Speculation: Rangers cap crunch

[justafan22]

After the Trouba signing, the Rangers have 906k to sign Lemeiux, DeAngelo and Buchnevich.

Is one of Strome/Shattenkirk/Kreider/Namestnikov on the block?

Shattenkirk and Names have negative value, Kreider tho, MTL would be interested!

If I'm reading CapFriendly correctly they're $906k over the cap, not under it. As far as I can tell they don't have any LTIR relief either. Not sure what the next move is.

Edit: I suppose that's with a pretty big roster (15F, 8D when all their RFAs are signed). So realistically they have ~$1m with two contracts sent down.

Where are you getting that $906K figure from?

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Yes all of them are on the block. We would be looking for picks and prospects for any of them. Unless it's a mega deal of buch krieder and something for a top 6 center that doesnt make a ton of money.

They would be sending Beleskey down that would free up around 1m.

Gotta think Kreider is a goner

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

3rd + Kaut for Kreider

Yeah, this is what CapFriendly says. And it also says that they have $906K in projected LTIR to be used, but I'm not seeing anybody on their roster who will actually be on LTIR to start the season.

They're in a rougher cap bind than I realized.

I misread the potential LTIR space as 906k.

Buyout Smith
Bury Belesky
Carry 7 D if needed
Trade Namestnikov or Strome

I think they might just automatically flag any cap hits over the upper limit as "LTIR relief" whether the team has the relief or not.

Montreal will take Lemieux off NYR hands for a 3rd. One less problem for them

CapFriendly has too many forwards slotted into the roster (Beleskey, McKegg,Nieves). Rangers have about 1.75m in cap space when roster is adjusted for making space for the RFAs that get signed.


It is anticipated that Lemieux & DeAngelo will sign a 1 year deal for their QO or close to. Which means in order to sign Buchnevich to a reasonable length deal (3-4) they just need to move out one of Namestnikov/Strome/Kreider, or just buy out Smith or Shattenkirk if they cant fin'd any takers of the forwards.

 

[Kaapo Takko]

Namestnikov(1m retained) to Edmonton/Montreal for a 3rd.
Smith, 2nd to Ottawa for MacArthur(LTIR), 7th

Buchnevich 3.25m/2y
DeAngelo 2.75m/2y
Lemieux 1.25m/2y

$81,406,466

Worst case, they just dump Buchnevich for a pick/prospect.

3rd + Kaut for Kreider

Would rather keep Kaut and offer:

2020 COL 1st + Meloche + 3rd for Kreider

Kaut is more valuable than that a future (late) 1st.

 

[unicornpig]

how is a lottery team over the cap.

Hmm tough decision. No thanks. Lemieux has been exactly what we have been looking for, for a long time on this team.

Krieder, strome, names, and possibly buch are on the block. Lemieux and DeAngelo will most likely sign their qualifying offer each at slightly under 1m.

 

[EbonyRaptor]

Where does Ryan Strome mostly play - center or wing?

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Bc of stupid signings like shatty and Smith. 1 year deals of names and strome left. But in 2 years we have a ton of cap coming off. So in reality when we are going to be competing for a cup we will have plenty of cap space to go after who we want, sign our own players, and get another trade like the deal we just did for trouba.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Center. Right now he is slotted in as our 2c

 

[EpicDing]

Where does Ryan Strome mostly play - center or wing?

He can play both equally well really. Think we're pencilling him in as a C going into the season.

 

[Allan92]

Where does Ryan Strome mostly play - center or wing?

For the rangers it was mostly center and he’s an ideal fit there on the third line
