I wouldn't think it would be a UFA dman, could see a LD trade. Cap space makes it easier to keep the other guys too, obviously.
Ok everyones asking the question about hank but my question is this a precursor to eichel? if we acquired eichel now, we would have 10m or so (depending on who leaves) to replace 2 lhd and a winger, and pieces on the 4th.

So who plays on the left now? Lol
Only NHL caliber Ld they have is Lindgren. Smith can't be in the top 6. Hajek and Rykov were not good last year. Miller likely isn't read yet.
I can see a cheap vet LD signed for the third pair. Need someone for the top pair.

next person to say Eichel or Stamkos is getting banned when I become a mod in 2035

So question regarding “future considerations”...will that have to eventually be satisfied? Or can the wings just never send anything to the Rangers
today's trade didn't change this need
Now move out Smith to Ottawa.
Sign Dillon for 3 years @ $3.25.
Let Miller/Reunanen/Hajek battle it out for the last spot

Gotta be Krug, right?
The Gorton-Boston connection is all over this...

Yeah, but he was serviceable when used in the right situations. I can see a cheap UFA vet for the third pair. Need someone for the top pair.

It will never be anything substantial because this is just the paperwork way of saying "not gonna get anything in return/we're getting this for free"

Rangers future on D
Oh ok... the tense you were using made it seem more prospective rather than just-happened.
Krug is a fantastic player...but signing an under-sized 29 year old dman for 7 years for probably over $7.5 mil per makes no sense. We should be targeting someone between 24-26 years old that can be part of the long term future.

Henrik getting bought out as well gives them a lot of space
Which I’m slightly worried about how they spend it

Think they'll target an all-situations LD if they bring someone in.

Pivoting with the money and signing Krug would be no bueno. I like Krug but I agree with what @Leetch3 said. Just not good timing with Krug’s age vs salary demand.

$23MM if they buyout Lundqvist but have to sign 9 or 10 players. Would have 13 players under contract with ADA, Strome, Lemiuex, Geo as RFAs and have to fit Laffs contract and bonuses.
Your looking at about $17MM for those 5. Only $6MM to sign 4 players to get to a 22 man roster

@RGY obviously Ryan and Taylor Pyatt have had very different careers. What I meant is that both are guys on the wrong side of 30 and you don't need finesse in the bottom 6, you need grit who can PK. Michael Ryder is like the exception to the rule. Ryan was cooked this year, he isn't going to all of a sudden find a different gear.

Haha they're gonna sign Matt Martin with the extra money now and this board is going to go nuclear
