Sujet: Who seattle picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shakabakes</b></div><div>Rangers won't give up a 1st to Protect bottom tier players.

If Seattle doesn't bite on Deangelo (likely won't), then they'll pick between Gauthier and Howden.

I firmly thought a while ago that they would protect Gauthier over Blackwell, but that has changed. Blackwell has excelled greatly wherever he is in the lineup. Gauthier continues to struggle with consistency, and has seemingly now lost out on a Top 9 spot long term. Rangers would still prefer to keep him, but no desperation to give up a Top Pick for him.

Hopefully Seattle takes Howden. Everyone is done with the Howden experiment. No way they use a protection spot on him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WalterT</b></div><div>No way they protect Ronning, who does little if he's not scoring and isn't going to find a spot on the Rangers top six. Seattle won't take him either. Strome will be protected. At least one and probably two of Gauthier, Blackwell and Howden will be exposed. And since every Ranger fan hopes it will be Howden who is picked, it will be one of the other two. Francis drafted Gauthier in Carolina, so maybe him</div></div>

Thank you, those are great points you both make.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JarmoK</b></div><div>NYR are basically a worse Toronto. No cap room to do anything whatsoever</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WalterT</b></div><div>There's only $2mil of cap space here because they took on 3 salary dumps that cost $12mil. In real life they have $19mil in cap space. Signing RFA's Buchnevich, DeAngelo, Lemieux, and Pionk might cost $10mil and adding Kakko and Kravstov is $2mil more leaving $7mil but with 25 men on the roster. So trade Vesey and Namestikov to get to $13mil over. Leaving room to sign Panarin (though he's probablyhoing to Florida) or trade for someone like Trouba. Or take salary dumps.</div></div>

And by the time anyone of significance is up for a new contract, Staal, Shattenkirk, and lundqvist are all gone, along with a 2m in relief on girardi's buyout, 6.25m of marleaus, plus the 3+ of kulikovs buried contract.. i think they'll be good
