[friedman] Georgiev is in Rangers' Long-Term Plans?

Where are we getting $13 million from, out of curiosity?

 

He was owed $12.5 million in total compensation this year and next.

He’s already received his $1 million in bonus this year and they’ve paid him half of his $6 million in base salary

 

He’s owed $5.5 next year.

$1 million in bonus plus 4.5 in base

 

As of now, I believe hes owed about 8.5 million total for the last 18 months of his contract.

Could be wrong but I think it’s adding it Shattnkirks dead cap space

2.74

2.98

3.04

3.18

 

It's not only the defense.

 

But nobody with an ounce of sense walks away from $13 million.

 

Oh I see it now

 

Yeah

 

I don?t think they?re rushing to line up for more dead cap space either

7.5 million in dead cap is on the books for next year. And they still have 2 more years each of Girardi and Shatty after next year which eats up about 2.5 each of those 2

 

Need to avoid buyouts at this point

They had one bullet on that and they spent it on Shatty

 

With Staal, Smith, Hank, and the big portion of Shatty?s buyout being over with next summer, that?s a ton of space they?ll recoup

I don?t see them fucking with that

Holy crap -- 2 more years for Girardi? Man I forget those things.

Yup

2 more years AFTER next year

It’s through 22/23

 

It’s something like $23 million in cap space they recoup on Staal, Smith, and Hank plus the drop in Shatty’s buyout hit after next year.

Does Staal stay as a 6th/7th for a huge discount?

After next year?

God no. He brings very little these days and even him at a discount probably costs as much if not more than giving someone more deserving a chance from within.

They can find a younger, more mobile yet still veteran defenseman to be a bottom pair or 7th D.

They’ll have no shortage of options to fill that spot and do it affordably.

I posted stats a few weeks ago, the only players to sign 4+ year deals and complete them with the Rangers are Staal, Girardi and Lundqvist. Their subsequent deals were ... restraining

 

Huh? Didn't they buy out Girardi?

Huh? Didn't they buy out Girardi?

 

All of those contracts were their 2nd contracts, then re-signed.

 

As in, even their best players turned out to be detriments in the cap era.

 

Most importantly, long contracts DONT work.

I'd amend that - long UFA-age contracts don't work. I'm not sure I can recall a long contract awarded to a young RFA (24 or younger) that backfired and wasn't an attempt to circumvent the cap.

Well, if it happened, they didn’t finish out the contract with NY.

 

I went back to the 2005 lockout when looking. I may have missed something, though. But out of all the players to be in NY for 15 seasons, and only 3 finished contracts of 4/5 years or more... well...

 

(I am also the person that usually says “don’t worry about next seasons cap, it’s never been an issue”)

In terms of Staal and Girardi, I think most of us assumed it was one or the other. I re,enter many of us surprised they signed Staal after previously signing Girardi.

I meannnnnn. Brady Skjei.....

And I think we all thought both terms were bad. I think most here wanted to trade Girardi instead of re-signing him..

I think they’re going to do fine though on Panarin

 

While it’s not the same category, and while I think eventually he’ll figure it out and settle in, no way they get their money’s worth on Trouba

Wouldn’t be too bad and it does offer a production replacement for Kreider if you feel last year was more of a norm and not the production of playing with talented players. Awfully small though

You don't say.

I don't know much about him other than he's 25. He's a 3rd liner, yeah?

You don't say.

 

You are still wrong

I don't know much about him other than he's 25. He's a 3rd liner, yeah?

 

He's basically Jesper Fast with offensive ability.

 

45-point (0.55 P/GP) player thus far in his career.

Yeah looks like a 3rd liner that gets some pp time on the second unit. Potted 20 last year .

 

 

Just looking at their cap hits. Who the hell is going to play defense for them next year? Lol. Give em Skjei and Georgiev and we will take Nylander and his contract :)
