DoughtysCheck Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 New York Rangers forward Derek Stepan is on the trade market as the off-season starts to heat up, according to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie. Follow Bob McKenzie ✔@TSNBobMcKenzie Worth noting, Stepan has full NTC (for next two seasons) that kicks in on July 1. No NTC until then. Final 2 yrs of deal is modified NTC. 10:28 AM - 14 Jun 2017 7474 Retweets 100100 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy If the Rangers want to trade Stepan and the $26 million left on his contract over the next four years, they'll have to do it by the end of the month as a full no-trade clause kicks in on July 1. The full no-trade last two years with a modified no trade-clause being implemented for the last two seasons in 2019-20 and 2020-21. A complicating factor for the Rangers in moving Stepan, however, is the need to meet expansion requirements. Signing Matt Puempel earlier Wednesday allowed the Rangers to meet the expansion needs of two forwards under contract for next season being exposed. Trading Stepan, who is projected to be left exposed with his $6.5 million cap hit, would likely alter the Rangers expansion plans dramatically and leave them exposing a player they are currently projected to protect. The 26-year-old American scored 17 goals and added 38 assists over 81 games with the Rangers in 2016-17, his seventh year with the club. He added two goals and four helpers over 12 playoff games this season. Selected by the Rangers 51st overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Stepan has 128 goals and 232 assists over 515 career games with the Blueshirts. He signed a six-year, $39 million contract with the Rangers in 2015. Earlier Wednesday, the Rangers announced they will buy out longtime defenceman Dan Girardi.

Ryanstorm Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 If we could some how get Sutter traded with something else he would be a nice upgrade for 2nd line material on a line with Horvat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Sutter and Tanev for Stepan, Rangers First, + a little cap space. That's a legit top 2 centre and a decent pick 21st for a third line centre and a #2 ish D. Stepan takes our teams depth down the middle up a big notch, and allows him to bridge the post Sedin years with Bo as we get a new number 1 in place. Makar or top C at 5 and hopefully Kostin, Yamamoto, Suzuki or Andersson at 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Throwing my hat in the ring. Blockbuster..Rags are league-darling, so they'll get an out... Rags: Stepan, Girardi, good prospect, & their 1st Colorado: Barrie, Colborne, Nieto, meh prospect Stepan shouldn't have embarrassed Lundqvist on-ice. Appears mgt have chosen what to do. edit^ Better make that Staal! Just saw they bought out Girardi! :^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makar or top C at 5 and hopefully Kostin, Yamamoto, Suzuki or Andersson at 21 Rangers are clearing cap space to sign some of their RFAs. Also, they don't have any room to protect players coming from a trade. You are right though, Stepan would be a great addition to the team. Just entering his prime and already a constant +55pt playmaking C, who is also good in the d-zone. He'll be just 30yrs old when his contract is up, so he'll likely still be putting up admirable numbers. Can't say he's a 'cap dump' but for the Rangers he kind of is (especially considering that they have a couple of C's that need ED protection). If he did come to the Canucks, he would bump Baer or Granny off the protected list, so that's another consideration for sure. I think they'd want a pick + a ED exempt prospect and I'm not sure JB want to do that. Maybe if he trades Tanev for a 10-14th pick and the pick to the rags for Stepan?
