I wonder if that means we can pencil in one of the top UFAs as a Ranger

Wow, I wonder where he will end up. I think the Rangers already have goalies, no? I think they might be going for a big fish like Taylor Hall or Alex Pietrangelo .. especially after that Marc Staal move.

Sign Jacob Markstrom (5 years, $6M AAV) and Henrik Lunqvist (1 year, $1M AAV)

The King just wants to hang out with our growing Swedish community.

Perfection.

This has been expected for a while and is more about Shesterkin and Geogiev than cap space.

You heard it here first, Lundqvist signs a cheap deal with the Islanders and wins his first Cup

Space for Georgiev to sign now. Split the net with Shestyerkin.
I guess the UFA theyll be hard after is a D man. But whom. They have zero need for RHD.

I think Hank retires.

They don't need a LW or RD. They are going after someone via trade is my guess.

It's been rumored they are in on him. And they have the #1 pick and DeAngleo as one hell of a starting base.

I also think they make a big offer for Krug

I think he either retires or plays in the SHL

His brother Joel still plays in Frolunda (captain and has been there since he left the Stars in 09)

Sign him for 1 year/$1M and he takes us to the Cup!

the buyout will be a cap hit of $5.5 mil for 20/21 and $1.5mil for 21/22.

Move frees up $3 mil in cap space for 20/21 at the cost of $1.5 mil the following season.
