Rangers Sign Ales Kotalik, Signals The End Of Nikolai Zherdev In New York
The Manic Ranger - A New York Rangers Blog —
... By my guestimation using cap geek the Rangers have around $2 million in cap space left with Voros and Rissmiller in the minors along with Anisimov, Boyle, Gilroy, Sanguinetti, and Byers on the team. That's also with Cally and Dubinsky making 2 million each. Oh yeah, that's also with Nikky Zherdev gone. What is realistically left for the Rangers is moving Michal Rozsival and picking up another defenseman along with another center or a left winger. The Rangers need Rozsival gone with a smaller one year contract on defense replacing him. With no significant ...

Rangers Salary Cap Situation
Blueshirt Banter —
... cap situation looks like. Well, I used CapGeek to punch in some salaries to see how close to the salary cap the Rangers are. As you'll see below, I've removed Nik Zherdev from the roster, demoted Rismiller, Arnason and Voros to the AHL and awarded Callahan ($2.3M) Dubinsky ($2M) and Korpikoski ($1.1M) new contract extensions. This leaves the Rangers a roster of 19 players about $3M under the salary cap, needing to add one to three more players to the roster, since the current lineup I have only has 11 forwards. ...

... to have some kind of PK unit this season, to a 2 year deal. The guy has definitely earned it, and is a helluva character guy. Boyle can play wing (or left press box), or PA Parenteau can be brought up to play wing on the 4th line. - Arbitration case with Zherdev is "won" by Rangers, with an award for $3.45 million, and Callahan and Dubinsky resigned to 2 year deals at affordable terms. Take a look and let me know what you think: Check out CapGeek.com and make your own roster. ...

Rangers Roster Volume II

... tinkering with this roster, I am sure there will be a third, fourth and possibly fifth volume. A few assumption/predictions: - Brandon Dubinsky signs a 2 year, $3.5 million contract ($1.75 million per year). - Nikolai Zherdev is traded, or the Rangers walk away from his arbitration award. - Ole-Kristian Tollefsen signed for 2 years at $750,000 per season to be 7th Defenseman. - Enver Lisin accepts Qualifying Offer.

Should the Rangers make a play for Kessel?
Blueshirt Banter —
... So with the Morris signing and the Ward trade I calculated the Bruins cap on capgeek—view what I did here—and found that the Bruins were actually over the cap right now. But since I don’t know the Bruins very well I could be wrong about their exact cap. But it is safe to say that they are very close, if not over, the ceiling. With this in mind the question has to be asked: should the ...

... Obviously Phaneuf is another option, but I can't see Sutter giving up on the kid after an injury plagued year. So assuming this hypothetical package is the one that gets the job done, the Flames would have Langkow, Conroy and Boyd as their top 3 centers (Backlund in the wiings), with Heatley, Bourque and Glencross down the left side. They would also have about $3M in cap space. ...

... agents this summer. And, Jiri Hudler will cash in on his Kontinental Hockey League contract rather than play for the Wings. The crowd at forward apparently will allow them to send Justin Abdelkader to AHL Grand Rapids to start the season. Despite Abdelkader's strong work in the playoffs, the Wings want him to get experience with their top affiliate. I keep plugging a 12-forward, 8-defenseman, 2-goaltender roster which includes Lilja's full $1.25 million salary into Capgeek.com's salary cap calculator , and the numbers suggest that the Wings would head into the, "Last day of ...

... If I had to put money down, it probably would have to be on DW making the infamous Kessel Run. There's roughly 18 parsecs until training camp begins, and while Boston is in some salary cap issues of their own, most accounts have Wilson pursuing this very hard. It would have to be creative and possibly involve a third team, but I have a feeling this is going to be DW's play. As mentioned before, he's dealing from a position of power, with Boston the one who is in a bind. Call it a hunch, pure speculation, or a baseless claim, but The Force is strong with this ...

... If DW nabs Kessel, is it safe to assume Michalek may be moved? He may get you the draft picks you gave up for Kessel, although DW would be in the same position he was last Friday- dealing from a position where he needs to dump salary. As we saw then, the return is going to be lackluster at best. I've ran the numbers on CapGeek (with Kessel coming in at $4.0 M), and it seems just moving Cheechoo doesn't get you under the cap if San Jose plans on carrying a 22 man roster. ...
