I’m sure you’ve heard already that Tuukka Rask opted out of the SC playoffs to be with his family. Halak is now the main guy. This one can be over very soon.

I’m not sure what kind of contracts you guys are expecting from vet d men.
It’s very very possible as I have said before, that one of staal or smith is in the top 6 next season (certainly top 7…right). I also expect a young lefty to be involved Heavily in the top 6. Which comes back to the tony D spot or tony D himself.
2 vets Added is ideal, but in no way, shape, or form a guarantee.
Wicky we only deal in guarantees here 😉
I still want to see gettinger in the big club. He had one of the highest scoring rates for guys that played last season.
Problem is, not sure there’s going to be a spot for him.
The other tidbit from jd to remember…he said the rangers will not do 3goues next season so if hank doesn’t retire, get bought out, or go via trade, Georgiev is gone.
Could Gettinger become Ryan Graves #2?
Good afternoon, boneheads!
Post above updated for Carp’s new article.
Go Time at 3 pm.
Beezle, they can only pay him his bonus of $1M and then trade him to make him more attractive to other team because if they retain 50% of his salary, the acquiring team needs to pay him only $1.175M. However, the Rangers will still carry 50% of his total cap hit, or $2.175M
Is Carp trading Kreider?
Atheists should not get Christmas bonuses.
Current LWs on roster, or soon to be.
Panarin
Kreider
Lafreniere
Lemieux
Gettinger
Phil D
RWs
Kakko
Buchnevich
Kravtsov
Gauthier
Cs
Zibanejad
Strome
Chytil
Howden
You can add Barron to either the LW list, or the center list.
Just wonder – what’s so good about Barron, except size? Did I miss something?
Wick I agree about Gettinger. His size would also help that fourth line a bit.
I think a lot depends on how Quinn lines up the left side and what Di Giesseppe shows in camp
Would be outstanding if Barron stuck as a center. Gives them a whole different look.
BDL your boy Duguay was interviewed recently and remarked about how he doesn’t think Chytil is an ideal 2C.
…after discussing himself and his career for several paragraphs of course….
Bdl
I think the top 4 le on your list are licks going forward, Kakko and Gauthier on the rw list, and Zibanejad on the centre list….
I think all the rest are questionable going forward depending on various factors and should be moveable assets in the right deal.
4ever the best thing about Barron is that he isn’t Howden or McKegg
Most people shouldn’t think chytil is an ideal 2C.
Let’s trade this kid and watch him be incredible for Ottawa or whatever…
Cccp
Let’s not do that…mmmkay.
I get the feeling they are going to trade Kravtsov.
I got this feelin’ inside my bones
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on…
That’s possible. The goalie situation and the resulting cap situation seems to be the lynchpin to who is moved to address needs.
Of course you do. lol
Wicky should I put words in bdls mouth and rant about how he WANTS to trade Kravtzov? Last time something like that happened it turned into a great Centre conversation 🤷🏻♂️
Buchnevich will go before Kravtzov does.
As it pertains to RA Kravtsov has a much higher ceiling and is much more inexpensive. I dare say more skill there too.
James
Exactly my point re buch vs kravtsov.
If money frees up from the goalie, maybe it is kravtsov but if only partial or no money comes off the books from the goalie, them more likely buch
like Anderson’s game a lot, i think Dr. Steve Brule named him though…Rangus Angussson
There are approximately 52 days until HL is no longer a NYR. I could be more precise if I knew the exact time the buyout window closes 🙂
