<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>But they could definitely find someone to take him without any money coming back. Even if they need to retain a little, let's say 750k, it's still way more 1.25mil more in cap savings, and they'd be getting a pick or prospect, whichever would be much more valuable than a 29 year old winger who will be playing in Europe next year.</div></div>

First off, Melk is a NHL player and will be a NHL player in the future. He has value around the league. Second, you are misreading what I am saying. The Rangers are not in a position to demand in a trade for Names. There are very few teams that have the space or the need for him so if they would need to add an asset with Names to move him. In this deal, the Rangers receive net positive (decent role player and room to sign both RFAs remaining) without costing them another asset to move out his salary. It may not be the cotton candy world for the Rangers to find a team to take all his salary without retaining any AND receiving an asset but that is just pure fantasy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>There is a cap difference though. I don't think the add would be huge but the Sharks would probably have to add.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>The difference in player quality is way bigger than the difference in cap. At 4mil, Vlad is probably a little overpaid for a 3rd liner, but still way better cost value than a fringe NHL player making 2mil.</div></div>

What you are failing to realize is that the Rangers are in need of more space to sign both ADA and Lemieux. This deal gives them the space. and is the sole reason they make this deal. The Rangers would be so lucky to find another team to offer anything for Names without giving up another asset with him. In this deal they gain $2M while receiving a similar but much less talented version. It is a total win given their situation.
