Same as the above, you're ignoring the cost to dump Goodrow and although Gabe's an intriguing prospect, those 2 "Scrubs" have done what many, including Gabe, haven't and that's play in 200+ &amp; 300+ NHL Games respectively... Not all Junior Stars or 1st Round Picks make it to the NHL you know...</div></div>

I didnt miss the goodrow dump. I just didnt think I needed to be as obvious as , "the rangers are not moving a top 6 forward prospect to dump a 3.6 million dollar cap hit"
This isn't Marleau and a 6m hit. That only cost a first.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>If Drury trades Kakko for a rental he wont be long for NYR.

Kakko does a lot of things well that do not show up on the scoresheet- yet the good teams (those with a realistic shot of going deep) really crave. For now- Kakko will work with Muse and the rest of the coaching staff, and we'll see what happens once Chytil returns.

If NYR decide to move on from Kakko, examples of players to target would include Morgan Frost, Shane Pinto, and Shane Wright. Who knows what the trade package would look like- with additional picks, prospects, and/or depth players included on either side of any deal. But a rental? Absolutely not!</div></div>

Exactly this. Kakko is an elite defensive forward, plays below the hashes really well and his lines absolutely dominate puck posesssion. He has 3 points because he played with an absolutely snakebitten mika and Kreider. They couldn't score at 5v5 at all. Kakko was feeding them prime chances. He's now playing with Cuylle and Bonino, and Bonino is terrible offensively. Chytil comes back it'll fix the 3rd line and likely generates far more offense.

Sujet: Trouba and No Willy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>This is exactly why I want Trouba! He messed up Matthews shoulder a few years ago, I know his power. But I understand why New York doesn't want to trade him. If they are looking for cap space in the summer, I could see this being possible, but still unlikely.</div></div>

The rangers have a couple avenue's to play with for cap space. Goodrow can be bought out, Ck and or mika could be moved if we're really in need of cap space.

Trouba is our captain, and as a top 4d as the cap rises his salary will look better and better.

We are also mostly locked up in terms of contracts.

Next year we have to pay Kakko/Schneider. Gus has earned a new deal, but we may not want to pay that.
The following year we have to pay laf and miller, but the cap going up will really help that.
And the following year, panarin's salary is off the books. So we have a ton of space to play with.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>a high draft pick not meeting expectations but being a replacement level nhl'er is a bust? "hasn't hit target expectations" he is only 22 so he still has time fs but its definitely running out.</div></div>

I dont know where you get that he's a "replacement level nhl'er", unless all you do is look at the stat sheet? Oh he only has 2 points? Oh yeah absolutely he's a bust, he's not a high end defensive player, playing on a shut down line with a 4th center, because our 3c is injured. Its not like Kakko and Cuylle aren't absolutely dominating the other teams lines and putting up absurd possession numbers.

I get that most people only watch their own team games, but at least try to know what you're trying to acquire.

Kakko isn't a bust, he's just never going to put up 70 points unless he gets power play time. But he's also elite defensively and strong offensively in terms of puck posession. .

Sujet: Can We Force Ourselves Back Into The Patty Kane Talks If Chytil Is Out Long Term
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR_Biggest_Fan</b></div><div>Well he's the best guy still on the market and if Chytil is really gonna be hurt so seriously then we might as well sign Kane cause it makes sense as one of the best teams...I know we weren't in on him but now we have a big whole in the lineup as Bonino/Goodrow aren't necessarily an ideal 3C</div></div>

Let me say this carefully. Stop thinking that patrick kane comes back and is suddenly a 100 pt player again. He has not played a shift of hockey since the playoffs. There has been 0 NHL players who have had that surgery and gone on to have a successful nhl career.
He's lost a significant amount of lateral agility and straight line speed before the surgery, maybe he recovers some of it, but assuming he's back to the 2013 version of kane is foolish.

Kane doesn't move the needle with Mika and CK.

If we're losing Chytil I'd make a splashy offer for newhook.
A first and maybe sykora.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Coachchippy</b></div><div>He's a .962 and 1.00 GAA this season on a dirt cheap contract?</div></div>

Dude. No.
He will clear waivers thats how low NHL teams think of him. Any team in the league could pick him up for a 7th round pick any day of the week.

The sample size comments are accurate, as are the fact that he's a career AHL goalie. He will never be a starter, or even an NHL backup on a deep nhl team.

Also I'm boggled as to the overall concept with this AGM.
The rangers are currently top 3 team in the NHL while missing 3 key players. and yet the idea is to "sell off"

Mika at 50% is worth more a top 10 pick. I think Ryan Leonard is going to be a great player, he's also not worth a 40 goal scorer at 50% for the next 6 years! No team, in the history of the NHL has ever eaten that much salary for that long in a retained salary transaction. A buyout, maybe, but not ever for a retained salary transaction.

Additionally why are you moving sykora for a 2nd round pick, when he's looking really good in the AHL, and that only pushes " the young core" out further.
This AGM seems all over the place.
