BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I dont know if this deal works without retention at least if you plan on keeping Mika. we would absolutely need to find a way to bridge Shesterkin on a short term lower cap deal and hope the cap goes up significantly (not out of the realm of possibility) shortly after. What do we think Shesterkin signs for? If he signs a higher AAV long term deal, we're looking at under $20 mil to 22-23 cap space to pay Mika, Fox, a backup goalie and to fill out the roster. Shorter term, lower AAV bridge deal can help sign Mika but then we run into the same issue again, needing to get Igor, Laf, and Kravstov signed as well.

Sod16 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 [quote=ThirtyONE;1082305the Rangers have never had a 1-2 punch at center like Eichel and Mika (even if it’s only for a season). When? 5 months after surgery? Without surgery is he anything close to 100% at the start of the season? You can spend months rehabing a herniated disk (I've done it) and be back to square one after aggravating it while brushing your teeth (I've done it).

josh Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Do we even know if he needs surgery now? He’s skating and working out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I went 4m for Kakko 2.6 for Kravtsov. I would have thought those might be a bit high, but not after recent signings. I’m at 85, need a 4th liner, 13th forward and a backup goalie. And no one coming off the books for Lafreniere and Miller to re-sign Yeah. Even with retention, this is tight really quickly. You need Zib at under 8 and Eichel retained to make it work without dealing off Kreider or Trouba. It's not impossible - I'm three rookie deals (3RW, 4RW/LW, Backup goalie) off with 1M in cap, but you need concessions from Zib, Fox, and maybe Kakko/Kravtsov to make it truly work. And even then here, you're moving on from Miller or Lafreniere in 2023 and your cap doesn't even remotely open until 2026 without a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any deal made would be pending Eichel passing a physical, correct? I am still so bothered by the hidden medical records and the neck issues.

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Eichel makes $10 mil, needs surgery and currently has a broken spine. I wouldn't deal Kravtsov straight up. They would have to eat a lot of salary for that deal to make sense. Jones, Georgie and the 1st fine, but they still have no leverage with no place else to send him and we still don't need him because he is redundant.

If Buffalo is dealing a center, I thought they'd want a center in return. It kind of sucks seeing Kravtsov a part of it (if this is even true), though.

Pete Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 "Chytil’s skill set, at least at this point, does not include the ability to distribute the puck as a center or, from that perspective, to make his linemates better." Larry's moved from stealing ideas, to copy/paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Rangers' sub Reddit quite a bit and they say the same stuff about Brooks sometimes. They also don't like Rick Carpinello either. It's kind of funny.
