it just works out that they have 10 million in deadline cap space this year that they can't take into next year

no reason to try and figure out why, it's just the way it is

It's prorated. What's really going on its let's say you want a $4M player half way through the season. We'll his cap hit to you is $2M. If you have $2M in cap space half way through the year, you can afford a player whose salary is $4M. Rather than work through the math the media will instead say that team has "$4M in deadline cap space" so you can compare the rangers space to their actually salaries not remaining cap hit. Make sense?

yeah, we got 10 million in cap space to use by wednesday playa

Shattenkirk was born in 1989 just like McDonagh

if Shatty is over the hill so is McDonagh

This is different & we desperately can use this players help, right NOW.

which is why I wanna torch someone's house if they claim "we bought the Cup"

because that implies it was easy, and I've never seen something accomplished that was so difficult to do

Without question, the hardest trophy to win in all of sports. Period.

Let's play this out: if they got Shattenkirk and someone like Sharp or Boyle, where are they as a Cup contender?

So exciting

Even if they don't get Shattenkirk and Sharp/Boyle I think they're a Cup contender

As long as they got Kreider, there is always a chance

The Rangers are much more GloboGym than they are Average Joe's. This has been your Daily AM Hot Take.

Closer they they are now. I think they can sneak by the east as currently constructed, but the West is another matter. Our good record against the west notwithstanding, playoffs are a different story. The checking and hitting intensify, I'd be concerned by the D taking a beating from crashing forwards,

what about the girl? she can throw

She can pass, at least...as Emelin and Shane Webster found out last night

Add Shattenkirk to the list of late 20's we've signed. Redden, Richards, Drury, Gomez, Girardi. How have all of them turned out?

That's when most players become UFA's

how many deadline deals are you really hearing about vs the ones that would go down this summer?

also, not asking for any specifics but how do you get this info?

Isles may overtake Columbus when it's all said and done

Well we're in 'Lumbus Saturday at 5pm.

11pts behind them (and they have two games in hand) so I highly doubt it happens, but it would be fun to make them sweat a little.

Jan - I have to respectfully disagree with you on Stepan. i actually thought it was one of his better games. He seemed to almost take Matthews out of the game, which is a tough thing to do. He made some great defensive plays that lead to scoring chances. he is snake bitten yes, but he is still contributing defensively.

That's what we need on both threads an isles Rangers playoff series. I'd send you guys malware, but honestly can this site have anymore?

Sounds like Shatt nixed a deal that would have sent him to Tampa cause he said he wouldn't even talk about signing a extension there. He wants to be here, we need him. I really wish we could work this out.

i think Stevey Y may have hurt TB a little with some of his recent contract negotiations. the way he treated MSL, forcing some players to take less money just because he can.

I completely agree, i think Shatty wants to know what the rangers would be willing to pay him before he accepts any type of deal with another team.

He wants to know what he'll get on the open market, can't really blame the guy. The deal he nixed was apparently $42Mx7, so you know he thinks he's going to get at least another million per on the UFA market. I wouldn't pass up that money either. Sucks for STL but anyone who blames him is delusional.

...and even with all the wheeling and dealing, it still came down to a bold prediction by Mess, a couple of double OT scrabble goals, a goal post with 10 seconds left in game seven, and the playoff of a lifetime by Mike Ricter, before the could hoist the cup. Just think, without all of that, we'd be waiting 77 years.

That's about what it takes the winner almost every year. As others have stated, hardest trophy to win in sports!
Even last year, Pitt was crazy good in the playoffs, but if you asked them, I'm sure they'd tell you it was a monumental effort to make it all the way.
