Rakell to Penguins. fuck

Once it was announced Rangers got Copp, I figured we were out on him.

I guess it’s possible if they clear Nemeth’s contract over the summer or maybe even as part of a deal here if Chytil is involved. They can’t outright afford Copp and Strome (or another 2C) with just Chytil going out.

There are likely to be 4-5 players moving out who are on our cap and not playing. Hajek, Gauthier, Rooney, McKegg I expect them all to be gone along with Chytil and Nemeth.

Awesome pickup

Rooney has earned his keep; I dont know that he goes?

[Dunny]

Just a fantastic add, really. We're a hockey team, now.

 

Great day from Drury, regardless of this cost. Don't care.

[RichieNextel305]

I just don’t see any place for Chytil here after getting Copp.

[NYR2711]

Would be nice if they could lock him up pretty quickly too.

Depth. He can play wing.

 

If he isn't the guy going back, here, then you can trade him in summer, but as playoff depth, he's aight.

[Capt]

Love this player.  Of course the cost matters but Copp is just a fantastic hockey player that almost does everything well and doesn't take nights off. Goodrow Copp whomever is a great third line

I want Chytil going the other way. I want his cap space. He’s useless here. Always was going to be.

The return won’t be announced until the typo in the thread title is fixed

Goodrow Copp kakko

[Capt]

Any of Chytil, Kravtsov or Lundqvist going the other way is fine by me.  Now get Copp signed.  

 

Lawton made a claim that the Jets are retaining salary which makes no sense being the Rangers don't need that.  He said look for a bigger deal because of the retention.  Any chance this deal is bigger than just Copp?  55 maybe?  that would be a wet dream

Minimal chance that happens. We have $10.7mil of cap space next season for Strome/2C replacement, Kakko, Blais, a backup goalie, and 2-3 more roster players.

[Capt]

Dredger has the return as picks and a prospect which would mean no Chytil

[LindG1000]

 

So, probably not Chytil.

Copp AND Lowry would be fantastic.

Sign Copp and figure out someone else to go.  Even use Kakko as the basis for a trade to get Stromne's replacement.  

[RichieNextel305]

Why would we need anyone to retain salary??

Using Kakko as bait to trade for a Strome replacement would be a very Rangers thing to do.

Losing Kakko doesn't make space for a 2nd line center, especially if you sign Copp anywhere around his $3.7mil. You'd have to dump one of Trouba or Kreider to make a realistic amount of cap space.

I've wanted Lowry forever.  Could you imagine Goodrow, Copp, Lowry as your third line.  The rangers would be scary

To be honest, if you got Copp at under 5m per for 3-4 years he already could be Stromes replacement and we improve faceoff wise
