Rangers have some pretty solid guys in their prime for a rebuild:
Zibadejad (25), Namestnikov (25) Hayes (26), Krieder (27) and Zuccerello (30)
That makes it easier for their young guys and prospects to fit in:
Buchnevich, Chytlil, Lias Andersson and Howden.
They have their top-4 Shattenkirk, Staal, Skeji and Brendan Smith and a boot-full of top d-men prospects (some what like the Flames except with room at the #5-7 spots in the NHL)
Lundqvist apparently was asked if he wanted to be traded and he choose to stay with the Rangers.
9.5 M in cap space gong into this season and 25.4 M for next year.
