2018-2020 is gross, but the rest isn't very bad.

Thanks.

When you consider the alternative of keeping him and protecting him it isn't bad at all.

Yeah, I'm guessing he is as good as gone next year.

Protect: Step, Kreider, Zucc, Miller, Zibby, Hayes, Lindberg, McD, Staal, McIlrath, and Hank?

I'd imagine they'd protect Skjei over Staal

Skjei has to be ahead of Lindberg

If you did it that way then you could only protect 4 forwards.

Thats right. Weird way to protect players

They want the expansion team to be competitive quicker, which sucks for fans of the other 30 teams who will probably lose a good player.

Staal still has a NMC, so it'll be required

Rangers would have to protect Skjei & McDonagh. Its not even a question

Thats what I was wondering. Might have to go the 4 forward route

Oh yea, good call. Well I imagine they'd protect Skjei over McIlrath then.

there was definitely some descrepency about whether Skjei had to be protected, I actually think he doesn't

these are rules

Next year will be his second full season of professional hockey, I can't imagine a scenario in which he'd be exempt.

Well he would be a 2nd year professional right? So I'm assuming he would be exempt.

Staal has NMC and as it stands now Skjei wouldn't need to be protected.

Read the Rangers are going with the unorthodox lineup of 16 forwards and 2 d.

All kidding aside don't see how anyone can say this is a negative signing unless the off ice/locker room issue rumors are true, which I doubt.

The Rangers forward depth seems impressive. Only worry is if buch would really go back if not in nhl, but If that's the case I'm sure he'll get his minutes.
