They also have Spencer in the wings for goals. Or is it only the Rangers that can buy out players?
Have you looked at Florida's current roster? The ship looks like it is sailing well.
I have this strange feeling that you didnt even read what i wrote. Bobrovsky's contract is bonus laden, meaning its buyout proof. A buyout would reduce the cap# from 10m to 6-7m depending on the year. Well aware that Knight is waiting in the wings as he just signed, as well as Lundell and Denisenko over in europe. They dont have depth beyond that, and a lot of their great value contracts will be up in the next 2 years.
That does not mean that you can create a move like it is EA sports simply because want to.
and? Whats your point? If the player is available the Rangers should pursue him because he fits like a glove, simple as that.
Makes very little difference where his residence is. That is not how tax laws work.
Oh yeah? Is that right? Do tell. It must be a wild coincidence how so many hockey players with bonus laden contracts have residences in Florida and other tax haven states.
Let's play the pretend game. How are you affording him?
Rangers are projected to have $50 million in free cap space in the 2022 off season, obviously this doesnt include any extensions signed this offseason, but if Barkov is a target for the team in any way they will have 0 problem affording him. If you
need a direct apples to apples, Strome and Zibanejad's contract expire next off season and together they free up 10 million. Buchnevich next contract will be somewhere around 6million per and that can be moved as well to free up space.
Do you have anything of actual substance to add to this conversation aside from your very strong feelings that Barkov won't leave florida?
