Sujet: New York Rangers signed Alexis Lafrenière (2 Years / $2,325,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>budgeteam</b></div><div>The Rangers would have dumped a contract and matched. So it would have been pointless. Yes, it would hurt the Rangers, but we saw what happened to Montreal when they sent Aho an offer sheet that the Hurricanes would obviously match. They made an enemy, and it but them in the ass down the line.

There are also very few teams who have the cap space to pay him that and aren't also budget teams.

Earlier in the off season, I wonder if any teams approached him. The Rangers clearly had the Kakko extension as their comparable because they boxed themselves into a spot where this contract was the most they could offer.</div></div>

I wouldn't necessarily say pointless... you're getting a team to move a valuable asset just to overpay one of their players and making their future tighter. I'm sure Washington or Philadelphia (if they acquired their 2nd) wouldn't have minded doing that to the Rangers. But Washington chose to spend money elsewhere, if it was gonna happen it would have been done earlier, and I'm also interested if anyone approached him.

Sujet: Laf Offer Sheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marked_Difference</b></div><div>Moving Goodrow is an option but one I think the Rags do not want to make. Another part of the calculus is the terrible player development system, trading for talent may be what NYR needs to do. I agree that a 2nd for a one-year offer sheet is something that could be matched with some work and a cost that NYR would be willing to spend. Turn that into a 4.28MM/4-year offer sheet and that changes the dynamic for all of the signings and long-term progress planning moves they will need to make. AZ can make the gamble right now but I am not so sure that NYR can.</div></div>

I have confidence that they would still match that. And yes to your point they don't want to move Goodrow, it's why they haven't done so, but given the ultimatum between him or Lafreniere, they would still pick Lafreniere and bite the bullet on moving Goodrow. I think in the multiyear scenario you proposed, the Rangers would have to move Trouba next summer, even with the cap going up.
