and Strome

you act as if you are backed into a corner and those are the only 2 options.

Also, as if Zib is going to get $10M+ anywhere....

Anyone else take a second to have a brain explosion?

Panarin & Pettersson is preposterous

All the points

All the possession

All the panache

Pettersson might be one of the more overrated players in the league. He's good but not a top tier center
