Ottawa keep their picks, they have Forsberg, Gustavsson, and Murray

Seems to be an expensive 3rd/4th/5th goalie for Ottawa.

Ottawa doesn’t need goaltenders, but you can probably get that return from someone who does.

Meanwhile Motte wants at least $2M.

Value is there for Gaultier though we have a heap of guys that play that bottom 6 role. More just clogs up pipeline.

What follows may come across as nitpicking. That would be a waste of time. However, because the Rangers CAP situation is so precarious, I felt it necessary to be as specific as possible. ----- Regarding the final roster, I've come with similar players when going for a minimalist change approach. No objections there. No to the details ------- Free Agent Signings: I have him at $2.25M, $2M would be better. I have Copp at $5.5M - check . Motte's a little low I have him at 1.8M, $2M at the most for 4 years. If he wants more, Sayonara. I have Ryan's brother Charlie at #2 G for $800K for 2 years. I'd a little higher to get him. I think Charlie is a diamond in the rough. He he performs as I anticipate he will, additional $s will be due. If Charlie is anything like his younger brother, he should fit right in. Julien's a cheap plug the holes in pinch player. I suspect he won't be going anywhere. I have it at Nemeth and a fourth round pick to anyone who will bite. Will likely be a team that needs to make the SALARY CAP FLOOR minimum. Georgy and a 4th rounder is the most you will get (an outside shot at a 3rd rounder. He is just not that valuable. Finally, Drury will sets the roster in such a manner as to have only $21K of cap space. He will be looking for that number to be $1M (or as close to that as possible). $1.5M would be better for sufficient "wiggle room.
