Forget this.

 

[stl76]

Given the full NMC, better question might be which teams could Lundqvist potentially be interested in...

Spoiler

He's not going anywhere.

 

[themelkman]

Georgiev for a second?

Georgiev for a second?

Georgiev for Labanc?

Georgiev for Labanc?

Kakko for Labanc?

The funny thing is, NJ actually makes a ton of sense here. Lundqvist might agree to go there since it's so close (literally a 25 minute train ride from MSG), and NJ needs another goaltender for next season.

To NJ: Lundqvist (full salary)

To NYR: Schneider - 50% retained ($6m/2 = $3 million/year over two years for the Rangers)

Then the Rangers buy out Schneider so they have a cap hit of $1 million/year over 4 years instead of 1 year @ 8.5 million for Lundqvist.

Haha, checkmate, SJ doesn't have anyone that valuable so he can't come back.

This is value of and not speculation


Has there been any idea floated of him being moved?

I wasn't going to say it.

 

[FameFlame069]

If he were to waive, i think he'd make sense trying to win a cup with the Flames next year, but I can't seem to make a fair trade and no thanks Bern i don't want your offer

 

[Iggys Dome]

This isn't speculation.

 

[BB88]

No good team trying to go for it should be after King.
Even at 50 he’s expensive for backup.

 

[Vikke]

Hard to make money work, but would really like him as a 25-30 game backup/mentor to Hart next year.
Gotta figure the Rangers fans would riot, which is a plus.

If he would waive for a trade it would be for a contender chasing the cup not for the freaking Devils.

you don’t think the chance to hang with David Puddy would be enough to entice him?

 

[nihlify]

Unlikely he'll agree to a move without a chance for a cup.

Ideally he prefers to go chase a cup.
However, if he really does not wanna leave otherwise, this is a situation where politics makes strange bedfellows.
Numbers can be made to work.

Think NY wants and gets a sweetener tho on top of cap relief.

I promise you that I will eat @Machinehead pubes if Hank waives for the f***ing Debbies.

Wont.never.ever.happen.

Why would either team do this? NJ isnt competing for the next 2 years, so Schneiders contract isnt that big of a burden. Then NYR sell lundquist without getting any assets back, the only thing they get is cap relief for 1 year in a year they wont hit the cap? Makes no sense.

Hank would probably retire before something like this came to fruition.

Dayum. I thought the "taking a bath in broken glass and tobasco sauce" was the one but this one might beat it.

Nobody goes to the Devils if they can help it, Hank isn't going to waive for a spot on another rebuilding team. The purpose would be to get rid of Hanks salary, not take on Schneiders.

 

[Tit]

He retires a rag.
Number retired.
Legendary hair, also retired.
