Nice. Have to imagine a good bit of salary retention, no?

End of an era right there.

 

Sucks losing that 2nd rounder but I get it.

Nice. Maybe we can get Ottawa to take Hank. Must have some FAs in mind to accelerate the rebuild.

 

Cap room is king in this environment.

Whatever helps us in not buying out anyone, I just dont want to be a team that buys out a player for a season that is still in question.

It needed to happen at some point. This is a good move by Gorton to offload the full salary with a pick that might not mean much next year in a weak draft. It's unfortunate Staal fell off the way he did. Thankful for the many good years he brought and am glad the recent years will no longer be endured. All the best in Detroit, Marc.

I’m surprised he waived his NMC to go to Detroit.

WOW. did not see that coming.

Relatively close to home. Short of playing in Minnesota, Detroit is the closest he can get to Thunder Bay.

Something tells me they?re buying out Smith and Hank

By moving Staal?s $5.7M cap hit, the Rangers now have just over $20M in cap space

Thank god

awesome asset management. I bet Staal has a monster season for Detroit.

Team leader gone. Cap room here. I wonder if this is to clear roof for RFAs or if they have a UFA in mind.

Surprised he waived

Sad seeing the core get dismantled but it had to happen.

 

We really don't have much on left D. They need someone to mitigate ADAs at atrocious D.

Staal plays better defense than the overrated wreck Trouba.

Does this mean they’re going to buy Hank out or keep him?

On LD we now got Smith, Lindgren, Miller, Hajek, Reunanen and Rykov. 6 players 3 spots.

 

So I am guessing either Smith getting traded/bought out or Trouba is getting traded and Smith plays the right side.

Does this mean they’re going to buy Hank out or keep him?

 

Honestly, to me, it seems buying out Staal saves them from HAVING to buy out Hank. Doesn't mean they won't. Just means there's a chance they won't.

If they are keeping him, I hope he gets some rotten tomatoes thrown at his well conditioned hair.

so dumb, they could have given Red Wings some prospects we don't need instead of a 2021 2nd rounder which we need a lot more than we realize.

IMO if they were buying Hank out, he's be gone.

next trade is 22nd overall + Lundqvist for future considerations. We won the lottery so now we can starts throwing away assets.
