Known to make odd spreadsheets & post terrible memes. Lots of stats, CBA, & salary cap stuff. Disgruntled NYR fan 🙃.

It’s a very fine line. I do think there’s something to be said about the idea of keeping both and then tying over tough decisions until summer 2024… but by October 2022 this would be ~75% of the cap

Kreider-Zibanejad-X

Lindgren-Fox

X Basically to generalize it: acquiring Eichel and re-signing Zibanejad is attainable. But then you’re locked into having to probably get rid of Kreider or Trouba in summer 2024 (when their full NMCs revert to partial NTCs). And even then NY must bridge all the kids other than Fox.

Official #NYR Off-Season Thread 🥳

I'll update as things happen.

A brand new administration, unbridled expectations, and plenty of cap space to burn.

Should be a fun (terrifying) summer! ImageImageImage Point of order: right now I project Blackwell & Rooney to be exposed purely bc of exposure requirements (it’s essentially exposing 2 of Blackwell/Rooney/Strome).

However this can *easily* change if DiGiuseppe, Gauthier, or Howden sign an extension of any sort prior to expansion.

I am all for cutting youngsters some slack... and I'm all for reigning in relativity for #NYR having a center crisis on their hands [with the Chytil injury...]

but Brett Howden has 0 goals, as a center, in #NYR's last 21 games despite nearly 5 hours(!) of total icetime. That's 13:23 avg time on ice

That's 1 (one) primary point (primary assist) in those ~5 hours

Development ASIDE. Draft pedigree WITHSTANDING.

It is truly baffling how Howden has not served even 1 (one) game with Hartford Wolfpack when Buch, Chytil, Kreider, Lindgren, etc did.

#NYR will have every opportunity to improve this summer. They have the cap room to do whatever they want. They could parlay their sound expansion draft status to maybe even get a LD @ a friendly rate. They may have 'rebuild's over!' license for a blockbuster trade. Anything goes. Until then: they're a cap-crunched, injury-battered team. Between Mika (missing training camp... lingering covid effects??) & Chytil (injury) they're starving up the middle. They have a ghost of a 3rd D pair, even when full healthy. They're the youngest team in the NHL by a mile.
