the salary cap has changed the sport for the fans, we can't appreciate guys as they get older and what they did for us, now we can't wait til they (frank)ing retire and we get the cap space
- jimbro83

No doubt and it's not necessarily a good thing either.

Ive thought this since it was announced... why would Klein just retire like that and not make NYR buy him out? only a dummy would leave that money on the table just to retire

Now can you post that you dont understand why Staal would accept a trade to another team??

Marc Staal, your on the clock, time to retire.

I loved that Kleiner for MDZ trade from the start. I was nervous all the time MDZ was on the ice.

- 21peter

i agree. I remember that trade and thinking, Holy Crap! we got something in return for MDZ?!?! IMO he was the worst. haha

Optimus Klein was great for us. some SUPER clutch goals from him

Tavares, the Rat, Crosby and the other two...?

That's exactly a half Norway Pete

So Klein retired. Way to go mrn.

I really don't have any idea what the next Ranger move is, other than sign Zibinajed, I do believe they'd probably not go into the season with over 4 mil in cap space though

who knows, maybe they have something unexpected up their sleeves
