Too many 3 year deals for your RFA's you'll have then all become UFA's at the same time. Spooner may do 3 but Hayes & Vlad will get 4 or 5 & Skjei will get locked up for 6 or bridged at 2.
No interest in bringing Nash back, especially not at 3 years, i think this breakup needs to stick. Would rather bring back Grabner or use the cap space to take a bad contact back (Bobby Ryan, Brandon Dubinsky) in some sort of Macr Staal deal.
The dollars on Kovy look right but i'd hope the rangers pass on him.
Don't think Smith will get moved, he was passed over by 30 teams, don't see anyone giving anything up for him. He's the Rangers reclamation project now & he's not looking so good in Hartford either ...yikes.
According to CAPFRIENDLY, Staal has a NMC so he can't be sent to the AHL.
Howden & Hajeck play in Hartford , Chytil & Andersson, will probably make the big club, if not,having them all play together in Hartford (along with Day) is fine by me.
I think Zuc gets moved over the summer & they bring in a more seasoned back up goalie for a year & let Gerogiev play a lot of minutes in Hartfrod. If Hank gets hurt, the kid comes up & starts.
Where did NYR pick to get Boqvist? I think he plays in Sweden for at least another year. He's a bit on the small side.
