it's why they are doing all that taxi squad jockeying, trying to accumulate cap space so they can eventually have Barron and/or Kravstov here

Yep, have to jockey all year

Eichel for Zib and two firsts (2022 and 2023, lottery protected). Would you do it?

I think I would.

Would Buffalo?

Today is actually a big day for Rangers practice. I want to see Chytill on an actual scoring line practicing

I would drive Zib to the airport, give him money to buy a few beers at the bar and carry all his bags for him.

Not a chance.

I don't think he is eligible to come off the list until Saturday since he tested positive.

no way Zib is waving his NMC to go to Buffalo

Do we get any cap savings by stating the Panarin is on a "leave of absence?" We are also saving from having Trouba out. He has a daily cap hit of just under $69,000. Do we save that much every day that we can use to bring up the kids? Or a portion of it?
I never understand how this works out.

These are all Jimbo questions...I just copy and paste stuff

No, from my understanding since it is not health related Panarin counts towards the cap.

I think Trouba has to be on LTIR to have cap savings? Could be completely wrong.

True true

Thinking in hypotheticals, maybe if there was something happening behind the scenes in NYC or he wasn't seeing eye-to-eye with the team on his next contract

That is kind of concerning. What if him and the Rangers can't agree to a new deal. With his no move clause he may not agree to get traded anywhere. Would suck to lose him for nothing to free agency

I still think Zib works it out somewhat and they end up retaining him for a lower amount than we were expecting.

But Taylor Hall agreed to sign as a UFA there...still can't believe that

And apparently has expressed some interest about returning next season...for some reason.

I get the feeling he's one of the guys in the league that couldn't care less about winning a Cup and just wants to make the most money he can. Which is fine...but I think he's a top-5 most overrated player in the league.

Yeah, definitely not the $10M player anymore, but maybe he comes in at $8.5-9M

Edit: And that's only if he returns to his normal 75pt season self next year. If he doesn't, then $7.5-8M is more likely and idk that I'd be happy paying that to a player who can't figure it out anymore...

Yea I agree, did he really think a year in Buffalo would help him earn more money?

No, from my understanding since it is not health related Panarin counts towards the cap.

- JRR1285

For sure, but with a broken thumb, he has to have been on the LTIR from pretty much day 1 out of the line up, no?

Long Island kid starting to shoot up the draft board for this year's draft named Matthew Coronato

my bosses kid played against him as like a 12 year old

wonder if he was a Ranger fan or Icelander fan

I mean, I'm sure that he expected to ride shotgun with Eichel and amass some pretty impressive point totals getting mega-minutes on a bad team. I expected it too, honestly. I figured Buffalo just wanted to pump and dump him at the deadline and revisit re-signing in the offseason.
