Description

Despite his tremendous playoff performance, mgmt knows they need to cut bait to get some future cap flexibility. Goodrow buyout has biggest hit in 26-27 season. Should not be that big of a deal - biggest contracts (Panarin & Trouba) are off the books that year. Also expected continual cap growth (say 75% of next year's bump year over year) will help cover it. NOTE: I am open to any trade suggestions in lieu of a buyout. I'm thinking a trade is going to require at least 25% retention and a decent draft pick sweetener

Chytil is back next year - move to LW will suit him better due to the previous injuries. Would like to try him 1st on RW with Zib and Kreider but will give the first crack to Kakko. If Chytil stays healthy and plays well, do the Rangers look to deal him for a top 6 RW if/when Kakko fails again

Kakko was re-signed. I think he is going to get dealt - the signing can make it easier to facilitate a deal as the acquiring team now has the cost certainty as opposed to having to deal with RFA arbitration.

Have a 23-player roster with flexibility to accrue cap space during the year - paper transaction Othmann, Edstrom, and Rempe throughout the year (same thing every other team in the NHL has figured out - Drury musted have been absent that day)

For all signings, I used contract projection data from AFP Analytics - rounded $ values as needed

Well constructed lineup. Good explanations. Thanks for the reasonable thoughts to make the lineup.

They should definitely buy-out Goodrow. Saves them cap and gives the rest of the core a wakeup call and that no one is safe

I’d love to swap Kakko and Laffy to see if Laffy can carry Mika/Kreider and Panarin/trocheck give Kakko confidence. If not, you can go back to what works

Chytil is a center through and through. I don’t think he’ll be effective as a winger. Also I feel like Domi will get $4m+ somewhere

Kakko I can see having a chance up until the TDL to see if they move on or not. Lavi wants another chance at helping him succeed

gotta split Krieder/Mikka
Keeping them together only ensures same lack of 5x5 production. And Kakko doesn't fit with them.
Put Cuylle on Mika line (a forward who's a shooter- but willing to play the heavy grind along the boards) and on right, a playmaker. Not sure this is Domi.
Krieder shouild be on 3rd line with Chytil and Kakko.

Like that idea about switching LAF and Kakko.

I believe Chytil is a C as well - but is he a true 3rd line center. He not solid with faceoffs & his defensive play is OK. I think the Rangers are going to move him to the wing to hopefully lessen the chances he takes another big hit and get concussed again.

Maybe flip Chytil and Kreider as well. Lines would look like this:

Panarin Trocheck Kakko
Chytil Zib LAF
Kreider Domi Othmann
Cuylie Boyd Rempe

I really feel the Rangers are sticking with Chytil on the wing where he has less defensive responsibilities and hopefully lessens the chances of him taking one more big hit. I am for splitting up Kreider & Zibs. How about these combos:

Panarin Trocheck Kakko
Chytil Zib LAF
Kreider Domi Othmann
Cuylie Boyd Rempe
