josh Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Weird. Is that the year Stamkos was hurt? Yes. TB doesn't have nearly the cap issues that people want them to have unless Point holds out for market value. Cernak and Sergachev on ELCs gives them a lot of space to breathe. If they dump Cally, assuming an $80m cap next year, they'd have ~$15m in space. Miller, Killorn, Johnson are tradeable if you need more wiggle room. They have a lot of cap issues, for the next several seasons. Miller has to be moved now, as his mNTC kicks in soon. They have 7 contracts in the "Danger Zone", and theyll be sitting on 10! NTC next season. All their cap hits coming off this summer has already been used on the Kuch and McD extensions. They are at 73m next season having to sign 6 guys, 1 being Point.

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Cernak is signed through next year. In general, I agree with you that TB isn't really a good landing spot for Shatty. But at $3m you could make it work since those other two guys are on ELCs next year. It's the second year of Shatty that would be way more problematic. ah, maybe we have different sources.

Future Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 No, but taking on a contract PLUS retaining (plus Smith buyout) = a lot of wasted cap space. That’s bad business. Why would they buy out Smith next year? Why does wasting cap space next year even matter? It would be bad business for a team that has financial issues - like Arizona - but the Rangers can spend whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt mean theyll go out and do stupid video game/internet shit in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 That doesnt mean theyll go out and do stupid video game/internet shit in real life. Ok, but holding onto Smith and acquiring Cally if it means a prospect coming the other way isn't exactly internet shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Ok, but holding onto Smith and acquiring Cally if it means a prospect coming the other way isn't exactly internet shit. I didnt mean acquiring a contract is necessarily bad, but wasted cap space on buy-outs, retained salary, etc, and you're between 6-8m! That's a first line player. Besides, we should be saving the cap for Panarin and Karlsson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you could spend $22m or whatever on those two and still absorb Cally lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Nope. You have Namestnikov, Cally/Shatty (for this thread topic), Skjei, Smith, Staal all in the Danger Zone, plus Vesey and Strome combining for another 6m on the 4th line. Youre near 90m cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Stralman, McD, Girardi... Shattenkirk? Do the Lightning scout any NHL teams other than the Rangers for defensemen? Can the Lightning have 6 former Ranger defensemen on a Stanley Cup winning team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 lol. I think most will agree that firing AV, regardless of pay continuation, was a good business decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 lol. I think most will agree that firing AV, regardless of pay continuation, was a good business decision only because of the re-build IMO. if the team wasn't in the re-building mode, im not sure AV gets canned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
