Kreider and Fast are gone.
Strome, unless a 1st is inbound, will remain a Ranger. His PPG has steadily increased and I imagine the Rangers give him a 1-2 year deal.
Skjei is moved in a hockey trade.
No one takes Smith and Staal will not waive his contract.
Kreider + Fast + Beleksey + Namestnikov contracts + current Rangers operating room gets them to ~10M, then subtract 7.5M of dead cap next year, remaining is ~3M.
Rangers need to resign DeAngelo, Lemieux, Georgiev(?), Strome(?).
Skjei seems like the odd man out due to his cap hit and plethora of D in LD pipeline. At this point, Rangers have ~8.5M leftover.
