Pete Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ozzy said: I really don't see this happening, but if it did I think I'd go the Pete and Phil route. I love the kid, but $6 million for him?? No dice, baby! I can't see us putting ourselves in hot water, cap-wise by signing a guy that's...to tell you quite honestly...not worth it....not yet anyway. Maybe/hopefully in a few years he is worth that much....but not now. Right, and therein lies the rub. An offer sheet can only be matched, so if someone offers Kakko $6.1 with a contract extension for the year after in the desk drawer for $4x6yr, then that a total of $30M...Rangers can't come in and offer 8 years at $3.5 after the fact, to bring the total value closer at $28M....The 6M next year already fucked us. The Devil is in the details. Edited March 30, 2022 by Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im saying he hasn't progressed where im spending a significant part of this cap for a hope and a dream. No thanks. Want to win now with the team that has a solid core and promise. Let's face it though, no team is giving him 5+ mil because he was a #2 OA. Cmon, let's be real. I absolutely think a bottom dwelling team would throw such an offersheet at him. Seattle, Arizona, Buffalo, Detroit and so on. Anyone with loads of capspace could and SHOULD take a stab at a mishandled 2OA. Especially if the penalty isn't even a 1st rounder.

LindG1000 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Yeah aside from this scenario being a complete and utter fantasy, the harder part is that the rangers will almost assuredly be cap-fucked on a lower deal than a first round return.

It sure would solve some cap issues if they did!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
