I'd still rather a bridge deal to keep costs down.

We’re really ok after this year. And probably ok once the Kreider trade happens, cap wise. The important guys are signed already for the most part too. Panarin 11.5 is off the books next year

Then you have to be prepared to potentially watch him walk, because someone will offer sheet. I would love for him to accept 3.5 mil or so, just don’t think it will happen. But I could be proven wrong

A 1st and 3rd rounder would be the compensation right? I mean it’s not the worst scenario if someone is paying him close to 7 million per

I would do 8 years on Cuylle. 6 million bucks per. With the cap raises that will be a bargain

Sign me up.

Miller? Ya. They wouldn’t be until next years draft though. Not sure how that helps us this year unless the plan is sign Gavrikov. Adding a 1st next year would be nice bc it’s a deep draft and PITT has our pick for next year

What the fuck is going on?

Yeah definitely.

20 goals and 301 hits last season.

And he’s only going to be used more with Kreider gone.

Easy grasshopper. Do the bridge to keep the cost down and not get yourself into and contract issues here by overpaying. Do the bridge and then pay if he keeps improving. After a 2-year bridge is over, you still will have one year left of RFA to then decide if you toss $6M his way.

I mean Cuylle is what we ask for all the time. We’re jealous when other teams have players like that lol wtf are doing here?

The cap is going up every year, calm down earwig

The reality here lantern fly, is that, for example, Calgary just bet on Matt Coronato after 24 goal season with a 7 year 45 mil contract.

I am for locking Cuylle down for the very long term

Yeah. Cuylle
- jimbro83

No you dont replace CK20's production with Cuylle, who then replaces Cuylle production?

Sounds like Anaheim is on Kreiders no trade list so he still needs to waive

The Cap going up every year was said in 2019, that didnt age very well.

I'd be ok wit a long term deals for him. If they trade Laf.

This could be really interesting he he doesnt waive.

...and they still have nearly $30M in cap space. It's a bit different of a situation there.

With all this chatter I thought CK20 would have given his ok. Kinda ass backwards to have a deal in place and then ask the player to waive.

You anticipate another pandemic? the forecasts are in.

“The NHL's salary cap is projected to increase significantly over the next three seasons. It will rise from $88 million in the 2024-25 season to $95.5 million in 2025-26, $104 million in 2026-27, and $113.5 million in 2027-28. This increase is driven by growing league revenue, particularly from new national Canadian TV rights deals.”

It’s amazing the lengths you will go to start a fight with me

I cannot believe Drury would risk making the same mistake with Krieder.

Either the Ducks are not on his non trade list, or has already agreed to go.

I’ll go with the latter. Trouba, Wheels, Strome, etc. He has friends there, and they’re playoff ready probably. Ducks have a very good team and a coach who’s won now

Seravalli noted in his article, "It was not immediately clear on Tuesday whether Anaheim was on Kreider’s 15-team 'no-trade' list, but sources believed it would not be a stumbling block either way"

"If Kreider is indeed moved, his closest friend, Mika Zibanejad, might be more amenable to waiving his full no-move clause if asked. The two men have grown inseparable over the last number of years." #NY

Yeah. Anaheim is definitely on Kreider’s NTC.

Although it isn’t believed to be a major stumbling block.

lol. Hilarious. 🤣

Like Bert and Ernie

Larry Brooks just tweeted that Kreider camp and Rangers have been in constant communication since since ended and he’d be surprised if the NTC becomes an issue here.
