Kreids!

Csn Shesty stop being a dick and just play goal ? Twice this period he’s worried too much about being hextall

Alright just in. What did I miss? What is Sam wearing? How did Kreiders celly look ?

Might have been more receptive than those two girls I bought a shot for lol

Stars win in a shootout. ADA gets denied for the loss. Think this was a bigger steal than us the other day. 50 shots or thr Canes. 47 saves.

Yeah that I know. Like i said, I read your message wrong then. I'm pretty good cap wise knowledge except the performance bonuses since we can't know what they actually are.

Canes Stars 3-3 late in the third. Stars outshot 41-15

Listed at 5'8 152 lbs It's still not desired by some around the league for some archaic reason.

Wow!!!

Alright, so then not qualifying them doesn’t mean anything. The cap space for next year is calculated with all of them gone as it is. That’s what I thought. I must have read your original message wrong because I thought you were trying to say there’s a savings on top of what’s already calculated to be there if they say bye to those guys. .

So i just want to make sure we are on the same page. All RFAs right now still show up as on our cap until they are either not offered a contract or qualified if rfa with arb rights? We have Gauthier at 775k rfa arb Hajek at 874k rfa arb geo at 2.425m rfa arb blais at 1.5m rfa arb kakko at 925k no arb which is 6.5m. Cap friendly shows we have 10m cap space next offseason. Puckpedia shows 12.5 cap space but I think they don’t count performance bonuses we might have had rolling over until next year. Forget the new guys because their cap hit is prorated so they really aren’t “coming off the books” but we lose Rooney, Strome, and mckegg which equals to 6m (4.5m+ 750k + 750k) those rfas all + ufas = 12.5m which is what puckpedia says we have this coming offseason. It sounds like you are saying we save more money than that by not qualifying guys but I was under the impression our 10-12m cap space this coming offseason is with already not bringing back any rfa.

Setauket you say eh? Maybe I’ll see him around town this summer lol

a couple of things. First is I’m not sure how that works on projected cap space. If Geo is an rfa with arb rights, is his cap hit QO still counted right now in this coming off seasons projected space or is it calculated on rfas not returning ? Second regarding Fox. No they didn’t “have” to pay him 9.5m dollars. They chose to. Fox said he only wanted to play here. I’m not suggesting they should have low balled him. I’m not even suggesting they pay him 5m. But they could have tried a MacKinnon and at least get a 3-4 years out of around 7m or so. It’s still a very handsome payday but it’s slightly friendly. So it means he might make 11m in 2026 when the cap has risen and hopefully we have won a cup already or at the least have a much better grasp on our cap situation I’d have signed up for that. I don’t care what other organizations do. The Rangers have continuously bargain from a position of strength to still give away the house. If you’re going g to do it with pending UFAs like Trouba you can’t also do it with RFAs even if they meteorically rose. What was the danger? Fox was going to be insulted if the organization said they would pay him 7m because they want a little cap room in a flat cap world to still use for other people so he can win a cup for his boyhood team?

I don’t think he’s going to command more than 2m or so for a 2 year deal and that’s fine with me. If we were trading anyone, I’d rather trade Lindgren than Kakko. Lindgren will never blossom into a difference maker when talent wise Kakko can. Trading him is selling on a low when he could be worth so much more. Unless you believe Kravtsov can come in still to this organization. But even if that’s a possibility, I don’t sell on Kakko unless some team blows me out of the water which won’t happen since it makes no sense for a team. Like I said, let’s not forget Kakkos rookie season includes 13 of his 23 points on the pp, a situational stat based purely on offensive potential and production. I’d kick the can on him rather than sell low.

I don’t think trading Georgiev creates any more space than the 10m or so we currently have this coming offseason because he’s not under contract next year. Either way, whatever goalie thry have still eats into that space. It just has to be less than Geos 2.4m As we both said, we create space by saying bye to Chytil and Nemeth. That’s 4.8m more space but even that’s going to be very tough because you still need a backup, would need to replace Nemeth with a body, Strome, 3c, 4th line options with Rooney, Motte, Blais, plus need some cap room for performance bonuses that might have been hit by anyone…. I know it was extremely unpopular but this is why I wanted to bridge Fox. Not with a real bridge, but at least a 6-7 million bridge that isn’t a slap in the face just because these couple of years now are pretty thin cap wise to upgrade.

You can’t trade Kakko. He’s exactly the low pay value bridge contract we are going to need. Kakko > Chytil so Chyil would be the one to go along with Nemeth if you wish to try and keep Copp and Strome. Plus a backup that costs no more than 1.5m max. You just have to hope for a team friendly deals which is going to be a bit tough. For all the lack of production Kakko has shown, it’s still more than with Chytil. At least Kakko has shown he can actually perform on the pp somewhat and considering he’s lined up to take a 2.5m bridge deal, I’d def keep him and kick the cam there for a 20 year old Kakko than a 22 year old Chytil.

I'm not worried at all about Shesty but I hope this curbs a bit of the better thank Hank talk you here once in a while.

I think you are yeah. It’s just more along the lines of the guys they brought in reflect Drurys lunch pail American NCAA/US development style.

Yeah, of course. He’s still very young. Future is very bright.

Wonp womp

Avery does not approvate that you know this song

For old times sake I just wanted to say

I think a slight problem with him is that scouting reports are catching a bit up with him. His game is heavily dependent on patience and letting the play unfold in front of him. However lately he’s been holding it without moving his feet still so he’s been coasting and being forced into errors when his options run out. We saw it tonight. Still young so I have very little worry in the long term of this but he has to speed his game up from time to time.

Absolutely
