Wanted to create a different offseason plan. Like a 2.0 version, not a better version just a different approach.
I wanted to create a no so expensive offseason, but an effective offseason
I traded than signed Fiala, he has to play with barzy because barzy needs an elite player by his side.
I want to keep brock lee at line 1 they work well, i added palmeri in there because he will do good on that line, it will boost his trade value to clear up cap, and hes getting old. But that is a old 1st line so idk because it is very good line but a very old line
2nd line i wanted to make a young line that will be here to stay and is very effective. That will be future 1st line. But i want them to work and produce and minutes like a top line
3rd line i wanted to trade bailey, to clear cap and get a player cheaper and somewhat better, ya its sad to see him leave but it has to be done, i replaced him with Jarnok a good 15 goal scorer who has experience. Only a 2 year deal.
4th line: wanted to replace clutter for johnston because i like johnston and martin together alot because its scary. But we just signed clutter and hes a key pker. So i traded martin because johnston is a lot better than him.
Traded for Carson Soucy because hes a cheap 27 year old defenseman, and he is good from what i heard. He has a postive plus minus on the kraken so i think that speaks volume. Could also do the same trade but for Shayne Gostisbehere who is a good offensive cheap 27 yearold defenseman.
Trade deadline if we are doing good i see us trading for another defenseman to replace salo for playoffs. But i hope salo will be good enough not to do that
I think lou wants varly back another year, and with the cap space i have created there is no reason to move him, let him ride out his contract, it will be very beneficial for our playoff run and the broviet union.
I really like this offseason it isn't an expensive offseason but it is a very benefical offseason and leaves 4 mil in cap for next season.
Idk look at some of the guys the rangers have in their top 9 lmao
Everyone in the Rangers top 9 is better than Bailey at even strength - also the rangers are a mediocre team getting one the best goaltending performances in the cap era.
