Wow lol

 

[86Viking]

cap dump, smart by NYR and only cost a 2nd for cap flexibility this off season

[Toyotasfan]

Any warm body can help that mess . 

[CRAZY_4_NAZZY]

 

This is the cost to deal bad deals off the books.  NYR gets nothing in return.

[86Viking]

Cheaper than what the LAFFS had to pay to dump 1 year of Marleau

If we could give up 2 2nds to get rid of LE I would do it in a heartbeat! 

[Where's Wellwood]

Staal only has one year left on his contract with a NMC so he had to waive it to be moved to Detroit.

 

Eriksson would cost more since he's 2 years and $6M.

 

Just bite the bullet and buy him out. We don't have the assets to spend

[Gurn]

Detroit gets veteran leadership and a second.

Why would they want veteran leadership, and not go simple scorched earth rebuild?

Maybe Jim Benning was on to something with the way the Canucks reformed?

Honestly, I like this. Makes dumping Eriksson a bit more likely.

Pass on the buyout, trade with retention or full cap hit for a pair of 2nds in this case. Or just waive him next camp and let him sit at home or got the the AHL or on loan to europe if that is allowed and cross your fingers he gets a LTIR type injury

[billabong]

Well sutter at 4.375m would be around a 3rd. I’d do it.

 

2 years of eriksson would be too much to swallow 

 

rangers can afford to ship out picks. They have enough talent to worry about

Not if Benning is refusing to add a sweetener

Staal is still an NHLer with less term and better character.  Price to take LE would be minimum of a first based on that deal.

[Ronaldoescobar]

Does this peg the cost of getting rid of LE at 2-3 1st round picks?

I sure hope JB can move LE if NYR can dump Staal. Yes more cap hit and an additional year of term but player had a NMC LE and his agent are trying to find a taker for his services period.

 

If only we could send Gadjovich and a 2021 2nd to rid LE. Hate to lose Lind tho!

Then he is an idiot and should be demoted or fired as GM if he refuses to add something...no team is wanting LE at full pop without a + attached

 if we buy out eriksson his cap hit is still highwith the wayhiscontract structured   i feel like they tell him  mutually terminate contract or enjoy 2 yrs in utica on the bus if anything i offer a 2022 2nd rounder to get rid of sutter and  retain half of baertchi contract and offer a 3rd rounder     

cap savings 6 mill if eriksson  cancells contract or 1mill

plus 4.25 plus 1.8   so either  13 mill cleared or 7mill 

 not to shabby

[skategal]

I wonder if JB is trying to play hardball with LE?  We aren't buying you out, we're not losing any assets to trade you, we're not paying anything to trade you, so expect that if your agent can't find a deal for you, you'll be playing on the farm next season, or in Europe if there is no AHL.  So, your move.  Want to retire?
