Guessing 2Y 2.5M

Nice!

Would've liked four years for Hayes. Wanted the long-term on KH after the bridge on JT.

I think he's going to make the Rangers rue this deal.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

2 year deal for Hayes makes sense. Kreider is a more proven player with more good seasons under his belt.

If Hayes next two seasons are like his last season, why would we want to keep him? If he produces, he'll get a bigger contract, but I don't think Hayes can be trusted with a long term contract right now.

 

[RangerBoy]

Bridge deal makes Kevin a group 2 again.

 

[Trxjw]

Good deal. Nice to have the key RFA's locked up.

How much cap space do we have left now?

 

[Cyclones21]

How much cap space do we have left now?

Approximately 3.425, I believe.

 

[Trxjw]

How much cap space do we have left now?

Somewhere between $4-4.5M I believe.

Edit:
Capgeek has them with ~$4.3M without Skjei or Buch on the roster, but including Clendening.

Just Hrivik left now. Gotta wonder if they plan to take advantage of the cap space (what's this?) before October.

 

[17futurecap]

I got them with 3.1 left in cap space with 14F, 7D, 2G. 14 forwards includes Lindberg, Glass, Buch, Gerbe and Jooris so you can play around with how much they have.

 

[Leetch3]

is that total or per?

NICE!

Would have preferred 3-4 years, but this is a great value. Now if only we could dump Nash's $7.8M or Girardi/Staal's $5.5M/5.7M we'd have some room to buy a great defenseman or two.

2.6 per year

3 years would make him a UFA at 27. There was no chance of them offering him that. 4 years would cost 4+ mil per year.

 

[Off Sides]

Break out the Resse-kats or kit-cups

Good deal for both parties.

So we still have money left. Are there any RH PMD's left to sign?

 

[Vitto79]

2.6 per year ? I was hoping for less given the off year but let's see what the kid can do

 

[NickyFotiu]

I was really disappointed in Hayes effort level at times last season but what I like about Hayes is that he earns his points. They come from goals and primary assists. His stats are not padded with empty nets and secondary assists.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Not great but not terrible. Workable as a bridge. The question now is if we can do anything with our dead weight.

 

[Trxjw]

No good ones.

I'd rather they maintain some financial flexibility for a change and see what's what to start the year.

Wiz wouldn't be an awful gamble

Take a flyer on Wiz if cheap?
