Seravalli Are Reilly Smith or Jonathan Marchessault on Rangers, Gallant's Radar?

[josh]

They'd probably want a player that doesn't require waivers plus a pick. 2nd or 3rd depending on the player

I haven't looked at their cap, but my guess is maybe just one? Cap hits are prorated, so $10 million Eichel isn't actually $10 million this season.

When fully healthy, the Golden Knights’ roster is about $10 million over the salary cap, which can be trimmed to just over $7 million by moving off Jonas Rondbjerg, Jake Leschyshyn, Michael Amadio and Ben Hutton.

Smith for our waiver fodder and a D prospect. 

Gallant gonna get his guys.

Yeah, but by the time Vegas is fully healthy, the combination of cap savings from Stone, Pacioretty, and Eichel will far exceed 10M; those three alone make ~26M and will each miss over a third of the season.

It's a summer problem for Vegas.

You sure? From everything I read, they are expecting to need to clear some cap before Eichel can come back unless he does a Kucherov of course

Until we start losing consistently, I'm not sure the FO is going to make any moves at all.

I'm not, because apparently Stone is already back, which is shocking. 

They're currently operating at ~68m in on-roster salary, with nearly 23M in injury/LTIR

Capfriendly has a cool tool for this, but I think it is only for past team cap hits.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that I’ve heard multiple times that they would need to clear cap space before Eichel could ever join the team assuming the other guys also are back. There’s plent6 of time for them however since it’s not imminent at all.

I disagree.

We’re hurting right now. And it’s only a matter of time before the depth comes into question. I’d sooner see them nip it in the ass now then be desperate for it later and have teams try to bend us over the counter for help.

Options will emerge, but the Rangers should be investigating.
