Confirmed with Link: RIP NHL Lockout (September 15th 2012 - January 12th 2013)

[RangerFanInJersey]

Drop the puck!

 

[Ola]

- 2 compliance buyouts to be executed prior to 2013/2014.

Jackpot for Philly (or are they stuck with Pronger no matter what?).

 

[Gardner McKay]

WHOOOOOO!!!!! ITs over and IM back!!!!!

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

So Luongo, traded or bought out?

 

[NYRangers88]

It's like Christmas morning all over again!

 

[Ola]

Any players with just one season left on their contract that make between $5-8 million that could be bought out or traded for at a minimal cost?
And when would the trade deadline be? Any word on that yet?

One thing for sure is the Rangers will more then likely not take on contracts that are longer then one year.

Haha, Slats might be able to trade and buyout.

IE, trade Pyatt and 3rd to Tampa for LeCavalier and a 1st. Play him here this season and then buy him out in the summer.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Its so nice to be back on these boards. I have been avoiding them for the most part during the lock out. Will this be our thread for information as it comes too? Such as season length, start dates and so on?

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Only thing that I don't like off the bat is the draft lottery. It was bad enough when the Devils moved to the 4, now a solid team that missed the playoffs by a point can get the best player in the draft? I know the chances are small, but they aren't non-existant.

I like it, tanking for first overall just became a lot less viable. Unfortunately it happened long after the Pens did it lol.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Can't wait to see Gabby and Nash lighting teams up.

I don't believe you can buyout an injured player unless that has changed with this CBA, but I highly doubt the player's union would sign off on that. We will see...

 

[RangerBoy]

It will be harder to bury one-way deals in the minors under new CBA. This season anything over $900,000 in AHL counts on a team's cap.

To be clear, one-way deals in AHL totalling the minimum salary plus $375,000 are exempt from cap. The #NYR have a decision on Redden.

Looks like minimum salary was kept at $525,000. Add $375,000. $900,000.

Rangers take a cap hit of $5.6M.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Any word if NHL Center Ice will be free like they said a few weeks ago?

I hope so. Im in the process of moving and won't have cable set up for like 3 weeks at least.

 

[NYRangers88]

Anyone hear an update on the swap of the Winnipeg and Columbus?

 

[HeaveHo94]

Well good morning to u

so can the Rangers not buyout Redden for this yr? IF so it hurts alot as they wont be able to get a good player at the deadline.

Agree with this 100%. I would like to see the mathematical basis behind how they change up the lottery system.


Side note* Now that hockey is back, if our damn gov't could get together and make online poker legal in the states again, I would die a happy man.

 

[Vitto79]

Anyone hear an update on the swap of the Winnipeg and Columbus?

last time I heard they were not doing that this yr but something will get done to move Winnipeg next. I would think this would be a big deal and TSN is not talking about it

The whaaa??

 

[92hatchattack]

So now all we have to do is figure out a line name for when our tripple headed monster hits the ice together.

I'll go first.... how bout the GunsNRoses line...GNR (Gabby,Nash, Richards)

 

[SnowblindNYR]

We would have loved that rule from 98-04 lol

And we would never have won. Kind of like how we had the worst pick from all of the teams with the most balls in 05. Of course I'm not complaining with Staal.

What exactly is this? The only hockey I have had for the last 3 months is via twitter. Can some one go into some detail??

 

[TUQ]

Anyone hear an update on the swap of the Winnipeg and Columbus?

Not this season - Portzline

 

[Clown Fiesta]

The whaaa??

Obama traded Columbus to Canada for Winnipeg.
