dave-O Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 For those keeping track, the Rangers now appear to be sitting at an estimated $51.699M, which would be $1.399M over the cap. And they still have RFAs Sean Avery and Marcel Hossa to sign. Expect some minor movement there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Marcel Hossa would look good in a Sens Jersey. Ex 67 and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hmm... according to this website, the Rangers are 'only' at $49.5M (against the cap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I don't what that website is, but they failed to include Dariu Kasparitis' $2.99M in their total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LXQ42 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Nobody is talking about Yashin getting his contract bought out? I thought he was the "player of the future" for the Islanders. They are now going to pay him $2.2M per year for the next four seasons. My guess is that they want the cap room to keep Blake and Smyth.The Leafs now have Blake....F*ck Yashin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Eklund is saying that the Leafs are still interested in Yashin, but won't offer him more than $2M. The greedy Bolshevik says he rather go back to Russia than play for that kind of money.Another team apparently interested in Yashin is the Habs, according to Eklund, [color:purple]because they didn't learn their lesson with Samsonov.

Guest Low Roller Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Ah. I see. I didn't check the math, I just thought that you said he wasn't included on the roster. I've crunched enough numbers for one day. I'll gladly agree with your postulate that the Rangers will be over the cap if the season were to start today.

bradm Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 What happens if a team is over the cap when the season starts?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 because they didn't learn their lesson with Samsonov. How in the fuck does signing Yashin = signing Samsonov? Because they are both Russian? Do you want me to go there?Fact # 1Training camp hasnt even started yet.Fact # 2Why do you bother talking hockey? It's like Jaimoe talking about the psychedelic experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 What happens if a team is over the cap when the season starts?Basically they'd have to waive/trade/demote to their farm team players with enough salary to get them under the cap to start the season.

It's like Jaimoe talking about the psychedelic experience.Yashin is known for being selfish and only out for himself. Ask any Ottawa fan how they feel about what he tried to pull there. If Samsonov didn't fit into Carbo's team plan because he tended to be individualistic, how do you think that Yashin will? I just don't see it as being a good fit for the team chemistry. If you just want to worry about scoring goals, then fine get Yashin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 You didnt catch my point Low Roller. The season hasnt started yet and you are already saying that signing Yashin is going to be the equivalent of signing Samsonov. There are gambles in this game and with the addition of a salary-cap, you really need to make them. Yashin is a small-priced risk with big-time potential.If he is only going to cost just over two million, I think any team should do it. A nice quick little one year contract and boom. You get that center you facking damn well need. Should I guess that you want the Habs to promote Corey Locke instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 My comparison was obviously not based on a production level (I can't look into the future... yet), but rather on a compatibility level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yes. They are comparable because they are from Russia.pffffftYou're biased because you were in Ottawa for the 'contract' issues he had with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'd take Yashin for 2 million. He's worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Fucking right he is, especially when you look down the middle of the Habs lineup! Its terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'd put you in rhe line up for 2 million Booche. Just to watch you go into the corner once. It would only be once cause I don't think you'd make it back out. It would be worth 2 mil too watch though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'd pay Tucker another $2M to be the one to rape Booche in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
