That the Rangers have no interest in cap dumps

Idk if a bottom pair defenseman @1.25 for 1 year is exactly a cap dump.

I wouldn't call Russell a cap dump, he would probably play 40 games in a 6-7th dman role with the NYR and if they made playoffs would be in every game.

Stop trading picks like this. With most of the big pieces in place, picks will become even more important over the next three or four years to fill in roster spots with low cost young players. I agree that a goaltending solution must be found but I can't see it being through trading away picks. More likely a hockey trade of fairly equal value or a trade deadline deal if things aren't going according to plan.

That asking price was a 2nd.
