Chytil is gonna command Cozens money at this rate
- picklerick

Maybe. Even if gets 7, I don't think he will, they still have 9 to sign Laf and Miller.

having Kakko at 2.1 mil next year is extremely good right now, if they can get lafreniere on one of those kind of bridge deals too it would really be lucky
- jimbro83

Laf will be the cheapest

He annoys me irrationally but I am trying to remain positive about him. He needs to stop the dumb penalties.
- JRR1285

Those are kind of his thing.

Chris Kreider needs 30 more goals to move into 3rd place all time for Ranger goal scorers. Pretty crazy.

Those are kind of his thing.
- BINGO!

Your timing is impeccably annoying.

- tomburton99

I don't think he'll get 7.

A couple years at $6/6.5 million or so to prove this isn't a one-off seems fair. He's still an RFA and gets a chance to really cash in in a couple years with a much higher cap.

What is the cap next season- 83,500,000?

Next year

Laf
Chytil
Miller

Following year
Kakko
Schneider
Lindgren

Including Shesty, Kreider, Zib, Fox, Trouba, and Panarin contracts....that is no easy feat to sign all those guys

- BINGO!

Yeah I'd be fine with him getting like a 3 year deal, like 5.75 AAV. Let the actual cash he gets increase every year. Let him cash out one more time.

Next year

Laf
Chytil
Miller

Kakko
Schneider
Lindgren

I think Lindgren is someone you move on from at that point. He is destroying his body.

nope, some unpopular decisions are going to have to be made, but really what should be done now is getting Chytil and K'Andre done, it doesnt have to wait

I think Lindgren is someone you move on from at that point. He is destroying his body.
- JRR1285

Exactly. He's another Dan Girardi. Good and bad. His game is going to age into oblivion once his body fails him. Last night had that brutal turnover to Miller who assisted on Podkholzin's goal.

That would be tough for me I know what you’re saying tho.

Yeah, those two are the future, they can worry about the other poop when it comes up

I would be fine with a 2-3 year contract but he's going to want his payday.

That would be tough for me I know what you’re saying tho.

I don't like it either but they need to be smarter with some of these contracts going forward.

I think the three this year probably cost you around $13 Million combined, maybe $14.

No idea what Schneider and Kakko cost next year though.

- BINGO!

Kakko next year will need to get to Chytils level this year. If he doesn’t by then I think we got ourselves a question mark and he could get moved.

- JRR1285

Yep. At an estimated $87.5 million cap in 2024-2025, assuming you can get Chytil/Laf/Miller signed for $13 million, you only have $12 million in space with 15 guys under contract.

leave us alone

- Slimtj100

True. He's more or less Puljujarvi right now.

leave us alone
- picklerick

No I like you guys.

True. He's more or less Puljujarvi right now.
- BINGO!

Good player.

True. He's more or less Puljujarvi right now.
- BINGO!

stats wise maybe, but if you watch them play he's about 100 times more important to the Rangers right now than Puljujarvi is to the Oilers
