So the first offseason contract is with restricted free agent Ryan Lindgren pending in the contract books, a three-year, $ 9 million extension on Monday for $ 3 million per cap hit in three years.
There are now six pending restricted free agents to deal with the heat with Rangers and general manager Chris Drury having space with which to maneuver, but not foolishly, given the number of entry-level contracts that expire in the next few times The season begins with Adam Fox (and Capo Kakko) a year from now.
Let’s start next season with a 13-man shadow lineup of players under contract, including target player Alex Georgiev ($ 2.425 million); Defensemen Jacob Troba ($ 8 million), Lindgren ($ 3 million), Fox ($ 925,000) and K’ndre Miller ($ 925,000); Further ahead were Artemi Panarin ($ 11,642,857), Chris Kreider ($ 6.5 million), Micah Jibanezad ($ 5.35 million), Ryan Strome ($ 4.5 million), Alexis Lafiumer ($ 925,000), Kako ($ 925,000), Vitaly Kravtsov ($ 925,000) and Morgan. ) Belongs to.
This equates to a commitment of $ 46,967,857. The signing of the remaining six pending free agents – Pavel Buchaniewicz, Igor Shusterkin, Philippe Chitil, Brett Howard, Libor Hajek and Julian Gothier – has a potential of around $ 17 million to $ 18 million in the area of Buenchwich and Shusterkin. Will be the combined amount. $ 10 million to $ 11 million.
The team will charge a $ 4,427,777 purchase fee related to Heinrich Lundkvist, Kevin Schtenkirk, Dan Girardi and Tony DeAngelo. And there will also be an entry-level bonus penalty, though not as much this season.
Clubs are allowed a $ 6,112,500 bonus cushion. The Rangers would exceed that by taking Lafreniore ($ 2.85 million), Kako ($ 2.65 million), Fox ($ 850,000), Barone ($ 850,000), Kravtsov ($ 850,000) and Miller ($ 300,000). This amounted to a cap penalty charge of $ 8.35 million, or $ 2,237,500. This number would increase if Nils Lundkvist’s entry-level deal included performance bonuses.
Therefore, the expected outlay to re-sign commitments, restricted free agents, purchase fees and bonus penalties increases to about $ 71.6 million, making it less than $ 10 million to spend under the $ 81 million million flat cap goes.
Now, there are definitely going to be trades. Of course not everyone listed on this shadow lineup will be back. Not every restricted free agent will return. But in the summer season it is titled Snapshot. The Rangers have some space, but hardly supply.
