I offered to take him for just a 2nd.
Didn't realize you gained cap space buying him out next year though.I

Its just not needed with Chytil on LTIR.

That gave us more than enough cap space to make a few smaller moves to clean up the bottom 6 and a trade for either Tarasenko or Vatrano.

He wasn’t signed for his post total, but the previous two years were icing on the cake! But yea but out is reasonable, he is a 270K credit next year and then a hair over 1 mil cost year the following year hurts with 3.6 cap hit then another 3 years of 1 mil so overall not horrid!

TMZers with zero thoughts lol.
Monkey see, monkey do ...here

By then the cap should have gone up enough for us to navigate around it.

Plus Trouba and Panarin off the books for the biggest hit I think

Gotta be honest, I dont think they go anywhere, however their contracts will take a significant cut

Panarin I wouldn’t mind re-signing. Trouba can walk if he doesn’t re-sign for $2m or less lol

That logic isn’t entirely accurate, cap increase just means contract increases and contending teams will be right against the cap still. But I get your point.

I think buying out or trading Goodrow is shortsighted. He does so much good that isn’t recorded on a stat sheet.

I don’t want to victory lap but I think I was pretty on the money with most of my evaluations on the rags.

Which is what

Very good top 6, bad bottom 6, fox was elite, Lindgren underrated, Miller and Trouba overrated.

Goaltending was carrying you and specifically quick would certainly come back down to earth

Bottom 6 sucks because chytil is out and Bonino was the one playing 3C lol. The team is already better with Bonino gone

Miller is absolutely not overrated, he’s dragged down by Trouba who’s horrible lol And clearly you didn’t watch the game last night because Quick surely came down to earth lmao

Average 5v5, top 10 special teams and elite goaltending has been the rangers recipe for success the last few seasons. It’s nothing new lol

Trust me, there are stat sheets that do record those things and theyre ugly too.

I disagree that Trouba drags down Miller. Is he worth 8m per, sometimes. But that was the going rate for a dman when he signed. Miller has flaws to his game, mostly related to his obsession with stick checking.

We are not average 5v5, we are again one of, if not the worst, team in the league at 5v5.

Trouba literally isn’t good at anything except hitting and blocking shots. He’s the Bonino of defense lol

Rangers are 18th in 5v5 goals and 13th in xGF at 5v5, so clearly they aren’t the worst lol
