Rangers should sign Alex Nylander. Apologies if it was mentioned.

Maybe it’s stammer? Stammer and Nykander? 🤔

Elliotte Friedman:
Kane contract has bonuses. Per sources:
$4M base
$1.5M at 10 games
$250k at 60 games
$500k if they make playoffs
$250k for 60 points AND playoffs.

Total is $6.5M

Nylander on a 2way minimum contract for depth, sure.

I don’t understand how that works. What is the cap hit?

Nick Robertson wants a trade from the leafs. Will only be 23 in September. Interesting idea

$4 mil. If he hits the bonuses, I believe it counts towards the following year. Could be wrong tho

This year, the base. If he hits bonuses, my understanding is that it impacts next year's cap

So maybe 2.5 million dead cap next year

How does that work if he's traded at the deadline? Split by both teams based on GP %?

he's exclusively a LW, no?

Pretty sure if the team has the cap space to absorb the bonuses this season, they can do so or they can choose to take the hit next season.

not sure to be honest, looks like he is listed as one

And, he's the wrong Robertson.

Oh well, no Kane now either.

5'9" 3rd Line LW ---- why would we trade for him? If we want a small guy we already have Berard...

Tyler Bertuzzi won’t be returning to the Maple Leafs. His value has out priced Toronto. He will land a deal elsewhere in the 4 year and over $5 mil per territory.

With the cap increase, there is going to be some crazy spending and some head scratching contracts in the next few days.

CBJ buying out Boqvist
Comtois not qualified in CAR
Nate Schmidt being bought out

Askorov is apparently being shopped by NSH. I’d trade Shesty and take a run at him. Split it 50/50 with Quick this year to break the kid in.

Shesty for Ross Colton and 2025 1st and 2nd

Askorov for Perrault

Save a ton of cap space (especially in 2025+ when Shesty’s new deal would kick in) and add some picks.

Oh no, weve reached that point again. Free agency couldnt open any sooner to get away from this.

Love Shesty, but he may price himself out of NY. That would be a shame, but it’s a business. I’m for guys getting what they think they’re worth however if you love where you play why not take a hometown discount. Your not going to be broke making 9 million.

Will be working on new blog in train ride into NY, hope to post as soon as I arrive, depending how fast I can type on my phone

from brooksie:

Monday is the day that Jacob Trouba’s no-move clause transforms to a 15-team no-trade list. There are apparently hurt feelings on the part of the captain, maybe even deservedly so over the way the club’s intentions were splashed all over the papers and the internet last week.

But it would be counterproductive for Trouba to put on a pout and attempt to make it as difficult as possible for the Rangers to trade him. Trouba has always played hardball in contract negotiations. He had leverage with then-GM Jeff Gorton after the Blueshirts obtained the defenseman from Winnipeg in 2019 with one year left on his deal ahead of potential free agency that he used to get his current seven-year, $56M contract that has two years remaining.


Now the Rangers have leverage via the limited no-trade clause and have decided they can’t afford an $8M cap hit for a defenseman who is projected to be on the third pair. It doesn’t matter whether he was Captain Courageous playing on a broken ankle in the playoffs or not.

If Trouba does not approve a trade to Detroit that is believed in place, he will ultimately be sent somewhere else, perhaps by waivers. The decision has been made.

Do you love where you work? If you do, you should go into your boss and demand he reduce your salary by 25 percent.
